Sonic CD: Which soundtrack do you like better?

[Kitsunexus]

OK, so we pretty much all know that Sonic CD for the SEGA CD got a different soundtrack when it was released over here. If you need to know more, here's the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonic_CD

Now then here's some examples of the differences in the soundtracks. These are my favorite songs, and ones that I think show the most difference, in my opinion. So don't get mad if your favorite wasn't chosen.

INTROS:
USA - http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/7218/1
Japan - http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/1672/32

TIDAL TEMPEST - PRESENT:
USA - http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/7218/9
Japan - http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/1672/8

COLLISION CHAOS - PRESENT:
USA - http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/7218/6
Japan - http://gh.ffshrine.org/song/1672/5

If you still need to decide more, here are the complete soundtracks:
USA - http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/7218
Japan - http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/1672


For the record, I think that the Japanese soundtrack has catchier melodies than the sparse, generic US version. But it's not about what I think. What do YOU think!?

[Bonknuts]

I voted US because the opening intro song kicks much more ass than the JP version

[Kitsunexus]

Could you say that about the ENTIRE soundtrack? Or just one song?

[Turbo D]

I would say the entire soundtrack.

[FM-77]

I don't like either. They should've gone in the same vein as Sonic 2 - the best soundtrack in the world.

[Digi.k]

hmmm I'm quite partial to Sonic 3D: flickies island on the Saturn sound track.. but nothing beats the cheese-fest joyous beats and vocals of Sonic R!!!

oh btw I like the USA version of the Sonic CD

[Bonknuts]

Could you say that about the ENTIRE soundtrack? Or just one song?

 Meh~ the intro sound track nullifies the comparison between the other tracks. "Sonic Boom - Sonic Boom..."

[TR0N]

USA i never did under stood why gamefan made a big deal, about the jpn one 

[Necromancer]

Neither one is really all that much better than the other, just different.  Either way, I'm glad that the TG-16 lacked Blast Processing and didn't inundate us with lame ass lyrics (very often, anyway).

[Joe Redifer]

Blast Processing wasn't responsible for the lyrics.  Instead both it and the high mega power were responsible for the high-octane super-speed next-generation gameplay that the Genesis offered.

Any game starring Victor Ireland usually had a horribly sung song with awful lyrics, and I think that extended over into the TurboGrafx.

The Japanese soundtrack KILLS the US PoS.

[Necromancer]

Thank you Joe, I stand corrected.

INTROS:
US = Japan (both rather cheesy )

TIDAL TEMPEST
USA < Japan

COLLISION CHAOS
USA > Japan

[Black Tiger]

Actually, I think that the TG-16 narrowly escaped VI lyrics (Cosmic 3 has a title song), but it did get stuck with a VI'esque poem in DEII performed by the master himself.

Victor Ireland rulez.
