John Tay - [Alternate] Flying Battery Act 1 (YM2612 + SN76489)

- I had the idea and needed to get the idea out my head, and here's what I got with the few days of brainstorming I had.
A few days ago on Twitter, I proposed the idea of a Sonic & Knuckles Alternate soundtrack following my recent whack at (majorly) Leila Wilson [Woofle]'s Sonic 3 Alternate soundtrack. It gave me inspiration to at least make some creative (and somewhat) original works for once in a while. I don't really expect to get too far with this idea, but I intend to write for (almost?) every single original track for S&K. I got ideas here and there, but I did mention in that same Twitter thread that "I most likely would have to collab if I were to let this happen", so expect someone else taking the wheel every now and then for this project.
It actually is one hell of an exercise to try and rewrite history in a way by writing an unofficial alternate soundtrack for half of a game that almost all classic Sonic fans absolutely adore. Doubts would definitely be raised every now and then, but I don't really mind that stress. My idea of an alternate soundtrack specifically for a classic Sonic title would either be to carry the original energy of what the original song had and do something with it, or let my brain run wild with what to do, so occasionally these tracks would be a bit of a surprise to hear. Having the music pair up with the visuals isn't particularly a concern since I'm only really studying the music on its own, but I'll try my best to make that desirable? Yeah.

some pretty oddball guess as to what this is inspired by/ what secrets this song has so i'll just spill it out already
this song has:
metallic madness (small bridge before main melody)
the idea came up when i wasn't sure on how to make a smoother transition from the intro to the main melody;
no i do not understand why people are talking about the sonic ova ost i don't think i've even thought of it one bit since i don't usually listen to it
lynyrd skynyrd - free bird (in the chorus)
i just hummed whatever came to mind and recorded it, and what i came up with for the chorus has free bird in it and it sticked because of the repetition
naruto - ai bomb (bottom half after chorus)
i just love this song a lot for how well crafted it is, but the reason why it's here is because (i don't know if i've been hit with the mandela effect or anything but) i actually heard of a fbz hq rip which had ai bomb as the joke, so i stuck to it
ultimately idk why people like speculating so much, maybe it's because some people wanna call me out for plagiarism or something. maybe others think it's just kinda neat. maybe it's because you're bored as hell. whatever it is i don't deeply care about much of it
lol the Sonic OVA reference people are talking about is in the main melody, being similar to the chorus of the OVA's credits song - *Look-a-Like.* ruclips.net/video/nUENLoRGvvs/видео.html
The naruto one i recognized from a siivagunner rip of ai bomb over flying battery which is funny
i thought free bird was makafushigi adventure for a second
the free bird parts sound really nice
@@segamkiii i also thought that free bird part either reminds me of arid canyon act 1 from srb2 or bad romance by lady gaga (maybe is because that song (bad romance) was in hooded edge's snes remix of fbz1 called "fleet of the gods": ruclips.net/video/4BvgtL0g27Y/видео.html )
After reading your comment, I'm very glad my brain wasn't rotting away hearing the Free Bird Solo riff and that it was indeed Free Bird
Throwing in some hints to the Sonic OVA and Look-A-Like REALLY makes this a high-energy track appropriate for the Flying Battery. Amazing job!
YE!! I thought I was recognizing riffs from the OVA! :D
WRONG
IKR?? It works so well, considering in s3&k it marks the second time sonic has been aboard one of eggman's airships, perhaps it can be interpreted as a callback to wing fortress; "i notice many things that are alike" ;)
Or look alike however it goes. You get my point lol
@@insidelucidreamwhat exactly do you mean by wrong???
This is what remixes should be like, taking the best parts of melodies from every song we've ever heard and playing the heavenly songs in turn.
0:40 free bird jumpscare
0:12 IS THAT A PIZZA MAYHEM IN MY FLYING BATTERY OR AM I GOING INSANE!?
that's a motif from Sonic CD Metallic Madness JP
@@Emolga2225 You right. I am going insane. 😭
Pizza Tower is taking over my brain.
We're destroying flying battery with this one 🔥 seriously though this is fire
Strange. I never heard this one before. I like the nods to "Look-a-Like" from Sonic OVA, "AI Bomb" by Naruto and "Hi-Spec Robo Go!" from Sonic Mania, among others.
EDIT: Just found out Woofle never made alternate tracks outside of Sonic 3, so props to you!
Flying Battery +
(& Free Bird AKA Spinning Rat Meme)
Of course, a free artificial intelligence bird bomb in this song, absolutely greatness
1:33 I'm prolly the first to notice, but this improv part sounds a lot like the trumpets just before the HBH motif in Hi-Spec Robo Go! from Mania's OST. Nice.
GOSH DAYUM-
Dude, I LOVE this SO MUCH!!
Oh hi Nominal, didn't expect to see you here, lol! Yeah, I agree, this song is FIRE!
Finally the *& Knuckles Alternate*
Damn!!! This could TOTALLY be in a legitimate Sonic game! It reminds me of Tee Lopes in sheer quality and polish! I'm SO downloading this!
Please do act 2 dude...
That would be god sent lmfao.
and then he did.
At first I actually thought this was a remix of an existing S3Alternate track (due to Flying Battery's original position and all)...
This is an amazing composition
It's crazy how much this sounds like a Genesis cover of the first Dragon Ball OP. Absolute legend, you!
What's a OP?
@@Seven71987 Opening
Yeah I’m actually starting to notice parts of it sounds like Makafushigi Adventure!
@@colburnrescores6654 I don't hear the OG Dragon Ball intro at all.
OH MY GOD I DO HEAR IT
And as that's my favourite Dragon Ball theme as a whole, this just made me love this track even more
this might be one of your best works, or at the very least one of my favorites of yours. im honestly in love with this song. its so familiar yet so unique at the same time. the flow, the melodies, the overall feel, just makes me wanna get up and dance, or even run. this song makes me feel a sort of way that i cant really put into words how or why this song is so good. love it all the same. looking forward to see whatever you come up with for the next alternate song
I can't get enough of your music, keep up the incredible job! This sounds great
nice Free Bird in the middle
Man, I dunno what else to say but this track is insanely fun to listen to
This fucking bangs. No, seriously. This is exactly the kind of energy I look for in retro-styled game music, and the sonic soundtrack and it's fanworks are so good at delivering that! Phenomenal job!
woah! this is so clean and hearty, and there's so much to it. excellent job! I always love hearing your music
This song is a absolute banger. Excellent work!
I like that little Look-Alike motif if that is a reference to Look-Alike.
This hits so right aaaaa
i hope someday someone manage to do a Sonic 2 Alternate, btw this one is AWESOMEEEEEEEEE I LOVEEE ITTT
zane looking at that:
I do like the idea of a S&K Alternate OST. You did really great with what a Flying Battery alternate would be! Great stuff!
Flying Battery but it's now sonic ova cdish zone.
Great work as always, love it
0:42 is where the beat gets good. Heck this entire alternate theme is good. Still can’t top the original but it’s nice ❤
that's were the fucking riff from free bird starts
Why did it turn into AI bomb partway through lmao?
i'm not sure where i heard it, but there was an fbz rip that had ai bomb as the joke and i was so attached to so i subconsciously put it in i guess
@@johntayjinf ruclips.net/video/RkbPKdjPJmA/видео.html heres the rip its awesome
You most likely got it from this rip: ruclips.net/video/RkbPKdjPJmA/видео.html
@@revolution4122 that’s not siivagunner
Whoops. Forgot to fix the link. It is now.
Talk about a serious bop!
YO!!!! this is increadibly good, i bopped my head so much my neck now has a kink in it. great work.
ayo?
@@SS-ri9ib wdym ayo
it flipin good
+ i spat my appy jucse first lissining
This sounds so Smooth! A great take on FBZ that easily stands on its own too. Well done Tay!
Super cool. Very intense and well-done! “On Saturday, browsing this site, I’ve noticed you made a song that really needs a like!”
i didnt know i needed this
I could honestly see myself vibing so damn hard to this if it was in game
I could buy a whole album of just this-
The beginning of this song is so damn catchy!
Amazing work JT.
This is ngl giving me if you mix the vibe of ice cap and flying battery together
Gaaaaaah this track is just so good it’s crazy
a nod to ai bomb fits perfectly lol
This could easily be a Dragonball theme . Love it
This slaps so hard it hurts
THIS CLEAN ASF WHAT THE HECK 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Probably one of my favourite Alternate S&K tracks. It keeps that Flying Battery feel, while still being undoubtedly its own thing, and the new melodies are really catchy to boot.
CHILLS!! absolutely amazing!!!
Holy cow this sounds amazing!
it does
Incredible as usual.
YOO THIS IS SICK
Alternate Tracks for the Sonic & Knuckles side of things? Yes friggen please
This is nothing but insanely catchy. You kicked one hell of a funky beat into this song and the melody just vibes perfectly with it. All in all, real excellent work here; what a funky and fresh sound. Merely giving this a like is not enough, this gets a love from me. Kid me would have be totally stoked when first joining the Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles carts, getting to FBZ and this to have been the music that I got to experience. I never cared much for the original FBZ music but this? I'm thrilled and excited.
Nah actually this is fire, I’d love to hear more of this 👀
You made a certified banger my dude
damn, all your songs are excellent!!
Sounds great! You always create the best genesis chiptunes.
Ok this goes freaking hard
Flying Battery in the Forces/IDW universe.
smoked it man
love the ai bomb quote so much
Images taken before disaster
Also, excellent music!
the free bird had me cracking up
What an absolute banger!
i love this song so much
clean af my boy
Awoesome composition! It kinda sounds like a Mega Man stage to me but it would fit the Flying Battery.
i hate this zone but the tracks damn you made it even more gold
Sonic, quick, the sky duracell is back and this time it sounds different
dude that's funky as fuck
just stumbled upon your playlist, and *everything* sounds fire
0:38 horizontally spinning rat moment
Absolute musical genius, damn.
BUT SIR, FREE BIRD SOLO
FIREEEE
0:13 …Metallic Madness?
1:33 That’s got to be a Sonic Mania nod, surely…? Especially fitting given that’s Mania’s miniboss theme, and that S3&K’s miniboss theme has a section that’s near-identical to the original Flying Battery.
To me though, this overall feels a lot more like a Megaman X track than a Sonic one.
Especially the part starting around 0:40, which really sounds like it could be straight out of the climax of MMX1’s Spark Mandrill (and that’s not a bad thing by any means).
I heard the Free Bird
Bro referenced the gawd damn free bird solo this is 🔥
Why is the free bird part so funny
horizontally spinning hedgehog
This is so fucking good
Fbz act 3 sounds hard
Those 8bit trumpets give me the willies, in the best way possible. The base is also what I believe the kids call, "chunky".
1:07 is probably the best part of the song imo, wish it was a bit longer
0:38 that freebird doe
this song is awesome as shit dude
GOOOOOD
IS THAT FREEBIRD !?!?!?!?!.
This slaps way harder than the original FBZ music, no joke 🔥
NICE SONG!!!
S&K ALTERNATE IS FINALLY REAL
Wondering if you would do an Ice Cap zone one, but these are all still great. Creativity at its finest!
he did a icz dumpster fired remix
artificial intelligence battery zone
at 0:39 it sounds like the free bird solo
0:12 when you know you're about to listen to an absolute banger
Love the AI Bomb Reference
I love this. I hear some Metallic Madness at 0:12 and maybe a bit of Look-a-Like at 0:17
Free Battery my beloved
Awesome
how painful is that image
i can't explain it in words
Alright, this is a certified SLAP.
THIS SOUNDS LIKE THUNDERFORCE 4 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
