I AM NOT A GEEK
but
I must admit I superlove the Metroid OSTs. Especially this track:

it was also the music for Brinstar depths on Super Metroid

but I prefer the newest version.
I had friends that listened almost only to videogames OST, and I thought it was uber bullshit (like they were "ooh Balloon Fight NES OST is pure genius" - and I'm not even joking, it's litteral transcription), but now Metroid OSTs rock. They totally get you into the game atmosphere.
And I totally could see this underwater Torvus theme into an electronica/ambient album... Listen to the end of that "Dead Sea" Plaid track, it sounds very metroidish.
That had to be said
