While we're all waiting for one of you guys to rip the album for Retro, the "It Doesn't Matter" 2014 remix got leaked.




WOW, that was really good. Now I wait patiently for the rips!

EDIT: Quoted the wrong person...

Not quite leaked. I wondered why only one track would "leak" so I tracked the source down:

Oh, right. I forgot about Japan Time.

Wow, absolutely loving that remix. Hell, it would fit right in as a main theme for a modern Sonic game and not sound dated.

Turns out I still had a recording of Josh singing this song several months ago while he was streaming and his audio was going haywire. So obviously I had no choice but to lay it over the new 2014 remix. Sorry, Josh.

Already bought and listened to the whole thing, like the squeeing Adventure fangirl with nostalgia colored glasses I am.Posted Image

Overall, the remastering was pretty good, and seemed to fix the muddiness in some of the original songs; namely, E-102's Theme, My Sweet Passion, Lazy Days, and Throw It All Away.

The Electric Pianos and drums are the real winners in the remasters, in my honest opinion. Unknown from ME, SA1, sounds so gorgeous, and it makes the SA2 one listenable.Posted Image

Also great remix, I wish it was on Amazon already. No iTunes for me, thanks.

Love the remix, but the rest of the album is exactly what I was hoping it wouldn't be... the existing songs that sound identical to the ones I already have, at least on my crappy PC speakers. I was hoping it would be "remastered" more in a sense like the generations version of Emerald Coast was, where it was the exact same song just newer sounding. Oh well.

In music, "remastered" has a very specific meaning, similar to movies. Not remixed, not rearranged, no actual content changes. Only the mastering process itself (and sometimes mixing, the line between the two is a bit blurry) has been redone. You can usually expect a crisper, cleaner sound, some post-processing fixes, maybe a stereo mix if the song was originally in mono, but they wouldn't say "remastered" if it was anywhere near as different as Emerald Coast generations.

Is the remix not part of the two disks? I'm so confused right now.

EDIT: Nope, the bonus is on the CD.

Is it just me, or is Sonic's index finger on his left hand uncomfortably long with the neck of the guitar in hand?

Update on CD, it's currently stuck in fucking customs as I foretold.

UK customs is getting ridiculous now, as if increasing the price of stamps and postage wasn't enough, they'll stop anything coming into this country via EMS and slap a fee on as they lick their lips and rub their grubby hands together.

Fucking Parcelforce.

I meant the It Doesn't Matter remix. I already got the songs off Amazon and listened to them in my post. Posted Image

Thanks for the update, don't stress about it we all know the customs in any country are fucking assholes.
