You're listening to Super Metroid Symphony. You can find each track listed below:
"Composed by Kenji Yamamoto and Minako Hamano, SUPER METROID 's soundtrack was always my favourite from the franchise with it's blend of eerie ambience, gritty underscores and unforgettable melodies. As a composer I'd always wanted to approach rewriting it from an orchestral perspective but it wasn't until recent advances in software and sample libraries that I felt I could truly do it justice.
SUPER METROID SYMPHONY is the culmination of years of experience working with the Synthetic Orchestra and my biggest project to date. With the aim of faithfully recreating every piece of music from the series' 3rd game, the album is an hour long journey through 30 tracks that were lovingly crafted - minute by minute, note by note.
I hope you enjoy listening to the final album as much as I enjoyed working on it."
Blake Robinson, Synthetic Orchestrator.
"Super Metroid Symphony is currently the finest rendition of the soundtrack you'll find. While it has a few weak spots, this is exactly the kind of album fans have been imagining since we first heard Game Music Concert 4 way back in the 90s."
Metroid-Database
"Many of the tracks get really close to being amongst the best fan renditions. Super Metroid Symphony truly succeeds in trying to capture what the game would sound like if it weren’t limited by the SNES’ 16 bits."
Shinesparkers
"Blake Robinson has put together Super Metroid Orchestra, sixty minutes of absolute gorgeous sounding symphonic recordings. Using a virtual orchestra Blake was able to transform these classic gaming songs into an musical experience bringing you front and center in front of a real live group of classical musicians!"
Weekly Gaming
"It's probably the next best thing to an international Metroid Symphony live tour"
Destructoid
"While there are certainly plenty of Metroid music projects as well as symphonic video game arrangements, the quality of Super Metroid Symphony and its focus on one of the greatest games ever made allows it to stand apart."
Horrible Night
"If Nintendo ever decided to remake Super Metroid in HD with an orchestrated soundtrack, this tribute is a great intepretation of what we might hear. There's been many covers made for Super Metroid's music over the years, and it's great to have a fresh and faithful album completely orchestrated"

You can now listen to SUPER METROID SYMPHONY for free! The album is available for streaming on this page, or over on SoundCloud.
Projects such as this require hundreds of hours, mountains of effort and pockets full of money to produce, especially when it's almost exclusively the work of a single person. By supporting the album people were directly helping to ensure that I can bring you more video-game-orchestra albums in the future.
SUPER METROID SYMPHONY was created using a large array of software and sample libraries I've both collected and created over the past few years.
FL STUDIO was used exclusively as the Digital Audio Workstation and a variety of sounds from companies such as Spitfire Audio, Cinesamples and Project Sam were utilised.
A large selection of custom instruments were also exclusively developed for the project.
