The hype machine for Sonic 4 was launched into a frenzy with the release of that infamous trailer. Since then, there has been much joy and much butt hurt. Digging through the interwebs, I stumbled upon the music for the level “Splash Hill Zone – Act 1″. I thought it was decent, but it didn’t impress me all that much. Take a listen for yourself and see what you think.
And would you believe it, but there are already remixes of this song. I knew I may be exposing my ears to some awful music. Try as I may, I couldn’t resist. I must say, I’m glad I went on this little musical adventure. A remixer (I guess that’s what you call them) by the name of geckoyamori posted a remix of this song but with a decidedly Sega Genesis flair to it. The arrangement and sound is leaps and bounds above the original. Just listen.
That is some seriously amazing stuff right there. He also has some amazing remixes of other songs from Mega Man and even a reinterpretation of Super Metroid with a Sega Genesis vibe.
