Solid release. Galileon is especially hot, and the cover art is beautiful.

If you want criticism, though: I think Void Traveler and Heights are weaker than the rest of the material. The melody in both tracks I find to be, in parts, repetitive and annoying in an action-gamey sort of way, though the drum programming is generally solid. I prefer the moodier, more atmospheric sort of feel the other tracks have. But hey, I'm just a guy. It really is a good record.

Thanks, guys!

@Crystal Labs - yes, the soundtrack isn't particularly high quality... to be honest I like digital noise (it's weird, I know... listen to some of my other music and you'll hear it all over the place) and so I didn't take any pains to remove it. However, I'm probably going to do an EXPANDED STEREO EDITION of this release at some point, and I will surely fix things like that. Hopefully it doesn't ruin the experience or anything.

Thanks. Yeah, Metroid has my favorite video game soundtrack of all time, so I did intend it to sound a bit like that.

Made using Skale Tracker and SFXR. I attempted a very retro style to match the game's minimal, pixellated graphics. It's my first full-length soundtrack, and I'd like to hear what people think of it.
