Blue Blur: Sonic Generations Original Soundtrack

Oh my, the full length Big Arms remix by Cash Cash is just sheer music POWER in its best form, really love this track.

Thanks ever so much for the album, it got me to sleep last night!

 

Downloading as we speak. Can't wait to hear some of the tracks.

Great work as usual Ashram.

 

You see, Ashram and the rest of you, this is why these album topics are one of my most disliked.

Because it makes me open up Audacity and do incredibly strange things like this. Enjoy "Yet Another Mushroom Hill Remix."

 

JezMM of SSMB went through the songs and listed the changes:

 

Well gee, what's stopping you from doing it yourself? :P

P.S. Here it is. There's a gap in the disc 3 listing because that one page still seems to be missing in the archive at the top of the thread. Also, I'm really curious to hear a translation of those "Notes from Sound Team" pages. (And I apologize for any typos as I did this..I'm sure they're there somewhere.)

 

Wait wait wait, is there a misspelling on the album? Radical Highway's remixes are listed as "Vengeance is Mine" on the Wiki page, and that's certainly not how "vengence" is spelled.

 

Are you telling me SEGA has lied to me all these years?

Anyway, download is at 58%, hooray for MEGAUPLOAD intentionally making me wait!

 

Finally, a chance to listen! Prepare for an unusually long post from me (I'm skilled at brevity)

• DISC 1: There's not too much to say, seeing as we've already had most of this one.
• I like the way Sky Sanctuary Modern ends. Very pretty.
• Tony and Ted are having entirely too much fun on City Escape Modern! It's almost too rad.
• The Modern mixes of the three Dreamcast Era levels all end in the same way their original OST releases ended (CE with "I'll make it through" and the two SHs with unresolved chords).
• Rooftop Run Classic. The new ending only makes it THAT MUCH MORE PARTAYYYY
• Rooftop Run Modern's ending, however, feels tacked-on. I know it's the same ending as the SoS (?) performance, but in this recording it feels off, the way it transitions to the ending.
  
  DISC 2: I finally get to listen to the 3DS soundtrack!
• What's with that percussion sound effect in Classic Casino Night (the one with a slight *ping* to it, starts the piece off and continues throughout on the upbeat)? Threw me off entirely. Forget that, what's with the entire song's percussion?
• There's a lot happening in Emerald Coast Classic.
• IF THEY REALLY LOVED THE FANS THEN "VENGEANCE IS MEIN" WOULD BE PROPERLY MISSPELLED BAWF
  Also, the Classic version is the way to go.
• Contrary to many an opinion, I loved Back 2 Back from Sonic Rush, and it's still good. Also, Water Palace Modern now with less shitbird!
• Tropical Resort Modern. Love that lead synth, it fits perfectly in my opinion.
• I guess the new Supporting Me ain't bad. Didn't harbor too much nostalgia for the original, but it's a good track.
• Egg Emperor was, and still is, the king of Eggmechs for me. + - Even if Eggman technically never piloted it.   His hardcore theme has done the impossible: become even more hardcore.
• Headphones for the Special Stage remix, people.
• I really despise what they did with the 3DS credits theme. They spliced the tracks together, without any shortening at all. Don't make the theme longer, make the credits shorter!
• The Super Sonic Racing remix sounds so lonely without the samples, dunnit?
• Mission 3 (combo of S3 Balloon Park and SH Quick Race) ends with Quick Race's OST ending as well. They really knew what they were doing.
• Not to blow my own horn when people have already done it for me, but I so called Mission 3. Anyway, the rhythm always throws me off, but I really don't care anyway because I love the song.
  
  DISC 3: Mostly just bosses, rivals, and cutscenes.
• Stardust Speedway JP doesn't have the muted intro? But that was the awesome part!
• Circuit Freq makes up for Radical Highway Modern with an awesome For True Story remix.
• Still don't like the Open Your Heart remix.
• The resounding conclusion this thread seems to have is "Richard Jacques for great victory", and I concede with the Egg Dragoon track.
• ALL THE HUB THEMES, ALL IN ONE PLACE, YOSH
• Aaaaand everything else is miscellaneous nostalgia filler

Overall, the nostalgia puts this soundtrack through the roof, with scarce misses. 9/10

also, PROTIP: I know fully well how to spell "vengeance", and it was a joke dammit.

 

I downloaded the soundtrack, put it on my Zune, and listened to the whole thing at work this afternoon... and it's glorious. Simply GLORIOUS. ;_; Really makes me want to play the game. My favorite track at the moment is the "next-gen" remix of Casino Night Zone.

Also, this soundtrack did something I never thought was possible: it made Super Sonic Racing NOT lame. O_O

 

Top comments of this video will answer the latter part of your question.

You want from "Listen" to "makes" for the original version, but only up to "mostly" for the Generations version.

Goin' Down



Looking at the scans, I find it hilarious that not only is Jun blind to his own S3&K tracks composition-wise, but that the drowning jingle's (here as "Timer") composer is also shafted to SEGA, even though the Sonic Colors soundtrack release already confirmed it as being Yukifimi Makino's.

That being said, there are a few choice credits that should be looked at for Sonic 3 investigation:

-City Escape Act 1 - The "Composed by" credit is simply Jun Senoue. While it stands to reason that the Endless Mine sample can be struck out for being just a sample, the fact that Seaside Hill Act 2 has separate composition credits ["Composed by Jun Senoue (Seaside Hill), Naofumi Hataya (Ocean Palace)"] suggests that they could have gone through the trouble to credit City Escape and Endless Mine separately (to Jun and SEGA, respectively), but didn't. I think this is worth holding onto, especially when you see the next one.

-Challenge / Mission 4 - Even with the removal of Quick Race (from "Challenge / Mission 2"), the track's composition credit remains exactly the same: Composed by Jun Senoue & SEGA. It should also be noted that Mission 2's composition credit also didn't receive the same treatment as Seaside Hill Act 2, even though both tracks are very much there to the point of complementing each other. Even though all Sonic 3&K tracks (and non-Nakamura Sonic 1&2 tracks and seemingly all Chaotix tracks) are being shafted to SEGA, Jun Senoue is technically credited here for Balloon Park: you heard it here first, people.

 

I'm sorry...and I am in no way trying to troll....but am I the only one who thinks those remixed songs suck dick?

 

The soundtrack is lovely. The shortened title screen made me jizz. Thanks!

 

What? All of them? So, like, the entire soundtrack then, minus the very small amount of original compositions?

Yeah. You are the only one.

 

As in every single song, yeah your the only one. everyone here at least likes 1-3 of the tracks in generations.
