Sonic the Hedgehog 3

So, the DC Video Games Live meetup is drawing to an end... I've got BGC, q-pa, Bahamut, and The Bronx Rican Wii bowling behind me as I write this. This was the first OCR meetup to be staged local to my home in Fairfax, Virginia, with significant portions occurring in my very own humble abode. There was Guitar Hero ownage (RealFolkBlues is a beast), Third Impact mayhem, Darkesword schooled me in Rival Schools and I paid him back in SFA3, people played ultimate frisbee while Palpable and I chilled and discussed the finer points of software engineering and education, and I think everyone involved had a generally great time. If you're on Facebook, join the OC ReMix Facebook group and expect photos shortly... My sister and brother-in-law showed up for the Friday night VGL event, where Tommy called me on stage to deliver an OCR-sponsored gift for a Space Invaders contest, and in general for me this was the most personal meetup yet since DC is essentially my hometown. I signed the shirt of a very persuasive female Phoenix Wright cosplayer, met Christopher Tin, and preached the secular gospel of OC ReMix to the masses at the meet and greet following the concert. If you've no idea what I'm talking about, check out our forums or just go to www.videogameslive.com for info on the actual concert; though unfortunately we can't travel with them and be at every event, I've seen the concert twice now, and it's damn well worth checking out... better the second time, even, especially thanks to some excellent bonus encore performances. Unfortunately Jill and Andy couldn't be with us due to Andy's stupid appendix and its need to be removed, which has since been taken care of (I know a guy who knows a guy), but it was still good times for all involved.

Speaking of good times, I chilled briefly with Andreas Kotsamanidis, better known (and pronounced) as Snappleman, at magfest this year - cool dude. Another contribution of his to Project Chaos, this mix follows up his previous Scrambled Eggman. The mix enters with a sampling of the actual game score, complete with those lovely, satisfying explosion effects the Genesis was so eminently capable of, but things kick into higher gear at 0'55" after synth lead, drums, and of course, patented Snappleman ass-kicking guitar technology is introduced. This actually sounds more like a Castlevania track - in a good way - when the scorching lead solo comes in at 1'35". If they ever make a Guitar Hero game filled with nothing but OC ReMixes, players will be cursing the name of Snappleman as their blistered fingers attempt to recreate his wholesome goodness. Interestingly, this mix actually features more lead synth solos than noodling of the fretted variety, illustrating that Mr. Kotsamanidis is just as skillful with axes of the keyed variety. If you haven't checked out Project Chaos yet, you of course should. '07 has been a little slow thus far in getting some (very cool) projects out the door, but keep your eyes, ears, and other orifices open for upcoming albums as well.

I have very little to say that can actually convey the concentrate amounts of awesome that flow in the veins of this beast, so I'll simply say this:
When a mix utterly owns me on Audiosurf, I get happy. Real happy.

Of all the songs from Project Chaos, this is probably my favorite! I love the intro; Original sounds are played, and then, a heavy, rockin' guitar strings in. Rock on!

Always gotta love a remix that includes a retro aspect of the game (properly might I add). This is one awesome remix. The control with the different guitars was simply splendtastic. I smack a "win" sticker on this mix.

[Also, I might be wrong (and probably am), but to the people addressing the sound in the beginning, I'm pretty sure that's what you hear on the last stage of the game, right before fighting Robotnik (Eggman?). ]


If that's Eggman, then the other laugh is Sonic mocking him.



Damn good ReMix, One of my favorites ever!

:sleepdepriv: :arrow: 8-O Impresses me everytime.

That's what I get for not confirming a rumor myself. :E

Wrong song man, you're thinking of The Doomsday (also on Project Chaos).

- SnappleMan on March 14, 2008
I love this song.
But hmmm...

I just noticed that cleverly placed Judas Priest reference. (Skip to 2:33)

Dudes. This mix is F'IN GOLD. On my trip to Hawai'i I played this song the most, turning it up on my iPod to the max and just bobbing my head as we drove around the island. It took me back and was just so damn awesome.
If you're a Sonic fan, DEFINITE download, like, as in now. Go, click it. You won't stop listening to it: I've played it like 10 times in a row every other day for awhile and haven't gotten sick of it. The song just rocks THAT much.

Just finished listening to it 4 times and man this takes me back. I hated that boss! x3

- Dante L. Wolfe on August 5, 2007
Awesome track. Weird enough I downloaded this track without looking at the artist's nickname and it started playing and at 0:55 I was sure it was Snappleman :-)
Great, great, great!

This has always been one of my all time favorites from Project Chaos. I agree with one of the other reviewers that this does sound slightly lossier than the version on the project's site, but I could hardly notice it over the sound of Snappleman's guitar playing kicking my ass all over the place. There's not only a great performance here, but also very solid production.
Also, I might be wrong (and probably am), but to the people addressing the sound in the beginning, I'm pretty sure that's what you hear on the last stage of the game, right before fighting Robotnik (Eggman?). Anyway, it's a very awesome and creative touch in my opinion, and only adds to the already high level of kickassery in the mix.

Someone either needs to make a guitar hero II expert hack to play it in the game, or a frets on fire version. it's just too damn good. I can't get enough of it and it definitely pumps me up when I am doing cardio lol

- TonitoX2 on July 22, 2007
Has been sealed in my iPod forever. 8-) Thanks SnappleMan!

- Shining Mirage on July 19, 2007
Excellent tech metal comp. Big Tip!!

Yeah, I can see that. Still exudes a little bit of an OLR vibe to be, but maybe that was just on the first listen.
