SONIC ADVENTURE related
|
The third related CD is a remix album inspired by the vocal songs on the mini-album! Many remixes are released later, but this was an early release. The line I aimed for with this CD is like "SPAWN -THE ALBUM-". I see! I see! Did you know that some of the commercials for several different games that have been produced have used some of these songs? The image on the jacket with the visuals from the production presentation fits the image! But why is there no remix featuring Sonic's theme!? |
| 1. UNKNOWN from M.E. -Theme of "KNUCKLES"- |
| remixed by Kevin Moore (ex.DREAM THEATER) & Steve Tushar |
|
It makes use of rap music not used on the mini-album. I was impressed by how well the samples fit together. (Tokoi) I think the rapping is so addictive.... It fits your voice perfectly. It's cool, very cool. Impressive! Admiration! (Kumatani) I like the zany guitars. But I never thought Kevin Moore would do something like this.... (Senoue) |
| 2. MY SWEET PASSION -Theme of "AMY"- |
| remixed by Kevin Moore (ex.DREAM THEATER) & Steve Tushar |
|
Voices, you use them well. Something about Amy makes me feel like an adult.... Looks like it could be played in a "Psycho"-like movie. (Kumatani) A remix that caught me by surprise in a good way. I really like the way the whispering voice is handled. (Tokoi) I think I like the flanging over the various parts, the momentary "pause" in the middle of the song, and the rising atmosphere that follows. (Senoue) |
| 3. MY SWEET PASSION -Theme of "AMY"- |
|
remixed by Chris Vrenna (ex.NINE INCH NAILS) & Mark Blasques featuaring... Corey Glover (Vo) & Al Pitrelli (Gt) |
|
Interesting, this remix. I like this kind of thing. It's an image of "Amy in reverse", in my mind. (Kumatani) I didn't expect it to be techno! The rhythm is a complex construction of jazz-like drums. And a good mix of brass, good. (Tokoi) This may be my favorite of the album. Al Pitrelli is as good as ever, and his vocoder voice is delicious. (Senoue) |
|
4. OPEN YOUR HEART -Main Theme Of "SONIC ADVENTURE"- |
|
remixed by Transmutator vs. Razed in Black featuaring... Corey Glover (Vo) & Al Pitrelli (Gt) |
|
I just can't help but hear it as "Shippori Shippori Shippori ....."! So what? I'm not sure. I would never have come up with something in this shape even if I stood on my head. (Senoue) "Dance away!" This song spoke to me. Trans people are one of the very difficult ones in my opinion. I wonder how easy it would be to make. (Tokoi) Anyway, the main theme of this album is really cool! Amazing favorite. I think it's definitely a convincing remix disc. (Kumatani) |
| 5. BELIEVE IN MYSELF -Theme of "MILES"- |
|
remixed by Transmutator featuaring... Corey Glover (Vo) & Al Pitrelli (Gt) |
|
I think the only thing about this song is that the lyrics didn't fit the worldview of the remix... I thought it was a bit too much, but I guess it can't be helped. It's kind of like a slightly different Miles. (Senoue) "I wanna fly" keeps looping in my head. I like this remix quite a bit lately. The things that you naturally hum. (Kumatani) How to make a pause from "I wanna fly"... I might like it. The geometric guitar solo is also effective. (Tokoi) |
|
6. LAZY DAYS -LIVIN' IN PARADISE- -Theme of "BIG"- |
| remixed by Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto) |
|
I thought this song would be easy to use as a material because of its simple originality... but the result was far beyond my expectations. (Senoue) Remix! I think this is the song that makes it feel the most like a "remix"! He said, "I knew you were going to use this place." When I played this album to my recording crew in N.Y., everyone was most pleased with the remixes. (Kumatani) I think you have done a good job of capturing the fun vibe of this song. Big toeru-kun is still alive and well in the remix! (Tokoi) |

7. OPEN YOUR HEART -Main Theme Of "SONIC ADVENTURE"- |
| remixed by Chris Randall & Van Christie (SISTER MACHINE GUN) |
|
Oh yeah... I like the third song, but personally, I think this one is pretty cool too. For example, a battle with Metal Sonic in a tube in outer space... I'd love to use it if there was a situation like that! (Senoue) It is an elaborate sequence of simple rhythms. This minimalism is comfortable. (Tokoi) My favorite remix. It's something you think, "That's cool." Don't you think Mr. Senoue's guitar fits great? (Kumatani) |
| 8. BELIEVE IN MYSELF -Theme of "MILES"- |
|
remixed by Matt Greene (SPAHN RANCH) featuaring... Corey Glover (Vo) & Al Pitrelli (Gt) |
|
Mind-controlled mechanical myles... A remix of the "target". The modulation of the solo section is nice. (Senoue) "I wanna fly" keeps looping in my head. This follows 05.... I guess it's fine, but where is the light in the original song? (Kumatani) I like the darkness of this ......... Maybe the original material is not from the mini-album? It's linked to the fifth track. But it's cool. (Tokoi) |
| 9. UNKNOWN from M.E. -Theme of "KNUCKLES"- |
| remixed by Cevin Key |
|
Bamboo rhythm is cool. Minimal music lovers will love it (?) (Tokoi) It is a little disappointing to start out in Japanese. But this atmosphere as if you are exploring something, there are a lot of elements that you can learn. (Kumatani) When I first heard it, I couldn't help but laugh. They have done some rather interesting things with the rhythmic sequences. And maybe a soprano sax solo that seems to be floating... (Senoue) |

There was a game commercial using this song, and apparently there is also a "Sonic Adventure Remix" TV commercial! I've heard it's something with a nuance like "games are good, but CDs are also good..." Have you ever seen it? (Senoue) A remix of the main theme familiar from the commercials. Remixes that also change the melody are quite common overseas, but this new pop is pleasant. What I am concerned about is that the TR-808 has a "light" kick. (Tokoi) Huh! Lyrics and melody that I have never heard before. Maybe a little too much... But it's a remix! Anything goes! The song is so groovy, and it's the new main theme? (Kumatani) By the way... Kumatani? I think all the lyrics are from the original song, although they are taken from different places. (Senoue) |
