[OCR01544 - Sonic & Knuckles "iMushroom"]

This was one of my favorite remixes on Project Chaos. I like the transition about midway through. Sounded like a possible gateway between Act 1 and Act 2.

Sorry this took so long.....

Knuckleduster lyrics -

I've gotta know

Who takes a life for free?

Some kind of man,

I know would tell her openly

I know your eyes expand

I won't lead you by the hand

I'll ask again,

Please, is there anybody free?

A foreign land

Why won't they speak to me?

I know your eyes expand

We can't lead you by the hand

Know you're a knuckleduster

And you're caught in a relapse now

With eyes half open and a trail of head crumbs,

Tell me again where you are from.

*scat*

Hope that helps people who have been mouthing nondescript sounds.

btw, i welcome criticism gladly, although some of it in this thread was blatantly ego-boosting trash talk. However, there's a reason they didn't like it, and I use that as additional perspective to analyze my own work and improve it. If people don't like my singing, hell - most of the time I'd agree with them. I finished this track about 6 months ago, and gained some perspective from not hearing it for so long. I know where they are coming from, but the goal of this song is the same goal I have with a lot of songs - to try something new. Some things worked out well, some things not so well. Just like Invertebrate Retreat - a song about a worm - try to write lyrics at least partially pertaining to the subject of a 16-bit sidescroller. It's tough! But again, I wouldn't do it if it wasn't fun.

I showed an early version of this track to Jared Hudson, and he said it sounded like Milli Vanilli. That's EXACTLY the kind of response I was looking for. I laid the cheese on extra thick for this one. This is by no means the type of music I would listen to, but damn - it was fun to make! I'm glad there are some people out there who appreciate my efforts .

Thanks for the comments, guys - and expect some more tracks soon. Maybe this time it won't be from a site project

Here's the lyrics.

[Sonic 2 - Planet Oil]

This is the first time I have heard this remix, it's great just like the SonikElektronik remix. Awesome work!!!!!!!

[OCR00665 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Dub Island (Bashment Riddim Edit)"]

This is a great remix of Zone 1-2. The only thing I thought that was missing was the proper tempo of the music. It could've been a bit faster to match the tempo of the original track. I know there were some comments about the way this ended, but I really liked the ending myself. The sax and trumpets were exceptional also.

[OCR01526 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Knuckleduster"]

I always thought Zone 3 was one of the easier stages on S3K myself, although the boss at the end is tricky. There are several extra lives and tons of rings. Back to the remix, I found that the BGM to Zone 3-1 was a very versitile theme and it has been made into a techno remix(SonikElektronik), an elevaor remix (Pure Black, or Marbles and Cream) then this one. As far as the association to the original track to Zone 3-1, I only had to hear the first second to know exactly what BGM it came from. As a matter of fact, I could've told right off the bat if it was either Act 1 or Act 2. Speaking of which, I don't know if it's been done or may be done in the future, but I wonder if someone will do a remix for Zone 3-2, because the ones I have heard so far are all Act 1. It probally wouldn't be that much diffeent since the songs are rather close in melody.

[OCRA-0008 - Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Project Chaos]

I am at awe. This is way better than I expected. I was quite impressed with the Sonic 2 Hedgehog Heaven project, but this has left me speachless.

[OCR01010 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Hot Ice"]

I was thinking when I first heard this arrangement that there were parts of Lava Reef there and that was the case. I have S3K CD for my computer along with the original. The music is different for Carnival Night, IceCap and Launchbase, but the same for all the other zones. I'm surprised that there are no remixes of those songs. Back to this remix, it's right up there among my favorites.

[OCR01181 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Sonik Elektronik"]

OH NO!!!, the link to this arrangement is broken. I hope a new one can be posted. This was a great piece of work.

The link was changed, and it works. You just haven't updated whatever link you're using.

Thanks, I got the new link, it works now.

[OCR01181 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Sonik Elektronik"]

OH NO!!!, the link to this arrangement is broken. I hope a new one can be posted. This was a great piece of work.

[OCR01527 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Walk on Water"]

Got to love this track. Not only is it one of the very few in this project that consistantly stays somewhere near recognisable throughout, it is about the only one that has both the Act 1 and Act 2 themes.

Excellent!

I was thinking the exact same thing. Really love how the leisurely pace of Act 1 and quick tempo pace Act 2 are put together here.

[OCR01526 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Knuckleduster"]

Hey guys, long time listener and first time poster here. I have to say this is the best remix of Marble Garden (Act 1) I have ever heard. Thirteen years ago when the Sonic3 first came out, the music to this level really stuck with me. This remix brought it all back. Great Job Dan!!!!!
