Just thought I'd pass along what I'm listening to right now, because so far it's been pretty nifty. Some members of the Overclocked Remix community have put together a 19 track project called Relics of the Chozo. It's the entire Super Metroid track remixed by several different artists working together. So far it's been really good, though the middle portion isn't that great... sort of like the middle portion of Super Metroid's soundtrack isn't that great, with the exception of Maridia (which they unfortunately didn't do anything impressive with).

The whole thing is encoded in the Ogg Vorbis format, but that shouldn't be a problem if you're using Winamp 2.90 or higher. The whole thing weighs in at only 42MB or so and I think it's worth a listen.

Overall its a quality collection with some good takes on the soundtrack. I would've liked a little more variation on the instruments used, and some of them lack the energy and spirit the songs from the game have, but I'll take it. Full of Life is my fav out of the lot.

Now that I’ve fully heard it, here are some comments:

I think the first songs have too much high notes and sounds, it’s annoying for the ears.

The whole is -psss-, I’ve heard (I think) other arrangements for Super Metroid BSO and I enjoyed more the original then too, don’t know why.

About the songs themselves, some were better (Premonition Of Fell Purpose, So It Begins..., The Galaxy Is At Peace...), some were worse (Pyroclastica gets really ear hurting sometimes), but, there are 3 songs that I specially liked:
- Full of life was really nice, but I still prefer the original (Brinstar 1), one my favourite songs in the game, and probably my favourite of all the original ones.
- Braving the Flames, although at beginning is just like Pyroclastica and that noise hurts my ears, then it becomes much better.
- Ebb Tide Manifest rocks; it’s so calm... or, perhaps not calm... well, I don’t know, but I like it, my favourite of this album.

EDIT: A few improvements
