I'm now dubbing this ost, the US version. A unique twist on the original that I feel really reminds me of sonic cds ost.

[@inkywright]

This is the catchiest desert theme I've ever heard, particularly the Lion King instruments at the start.

[@SparkyMK3]

Am I alone in thinking this is better than the actual Sandopolis theme? I'm getting a lot of David Wise vibes from this track.

[@rgtx1882]

No, I think the same

[@jaywarudo]

every single remix or alternate of a song this guy makes is always better then the original

[@theballsgamezing]

​​@@jaywarudo not every single one, don't discourage the original ost, but all these alternate songs are definitely total flames

[@dobrakawanimat]

by law i must mention the lost vikings sample

[@PullOffYouSkin]

Of course!

Hi dobra

HOLLY MOLLY THIS HITS HARD 🔥🔥🏆

[@DeenHoward]

It's always a good day when new stuff drops from John Tay.

[@supper_e1823]

It’s a more low key song if that makes sense. Not as bombastic as some other projects, but still very funky and fitting of it’s desert theme. Overall, a unique bop

[@johntayjinf]

yeah this isn't really supposed to blow up in your face
my idea was that i start the track off as "generic desert theme that will be boring as hell to hear in-game" and then try to subvert expectations with the bridge before the main attraction

@@johntayjinfNah, the bassline is very unique compared to normal desert themes

[@marcxworld5708]

Sand stages in sonic are always amazing for some reason

[@codiecola3636]

This music almost makes Sandopolis a bearable level to play.

[@dewforpolitics]

This is the music they play at the wedding of Oil Ocean and Sandopolis zone.

[@fireyocean8129]

Now that's a good way to start the day!

[@TastySnax12]

Mmmm, what a bop! And I've got sand in my shoes!

[@AaronGeo]

0:26 Super Mario Land reference?

[@bobross38]

John made me like desert levels now! Great job man 🎉

[@malachigv]

Pretty good song. The programmed instruments are stellar, I really like that emulation of a choir. If I actually end up making a Megadrive game, no doubt you'd be one of my first picks for some tracks

[@WickerBasket9]

Alternate Zone name for this: Arid Sands Zone - Act 1.
Also, this slaps!

[@sol2457]

Perilous Dunes Zone Act 1

[@Jayromi2]

An absolutely groovy desert track I love it

[@dscompose3004]

What an awesome catchy desert themed song! Your friend's indie game would've had banger soundtracks if it had worked out

[@mrkingj2104]

Если бы Пескополис был в Египте (а на это намекает многое. И даже в каком-то смысле "Соник в Кино").
Звучит даже немного арабская-индийская нотка✨!
Пескополиса ночь!..
Бескрайний простор!

[@Krimskiy_Youtube]

Хах, не знал что музыку Джона слушают русские люди. Я думал я один такой

[@StudioS_28]

Я тоже в их числе

[@Karnage233]

omgg! I love the Lion King samples

[@Producer_Alexandros]

Actually this fits very well

Dang! Those drums are awesome!

i see John's upgraded to Furnace

I can really imagine this one playing in the zone itself, great work!

This sounds so good

[@maxesreal]

I want to listen to this during gameplay. This so fuckin bouncy and catchy

[@FelixDaCreature]

I'm in love with this.

[@gamingvibes5309]

Let’s go another banger

[@maximumcrystal3562]

this sounds super cool! hopefully you get around to making act 2 remixes

[@EthanAndTails]

These Lost Vikings shouts tho, nice

[@ashkirby8896]

Nice Furnace remix of the song!😄🤩😎👌

[@CharlieGapperson]

I like the bongo drums in the begging.

[@MediaRavenEditor2024]

Wow but those are instruments from other games! Link can be found in project 2612 if I wanna get those!

[@Supsen_cool_Fox]

I think I found here a meme with climbing uphill that rolls down

[@vletjeglr]

im imagining sonic swinging on the ropes to the beat of this song, this shit goes

[@kennyaustin429]

Groovy!

[@N0rlight]

I just can't wait to be kii-- oh wait wrong song.

[@supersayianpeter10]

This slaps hard

[@elijahpostdc]

See the reason I think your alternates work so well is you know the bass has to be willin.

[@its_4life]

sounds far better than the original! awesome job!

[@MediaRavenEditor2024]

Nice OPN2 tune! 😎😁😎

No.

Bro what

[@Samwow]

I love this

[@mattypoko]

This literally sounds like a pumped-up cover of the Super Mario Land undeground theme.

[@JonathanBoomz]

I knew it sounded familiar and then you said it was inspired by the lost vikings. Bingo!

[@PreStalnic]

The Plague Doctor swaggers to this tune. Damn son, stop flexing! :O

[@retro3188]

Very cool!

[@chriscreeper85]

Very bouncy

[@redviolet8235]

I like Sandopolis,
I played Sonic 3 AIR so that might have made changes that I don't know about but I had fun with both acts.

he is an best alternate fan of sonic 3

how did you make that crunchy bass sound? I want to use something like that

[@BillimanMCjon]

Fm synthesis

[@eltiolavara9]

spelunky HD vibes, really good

[@mandrews817]

Reminds me of a mix of Donkey Kong Country and Mario, not quite Sonic. Especially the intro reminds of Donkey Kong Country.

[@cubedtothex]

Funky AF!

[@whact]

that sounds like the mario land desert level

[@whact]

like, a lot actually

[@TehRealSalt]

HUAH

[@Xenobork]

Need to mod these into Sonic 3 AIR

[@rgtx1882]

Does one already exist?

[@Fabchaotix]

we recognize the percussions of Lion King

[@preston_gaming6203]

I hope that if you make all of the sonic 3 alternate songs and all the s&k alternate songs they will be ported to 3air and origins
