Trick question baby.

And Lower Torvus is most definitely a remix of the music from the Crashed Frigate.

1. Darn you

2. I'd like Kishi to confirm this then if you don't trust me...

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Crashed Frigate = Maridia Remix

It's indeed a "floaty underwater theme," and it was certainly intended to be reminiscent of Maridia's music, but it's by no means a remix or a remake or anything like that.

And Lower Torvus is most definitely a remix of the music from the Crashed Frigate.

It's "Brinstar Red Soil Swampy Area" from Super Metroid. It's exactly the same except it has GameCube-quality synth now. Don't know how you didn't notice.

Boop boop.

Gah, I always get Maridia and Brinstar mixed up, how embarassing.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

I remember because Maridia is like "marine" and Brinstar is like "this area was in Metroid and there was no water in Metroid."

[Lindy]

I meant the music of them.

Actually getting the areas mixed up, no chance.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

That's no big deal, then. I did the same thing when I first entered Lower Torvus: there was water all around, and it was obviously Super Metroid music, and that Brinstar song does kind of sound like that Maridia song, so it took me a few seconds to realize it wasn't.

[Lindy]

Torvus Bog and Lower Torvus have the purtiest music in the whole of Metroid Prime 2 though.

Intoxicating, but then Brinstar always was too.

[Chzn8r]

Yeah, all that fanfare and title screen stuff wasn't really what I was takling about Kishi... just main music remixes of songs that were originally main music. But then, I also didn't have that extensive knowledge of the song titles and relations. You truly are a Metroid conisseur (sp?).

[Lindy]

Err, psst, any chance of pointing me in the direction of Metroid Prime and Prime 2 music downloads?

[Medi]

Go to metroidonline.com. On the left it says "Music Menu" Press it and click which game you would like to download music from.

[Lindy]

Ta' very much.

[Medi]

Your welcome, I've downloaded from that site many times.

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Also the Metroid Database. If anything, it's much easier on the eyes than Metroid Online.

[Medi]

Wow, I've been to that place before, but I didn't know it had music. Thanks, Kawaii

[Chzn8r]

Wow, this Metroid Online place sure makes getting Metroid music easy and fast Any tracks you'd recommend? I've only grabbed some favorites so far, from the Prime games.
