Just check out the electric guitar sound in this awesome & beautiful track by Kaijin of the 'Sky Chase Zone' from Sonic 2. Sure, the whole ReMix is great, moving, well-orchestrated, yadda-yadda, but I think the guitar's take on the melody is my favorite portion. You've also got kick-ass winds, and similarly a 'light' and floating feel to Kaijin's Xenogears ReMix. His ReMixes, other than providing excellent ammunition for anyone who argues that soundfonts can sound VERY professional, tend to bring out the more dramatic and melodic elements of their original counterparts, with a really epic, sweeping feel. Can't dance to it, unless you're talking couples slow-dance, but it's great drivin' tunage for a breezy summer afternoon. Good thinkin' music, I dig it and you should too ^^

Well, it looks like this is long gone now. :( Does anyone have a
copy of it?
Crulex on 2011-05-24 13:13:13Soft, heavenly, serene.....yeah, this is such a good treat! I just
love how it has the same peaceful style of the original and I could
imagine nodding off to sleep with this playing in the background.
Also, one of the few ReMixes where I think the shorter length is
one of its strengths. Cool.
AcousticStoner on 2009-11-16 23:17:10Sonic 2 bluest sky is just awsome. I did this project lately taking
dataistic pictures so i Used another camera to get film and playing
this song with it works awsome. But of coarse i had to cut it short
so people would try to find the full version here.
Anyone intrested in a visual to go along here. I hope you can enjoy
this even more then you already do.

P.S to the artist Keep up the good work. even your newer stuff is
great. I just have a childhood attachment to sonic music. Yours
sticks out in a good way. Doesnt everyone agree? also i have the
2001 version.
Scaredsim on 2008-05-07 02:04:06Damn... Thats just awesome. Great work. :grin:
OA on 2008-05-07 00:48:28Beautiful! Thanks so much for making a great track even better.
:-)
Im really glad I reviewed this and got some attention here. :-)

OA on 2008-05-06 12:14:03The only 2 things that could be improved on this great mix to make
it more enjoyable would be better lead samples (brass, sax, and
guitar too), and a little less reverb. It seems like a lot, but
really the mix is great, and im sure a lot of Sonic fans have had
this one as a favorite for a long time.
The instrumentation itself is perfectly chosen, and the flow is
super smooth. The short length makes the song very addictive as far
as the repeat button is concerned, and the sunny atmosphere is very
cheerful.
The drum rhythms are fantastic, especially when the little
triangle-style instrument comes in.
Despite some flaws, I totally love this mix.
MechaFone on 2008-04-14 01:53:04Short and sweet. At just two minutes six seconds, this is one of
the songs that really got me into OCR. It was one of my favorite
songs from Sonic 2 (which was my first console after the original
NES) so I grew up a bit on Sonic. A lot of my love of this song is
nostalgia, and the rest is pure, smooth skill, especially in that
guitar solo. This mix will bring back memories for any oldschool
Sonic fan, and for me at least, it does not disappoint.
SillyJayJo on 2006-10-25 05:57:13Smooth reaaaaal smooth, man. I dig whole heartedly. Who needs to be
fast and crazy all the time? Not me and neither does my music
taste. The original wasnt even fast! This is a delightful little
number.
Bummer on 2006-07-17 03:51:59Although this is a slow and mellow remix, it still has enough speed
so that you at least can bob your head along the rhytm. Three great
instruments are in this piece, a saxophone, a piano, and an
electric guitar. The rest of the musical void is being filled out
with strings, drums and other necessary components so that there
arent any gaps anywhere.
The guitar sounds a little strange though, since it sounds like
theyve being played 500 metres away and is now only echoing. Almost
the same thing can be said about the piano too, it feels like they
were put at a long distance so that they wouldnt be able to ruin
the calm feel this remix has.
Still, this arrangement really do soothe your nerves when youre
listening to it. Nice work, Kaijin.

Pip is uh..... on 2005-03-10 23:24:32An excellent flowing peice. It almost makes you feel like your
flying through the sky. Good stuff!
MrNemo on 2004-08-23 03:05:14Very mellow, nice mix. You can tell the remixer is very talented
and has stretched the tools he has to work with to their limits.
Sounds like a career in J-Pop is what he needs! Quality material,
but probably too much for those who cant appreciate a good sequence
job (the cheesines of the song along with the simulated instruments
might rub some the wrong way). Overall, excellent job indeed.
Ken on 2004-04-01 07:35:16Im for one, have to say Im so glad someone made this
remix.
Once in a while when I look up and see sunny blue skys, it bring
back memories of this Sonic 2 song.
It reminds me of the golden days of gaming, childhood, and
forgotten friends, when all was good and life was easy.
People who know me would say I never shed a tear for anything, but
when I hear this song, it brings a tear to my eye. :oops:
Thank you Kaijin.
