LeeBro returns from hiatus with what is actually our first ReMix of Sonic 3D - the Sega Genesis version with music by Jun Senoue, that is. Previous Sonic 3D ReMix have covered the Sega Saturn version with music by Richard Jacques. Just clearin' that up ahead of time, so Jivemaster doesn't yell at me :) . . . This ReMix is different from LeeBro's other tracks on the site - it feels more paired down and also more deliberate. Clearly, the thick, tubby synth bass plays a huge role, and thankfully it's a great patch that's well suited for prominence. LB takes awhile to get started, but when the 808-style drums do come in it's not what you might expect - the first verse is actually pretty laid back, with an emphasis on the first beat of each measure. Bass takes off though - that's one consistent thing I've noticed about almost all Sonic music, that the bassline is usually melodic and plays a large role in the overall track. Might stem from the first Sonic composer, Masato Nakamura, being a bass player himself - who knows. Anyway, there's a great slide at 1'17" that repeats elsewhere that's fun to listen for. LeeBro adds some nice bells, synth pads, piano, and synth leads that have a brassy edge to them. Easy, popish techno reinvention of the track with a great bass and good polish overall. Recommended.
