Sonic & All-Stars Racing: Transformed

Can your ears even tell?

 

I have Vulcan ears.

 

Wtf they messed up on a LOT of song intros o.o

 

Track List looks great, it even has the opening music from SaSASR. The ending music isn't there though. Is it because they would have had to pay that guy or because it was released as a single already (That happened, right?)?

EDIT: Wait. By "Opening", does it mean the CG intro music from the first game or the menu music? Because the first game only had three original tracks if I recall.

 

Yep, got released as a single.

I've updated the download link because our dear Overlord just can't be assed to make a fake account. />

 

Thank you so much man. Artwork and everything.

Very nice.

 

Can I have a whine that I spent months making this soundtrack happen based on loads of player requests and you've put up a free version of it?

That's really not cool. It's not even been out a month. For shame.

For anyone who doesn't remember: S0L is Steve Lycett, The executive producer of this game.

So uh, yeah, this is awkward. :X

 

At his request, I've removed the links to the soundtrack. Not like you shouldn't give it a purchase anyway since it was a fine OST (though one that could be much better with Takenobu Mitsuyoshi restored in Burning Rangers :v: ) and it's reasonably affordable unlike the typical multi-disc releases.

That said, it'd be less of a problem if it wasn't Japan-only for a physical copy, since not all of us like using iTunes...

 

That's -the- slippery slope where respecting people's IP and effort is concerned. Just because everyone else figures it's ok that way doesn't make it any less wrong as far as one's personal conviction goes.

 

So, this brings up a discussion point I've actually had circling in my head for a while: why don't SoA and SoE offer limited releases of physical copies directly through them? Like, we know both have their own online Sonic stores. When SoA (by way of Jun Senoue) was offering 100 signed copies of the Generations OST for $50, I absolutely went in and the offer basically sold out in about an hour or two.

Again, I go with the not all of us like or even use iTunes argument, but the demand is certainly there from the fans who'd like to own the physical soundtracks without paying to fly them in from Japan or Hong Kong.

I submit for evidence Play-Asia's page for the soundtrack, currently on backorder. It's a lucrative market I'm surprised the Western branches aren't taking advantage of for some easy moneys and traffic to those derelict Sonic shop sites.
