    Looks like they lifted a lot of that off my article erroneously saying that MJ is Scirocco when we know it's otherwise.

    Am I wrong or was there an article which suggested that SEGA had to remove all of MJ's music from Sonic 3 at the last minute due to the scandal revelations?

    His music was changed for the PC version of the game.

    Wow, reading this thread is making me cringe.

    MJ's music WAS removed. The remaining "MJ music" wasn't by MJ himself, it was by his associates, and not ALL the music by his associates was removed, either, assuming Cirocco did Hydrocity like his discography implies. Any implication that any of MJ's music is still left in the game is completely false, however.

    I think that might have been in the 6-page "making of S3&K" article in GamesTM that I transcribed. S2Beta went down about 2 days later and all my work was removed from the internet. :)

    Feel free to repost it if you want, as well. That was an extremely interesting topic.

    Sorry about that - try now. The trick is to use .org, as it points to an older forum backup.

    EDIT: Damn, the link still redirects. I wonder if SS can rip the topic or something...

    Was I right? did they remove ALL his work? I know someone did a video saying there a similarities between some of the Zone Musics E.G. Ice Cap Zone and some of MJs music...

    Apperantly, there's been so much talk about Sonic 3 and Michael Jackson, and there's still much I'd like to know..


    Hypothetically, If it is true that MJ's songs were removed, what were they going to be like (Also, I'm hypothetically implying that the credits/icecap/etc doesn't exsist in this situation, being if ALL of MJ's tracks were infact completley removed)? Would they be original tracks? Previously released album tracks? Would they stay true to the sonic-style music?

    And again, using the key word "Removed", does this mean that somewhere, there is infact a prototype/beta version of Sonic 3 containing the tracks before taken out? Because, If they were removed, then I'm assuming that means they were at one point in the game (and possibly completed, especially if it were removed "At the last minute").

    From what I've seen, his team, but not Jacko himself, composed a chunk o' music.

    It's too bad Howard Drossin doesn't compose Sonic tracks anymore... if I'm correct in saying he did Doomsday Zone, then he'd be responsible for one of my favorite music tracks from the games.

    Saw this thread from the Wiki. I have to chuckle a bit that people thought Scirocco was Michael. Five minutes of research would prove otherwise (including that Scirocco has, in his discography, working with MJ).

    Also, QJimbo owns so hardcore for that video, I still like going back to it now and then.

    Aw you guys make me feel all warm and fuzzy!

    But yes the thing with that documentary is making it and sharing it made people do a lot more research into the area making it a bit outdated now. I still kinda want to redo it but with interviews and proper credible evidence.

    It would be nice to have all the info we got about Sonic 3's music in one place... Although some stuff like the email LOst received might be lost somewhere in the board.

    Yeah, but it doesn't make it clear. The similarities are the way patterns are written. Just listen to FM channel 1 in IceCap and you'll understand where the similarity is...

    You wanna see how close the Staff Roll music was to Stranger in Moscow?
    The two songs have been played together, slightly edited, while showing the "impossible special stage".

    I'll make an appearance to say READ THIS PLEASE FOR GODS SAKE MJ HAS NONE OF HIS WORK IN S3. HE COMPOSED ORIGINAL SONGS THAT WERE SCRAPPED DUE TO THE SCANDLE.

    Gah why can't people get that?
