If the Super Metroid soundtrack had been professionally recorded in a studio, without the limitations of the SNES hardware, how would it have sounded like? By using vintage sample libraries and synths, this is my personal reconstruction of the Super Metroid soundtrack, in full Hi-Fi audio glory.
Each instrumental line was remade from scratch, note by note, seeking to preserve the original arrangement by Kenji Yamamoto. In line with the current SNES soundtrack "restoration" trend, I was able to source many of the original uncompressed samples used in the game ROM, and filled in the gaps using era-appropriate synth samples. I tried my best to preserve the original panning and overall mix structure of the original track, while upgrading it with a more polished production. The result is, at least to my ears, sonically compatible with what was possible to be achieved using high-end synth and sampler hardware available in 1994.
This is an ongoing project, where new tracks will be added to this album as they are completed. Feel free to support my work or suggest which tracks you would like to be featured next.

One day I came across this title on YouTube and it intrigued me. The nostalgy hit me so much that I went back on IRC in 2019. Thanks to that, I met my girlfriend after being single for 15 years, and moved to a new town 6 hours away from me. All of that because of a click on that song.
Music has the power to change people's life and this track is my personal proof of that fact. swipesomething
