Music that reminds you of sonic

Sorry to revive such an old topic, but I just found a copy of Paul Hardcastle's '19' single (which itself sounds somewhat Sonic-like at times) and this was the B-side. It's right out of Knuckles Chaotix, right down to the "Door Into Summer"-style chimes.

Paul Hardcastle - Fly by Night

 

Honestly, I'm glad you revived this topic; I've never heard Paul Hardcastle until now, but after hearing this I started listening to all of his other songs. I gotta say, his music is awesome. I could totally see this guy being a composer for Sonic music (perhaps even Streets of Rage) back in the mid-'90s -- he's kind of a mix between Masato Nakamura and Spencer Nilsen. Pretty neat stuff, if you ask me.

 

I don't know why, but I was listening to this song and started thinking about how this could be what Sonic thinks every time Amy comes around. Love this song, Showbread rocks.

I second this. That song was really cool; so thanks for introducing us to it.

 

On one of the YouTube videos, SonicKAI's Spring Yard Zone BGM I believe, a few users made comments about SYZ's BGM being similar to Every Little Step. I can kinda hear it. You guys can be the judge.

And for the Michael Jackson music. It's been confirmed that he helped with the Sonic 3 Music. We do know that he did the Ending Credits Theme from what I've read. That tune later became Stranger in Moscow. In fact, Carnival Night Zone's BGM is VERY similar to Jam. Even has the "Jam" sound clip. Look it up, it's an interesting read.

 

*bump*

I stumbled across a song over the weekend that immediately (albeit vaguely) reminded me of the plot of Sonic CD. The lyrics even sound like they were written in the same vein as "Cosmic Eternity" (Remember those sorta cheesy lyrics like "believe in yourself" and "keep an open mind" from Cosmic Eternity? This song has lyrics like that). =P

 

Recently I tried my hand at doing a Chaotix-style song. I'm happy with it, except I think it's too short and repetitive.

Metro Midway Zone

Another song on that page, "Banana Royale" might also be of interest-- it could conceivably be Sonic music. Most of the other songs are music from my cartoons, or old high school projects.

 

:D

I would never have guessed that someday, I would see these two bands mentioned on a forum related to video games.



In the background on the song (I know, it doesn't make sense), there's a melody that starts on a low key in the beginning of the song. It reminds me of Tidal Tempest Present (Jp Version) or some other track from Sonic CD. It's not the melody itself but more of the instrument.

 

Oh, so we're gonna have this thread then? Alright.

I know most people won't hear this one, and it's far-fetched at best, but whenever this music comes up in SA2&3, it reminds me of this... it's just the whole "echoing" thing that cause it. I know a million song use this, but still, that's ALWAYS my first reaction to the theme. I was especially puzzled since it sounded familiar at first.

Also, these two. Somehow, the first link seems to jump to the right scene only occasionaly - it's the part starting at 32 seconds (and reappearing later).

 

A lot of the songs in this thread surprise me, but I definitely see connections in just about everything that's been posted. Here's my two cents:

"The Sky is Falling" - Thrice

In case the title doesn't give away the feeling, I imagine this in a Sky Chase Zone for Sonic 2.

"Map of the Problematique" - Muse

I see this playing during a boss battle, maybe in one of the Sonic Adventure games.

"Avenida Revolution" - Chickenfoot

To me this has a very industrial feel to it, so I'm thinking for either a Flying Battery Zone/Death Egg Zone in Sonic 3, or the Metropolis Zone in Sonic 2.

 

Jazzy tracks like this work great in Sonic games. (Which is why I love the Sonic Colors soundtrack so far)

One could also go to Pandora and start a new station w/ Jaco Pastorius, then add Stanley Clarke as a variety.

 

This always reminds me of some sort of Sonic CD music. Like some sort of bad future in a metallic themed level.

 

Seriously sounds like something from the Sonic CD JP/EU soundtrack...

The acid house music craze that was going around when it was released probably inspired it lots.

 

Obvious, I know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NF6Qa84mno

 

The main theme for Gran Turismo 5


Sounds like something we might get in a 'Riders' game X3

 

Seeing as we're coming near to Christmas, this Relient K song really sounds like a Sonic Adventure-type song:

 

This theme sounds like it could have been in Sonic Adventure:



Of course, it helps that Jun Senoue was a composer for this game. =P
