GregHead Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 Definately one of my favourite remixes on this site. The original song had plenty to work with and S|r Nuts pulls it all off really well (IMO). I don't have any grudges at all against any part of this song and it doesn't get repetitive which is usually the biggest issue in any song. I hope I can hear more from this guy. There's a real split in opinions here: you either love this song or you don't, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pr0teus Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 I think it's a great mix... always loved Sonic the Hedgehog (esp. #3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dekerd Posted July 19, 2003 Share Posted July 19, 2003 I don't know how people can say that it is the worst remix on Overclocked, that's a bit harsh. What about Vegita's Mega Man "remixes?" Overall, I liked it, although it is very repetitve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Marco Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Geez, I'm glad I listened to this before I looked at the comments. So much negativity! And yet, this is on the top of my playlist, as it has been for a while now. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomasu666 Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 i really really really really love this mix! this is by far, the best theme in Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and as a ReMix.... amazing, good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeTc123 RType Posted May 9, 2004 Share Posted May 9, 2004 Hi I must Be honnest, ive heard a lot or remixes on this site and i think this is in my top 5. The dynamics and adventure this remix offers are unique. The drums and the base are "Solid", I love the pan effects and the melody is enhanced from the original but still obvious where the song was originated from. Not Bad for 6 hours work. 10/ 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-RK- Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 It's songs like this that only come around once in awhile. They may not be the most technically astounding (To me it is:), but the help remixers just starting out to see what one day could be. And the fact that all this was done in a week, when it takes me five times that amount just to figure out what I want to do with the melody. The effects and chopping are truly impressive, and the overall feel of this song compared to the original is very different (which in my opinion, is what a remix is supposed to do). What can I say, 10/10. Very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Souly Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 This really brings me back. Makes me remember whatchting my big brother playing the sonic games, it was wonerfull just whatching. (I still can't beat metropolis zone, it's sad, really xD) It sticks to the original game's beat and general idea- but it makes it so much better. The 'uh!'s are a little cheesey, but only when you only listen to them. They really add to the mix when you listen to the mix a whole, not parts. I think they make the mix sound better, but that is just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abortretryignore Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Weeeeeeeee! this is fun! I've got this on my mp3 player at the moment (i'm in college and they don't let you download stuff) There's so much energy in this, its unbelievable! the bit at 1:00 where it jumps between headphones is great! makes me turn my head to follow the music without thinking! great mix, definitly a keeper!

28 Percent Will Do Fine Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 OMG This is one of the best mixes EVER! This mix is the reason i got into OCR. I actually found this track by mistake. I was looking on Media Guide (I know, what was i thinking?) for "Sonic the hedgehog" as a joke (soz) and found this. Best Mix Ever. Thank you S|r NutS, you got me into OCRemixing. Oh, and any day now, I'll be submitting my first Mix: I won't tell you what it is, coz you'll nick the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heyjohnny Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 I like the starting of this song alot, and I think that the name of it fits the song very well. very good, and very original. Good Job S|r Nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watkinzez Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Remember listening to this one back when it came out. Ultimately, I'd say it's a keeper. Excellent arrangement, good use of preset sounds. Why we love Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grawr Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 This song is fantastic. I'm not sure how anyone can get annoyed by these sounds and then like half the overdone ReMix's out there; these sound great... the song honestly reminds me of the first time I saw a city at night as a kid. Flashing lights everywhere, cars shooting by, trucks veering down the road, and so much... stuff. This mix captures that overwhelming feeling while sounding sort of "clean"... the high-pitched sounds remind me less of a heavy underground and more of the shiny richness of a big city. Although the "UH!" noises sound out of place : /. Overall, the deliberate low beats and the perky, "look at that! And that!" mental camera panning of the high noises rocks and just feels like a Metropolis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmiduke Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Definately sounds like someone went crazy with presets, but crazy in a good way. All the audio twists and tweaks give the sounds, and the melody itself, tremendous life. I really don't have a problem with the sample quality; I think this would be an entirely different mix if the samples were of the highest quality, which isn't exactly to say it would be better off. I also liked the various panning ideas, although I couldn't help but catch a slew of timing errors. But they are only noticeable to me when I want to notice them. Great use of energetic arrangement; something we don't see quite enough of here. This mix can be accused of lot of things, but failing to supply fun, energy and nostalgia is not one of them. I always have a great time listening to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Some fun and bouncy synth-pop work here, with a nicely developing beat, and some uber filtered leads. Cool bassline, and for being an older track, it clicks pretty well. The breakdown with the panning synth that stutters all over pretty much makes this mix. Very cool stuff.

Skinner3D Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Knowing the very little about music genres that I do, I want to call this a funky trip hop piece. Regardless of what style it is, I really like it. Its upbeat and the pauses in the music make it seem faster for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
