That's THE theme for Sonic CD, IMO, and is my favourite vocal song in the series. US Soundtrack: The US Soundtrack hasn't been neglected, all of the extended parts added to the 2011 release originally taken from the Sonic the Hedgehog Boom album (1994) are here and in higher quality - taken from a FLAC rip of the album. I also LOVE the kickass guitar playing in stages like Collision Chaos, Quartz Quadrant Bad Future, and Metallic Madness.Īnd Sonic Boom(both versions)>You Can Do Anything, Cosmic Eternity, and those terrible Crush 40 Pop-punk songs in modern games, IMO. I've played through it with the JP OST a few times, and I like it, but it just doesn't truly feel like Sonic CD to me without the US OST, which might sound odd as the JP OST is the original, but it is what is, I guess. this was a nice unexpected twist from the kind of rock music we usually got in sonic games. Of course, the first version of the game I ever had was the US OST, so nostalgia may play a part, too. that's cool but Sonic Unleashed always wins. The lyrics were similar in the two versions, but had different instrumentation. It has been compared to TV cartoon theme songs with its upbeat and catchy nature the comparison is well. 'Sonic Boom - Opening Theme' naturally opens the album and is the game's theme song. There are two versions of the song: an upbeat, fast version that plays during the intro, and a slower version that plays at the ending. This album is however the only elaborate representation of Sonic CD music as a standalone product the Japanese soundtrack was never officially released. It's slower paced in terms of level design, and the US OST accounts for that and the fact that the environments are far more alien-like and psychedelic than most games in the series, which makes sense since it literally takes place on a completely different planet than most Sonic games. ' Sonic Boom ' is the main theme song for the US version of Sonic the Hedgehog CD. The fact is that the US OST is just so breathtakingly ambient and beautiful that it reminds me of DKC music, and while most people may argue that it isn't fast enough to fit your typical Sonic game, well, Sonic CD isn't a typical Sonic game. The JP music actually does sound like higher quality traditional Sonic music, which may be why most people prefer it. I personally prefer the original soundtrack simply because it's funky as fuck - that's my favorite take on Sonic music and what I wish the franchise went for more often. It's my favourite Sonic soundtrack and one of my favourite gaming OSTs of all time. So, in other words, I find the Sonic CD US OST very underrated, and wish people would appreciate it's greatness more. It features nineteen extended versions of Sonic the Hedgehog CD tracks and four Sonic Spinball arrangements. sounds like a rave at a club or something. Sonic the Hedgehog Boom is a compilation album given away with the pre-order of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 at Toys R Us. The US version fits the atmosphere of an ancient flooded temple, now derelict, home to no organic life, and neglected by time itself. The JP version sounds jazzy and bombastic, which fits a live performance of a big band, but it doesn't fit the atmosphere of Sonic speeding past the nightime sky the US fits the beauty and wonder of the sky.Īnd look at Tidal Tempest Bad Future. Look at Stardust Speedway Present, for example. And you can't forget those slick sounding guitar licks toward the end of the track. The music was singled out as making Sonic CD stand above the crowd. There are two versions of the song: an upbeat, fast version that plays during. The US version, on the other hand, sounds imposing, foreboding, and fits the theme of a ''final''zone perfectly. Sonic the Hedgehog CD is a 1993 platform game developed by Sega for the Sega CD. Sonic Boom is the main theme song for the US version of Sonic the Hedgehog CD. It would fit better in Quartz Quadrant, as it sounds like a busy mine, IMO. But it doesn't sound like a final stage to me it doesn't sound intimidating, climatic, or''final'' enough. The JP version is good on it's own very frantic, fast paced, and fun to listen to. I feel like the US OST fits the stages better, and is more atmospheric.Ĭompare, for example, Metallic Madness Present US and JP. I liked Sonic CD not just for the game itself but also for the music which at the time was pretty advanced, this was the first time I had ever heard actual vocal tracks in a video game. I think I honestly prefer the US OST to the JP one, although I have love for both. Sonic CD was and still is my favorite out of the series, (with Sonic Adventures 1 and 2 in close second). Is it because it's not the original music? Because it's not the kind of music people expect to hear from the series, or another reason? Note: With the Japan and European version of Sonic CD, all the past songs are the same as the US version. Eggman is up to his usual evil tricks and this time he’s kidnapped Sonic’s new friend, Amy Rose! Sonic must battle Metal Sonic, gather up the Chaos Emeralds, and free his friend.
