▶SEBASTIAN'S COMMENTS◀

I've always loved Dread's mysterious OST full of unconventional music theory rooted in augmented, whole-tone and octatonic/nonatonic scales which give it that great unusual foreign planet vibe. They way the soundtrack is crafted really transports my mind to this planet of ZDR that is different from our own. It's a collection of comfort music to me, helped me out a lot when I was in a rough place back in 2021 and still comforts me today. What better than to finally give my main channel a cover this soundtrack deserves! And I went for a whopping 8-track medley! Artaria the start of the adventure but also a place you'll be back to on your extended journey making it perfect symbolism to represent an anniversary medley!

PS: All melodic content transcribed from original, there are no melodic references to other Metroid games in my arrangement and no, Artaria Temperature Restoration is not a remix of Ridley's theme as many think, completely different chords, time signature and melody.
