![]() It is probably one of the 5 best soundtracks in all of Sonic history.Īnd the boss theme is too good for words. The JP/PAL soundtrack on the other hand is really really good and fits to all of the stages perfectly, especially Tidal Tempest and Collision Chaos are just plain amazing in all 4 time zones. It is as if you would play MM8BDM with the music from Duke Nukem or Doom, it would just feel out of place (but not necessarily sound bad). The US Present/Future versions of everything but Palmtree Panic and Tidal Tempest could have easily fit into a game related to western sci-fi on the PC.īut it is not suited for Sonic CD. However, most of the US music does sound quite good on its own and could probably fit better into a different game considering how it generally feels more like western 90s PC music (and I do like quite a lot of those). The rest of that music isn't all that great, though because the whole past present/futures dissonance really ruins it for me. The US soundtrack had an amazing end of level jingle that should really have been used in the JP version. The final verdict for me is: JP Soundtrack fits the game better in all regards. Because anyone else I talk to thinks the US Present is better.Īnyways that's about sums up my points. I'm also apparently one of the few people in the world who likes Tidal Tempest JP Present infinitely more than the US present. The only thing the US Soundtrack has that I undeniably like more than the JP soundtrack is Sonic Boom. With that being said, the boss music in the US Soundtrack is the most unfitting thing for a classic sonic game. ![]() Sonic is saving the future, not letting it fall to ruin. The US Good Future is just so weak in comparison.ĥ) Contrary to popular belief, Sonic CD isn't actually as dark as the American soundtrack supporters make it out to be. Metallic Madness Good Future JP is absolutely amazing at taking a final level sounding sonic song and turning into bright and cheery Sonic will succeed. Even as a kid when I didn't know the JP soundtrack existed, I loved the past themes more than the rest of the themes. Which of course conflicts with the US soundtrack which doesn't even remotely come close to feeling the same. The US Soundtrack tosses that out for unique music in every time period, which is far weaker.Ĥ) The past themes, due to technical reasons, are still the same ones as the JP version. ![]() The music is a more corrupted form of the present music, and this suits the mood of the game perfectly. The JP soundtrack remixes the same song for each time period, which makes sense because the bad future of Palmtree Panic Act 1 is the bad future of Palmtree Panic Act 1. Not much more to say, but the JP soundtrack was the intended soundtrack.ģ) Sonic is traveling through time in the same stages: This is a huge one. Compare to the US Soundtrack which doesn't really fit in with the other soundtracks.Ģ) It was designed with the game in mind: Sonic CD was made in japan. Nonetheless, I'll share my opinions on the subject.ġ) It suits the mood of the previous games better: CD music comes closer to sounding like the music we are accustomed to in the other classic sonic games, Sonic 1/2/3&knuckles, etc. Oh boy! The amount of times I discussed this with Mr. Main theme: I prefer Sonic Boom over You Can Do Anything or Cosmic Eternity.Īh, this subject. ![]() I like the seriousness and the creepiness. That Bad Future is so awesome.īoss: US version. Stardust Speedway: Call me maverick, but I prefer the US soundtrack completely. The JP soundtrack though is cool all around, and has a REALLY nice Bad Future there. Wacky Workbench: I don't care that much for the US soundtrack in this case, as I still have a hard time recalling which one is the Good Future and which one is the Bad Future. Quartz Quadrant: I prefer the US soundtrack in all three cases. Tidal Tempest: For Present and Good Future, I prefer the US one, but with the JP one I just LOVE the Bad Future. I like them equally.Ĭollision Chaos: I like the fell of the US soundtrack, but I prefer the JP soundtrack due to the catchiness. Palmtree Panic: Both are pretty similar to me. ![]()
