Hi All,
Just thought I would drop some feedback on the album. Overall pretty cool, glad someone followed up with a Hedgehog Heaven style album for Sonic 3.
I really loved some of the tracks like 105 Walk on Water (finally a brilliant remix of Hydrocity), 107 Three Ring Nightfall for Carnival Night, and I was paticularly fond of the tracks by Kanjika for Hidden Palace and Sky Sanctuary, I think these two not only hit the mark but flew past it. My personal credo is that a good remix has to be close enough to the original music so you can recognise it, but also remaster it in a new and exciting way. And these tracks really did that brilliantly.
But I gotta admit, I felt a few tracks were a bit lacking, like That Freezing Feeling for IceCap. I know Icecap is a daunting one as it's everyones favourite, but I feel this track didn't capture the umph of the original music, it was too soft and boring.
And one in paticular I hated, and thats 110 Robotnik Radio, I can in no way hear how that track relates in any way to the original Sonic 3 Launch Base Final Boss.... aside from having the spring/star noise in, I wouldn't even suspect it was linked to Sonic in general. Feel it was a poor choice to include that one.
Overall good album, although I would say maybe a second edition could be done and some changes made? I would say that Haydn's Head up for Tails is better than Snapples Malcious Fingers for the Pre-Doomsday Final Boss.
Also, give some consideration to including existing work in the album. Although Snapplemans Dead Batteries is a really good take on Flying Battery, I've always felt the top track ever for Flying Battery is Catapult by Beatdrop, similarly the best Lava Reef track has got to be Lava Reach by JiveMaster.
Thats my two cents anyway.
