Various - The Metroid Trilogy

Review by Yepe Dial

The Metroid Trilogy by Various is a must-listen for fans of video game soundtracks and electronic music. The album features tracks from all three games in the Metroid series, each composed by a different artist.

The first game in the series, Metroid, is represented by tracks from composer Hirokazu Tanaka. His use of 8-bit and synth sounds creates a nostalgic atmosphere that transports listeners back to the era of the classic Nintendo Entertainment System.

The second game, Metroid II: Return of Samus, is represented by tracks from composer Ryoji Yoshitomi. His use of ambient sounds and pulsing beats perfectly captures the sense of danger and exploration that defines the game.

Finally, the third game in the series, Super Metroid, is represented by tracks from composer Kenji Yamamoto. His use of orchestral instruments and electronic beats creates a cinematic experience that perfectly complements the game's epic storyline.

The Metroid Trilogy by Various is a fantastic tribute to one of the most beloved video game series of all time. The album's diverse range of artists and styles ensures that there is something for everyone, while still remaining true to the original games' iconic soundtracks.
