Hy Bound Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I'm usually not too into purely rock songs like this, but damn if this is not the best 80s-ish rock song I've heard in a damn long time, if ever. It might help that I have a major soft-spot for the source(s), but this is just awesome. Great, GREAT interpretation of the source in such a way as to convert someone not real into the genre. Sixto and Darkesword are quite a dynamic duo. BTW, absolutely amazing production as per the usual Sixto sound . Quote
Scaredsim Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Good track, but too much composition for me. Sixto's usual awesomeness' yeahhhhhh. Quote
Tensei Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Classic Sixto with Shariq-infused melodic interpretation? I'll take it! Incredibly emotive lead-playing, wonderful arrangement and near-professional production. Only criticism I have is that the (brickwall) limiting might have been a bit too harsh, song feels a bit grungy in that department (if you listen to the cymbals and snare during the busier parts), but that's really nitpicking.

SwordBreaker Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Basically, what Darke and Sixto did was take the original songs and implement the 80s-style rock of the 3D Sonic series. Brilliant work with the arrangement there! The vibe I got from this track is exactly like when I first listened to the Angel Island Zone Brawl remix. Only thing that's missing is some vocals. Quote
Top Gun Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 Hell. Yes. SO much win here. I'm air-guitaring like crazy. Awesome, awesome sound. Quote
Platonist Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 awesome stuff! great arrangement and morphing! but isn't the lead-guitar a tad loud sometimes? .. or am i just tired? ;P great work! Quote
Majin GeoDooD Posted May 13, 2008 Posted May 13, 2008 I loved this when I heard it a couple months back, great remix! Quote
1makes2 Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 i LOVE this song! but does it seem a bit lossy? it sounds really crushed or limited during faster sections and fills. otherwise love the arrangement. keep up good work. Quote
Mygames19 Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 pwn This feels so real... Like I'm going back to the old game but at the same time it's A fresh remake of it. SO GOOD...MUST...SAVE... This one's going on my iPod, and I think it will be there for QUITE some time to come... Now do Sonic 2. Quote
Mirby Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 This track has seriously earned EPIC UBER-PWNAGE status. Everything flows together flawlessly. If the trend of absolutely rockin' remixes keeps up, 2008 is looking to be a mighty fine year. Quote
Kulaman Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Needs more cowbell! Seriously though, this is full of so much WIN, words fail me.... Quote
cloudkitt Posted May 14, 2008 Posted May 14, 2008 Wow, just wow. I love Sonic the Hedgehog - both the games and their soundtracks, and this is such a sweet interpretation. I LOVE the subtle movement in to S1's awesome boss theme. Well done, best remix in awhile (and that's saying something, because there haven't been many I didn't like recently.) Quote
The Joker Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 I love me some butt rock, and damn if this song don't rock some butts. I loves it! Totally can envision this being one of the harder songs on a Guitar Hero. Quote
SynthesizedStampede Posted May 15, 2008 Posted May 15, 2008 This song is definitely epic. While I'm going through my second playthrough of the song and have a tough time trying to find where the Green Hill Zone part is exactly, the whole thing is just awesome. The arrangement is really good too, not much to say about this because it's so good, you know something I could probably listen to for hours on end. It sounds like boss music, lol which is a good thing. Quote
DramaNoMore Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 I'm keeping myself from explaining the importance that Sonic the Hedgehog had in my childhood. As for the mix, I always thought that the boss theme had a lot of potencial... It's amasing to finally listen it remixed. And how great it sounds! Quote
Godhand_Soup Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Awesome mix. I thought I was going to hear a bland cover, but I'm glad that I didn't. Now do Sonic 2. PLOX Quote
Dj_Vitality Posted May 18, 2008 Posted May 18, 2008 Why isn't this song on my downloadable songs for ROCKBAND? Quote
purplecowadoom Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 This is pure awesomeness that was packed away in a box somewhere that suddenly exploded in our faces! Unbelievably amazing stuff! You could've easily got this song into Guitar Hero 3, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the next Sonic game, or all of the above! I just have one request: Keep rocking out! Quote
BlueMage Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 That intro ... hurts mine ears somewhat. Uncertain why. The rest however, is rocking. Characteristic Sixto guitars, and paired up with Darke's arrangement it just gets better. Would download again. Even on sub-dialup speed. Quote
Martin Penwald Posted May 28, 2008 Posted May 28, 2008 The beginning doesn't hurt my ears, but it certainly doesn't do anything for me. Which is true for pretty much all of the first half, except for the breakdown from 1:00 on. Where this song really shines is from 1:58 on, when it becomes really fast, and the absolutely insane guitar playing following that (~2:53 is amazing). Also, I like what you did to the source and how you arranged it. Good job. Quote
