Overclocked ReMix has just launched a new album, Heroes vs. Villains. The album matches the music of heroes from popular games with their villains. Best of all, Super Metroid is featured as the first battle! (There's also a candid shot of the back of her suit on the album cover.) First up is Big Giant Circles, who gives us "The Bounty of a Brain", a nice trance and guitar mix of "Theme of Super Metroid" (now commonly thought of as "Theme of Samus"...) with plenty of chip warbles and a truly meaty drumbeat. There's a nice break into "Galactic Warrior - Theme of Samus Aran" (Crateria surface theme). The second is by Mazedude, whose "Dieselbrainage" has some serious DJ discord with a truly demonic trance organ. These beats are gonna stomp all over you. Also check out the nice break at around 1:50. While the two mixes aren't exactly my style, you can tell they're solidly done, as seems to be most of the other album. Thing is, with the American mixing scene, you get a wide range of styles, but a lot of it is influenced by the DJ and hip hop scenes. If that's your thing, awesome, but not my thing! I also don't prefer my "Theme of Simon" to sound like Plants vs Zombies :P (Still, solid grim reapage from Ailsean on Drac!). Anyway, we've got the two Super Metroid pices in our fan music section, and you can download the whole album individually or through torrent at the official page.

Until next time...
