I can relate to what u r saying. When i was 7 that ost got me really sad too, whem i was 14 studing music and guitar i got to know about how chords can be used to create emotions, such as the feeling of power with major/powe chords and the feeling of sadness/sorrow with minor chords and other irregular intervals of notes.
HOW THE FUCK YOU WANNA SAY THAT CHRISTMAS LIKE MUSIC IN DIAMOND DUST THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CRISTMAS,AN GENERIC ACTION MOVIE MUSIC IN VOLCANO VALLEY IS BETTER THEN THE MD VERSION
A lot of legacy game franchises, your Mega Mans and Zeldas and Castlevanias and Fantasies Final, have rich musical legacies. I don't think any of them have one as versatile as Sonic. This was only two years after Sonic 3 and two years before Sonic Adventure. None of those soundtracks sound like each other and they all sound incredible.
Back then the composers had the heat on them to come up with a soundtrack to really portray the level and area but that sadly seems to of bin lost for just looking nice and pretty its a shame...
And all these franchises are in Super Smash Bros. it's amazing to think about to me. Like I probably would've never cared to step out and listen to the music from those series unless Smash gave me a taste of what they had to offer. I grew up with Sonic so I've been listening to the music for a long time. Heck if I hear a song, I can almost instantly tell you which game it's from, but I haven't even heard every Sonic song. Like I've never heard the songs on this soundtrack. I know the Genesis one, but I've only heard bits and pieces of the the Saturn version, and oh man am I loving it
speaking of Smash, it's a shame how little Sonic's music is represented in Smash. The only remix in the entire series is from brawl and we only got 2 new songs
Not only do I listen to this in the rain, I make it an effort to listen to this track whenever it rains. I can remember how beautiful it was: the rain, the thunder and the flashes of lightning all while this music played on. God bless you Richard Jacques.
When I was young couldn't afford games myself, I remember finding sonic 3d blast on sale for dirt cheap on pc. I had a Windows 98 and played w the keyboard. For a sonic game that was tough. This track is the one I remember the most from those days. Beautiful, thank you!
@@jailbirdjenna If you still have the disc you can pop it in any CD player and it should actually play the music, Track 1 is the game, but 2 and on should be the soundtrack. This works with a lot of old games that kept their music as uncompressed audio on the CD, give it a try sometime!
I used to listen to this almost every morning when I got up to get ready to go to school. For some reason, this song just seemed to fit with the still dark blue skies of early morning, especially if it was kind of cloudy too. Got nostalgic as I'm sitting here in the car parking lot and decided to listen to it on a rainy, dark blue early morning. Still a classic.
Same here, I had the PC version and if you put the disc in a CD player it played the soundtrack. It's literally the most relaxing thing I've ever heard next to DDD.
Many hours spent down in my room drawing and creating my own comic books and storylines while listening to this masterpiece of a song. This soundtrack truly holds a very special place in my heart.
A lot of people say this song was inspired by Enigma's Sadeness, but that's not 100% the full story. It was actually more likely to have been inspired by an SY99 Factory Demo track titled 'Gregorian' which uses the same vocal chants used in this song too. Said SY99 Factory Demo was very inspired by Enigma's Sadeness itself, which is why this song also sounds like it.
Ayo now I HAVE to listen to that song, cuz I've heard Enigma's Sadness and other New Age bands and when I found out sonic, Streets of rage and countless other games have inspiration from such and the genre it blew my mind PD: The Streets of Rage theme has Clear inspiration from Enigma's Sadness the similarities are there
This song personally reminds me of just the 90s chill aesthetic. I can just imagine this track being used in a training video or a news station bumper, just something the has that 90s smooth jazz.
Me too! Brett wasn't lying about this being a heavenly track lol. To me, it's really reminiscent of Enigma's early works. Hit up Sadeness by them if this track is your kind of thing. :)
Oh my God, I'm not the only person who thinks of Enigma when they hear this song. It's the drum beat, really, that's always been what I think of when I think of Enigma.
@@KitAkira1989 when I heard it that was the first thing a thought of, then Chappelle show(slow mo sketch), then finally streets of rage. I need to get my priorities straight.
No lie, if any future Sonic game that comes out has at least 95% of every Sonic game’s OST it’s already an instant classic. Top 3 Sonic games ever made.
Music of Saturn version of RRZ has different atmosphere than in Genesis version. While Genesis music on Act 1 had wibe of exploration, Saturn version provides beauty of this place and also provides beauty to nature, which Sonic fights for.
It's amazing how much the Saturn soundtrack improves the game. The Genesis soundtrack is pretty good but I really enjoy the Saturn OST for 3D Blast. Great tune to listen to on a rainy day.
I love how it goes immediately from happy, carefree, bright and green to Broken, rainy, dreary ruins in just the first two levels. It's like the first level is Sonic discovering this awesome new place. But by Rusty Ruins he's concerned for the flickies. He's getting madder at Eggman, and he understands that he needs to get serious.
you know those songs you hear in twitch streams or in RUclips videos but don't know what it is and you feel desperate to know? This was me with this song, thank god I found it at last
I didn't get to play this game until 2010 or 2011, when I found a Saturn emulator. By then, I was 14 or 15. But I still loved Sonic to death and was excited to play a game I didn't know existed when I was 10. And now we return to your local on the 8s...
It was a huge treat in hindsight to get bits of the Genesis soundtrack in Sonic Adventure, and by extension give it wider recognition, but I wish the Saturn soundtrack got the same. It's probably hard to imagine these days, but redbook audio was probably a shot in the arm for immersion with 2D games. Playing games like Mario 3, Zelda, Mega Man are great all around, but you encounter a game like Sonic CD or this game, and the soundtrack alone elevates the experience to something truly special.
By no means am I a new Sonic fan, but everytime I hear this song, ESPECIALLY THE INTRO; I just envision Sonic Frontiers. This song would fit so well with the game

Why is the saturn ost so soothing? I'm actually tearing up while listening to this
:,)
Maybe it’s due to the cords and sounds of the notes from the instruments
I can relate to what u r saying.
When i was 7 that ost got me really sad too, whem i was 14 studing music and guitar i got to know about how chords can be used to create emotions, such as the feeling of power with major/powe chords and the feeling of sadness/sorrow with minor chords and other irregular intervals of notes.
@@arthurgomes9248 Its all those suspensions and brief minor second intervals combined with all the reverb that makes this so enchanting
It's because Richard Jacques composed it, he had a different style compared to Jun Senoue who was behind the Genesis version.
This OST is as if the Sonic CD JP OST and the Sonic CD US OST had a child. And it's absolutely beautiful
I see where you’re getting at but I say
The genesis ver is the JP ver because
1) it’s the original
2) it’s more popular
@@RandomFella745 the popularity doesn’t affect the quality or where it came from. That’s kinda redundant
@@makotoyuki345 true but I feel as the style feels more Japanese

Sonic games may have mitigated quality but their soundtracks are up here with the other legends
Sounds like the kind of music you'd listen to on a rainy day.
I just did listen to it in the rain
or in an evening of land valleys and stars
For me, this music reminds me of the ocean
Not only do I listen to this in the rain, I make it an effort to listen to this track whenever it rains. I can remember how beautiful it was: the rain, the thunder and the flashes of lightning all while this music played on. God bless you Richard Jacques.
Funnily enough tho there are videos of this song with rain sfx!
Richard Jacques' understanding and use of harmony is unmatched.
@FSAPO didn't know he made this song , another one of the many bangers he has across sega soundtracks from the saturn-dreamcast era :P
You saw one video about a guy praising the Sonic R soundtrack and suddenly you think you know what the word harmony means.

This gives off Sonic CD vibes.
True
Exactly with the mysterious music
I’m getting Sonic Adventure vibes
Tidal tempest!
@@dangerousmaster66 You must've played Lost World with this song haha
New Age vibes going on here for sure. Enigma was really popular around this time, so it's not surprising. Definitely a beautiful piece.
Definitely thought the same thing
The loop too used in this track was almost similar to the one Enigma used if not the same. I think it was from a Zero G sample pack actually :)
Many hours spent down in my room drawing and creating my own comic books and storylines while listening to this masterpiece of a song. This soundtrack truly holds a very special place in my heart.
Same!!
As a cartoonist and a gamer, I can relate.

Aslo I Believe There few Roland JV-1080 Sounds In this Song.For Examples,The Piano sound i think it "64VoicePiano"
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thought this track was very reminiscent of Enigma's song.
@@emuplayers5942 The pad is two patches from the JV. One of them is called Arasian Morn.
This song reeks of being on a PC in the late-'90s and your entire world is isometric. _sigh_ ; those days are ancient history now.
This song personally reminds me of just the 90s chill aesthetic. I can just imagine this track being used in a training video or a news station bumper, just something the has that 90s smooth jazz.
The aesthetic you’re thinking of is vaporwave, although this song predates vaporwave by 20 years.
Beard Bros brought me here, and thank god for that. Or rather, thank Brett.
Same lol
Glad I came from SBB too, this track is so smoooooooth
Me too! Brett wasn't lying about this being a heavenly track lol. To me, it's really reminiscent of Enigma's early works. Hit up Sadeness by them if this track is your kind of thing. :)
Brett's the man. When he started talking about the Saturn soundtrack, I was hoping he'd mention this one specifically.
what?
The beat and instrumentation on it is so Enigma - Sadeness.
Wow, that's a great shout. Wouldn't be surprised if he borrowed from that at all, it's so similar.
ruclips.net/video/Eat88YpIg34/видео.html Your order, sir.
The genesis version is definitely a bop but this one has such a reminiscent and melancholy feel. Also the piano in this just carries so hard.
Reminds me of Sadeness by Enigma.

God, this just hits all the good spots. Say what you want about Sega but most of their OSTs for their games tend to be bangers.
“Most?”

This instrumental is so soothing.
The fact that this is from a Sonic game kind of blows my mind
The comments were right. Superstars' Lagoon City Act II has these vibes
Yep, 90s r&b type
The composer was listening to a LOT of Enigma at the time. This bops.
Probably one of the most, if not, the most underrated Sonic song in the entire franchise.
This track is so good...90s top 40/Hip Hop/RnB vibe to it.
I always thought this song had a mid-late 90s rnb /gospel vibe to it. I remember playing this on my old Windows 95 pc
Early 90s. Too close to Enigma's Sadeness to be 'accidental'.
No lie, if any future Sonic game that comes out has at least 95% of every Sonic game’s OST it’s already an instant classic. Top 3 Sonic games ever made.
so like 35000% music?
I wish this song was on streaming services. It's such a beautiful track and stands as one of my favourite video game tracks.

It's amazing how much the Saturn soundtrack improves the game. The Genesis soundtrack is pretty good but I really enjoy the Saturn OST for 3D Blast. Great tune to listen to on a rainy day.
This theme is now my comfort music.
I’m currently listening to this as a pretty feisty storm goes through my area.
Very fitting to say the least.
Sounds almost the same as Tidal Tempest from sonic cd.
I get more of a Mystic Cave from Sonic 2 vibe.
I fell like this goes better with hidden palace
Yeah
Same.
Ya, or the famous R2
Bro i feel like I could vibe eternally to this.
Music is so good it can be used as background music while I'm at work or at home it's such a good mood
This music is beautiful.
This is the greatest video game song of all time.
This song has a very wet rainy day feel. So goos.
That's because the Saturn version had rain and mist in this zone while the Genesis version didn't.
I can’t believe this soundtrack returning to superstars
I love how it goes immediately from happy, carefree, bright and green to Broken, rainy, dreary ruins in just the first two levels.

Thank you, thank you thank, thank you for this... the saturn ost always seems forgotten but I loved it for 3d blast. Thank you!
How many more times are you going to say thank you?
Soundtracks from sonic games. That’s piece of masterpiece.
That beginning..

Kind of reminds me of "Keep on Moving" by Soul II Soul

This sounds more like a past theme.
Fun fact : Instrument Sonic 3D Blast Saturn using Roland JV-80 (i think)
That's why the Piano is so beautiful.
Richard Jacques is freaking incredible
Truly unstoppable.
A good sonic song to unwind, slow down, and relax. Sometimes taking it slow makes you recover faster than going fast.
You just discovered an abandoned cathedral on a foggy mountain top.
