[(xsakux) Sonic Sat Am MIX]

Y'know, Despite Being Currently Non Canonical,,,

This show was really good. It had nice animation and detailed art and an epic Star Warsy settings and fanfare. When I think of it now, it is a great "elseworlds" storyline. Unlike the games, the series was dark. For example, in the game sonic can transform back into animals by bashing the metal exoskeleton and freeing the living battery inside. In Satam, however, that method doesn't work... Doctor Robotnik, the goofy "I hates that hedgehog" personality was transformed into something dark and twisted. Although series was short lived it spawned a comic series that was both light and dark in nature that was pretty darn good for it's first 80 issues... In fact, one thing Sega should do to revive its ailing franchise would be to write the cast of Knothole Village back into main canon. At least the characters are better written than the Chaotix and Big combined. After all, Sally is a better girlfriend for Sonic then that human princess, and if Sonic has to fight a villian that's not Robotnik, make it the evil wizard Ixis Naugus. Hell, it is a much better idea then "ERAZOR GENIE!"
Never going to happen, but worth thinking about. Anyway, your remix did the theme song great justice. Heck, the theme song is so good and catchy, it could pass off as a soundtrack for a sonic game.

[Green Hill Zone - Sonic 1]

Good Enough.

I don't prefer your spin, really, I actually prefer the original. However, your remix is decent enough, and it stays true to the original melody and that is what is most important to me. I just like the way the pseudo instruments genesis sound chip performed the melody compared to the pseudo instruments you chose. However the pseudo instruments you picked have a decent sound to them so it is not all bad. I can also say that your rendition is better then the Sonic Advance 3 rendition, and that is saying a lot.

An Instrumental Rendition Of "Dragostea Din Tei."

Seriously, you do that Romanian pop band O-Zone great justice with your sped up incarnation. Replacing the vocal with a high pitched pseudo guitar, good idea. With no thanks to that lip syncing chubby kid.

lol you just wanted to show your knowledge of the songs real name and its appearances. this isnt a review

[MM9 Concrete Jungle]

How Do I Describe This Incarnation? Well...

This is what would happen if Capcom decided not to revert Megaman to his previous 8-bit rendition.

[Soft Storms]

The Song Of Storms...

Successfully combining elements of classicism and ambient tones, this track is a decent rendition of piece played in the windmill. By the way, that windmill guy sure was creepy wasn't he?

Musica17 responds:

Ok I'm breaking away from my boring 'thank you' message and instead conversing first. . . He was creepy!! Yet I love him anyways, he added a bit of a light-hearted comical touch to the story and gave us the ability to cause my most favorite natural occurance. And now for the thank you. . . Thank you for your review! I thoroughly enjoy those who take the time to jump into the music world to review my pieces, whether they describe genre or critique my style, it's always a big help to see everyone's words.

[His World (Remix)]

Cool Song, But With Awful Memories...

I remember first hearing this melody when the first trailers for Sonic 2006 popped up. I was all like "Yeah, this is totally what Sonic needs, a next generation game full of cinematic scope with a darker, dramatic storyline ala SATam, and an expansive world! This will totally bring the blue blur back on his feet!" Little did I know, that not what I was going to receive... For a game about a really fast hedgehog, it was quite slow thanks to the load times. It was like Sonic Adventure, only Sonic Adventure was more... well... adventurous. The Venice inspired city turned out to be a boring place where nothing was happening. The worst part? Oh... I can not even go there... But I can say the two worst things to happen to the Sonic The Hedgehog series would be 1. a rival hedgehog saying "Damn! Hell! Goddamn Chaos EMERALD!" and Hedgehog on 17 yr old princess funny animal bestiality. But amidst the pain and anguish, the music had always been good, and was what usually let me endure these epic tragedies.

Now the use of raprocking aside, the song "His World" by Zebrahead, is truly a fantastic and musical theme full of drama and sheer epicness, I just wish the game would have given me the same feeling as the song.

[Super Mario Bros. (Punk Remix)]

Well Now...

You have certainly proved that the Super Mario Brothers theme can indeed be translated into ska... And rather well I might add.

By the way, do you think the underwater theme would makr a classical waltz? I do...

giftedbuttwisted responds:

Thanks and yeah I think so

[Batman NES - Stage 1 remix]

NES Batman May Not Have Had The Movie Soundtrack..

...But that did not stop the video game from kicking arse with its own, original soundtrack. The first level is definitely a favorite of mine and I must say you have remixed it decently, and by the way, that was a great pseudo choir you added in there.

[-=/ Suspense! \=-]

Yep...

This ambient effect holds true to its namesake. Almost reminds me of Mass Effect for some reason. So anyway, if any of you guys are flash animators, and you have a serious scene where something subtle is lurking behind the corners, or some kind of imminent threat is posing itself (For ex: bomb under the table next to a tied up hostage, Hero running to save hostage, clues to a murder take drastic turnabout in case upon discovery of new evidence, etc.) then use this track. It will fit perfectly, trust me. The author mentions that this track will be used a Phoenix Wright fan game. Now that you mention it, this does sound similar to the melody that plays whenever you find startling new evidence. I think it is the same melody, only now, it is Mass Effectisized.

remotecube responds:

Actually, it's not really the same melody. I love that you think it was, though, because that means I captured the "essence" (if I can use such a retarded sounding word) of the original's at least a little bit. I definitely agree with you that it would fit into all of those situations.

Thanks alot for the review and compliments!
