Mmmm.. Juicy. I like. Wonderful skittery drum lines and a beautifully
crisp lead instrument gives this track a wonderful atmosphere. McVaffe
continues to kick my ass with no remorse. Cool.

Groovy. While i feel that this piece is more atmospheric than anything else, it still works very well. I love the drums in this piece

Although Sonic Adventure was one of the few songs for the Dreamcast I actually sat down and beat, I dont recognize the theme here, the jungle theme possibly? I dont know for sure. Has subtle breakbeat-like drums in the background that are filtered making it sound very ambient, in fact the whole piece sounds rather ambient. Also very ethinic sounding (atleast to me) probably from the wodwind-like instruments that play. The song shapes as the piano starts taking the melody away in a more situated manor. I liked it alot. Like his Soft Museum Jam mix of NiGHTS, all the instruements sound very natural and "right". Recommended, give it a try, I give it a 9.5/10.

Definitely well done. Most refer to this as being ambient, and it is in a way, but that piano and panflute have a pretty distinct melody. So I would say it is a mix of both. The drums seem to be the only element to ambience. With that said, I definitely like this style. The only way for someone to dislike this song is because they don't like the style used.

I like it, so I'm stickin' to it!

10/10, it never gets old. I can listen to it over and over. Even someone who doesnt care for much of the mixes on this site liked it.

Despite the misspelling, I love this remix. So mystical and beautiful. It really draws you in, but it all seems to go by too quickly. All of McVaffe's work seems to be amazing, however, and this one is no exception.

Simply Tikals theme with an as allready mentioned Raggae and drum beat. Well done, but feels too drawn out. Good but could have been better.

An excellent regae-style remix. It takes the original tune, and makes it even better in my opinion. Its something you can listen to over and over and not get bored with. Well worth the download.

Tikal's theme has always been one of my favorite tracks from Sonic Adventure 1. This remix makes it that much more soothing and it has the feel of standing in front of the shrine of the Master Emerald running through me in my opinion. I give it a 9.2/10.

I love Tikal's theme in Sonic Adventure and I love this remix of Tikal's theme. Very good work. Anyone who has played Sonic Adventure should download this. Hell, even if you haven't played Sonic Adventure.
