    Honestly the only fitting songs from the U.S. soundtrack are Palmtree Panic and Quartz quadrant. The rest is trash and was an obvious rush job. JP erosion is the complete and real version. Thank goodness it was finally fixed as I was posses with my version of the Gems Collection.

    How can you not like all US Stardust Speedway music as equally as the JP one!?

    Also the US Special stage music is better than the JP one.


    Stardust Speedway US version especially sucks compared to the U.S. Version. I still can't tell the Good and Bad Futures apart. Cash Cash did give it life though.

    Even to this day I can't stand Acts that don't share a general melodic theme. Jun's work was piecemeal in Sonic 4. In Sonic CD (US) it was just a miss-mashed soup. The JP tracks were 100% cohesive in levels. The only other series to do this was Sonic Advance 1,2, 3, and the first Sonic Rush. Sonic and the Deadly Six came close.

    I'm probably just a music snob and believe all music has its place, but composition ideas should not mingle with radically different ideas. I'm all about variations on the same idea. How can we have multiple examples of 4 variations on a single theme in Sonic CD and Sonic Advance and then have Jun turn around and make 6 unique themes for Splash Hill and Sylvania Castle??? Pick an idea and stick with it and use the rest for other things!

    I'm more impressed that in all of this, you failed to mention Sonic 3.



    I was actually meaning post Genesis/Mega Drive era. I skipped Sonic 3 naturally because it was the first to do this and no it (almost) well.

    Those "muted" channels only refer to Carnival Night (which I swear that Act 2 has a slightly different bass line for like a second), Ice Cap, and Launch Base. Who ever composed that garbage was obviously not with it. Three zone fell out of sync with the rest of the game. Different drums, different voices.....like it was a different game. Especially when taking the S&K levels into account. Like, you are seriously going to sample JAM and get away with it???

    LOst, I am not intending to derail the thread, but I've been waiting years for your theory on the music, what is it already?
