Non-Sonic music from Sonic composers that sounds like Sonic music

I don't know if this track is Hataya but those drums give me his vibes

 

*insert every (non-Sonic) Jun Senoue compositions here*

 

Seriously, he only has one style. Really good at writing songs and playing the guitar but truth be told he's not THAT remarkable.

 

As much as I love the guy, you are right. At least, he hasn't shown us much range.

 

Yuzo Koshiro's arrangements for Batman Returns sound straight off Sonic 1 (SMS/GG).

 

I want to say basically any track from NiGHTS into dreams but I can't really think of any specific Sonic track that sounds even remotely like this

but then you also have tracks like this which would sound right at home in Sonic CD

I think "Sonic music" is a bit too vague because Sonic music is a lot of different genres and styles.

anyways Naofumi Hataya, Fumie Kumatani, Masafumi Ogata and Tomoko Sasaki are goated composers. Huge inspirations for me.

 

The entire Hybrid Front soundtrack sounds like it could've come from a Sonic game. No wonder so many ROM hacks port music from it.

 

Lol, I was kinda maikng a compliment actually. I think his style is very destinct and recognizable.

But yeah, non-Sonic songs from Sonic composers that sounds like Sonic music:

This sounds VERY Sonic Adventure 1-esque, which makes sense because Kenichi Tokoi was composer for both!

I dunno man, it doesn't sound that much like Sonic to me:

 

I think we have a different topic for "this piece of non-sonic music sounds like it could be from Sonic"

On the actual topic, I've always adored Major Magnet ost by none other than Tee Lopez

 

In the vein of "just another SEGA soundtrack by the same composer", I would guess Metropolis Street Racer's whole deal with being the spiritual successor to the Sonic R soundtrack vocal tracks and all counts.

Dragon Gave A Loud Scream kinda seems like something that would have fit nicely for a night boss fight in Unleashed had it had some smoother synth instruments, but I'm not sure how much sounding like stuff that came way after the fact by someone else (?) counts.

 

yeah I get what you mean but I guess in that case it would probably be 'Sonic music that sounds like it could be NiGHTS music' rather than the other way round lol

 

close your eyes. its christmas 1996. you're playing NiGHTS. life is good

 

Yeah lol

 

I just seen this thread and realised my post on Jan 2nd in the “What song are you listening to now?” topic should have been posted here. So here it is

 

Literally anything from golden axe 3. Both Naofumi Hataya and tatsuyuki maeda went on to work on various sonic titles over the course of time. Honestly I’ve even started jokingly calling golden axe 3 a “sonic team junior” game because of the overlap in staff.


Those two the most sound like they could’ve passed for some weird obscure sonic music if they weren’t in this game. But I also gotta give a shout out to Ride the Whirlwind. Doesn’t sound Sonic but it’s just a baller song.

 

what the heckin heck we have the same favs

 

I's funny cuz I've seen Acient Mound being used in so many Sonic ROM hacks at the time.

 

As I already mentioned in another thread, "The King of Speed" (composed by Takenobu Mitsuyoshi) from Daytona USA's soundtrack sounds like a mishmash between the music from Sonic CD and Sonic Advance. Take a listen:


0:43 (beat) and 0:50 (synth strings)

Quartz Quadrant "B" Mix (1:06):


Ocean Base (Act 1) (intro):


Both Sonic CD and Sonic Advance 3 have awesome music. I love that there's a track that seems to combine the best out of both worlds!

Probably missed the point of this thread, but wanted to share it anyway. =P
