Luminist | Super Metroid: Resynthesized - Brinstar - Red Soil

Super Metroid has one of the best soundtracks of any videogame out there, so I decided it would be cool to recreate it in high fidelity using hardware synthesizers. It's been a fun project and I hope you enjoy it!

This version of this song is so under appreciated it actually disgusts me. I've shown this to everyone I know who loves synths and/or super metroid and so should everyone reading this. Let's get some more support for Luminst!!!

[@VVO-kb5uo]

Late reply but fuck yeah!!!!!

[@thebagg4553]

Disgustingly underrated just like this series

[@djayjp]

"Luminist"?

[@SaltySwede]

*_Atmosphere_*

[@helio_troped]

It’s nearly 3 am, so apologies if this comment isn’t very coherent, but I really feel the need to compliment you!!! I came across your NES re-synthing only a little while ago (at, uh 2 am), but I’m a HUGE fan. I love synth music, and you’ve given all of these tracks a lot of atmosphere and /feeling/ that the original machines couldn’t manage to pull off. It’s a crying shame about the copyright, I’d be /glad/ to give you money for this experience. I’ll be looking forward to any more of these remasters you end up doing, no matter how long they take :)

[@thoradin24]

I’ve never heard versions of Metroid songs that I felt were truly what the originals were intended to sound like, until now. You are incredible. You totally get what Metroid should sound like, vibes and all.

[@ivanantipov6962]

Dude, I've listened to the whole Super Metroid on repeat for 50+ times. Please continue the series!

[@RemixExtender]

*_YES YES YES._* My favorite track from my favorite game, in analog synths. Gives it a really nice, deep feeling. My only criticism would be I think the bit at 1:21 is a bit _too_ echoey, but that's my opinion. Otherwise it's really nice.

[@bigshoelmfao]

@Ultima Zetano this guy has all the brain

[@KZ_Suntorn]

I like how distant the lead sounds there tbh, but it does make it feel like it's supposed to come back for a second time with more punch and volume. Part of the limitations of working with the original arrangement, it makes sense.

[@beefypotatorito4562]

This is my favorite track so far, nice work!

[@9a3eedi]

agreed!

[@bluestone9726]

Potatoe Took the words right out of my mouth

[@coldsouparchives2149]

I hope the soundtrack gets finished some time! I'd love to hear Maridia and Lower Norfair remixes from you. Your metroid remixes are so creepy and atmospheric, no one else on KZbin compares!

[@vanesatie]

Totally agree! Just finished the game last night and was wishing for those exact resynths.

[@garbage_person]

These Metroid tracks are a treasure. So faithful yet, unique. Feels like the way these songs were envisioned. Hope to hear more fantastic stuff from you.

[@yourneighborsobnoxiouscat2287]

The best rendition of it I've heard.

[@NOLNV1]

This is probably the best super metroid one!

[@jamesramcoon8573]

Unbelievable. Such a rich and compelling atmosphere the OST added to the game and I think this track adds to it without taking ANY steps backwards which can't be said for other covers. Well done!

[@thebagg4553]

This is fucking amazing, I’ve always loved Metroid games for many reasons but it’s unique choice to try and make the player feel extremely alone in an alien world is unlike anything I’ve ever played. Back when I played these games as a kid I absolutely loved em playin them for about an hour every other night before bed, now as I’m older for unrelated reasons I’ve grown a fear of being alone yet I still BADLY want to come back and play these games. You fit Metroids atmosphere so well dude, You gotta try doing this with the other Metroids. You got a talent

[@Turtleproof]

I was ready to go into a cantankerous old man rage at ruining a good song but god damn you knocked it outta the park.

[@Bonez4127]

Just found this This is the best Lower Brinstar cover I've heard!

[@theminiyosshi2901]

The one that sounds kinda like something from traditional Japanese music, but like underwater. I always imagined it as that, like towering traditional Japanese buildings but with technology integrated within it, and it’s submerged in water completely but the lights are still on and this music echoes through the area.

[@miketacos9034]

The best version of this music out there.

[@eyesack_bones]

I listen to these over and over. I love them, the specific analog, synth instrumentation is mesmerising. I’d love to see this project complete someday.

[@ErKtheErK]

Revisiting your channel since you started doing the live analog tracks. Damn... I love your work. Thank you.

[@Learn.DontBeAFool.]

This is phenomenal! Thank you

[@Gecko1993HogheadIncOfficial]

I want to hear more analog synths of Super Metroid. I love listening to your renditions so much, I want to hear the rest completed as well! You do really beautiful compositions, Luminist. Especially since I discovered these wondrous synthesized sonnets on Metroid Database!

[@kitty_kath]

Sorry to hear that you've had to pause the project, I hope you can get back to it eventually, because as far as I can tell, everyone here is loving your work!

[@drfresh2]

Love your take on this classic!

[@SpectreOfTheWired]

I know what I'm giving thanks for. Been waiting weeks for this one. Fantastic. Magnifico.👌

[@b6b4g3]

please finish super metroid music. i love everything you did and need more.

[@mikey2541]

Good Job on this! One of my favorite SM tracks.

[@JustinDT123]

Finishing up the album now, you did SUCH an amazing job. Great work man.

[@FreemaN4851]

Amazing work dude!

[@squidyspecifications7709]

2 years later and this is still the best lower brinstar remix ever. Thank you for making these even if you haven't finished the ost I'm glad we have the ones we have. Amazing work, your Metroid and Super Metroid remixes are the best!

[@juanignaciomoreno5988]

Beautiful!! Thank you.

[@triiistone]

Best reinterpretation. It's staggeringly good. All your stuff is incredible.

[@deatsbybre7162]

this gives off the same foreboding vibe as the original, other remixes don’t do it justice.

[@Hyde209]

This project of yours is beyond cool =D I'm such a huge fan of Metroid and synth so this is right up my alley. Kudos for making this ^^

[@aquastar66]

All these songs really bring back memories. This was probably my most favorite game along with zero mission. I’m so glad to live especially this track through a synth aspect. It makes me feel very happy. Can’t wait to see other tracks. :)

[@timfields176]

Thank you I was looking for this before so happy now

[@GalileoAV]

Thanks for the music, man. And doing collaborations with other channels is a really good way to get the word out and spread your work. I wouldn't have found this is it weren't for the music in Summoning Salt's metroid world record progression video.

[@Numinor31]

covers/remixes of this track are always the awesomest! whether it be electronic or metal/rock/etc

[@janvs666]

This one is a absolute hands down

[@fellnet]

Now we wait for Maridia, the other real good track. Rocky that is. But this is superb👌

[@arvidinator3184]

You mean Maridia?

[@DeathScorpi0]

This one's the most favorite of everyone because the instruments actually fit best with this song. So good man.

[@meau2049]

holy shit these remixes are all incredible. amazing work

[@jd1ggs102]

This being used for a young metro beat for future would go bonkers

[@8rb1]

I've been waiting for this day to come.

[@pasowen]

Always thought this track had Reznor vibes. This version sounds like it’s off The Fragile. So good.

[@Kyle07]

great as always!

[@PSUQDPICHQIEIWC]

This is such a remarkably competent complement to what is a remarkably good soundtrack. As Battlefox64 has suggested, this is something that's good enough that I've actually brought it up in conversations and physically made people go to the computer and check it out.

[@ghostgawzilly93]

*OH. MA. GAWD.* this is one of the most addictive songs ever.

[@Granattaaaaaa]

A mod for Super Metroid, with this music over a good sound system....that would be perfection. Thanks for these beautiful interpretations!

[@Medic_main_wanabee]

It feels like if metroid was about exploring underground watery cave systems. Oh wait, that *is* Red Brinstar.

[@JamesMoney]

A couple of days ago I found your NES Metroid Synth and absolutely loved it, then I went on to Super Metroid. I really hope you're able to make more of these someday, but if you're done with the project, I understand that too

[@patraygun9231]

Fantastic work

[@danifart420]

probs my favorite track in the entire game, so seeing your take on it is fuckin good as all hell

[@NapalmDawn]

This is so good, words fail

[@mycabbages3538]

I found what I was looking for! Ty. Subbed.

[@KidPrarchord95]

Great as usual.

[@Apathesis0]

I wish Metroid games had more music like this. Brilliant version!

[@TheCrimsonSeven]

This goes so hard

[@IIIDemon]

thanks for making the album free. will be listening to it on my way to magfest tomorow. =]

[@shirtyscarab554]

Oh this is REALLY good.

[@Chiptuneswin]

*STILL* my fav Super Metroid (if not Metroid in general!) track of all time. ♥

[@lambda494]

That bass is phenomenal. You make me want to pull out my Ableton, or better yet, go get a real synth.

[@MarcelineSilvermoon]

When this came up in my feed I was finally at peace :)

[@DeeBellwether]

boppin' 'n hauntin'

[@ChangoKnight]

Now that’s my jam

[@wjetsra]

godlike

[@marcosfrm]

Nice work as always! 💯 Please upload the remaining tracks. Particularly Maridia.

[@Mentaclink]

"Unfortunately at the last minute they blocked my licensing request". It's weird isn't it? Do you think it's because they're planning a Super Metroid remake?

[@nathaneskin3572]

Mentaclink God I hope not. I just want a sequel to Fusion. Super Metroid is great, or at least good enough that a remake feels really unnecessary.

[@scottythegreat1]

Its not the first time that something that sounds as good as this gets praise from Nintendo and doesnt get approval from them tp use their copyrights (see formation of id Software as a reference).

[@rikardandersson4546]

It's not needed.

[@necroticdeath3549]

@@nathaneskin3572 good news, we're getting a metroid fusion sequel, it's coming out this year and it's the rumored Metroid Dread.

[@bigshoelmfao]

all we need is crateria surface when the rain stops

[@finoraptorscorner]

So sorry to hear that about this project. But at least you got to remake my favorite track in this game!

[@Korgi_Polymer]

Wow, that MS 20 is working up a sweat!

[@libertarianredpilled5932]

Oh wow

[@nalicompleteworks]

Shame about the licensing falling through, but thanks so much for doing this in the first place. Metroid was born for synth.

[@mattyg3227]

this version is more aggressive compared to the original, which by no means subtracts from its quality. its just different. the original one was laid back. love this version too.

[@pongod5751]

Subscribed

[@mikedragax]

You capture the soul of the game, i think the metroid creature died above you...now the next game should capture yours.

[@giovanniprovost]

OHHHHHHH YEAHHHHH

[@Z-Man7]

Need some vibes before Dread is upon us tomorrow.

[@lucasmother3512]

Agh, Must have LOWER NORFAIR

[@knightshousegames]

The ONLY thing it is missing is that synthisized vocal sample. That really made the original feel so raw and dangerous That being said, all of these remixes are incredibly, this analog 80s sound is perfect for the aesthetic of these games. 1:22 ugh, this part is just the best.

[@nathaneskin3572]

Any interest in doing on of these for Metroid 2? It doesn't have a lot of tracks and most of the ones it has are dissonant and weird but I don't know, could be interesting.

[@Luministmusic]

no plans for more metroid stuff right now, but who knows? :)

[@joshrudolph613]

This is a superior cover to the Micheal Lemanti version, the only thing it's missing is the choral voices samples to make it perfect, but I get that it would mean sampling the original which would shut the whole cover down. Still fucking dope as shit.

[@Renzsu]

Man, Nintendo should totally let you do more of these and license them / make them official and sell them with their marketing behind it.

[@Ixzion]

Dude, I'm so late but this is so fucking good it makes me want a metroid horror game with all your music. How do I donate to you? If you have brave browser, I could tip you with BAT. Either way, let me know. Also, how much would it cost to get the rest of the soundtrack?

[@chadthedrunkard4941]

How are you supposed to know where to go if there are required secret bombable walls???

[@dominartyrant9014]

How did you made these flashing effects on the video ? i love it ! And gd job btw :p

[@campos3452]

You really have to pay attention or you’ll miss the best part.

[@Sam-hn8bv]

Any plans for another Metroid game resynthesized? (I know I’d love to hear your take on the Fusion soundtrack)

[@alastairward2774]

Ah, so that's where the spazer is hiding...

[@lmeza1983]

1:16 creepiest place in Brinstar until you realize its actually Maridia.

[@djayjp]

Please do Maridia!!!

[@trentemartin9682]

Wheres the underwater theme? Did I miss it? My favorite...

[@SirYodaJedi]

He hasn't made it yet.

[@Creatively_Bored]

I think I now know why the licensing was rejected, a lot of Super Metroid's OST was resused / remixed in their Metroid 2 remake on the 3DS.

[@bigoof9654]

That sounds like it makes a lot of sense.

[@saeedalshaikh3799]

imagine mixing this guy works with MSU-1

[@redbrinstar3227]

I would love to make this happen. Currently waiting on @Luminist for permission.

[@Stunlokked]

what emulator filter?

[@theplatformerreviewer6905]

Does the file have the whole soundtrack?

[@squeenixu]

Metroid: Hyper Light Hunter Kinda sounds like HLD tbh

[@dannyprikhoji3250]

Hey, I have a few questions regarding music licensing when covering video game music. Is there an e-mail I can use to contact you?

[@alexwhite6554]

Now don't get me wrong, this music is amazing and so is the other content from this channel, but there is something about this music that I disagree with. throughout it, there'll be like this horror violin noise that I think is really unneeded because one, it adds too much noise, and two, it gives a feeling of inhospitality which I don't think fits well with red Brinstar.

[@Luministmusic]

I see what you're saying and no worries if you disagree, but personally I think Red Brinstar should feel inhospitable - which is why I choose specific sounds to evoke a feeling of quiet, mysterious danger. Samus is traversing alone on an alien world after all :)

[@crispitycrunchy]

Anyone else agree that Super Metroid needs a remastering for the Switch?

[@Zeoproo]

Now finish the soundtrack
