FINALLY!
A cover that remains faithful to the original and mantains the great essence of the game.
Incredible cover, I would love to listen to some more of Metroid II. =)

Spectacular!

WONDERFUL. One of my favourite tracks from video games, and you've captured it perfectly - the subtle orchestral and atmospheric sounds in the background are something else, and the fact that the drums and bass are actually done correctly (something rare in remixes, I find - usually the percussion is too obtrusive else non-existent) is fantastic. With a lower tempo (which wouldn't benefit the song), this could easily have been a Prime track.

this is a great remix of surface runner, probably one of the best of the music of the metroid series. its true that return of samus has always gotten little attention, but this remix sounds great. this sounds like the original with a unique twist. the song is upbeat, adventuress, and there is also that sense of danger that grows the further samus delves into this massive underground world. the song also compliments the title "return of samus" beautifully. this is impressive and be proud

You are such an amazing remixer, Gencoil! I couldn't possibly encourage you enough to keep these wonderful tunes coming! I never played Metroid II all that extensively (I love Metroid and Super Metroid though!) and this tune makes me want to give that game a try! Awesome, awesome, awesome... :)

This makes me proud to be a game developer. Good job man.

...wow. Man you blow the majority of the people on OCRemix out of the water. I always loved Metroid II's main theme, and indeed, the whole game is fantastic, but this theme really personified the feel of it all.
Your version of this is what I would expect from an officially released "reboot", like what they did with Bionic Commando ReArmed. I love how you stay so true to the source material, but also run with it and take it places that simply blow the listener away. 10 out of 10.
More Metroid..MORE MORE! Don't stop! ^_^
Something great about all your tracks is the heavy bass and drums. There are few fan-remixes/covers that I enjoy blasting as loud as yours. (Poor neighbors)
