I didn't realize people appreciated the weirdness of Metroid II's sountrack as much as I do! I mean, a lot of it isn't really music, but I can appreciate the very alien-sounding ambient parts and the more musical things are great, especially the main BGM and the baby metroid music. Yoshitomi won a place in my heart with those. The Metroid battle music is also a brief bit of fantastic chaos.
I think the typical Yamamoto'version of the Metroid sound has some highlights isn't all that interesting overall, so I have a bit of trepidation about this news. We shall see.
By the way, if I remember correctly, Yoshitomi is one of the people credited specifically for music in those Pikmin short films that Miyamoto directed and they sell on the Wii U eShop.
