I don't know if it's been mentioned yet but I just get a very Sonic CD feel from the song YYZ by Rush. I don't know if there are any reasons but every time I listen to the song I feel like I'm quickly playing through Sonic CD :P

Off-topic,
I was bored, so I made this: Together Forever (Sonic 3 Drums)
Together Forever (Sonic 1/2 Drums)
Whenever You Need Somebody
It's Together Forever by Rick Astley using the ultimate megadrive soundfont (demo midi)

Just noticed this when listening to Tidal Tempest Bad Future the other day; the part in Reptile's movie theme starting around about 45 seconds sorta matches the part of Tidal Tempest BF starting around 6 seconds. This is an odd case because CD predates the first MK movie.

Sonic Advance - Secret Base Zone Act 1

Super Mario Land 2 - Wario's Castle

Anybody else noting a similarity here? I can't get it out of my head!

Same with Streets of Rage 3 - Percussion.

As someone has said in that video's comment, it's probably inspired by the Peter Gunn theme.

Oh wow! and to help drive the point you're making home,

http://www.youtube.c...related#t=0m54s ...from Twinkle Circuit of Twinkle Park, as it's synth as well. That's a really neat find Black Squirrel. Kills me that we'll probably never know whether that was intentional or not. Perhaps we could shoot Jun Senoue a link and question over Facebook sometime.



Also, Neon at the SSMB pointed this one out.

The Beatles - Money

Tropical Resort Zone Act 1

[Ch1pper]

I chalk up Twinkle Circuit to just sneaking in It Doesn't Matter as a neat little cameo. The fact that it and the Quartet tune are both done on synth is hardly anything to write home about. Like how SA2's Event 1/"Let's Make It" is a nice little arrangement of SA2's It Doesn't Matter.

But comparing It Doesn't Matter in general to the Quartet tune? Yes, that's intriguing; Very nice find!


On "Money" and Tropical Resort: Meh, just a common riff. Amusing though.

Yeah. I was just throwing it out there, since I personally have a hard time relating vocals to synths (It took me forever to finally understand the Classic City Escape/Endless Mine thing in Generations, for example). It was just in case anyone else has that issue, not so much a "Oh hey, It Doesn't Matter is in Twinkle circuit" post.

[Ch1pper]

Ah, okay then. Carry on.

I have the opposite problem. I ALWAYS associate lyrics to musical notes. In fact I'll hear the notes before I ever understand what the actual words are. I think that leads to why I initially hated the music for Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 (2 even MORE) because of certain lyrics that were intentionally not musical.

Compare the drums at 2:16 in this song


To the drums at the beginning of this song:

[Falk]

That's a stretch, they're both tribal african beats. I don't think it's actually possible to write something african ethnic sounding which doesn't resemble those :|

[Mykonos]

This isn't just me right?





Check the bass in the latter from :49 onwards, and compare to Classic Sky Sanctuary. It's not so much that they're exactly similar, but there are some slight similarities in sound. To me this is just more of a neat coincidence than anything.

If you want a specific example of what I'm hearing, check :08 of Classic Sky Sanctuary vs. 1:00 of Message From Nightopia.

[XCubed]

The funny thing is that I heard the slight similarity with the pitch bent bass in Sky Sanctuary Classic and was wondering where I heard it before. You just answered my question I also realized how dissimmilar they also sound from one another in a sense. The SS version has a more "open" sound...I forget the terminology used in music composition software,

So now, it has been a year and two days of me being on Sonic Retro;
To be honest, I love the site, Sonic is at his finest here, the people on the forums are friendly;
Sonic Retro is a seriously great group to be a part of,

I thank you for giving myself the chance to be on here (even though it was only 020 posts), and I hope that I may experience more of this site in the future.

As a parting gift, here is a music mashup that I did;
It is Puresound's City of Hate mixed with Tomoya Ohtani's Aquarium Park Act 01.

Anyhoo, toodles.
