I'm not hearing it. I mean, yeah, they're kinda similar - but certainly not close enough to suggest copying, or even inspiration. Here's one, though, which could concievably be a case of copying: Child's Song (Chaotix) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWBsHXu-Bm4 Odd March (Billy Hatcher) at around 18 seconds in - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYKMvoLgsKo I'm too lazy to check if any composers are the same between the two games.
Haha, someone needs to mix those two songs with Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', which I think is slightly closer to MCZ2P.
Apparently your laziness has got the best of you because this was found years ago. One guy helped with the music in Chaotix and BH. I'm too lazy to look up who though.
I played Billy Hatcher when it came out, and noticed it the first time I heard the song. I was just recently reminded of it, and didn't see it in this thread, so... Also, I drank 45 coffees and got just enough energy to check the composer at the wiki - it's Mariko Nanba.
This one guy does many remixes of MJ Songs with Sonic songs. Here are a couple: Michael Jackson - Smooth Criminal(Ice Cap Zone remix) Michael Jackson - Thriller(Marble Garden Zone remix) Michael Jackson - Bad (Launch Base Zone remix) Michael Jackson - You Rock My World(Sky Chase Zone remix) Believe me. Some of these are flat out AMAZING.
Sonic 1 (GG): Ending Sonic Unleashed: Savannah Citadel (Day) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxLUO3LMK2I I'm sure it's completely casual, but there is a slighty resemblance in the beginning.
But I never go to Sonic Cult I found about it yesterday for the first time. The only other I knew before was the World Map = Angel Island one.
It shouldn't really be all that surprising, but the riff from the beginning of the SA 2 version of "It Doesn't Matter" seems to be the same one from Sonic 3D Blast (MD)'s <a href="http://info.sonicretro.org/Sonic_3D:_Flickies'_Island_OSV_(Mega_Drive/Genesis)" target="_blank">invincibility</a>.
Wow, I really don't hear this one. And I look and listen for this kind of stuff all the time. No matter how hard I stretched and tried....just couldn't hear anything in your example.
The pitches of each note are similar, but the notes' durations are not. Similar, but almost definitely a coincidence.
Seeing as how Senoue is responsible for both songs it's more because he has a consistent style than anything.
The beginning of the Pet Shop Boy's More Than A Dream reminds me of Cyber Track from Sonic Advance 3. It's subtle - more of a style thing than anything else - and of course the Pet Shop Boys are much better...
Best thread I could find about music, but this menu theme tune from Forza 3 reminds me of Sonic CD a lot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8VvGEihTLA
You know, I once read someone on another that said that Event: The Last Scene from SA2 and Live Life from Black Knight kinda sound the same: Event: The Last Scene Live Life
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UukuHMOSn8I Janet Jackson - Where Are You Now http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T10k_2bdY5g Sonic Heroes Dunno if this was found before.
The first time I heard the main part of the JP/EU theme of Quartz Quadrant Zone, I could swear it sounded similar to the old repeating theme tune to Wheel of Fortune. But it could just be me. Admittedly I am an untrained ear.
Caught this a couple years back doing a DoA midi. Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You Dreams of an Absolution
