Edit: The use of the drums/percussion to simulate Samus' footsteps and the dissonant string section plucking set a really really tense/uncomfortable mood even in this little bit of music. Man they went all out on the ambiance now that I'm listening to it again.
Huh?!? I thought they just accidently recorded someone's footsteps like the cough in the Fire Emblem suite. That'd be pretty cool if that was their intention, though...I remember flipping out as a kid when I picked up on that.
I still listen to it every now and then, obvious recording grain* and all (not sure if it's just my copy, though I noticed some YT uploads have the same exact grain).
*Is that the right term? Grain? It's really noticeable in the All-Star bit of Original Medley, but I still love it anyway.
