I love how Palmtree Panic Bad Future has a section with the good future's piano. Really brings out the feeling of hope being found in the darkest of places. Also those chords god DAMN
Really happy to see this video come out. Sonic CD is filled so many bangers. I actually started making a playlist of songs that "sound like Sonic CD" and it's been so interesting because alot of the songs just defy genres.
I absolutely love this soundtrack! And they pushed the hell out of these games too!! The soundtrack had its own remix album, then got more remixes in Sonic Gems Collection! 6290 is incredible!!
I remember navigating to the music folder of the game file and playing all these tracks on windows 98 media player. Now coming across it on Spotify again, I will bump this shit unapologetically
The US ost is pretty good as well but in its own way. I always separate them like this: JP focuses more on the environment and making a sound that fits how cool it looks while the US one focuses more on how Sonic might feel. Stardust Speedway present is my favorite one from the US OST and it really sounds like how you would feel going outside in the big city at night and forgetting the path to home while walking alone. Everything just goes through your head at a rapid paste while also feeling like time has stopped existing
Man, thank you very much bro, I was insanely looking for someone to do a review of the Sonic CD soundtrack, I'm Brazilian so my comment might be a little silly, but I really wanted to thank you, because I really missed content on this subject in Brazil. Thank you very much, You gained another subscriber...
My opinion changes a lot but my favourite Sonic CD track probably is Tidal Tempest Present (jap). The intro with the chord progression made by rain drops is gorgeous. It is without a doubt my favourite water level track in any videogame ever
Thank you for putting this soundtrack in the spotlight. To this day, it's my favorite video game soundtrack of all time. Quartz Quadrant Present is my favorite song from any game period, so I feel you. This game put me on to so many genres I wouldn't have considered as a kid like deep house and trance. I love it so much.
8:42 also a cool detail. The first half of the song is what the bad future is based on and the second half of the song is what the good futures based on
Hey Screwstache, no cap, I just wanted to say, you feel me, that, you feel me, this is a dope review, you feel me? I also really like the Sonic CD soundtrack, no cap, you feel me, cant wait to see more, you feel me? No cap! You feel me? Dope vid bro, would love to see more!
I love both the JP and US soundtrack. And my favorite theme in the whole game is Wacky Workbench Present US. Grooviest song in the US OST, period. (Btw Metallic Madness Present US is underrated af)
0:30 I love how you showed the exact equipment they used to make it, they used a whole lot of JD-800, datafile (obviously) and for polestar magnetics they prolly loaded it up on the S1000
tidal tempest song reminds me of crystal teardrops from castlevania SOTN the sounds realy make you feel like you are in the water or ocean,its my favorite track in the game.
The only thing I don’t understand with the jp ost is why they didn’t stick with the beta boss music because for some reason it’s better than the final version. But other than that sonic cd’s ost is one of the best in video game history.
The thing I love about the past tracks is that they're basically deconstructions of the present tracks but primitive. That's some really good attention to detail
I can't believe I just found this video, I'm 1 minute in and I already agree. There's only 2 games in existence that have a soundtrack so good that without no exaggeration I love every single track in it those are pokemon G/S/C versions and Sonic CD Jp (FF crystal chronicles comes close but there's 1 or 2 tracks I find to be just ok. Every single track in the JP ost is amazing, I just can't put it into words, I still listen to it till this day and I still consider it my favorite Sonic ost (followed by adventure 1). And just because I know there's a bunch of people who people who don't like the game, I also like the game, it's pretty good.
@julies.burtnichols8754 I love it's ost too, a lot of the tracks are so good but I don't like all the tracks. But it's up there with some of my favorites like Xenoblade chronicles 1, 2 and 3, Megaman battle network 3, Smt5, and Mario galaxy 1. One I can't believe I forgot to put here is Neo the world ends with you, that game's ost is almost perfect, I think there's only 1 or 2 tracks I think are ok, but overall, while niche, I would easily put it on my top 5 ngl.
My top 3 favorite CD songs are: 3. Metallic Madness present: When I hear this I just feel like I’m dancing with a bunch of robots. It’s so funky but also a little intimidating with how metallic it sounds( Haha I said the name) but I also love that solo in the middle of the song. 2. Tidal Tempest present: like you said this was ahead of its time. This is probably one of the most chill song in the game and I love it. The piano goes crazy with the drums in this one. 1. Quartz quadrant present and Stardust speedway Bad future: I love both these songs to DEATH. SSBF is one of my fav sonic songs of all time, it’s so intense but so cool at the same time. It fits perfectly with the metal sonic race and is just a bop. Quartz quadrant however, has so much in the song. It starts off fast and intense and makes you wanna get rest to run. But then it transitions into a more uplifting part that’s still fast but happy. This whole soundtrack is incredible and it’s my fav Sonic soundtrack EVER.
My favorite theme of the game in general is tidal tempest of the present (jp), of the good future is collision chaos (jp) and of the bad future and the past is wacky workbench (jp) in my opinion they are the best themes of the game, good video and by the way I don't know if you could tell me what the name of the song that you put in the introduction of the video is called and as I said I'll repeat it again, good video
My fave track off the soundtrack is Quartz Quadrant Present with Metallic Madness Present and Tidal Tempest Past in close runner up. It’s just such a ridiculously good track. The piano, the horns, the synths, the drum patterns. It’s absolutely perfect in every way shape and form. I used to load up the level and just have Sonic stand there with minimal input just so I could hear the song on constant loop. It’s magical. Undoubtedly the best OST in the franchise next to Unleashed
Speaking of sonic cd, they found the music for R2, the unused level, and there is already recreations of them. It's called dubious depths, it's sonic cd's marble zone, and the present theme is actually the little planet song.
You probably won't read this, but I was curious if you're familiar with the fanmade PC soundtrack for Sonic CD? It's essentially just another set of alternate tracks for each stage, and it's pretty good.
well fm mean's Frequency modulation it's when 2 or 3 oscillator chain together that are modulation together in 2 or 3 Sine, well synths shit 101 lol ngl no cap ngl I own 3 analog hardware moog synths and I'm getting a DX7
It would be cool if you did a review on the US soundtrack, as the US one is so different from the JP one. Some songs are good, some are bad, some are just absolute bangers, and Metallic Madness Good Future US, where Spencer Nilsen would not calm down on the FUCKING BONGOS-
my favorite gotta be stardust bf and quartz gf (one of the most beautiful tracks of all time) but especially cosmic eternity, also Sonic 06 or Sonic 3&K next 😈
my well dude no cap as a guy that make sample and that's sound designer and make music a lot really day ngl I know a lot about this stuff very well, well I do this stuff even day x100 tbh so yeah and I being do this stuff for about 15 years 3:37
Easily, BY FAR, the best Sonic soundtrack of all time. The amount of tracks that aren't just technology-wise great, or thematically great, but so great that it's outright magical. To this day I am extremely pissed off that during that live performance ceremony they didn’t adapt any of the Sonic CD JP songs, not even anyone of the US tracks.
The fact that the JP soundtrack on vinyl shows how legendary it is.
ugh i wanna get it on vinyl but it's so rare and hard to come by
Thats not a good metric
I love how Palmtree Panic Bad Future has a section with the good future's piano. Really brings out the feeling of hope being found in the darkest of places. Also those chords god DAMN
IMHO Metallic Madness US did it way better.
It literally is teasing and mocking the player. Kinds like what WW BF JP did with the small Christmas bells part
Really happy to see this video come out. Sonic CD is filled so many bangers. I actually started making a playlist of songs that "sound like Sonic CD" and it's been so interesting because alot of the songs just defy genres.
Omg i would love to hear that playlist! Only if you're willing of course
That sounds 🔥🔥
@@puremltrash2 Sure! It's called "Sonic CD type beat" on Spotify.
If only ppl knew in stardust speedway that the famous “Hue” is actually “Hey”
But it actually sounds like hue
US CD review would be dope. And maybe some sports spinoff like Riders.
wacky workbench past is 🔥🔥🔥
I absolutely love this soundtrack! And they pushed the hell out of these games too!! The soundtrack had its own remix album, then got more remixes in Sonic Gems Collection! 6290 is incredible!!

That guitar in quartz quadrant bad future is amazing
Facts bro no one talks about that
Me thinking about sonic cd ost at 1am then you upload this.
Thank you 😤
Thank you for putting this soundtrack in the spotlight. To this day, it's my favorite video game soundtrack of all time. Quartz Quadrant Present is my favorite song from any game period, so I feel you. This game put me on to so many genres I wouldn't have considered as a kid like deep house and trance. I love it so much.
I also love Quartz Quadrant Present as well with Palmtree Panic Good Future being a close second.
Awesome video! I’d love a follow up for the US soundtrack. Also I agree with you on Quartz Quadrant Present JP, best song in the game!
8:42 also a cool detail. The first half of the song is what the bad future is based on and the second half of the song is what the good futures based on
Hey Screwstache, no cap, I just wanted to say, you feel me, that, you feel me, this is a dope review, you feel me?

Dope vid bro, would love to see more!
💯
Wacky workbench past is absolutely amazing and funky
I really love the JP soundtrack
I love both the JP and US soundtrack. And my favorite theme in the whole game is Wacky Workbench Present US. Grooviest song in the US OST, period.
(Btw Metallic Madness Present US is underrated af)
0:30 I love how you showed the exact equipment they used to make it, they used a whole lot of JD-800, datafile (obviously) and for polestar magnetics they prolly loaded it up on the S1000
and my fav song is stardust speedway present btw
Tidal tempest got me having strokes with how good it is
tidal tempest song reminds me of crystal teardrops from castlevania SOTN the sounds realy make you feel like you are in the water or ocean,its my favorite track in the game.
nice review
I love the Sonic CD Soundtrack! I would love to see a Sonic Unleashed ore Mania Plus Ost Review!
Yup! This is my new favorite channel!
I agree with you, QQ present is my favorite sonic theme too.
11:28 I wish I had this level of passion for anything, bro. 😂

Quartz Quadrant present is my favorite too! Nice
Bruh, I'd love to see Sonic Mania soundtrack 😳
Also the x static goldmine is pretty easy to find now of days
I realy want all the librarys
But I'm broke asf :(
You should do a ristar sound track review, that game got some good music
COLLISION CHAOS PAST IS CRAZY
Collision chaos past is actually what inspired me to experiment with those hard rhythmic chords to create that funk feel.
CD is PEAK Sonic
I can't believe I just found this video, I'm 1 minute in and I already agree. There's only 2 games in existence that have a soundtrack so good that without no exaggeration I love every single track in it those are pokemon G/S/C versions and Sonic CD Jp (FF crystal chronicles comes close but there's 1 or 2 tracks I find to be just ok.

This is also one of my favorite soundtracks from Sonic CD 😁 4:25
Holy fuck I did not realize there was even a cd quality of Palmtree panic past
i love the US soundtrack
American Wacky Workbench Past is the GOAT of this game's music, even against the Japanese version.
This, 3&K and Mania are S tier soundtracks
collision chaos present is musical genius
Tbh wacky workbench is one of my favourite levels mainly because 1. Im a mad woman. And 2 wacky workbench is actually fun
Speaking of sonic cd, they found the music for R2, the unused level, and there is already recreations of them. It's called dubious depths, it's sonic cd's marble zone, and the present theme is actually the little planet song.
Best present : QQ
Best past : WW
Best gf : QQ/MM
Best bf : CC
Mine is either Stardust Speedway, Quartz Quadrant Good Future or Metallic Madness Good Future.
Video game soundtrack - S tier
facts
When Sonic Hysteria comes out, REVIEW DAT SOUNDTRACK!
You probably won't read this, but I was curious if you're familiar with the fanmade PC soundtrack for Sonic CD? It's essentially just another set of alternate tracks for each stage, and it's pretty good.
yuh i know both of the guys who did that project both are amazingly talented people
Mettalic Madness bad future and stardust speedway
Bro. Quarts quadrant present is also my favorite!!! 😊😊😊😊
You should do a soundtrack review of Sonic and the Secret Rings heavily underrated soundtrack
you feel me
My favorite track is Quartz Quadrant “G” mix
MY WHAT?!?!?! 😨
Quartz Quadrant Present And Stardust Speedway Past.
I like Stardust Speedway Both Present and Bad Future
If I'm stuck on an island with only one thing to bring along. I'm getting the sonic CD jp soundtrack.
real
u feel me
You say 'you feel me?' a lot.
well fm mean's Frequency modulation
it's when 2 or 3 oscillator chain together that are modulation together in 2 or 3 Sine, well synths shit 101 lol ngl no cap ngl I own 3 analog hardware moog synths and I'm getting a DX7
Tidal Tempest past gotta be my fav
It would be cool if you did a review on the US soundtrack, as the US one is so different from the JP one. Some songs are good, some are bad, some are just absolute bangers, and Metallic Madness Good Future US, where Spencer Nilsen would not calm down on the FUCKING BONGOS-
my favorite gotta be stardust bf and quartz gf (one of the most beautiful tracks of all time) but especially cosmic eternity, also Sonic 06 or Sonic 3&K next 😈
What the hell happened to that project that put them both together and included some fan remixes?
You... You... You said the F WORD!
can you do a jet set radio review?
Maybe 👀
my well dude no cap as a guy that make sample and that's sound designer and make music a lot really day ngl I know a lot about this stuff very well, well I do this stuff even day x100 tbh so yeah and I being do this stuff for about 15 years 3:37
Japanese Sonic Team ❤
i feel you
JP stardust speedway good future is my jam
Mine is Stardust Speedway Good Future US
“Niggalin” 💀
Alright but what about the sonic the hedgehog remix album
niceeee
edit: pleeeaaase review chaotix ost
This is illegally underrated
I am a huge sucker for anything stardust speedway related
Easily, BY FAR, the best Sonic soundtrack of all time.
The amount of tracks that aren't just technology-wise great, or thematically great, but so great that it's outright magical.
To this day I am extremely pissed off that during that live performance ceremony they didn’t adapt any of the Sonic CD JP songs, not even anyone of the US tracks.
fm is non additive synthesis, analog is additive synthesis like my moog grandmother synth tbh
Nice video but you say "you feel me" like 10 times per second
Bro is NOT capping 🧢 bro is NOT gonna lie ‼️
The JP sonic cd sound track is better than the American soundtrack the American soundtrack sounds aquard
ok but now do sonic rush
music?
Holy shit 4 minutes ago
The Virgin Japanese soundtrack vs the Chad American one
Your disgraceful against the U.S soundtrack, just say it that you’re holding a grudge against The U.S soundtrack.
US soundtrack sucks
Hey man, you should clarify in the title you're only reviewing the jap version.
DA Garden have an past "g" mix and "b" mix ost bc he was a scrapped level (you probably know) But this is completly lost:/
