Sonic CD: Which soundtrack do you like better?

[Joe Redifer]

Cosmic Fantsy 2 had a credits VI song.  I know the lyrics were pretty bad, but the song itself was nealry tolerable.  I don't know if VI wrote any other songs for the Turbo.

Victor Ireland ruleZ.

With a capital "Z". 

[FM-77]

With three capital Zs.

Victor Ireland is a thief.

Victor Ireland is an elitist otaku dick who makes too many "funny" Americanizations,  but he does pick  some good musicians, and he's generous with pack-ins, so I don't COMPLETELY hate him.

I said he was a thief. He stole my camera, that bastard! With three Zs!!

I'm a fan of Spencer Nilsen -- Ecco CD rocks. However, while I enjoy his Sonic CD soundtrack, I think it was simply not necessary to ask him to compose an entirely new score. The Japanese one perfectly suited the game, and I can only imagine it was changed because of obscure copyright issues.

[Kitsunexus]

Yeah, kinda like what happened with Sonic Spinball (the proto and some early shipped carts have the official 16-bit Sonic theme, however they didn't license the song from Dreams Come True, so it was replaced).

I didn't have a problem with Sonic CD's music. It sounded extra CD like and was a good way to stress the difference from a cart game.

When I finally got the Mega-CD version, I was disappointed because the soundtrack didn't seem so special and I was expecting more Sonic sounding music.

I think that most people who have a problem with it are influenced by the perception forced down our throats by game mags for years that we got cheated somehow. Like how some people feel that any kind of localization other than a boringly accurate script translation is sacrilege.

[Kitsunexus]

I heard the Japanese soundtrack first (via the screensaver on the Sonic 3 and Knuckles PC CD-ROM), so that's what I like better, I think it's mostly what we get used to.

Seldane, how/why did Victor Ireland steal your camera?  I demand you tell us the story... OR ELSE!
