  • I can't help myself thinking that this song is cursed

  • I would've let it go if they cancelled it for saturn, but if SEGA allowed the PC version, I would have loved to get that... not only is PC superior; it's the longest-going gaming system to be out there.

  • Sound like "What is Love" REALLY!

  • Love this song, even if the soundtrack in general was kinda hit or miss IMO. On another note, am I the only one that notices how cross-eyed Sonic is in this pic? O_o

  • @Cam3leon The soundtrack isn't official which is why it's mostly hit and miss. Chris made the soundtrack to aid him in getting creative sparks when he was designing the enemies, levels and so on. This song is particular is the most notably best song out of the whole soundtrack because Chris used it to present his tech demo's.

    Also Sonic does slightly look cross-eyed, but not by a whole lot.

  • amazing song... glad i finally found out the actual name of it

  • I would LOVE to hear a trance version of this song!

    Also, hearing this awesome and potentially euphoric song makes me kind of sad that this game never saw the light of day :(

  • This is good for intros

  • Awesome music! Wish this game this would be released though, sounds awesome!

  • Where did this belong in the game?

  • @josornio300

    Nowhere. It was only used during demonstrations of the game.

  • I just realized .. this song mashes up BEAUTIFULLY with Gene Gadget Act 2 (Sonic 3D Saturn).

  • @TehGallopingSausage

    Whoa! Nice find man. Now somebody needs to do that mash up justice and time the two songs correctly.

  • I wish this had been in Sonic Generations

  • @CornishCreamtea07

    Tell me about it. I think this would've been a good choice for the hub world's theme.

  • @CornishCreamtea07

    Slap this song on a flash drive, stick it in the xbox and have it play when you're playing Sonic Generations.

  • @Nitrous0x

    I own it on the PS3

  • @Nitrous0x What kind of self respecting Sonic fan would be playing the masterpiece called Generations on a Xbox? The PC was like Sega's second console, seeing releases of their games alongside their own console ports even as far back as Sonic CD. No, the Steam (read: PC) version is the superior port, and the one I own.

  • @CornishCreamtea07 Me too.

  • My funeral music

  • Sound like "What is Love" a little bit

  • @klookyjoolover

    I'd like to see a comparison video because I still don't hear the similarities, lol.

  • /watch?v=7F-Ds_xeNcA&

  • so was this conceptual music made in the 90s for the the game or is this just a fan made soundtrack?

  • @EternalREWIND This is legit not fan made. Chris Senn uses it in most of the SX level videos.

  • @EternalREWIND

    The original Space Queens is that low quality video that is in the video response section, but this version you're listening to, is the remastered version remade by Chris Senn. The original one was made back in the mid 90's and this version was done in mid 2000's. Both done by Chris Senn.

  • still love this song!

  • Listen to that song by RayWilliamJohnson called "8-bit" world and tell me if you notice the similarities. I know I did and I hope I'm not the only one.

  • @journeysuperstar81 yeah, you're right!

  • @journeysuperstar81

    Yeah, the very beginning sounds like the beginning of Space Queens but everything after that doesn't sound like it.

  • how old is sonic xtreme? i wish to send sega a letter so i can tell them so they can fix the mistakes then they can release it on the sega saturn and also xbox 360, wii, and play station 3 and that would be it.

  • @BabyLuva1001 pretty sure its about 15-16 years old cuz it tried to compete with Super mario 64 which came out in 96 but it never came to be

  • @animeist72 It wasn't made to compete with Super Mario 64, Sonic Xtreme had been in development under many working titles and game engines since 1993, but it was cancelled in 96/97, because the game hadn't really been developed much over those three years, it was just lots of planning had to be done.

  • so evreyone what do you know that sonic xtreme was cancelled. man i wish sonic xtreme was fixed and then it will go on sega saturn and also wii, xbox 360, and play station 3.... that's sad : (

  • I WANT SONIC XTREME....

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWW­WWWWWWWWWWW

  • This is so Crystal Frost, so christmassy.

  • awsome song wish they would have released the game

  • i wish they would fix the game like the graphics and engine. than they release it on sega saturn and maybe wii, xbox 360, and play station 3 that would be great. : )

  • If I was the inventor of the time machine, I would go back and tell sega to allow the delay. Then we'd have a Sonic X-Treme game.... *sigh*

  • how did sonic xtreme game got cancelled i wish i want to play it.

  • @BabyLuva1001 I believe it's because Sega wanted to release the game for the Christmas holidays in 1997, but the game was still under development and Sega didn't want to release it later. There was also many issues with the graphics engine, so the team developing the game just gave it up. Yup, I wish to have played the game too. What a waste :(

  • Oh, you know what would be badass? If in Project ASXS they made a CG intro that goes along with this song. A lot like Sonic CD only more crystaline. Yes, crystaline. A great way to describe this song.

  • @InsanimationStudios

    You know what's ironic. I always thought this song fit the Crystal Frost level from Sonic X-treme and here you're calling it Crystaline. lol

  • @Nitrous0x xD I personally think it belongs to Jade Gully

  • @ShidoGu

    Or maybe it was just the signature overworld theme for the game, like the Bomb Omb Battlefield theme in Super Mario 64

    who knows!

  • @metalWeirdo77 Yeah! So sad they never released the full game. They should rework on it any day xD

  • Thnaks for this. Had it stuck in my head for 2 days already thanks to watching the videos again.

    Ringtone'd!

  • @ReligiousHero Wow! You must be deaf cause there's similarity all over that level's music

  • I love this music.

  • ,,I'm using this in my fangame.

  • They should put this in a current Sonic game. It sounds like a good RPG theme. This should be in Sonic Chronicles 2 (assuming there is one still being made...)

  • i wish this game wasn't canceled...

  • @maxxdblade

    Agreed completely, some people are working on a fan game of it currently that looks pretty good.

  • @ChaosInvokerX i know it looks pretty awesome but %90 of the time fan project doesn't turn up well...

  • @supersonicmario56 :o actually, I was referring to the music. lol

  • Sonic's eyes are like the down syndrom sonic lolz!!!

  • Listen to this, then listen to Red Mountain from Sonic Adventure 1. When you see it, you will shit bricks. ;D

  • @pokepizza

    i know

    and theyre both completely opposite levels

    irony much?

  • @pokepizza

    Huh? I can't here the similarity.

  • thanks for the download!! :)

  • @luis42451

    You're welcome. :)

  • @klookyjoolover

    Compared the two and they do not have any similarities. Dunno how the intros to both songs sound the same to you, lol

  • @Nitrous0x He's right, it's very similar.

  • I always hum this song on a dark, cloudy day.

  • Since I might be getting a Sonic themed MP3 from Toys R Us...

    MP3, maybe?

  • I never really liked sonic games, but Sonic X-Treme man, that looks like something that would have blown my pants off! Also, i couldn’t care less about 16 Bit Trancefrom the 90s, but this song is playing up and down in my playlist. Thanks for sharing.

  • 2 people who disliked th-- *shot*

  • @Nymfipapukaija

    got-- *shot*

    Oh well, it's a good thing I got shot, I had no idea where I was going with that sentence.

  • possibly couldve been the best sonic 3d game ever.

  • This song has SEGA, Sonic, X-Treme and AWESOME slapped all over it. Chris Senn is a legend!

  • Wait... I swear I heard this from another Sonic game!! =O

  • Who is Chris Senn?

  • @Jelley0

    Chris Senn was the Lead Art Designer of the PC version of Sonic X-treme.

  • @Nitrous0x Wow I'm kinda surprised that someone who was a Sega game developer is found on the internet now-a-days, especially because he hasn't forgot about this game and has something to do with the game despite it being cancelled a long time go

  • @Jelley0

    Yeah Chris Senn is the only SEGA employee whose willing to share stuff he did with Sonic X-treme.

  • @Nitrous0x Btw, do you know why this game got cancelled?

  • @Jelley0

    There were lots of reason why Sonic X-treme was canceled. I'll name a few. A few crucial SEGA employees got sick for weeks. Chris Senn was one and he almost died. The game changed game engine's and consoles a lot. The game went through development hell basically and it also was not going to make the deadline Sega was hoping for, so it was cancelled.

  • @Nitrous0x That sounds awful, but I don't get why some other people could have worked on it instead when they were sick, or have the people take a break and just extend the deadline. Ah well

  • @Nitrous0x .......

    why is not meeting a deadline a reason to cancell the whole thing all together?

    I'd understand that being a reason to slow down and focus more on other things, but not totally destroy any chance it has of ever being played by the general public.

  • @Nitrous0x wait, so do u actually hav a relationship with chris senn? hav you ever asked him if it was still possible to finish the game and finally releasing it to the public? id be so happy if that happened

  • @Blessedratdragon

    No I don't know him in person. He has his own forum where you can talk with him and ask him questions and stuff related to Sonic X-treme. I asked him one day if he could extend Space Queens because I felt the one he had originally was too short and he did it. Also he can't finish the game as he doesn't own the game's engine. Ofer Alon owns it and he won't give it up and there's no way we're ever gonna get our hands on the game's engine to finish the game.

  • @Nitrous0x aw, well that sucks, real bad

  • @Nitrous0x

    Really? Do you have a link to the extension? Or is this it?

  • @Blessedratdragon

    Well, a real easy way to get in contact with him is make an account at Senntien forums, then go to the Sonic X-treme compendium. I own an account there, also, Chris' username there is kurisu and his icon is a little thumbnail of a limbless waddling Sonic.

  • @mariodude8989211 hey, thnx dude

  • @Blessedratdragon

    Oh, and if you ever get on there, if you wanted to talk to me, then just remember my username there is SonicXtremeMario54321.

  • @Nitrous0x

    There was going to be a PC version of Sonic X-treme? Stupid move by Sega imo, doesn't that contradict the whole idea of X-treme being the supposed system saver for the Saturn?

    That is of course, no disrespect to what Chris Senn was able to achieve during it's short development span.

  • @strykah92

    Yeah the final two systems it was going to be released on was the Saturn and PC. The PC version was different from the Saturn version. So there was actually gonna be two different ways to play Sonic X-treme. Something to compare it to is the Xbox and Wii versions of Sonic Unleashed. Two completely diff. games but same storyline.

  • @Jelley0 Hi Jelley. I figured I'd find you here.

  • @RandumCheese Mmhmm.

  • @Jelley0 Thanks. :D

  • @moneymike429a1 Thanks for what lol?

  • Comment removed

  • Down syndrome Sonic returns :O

  • I can`t stop thinking about this song.

  • Someone, anyone should make a remix of this melody.

  • @JustAnotherSonicFan

    I've been thinking of the same thing myself but the only remix of this i've seen is the video response i have which is actually quite good.

  • An out-of-this-world, royal melody ^_^!

  • X-treme music.

  • Sega should release this game on Xbox Live Marketplace. If they can release Rez hd, Sonic Adventure, and other Dreamcast games why not Sonic Xtreme?

  • @pspuser65 Yes, yes they should.

  • @pspuser65

    Because it was never finished >.>

  • @mariodude8989211 If it was devleloped then it would have been a great Sonic game on the Saturn.

  • Techno at its best =DDDDDDDDDD

  • Love this tune!

    This game more than deserves a proper remake!!

  • If only this game was released on the Sega Saturn. You see what you did Nights Japenese development team!!!

  • @pspuser65 Which is why I have a hatred for Nights. Damn jester-hat-wearing abomination.

  • Be right back, I have eargasm.

  • 1 idiot missed the 'Like' button. I don't know what egotistical world that person lives in, but this music is awesome. It is quite an uplifting little tune -- it's helping keep it together so that I may finish high school. That's how much this piece is starting to mean to me. It almost makes me want to cry a bit. =')

  • @Sonicdude41

    That's deep.

  • @Nitrous0x I guess it was, eh? I also get that nostalgic feeling from listening to this -- it reminds me how much I miss growing up. :(

  • @Sonicdude41

    Believe it or not, I listen to this almost everyday lol. That's how much I like this song.

  • @Nitrous0x I'm listening to it as I'm doing my Gov project. Again, it gives me that bit of hope that I can prevail. :D

  • @Sonicdude41

    any reason y this song is not in sonic 4? IT SHOULDVE been in it DAMMIT!

  • @mastertriforce69

    Because this wasn't made officially for the game, lol.

  • @mastertriforce69

    that was just the "first" episode of the game

    hopefully, like the boss theme, which was an unused track from sonic 3d blast, theyll put this one in the next episode. . . if they have an ice themed level, that is

  • @mastertriforce69 should be remixed for sonic colors

  • Inspiring.

  • Let's hunt down and kill the one guy who thumbed this down! He's evil!

  • @GameMasterGuy

    lol no need to. I already know who it was. It was a user named Fabio. He was pretty much a troll. Go through the comments and you should see him saying why it sucked.

  • This game has one hell of a kickass soundtrack

  • Hopefully someone will take the leaked resources, program an engine for them to run on, release it for PC and Mac, and then work on a Saturn-friendly version that you can burn to disk to play on the Sega Saturn! It should also have sprites that look like the original Sonic X-treme sprites, but are higher quality.

  • @InsanimationStudios

    Well there are people trying to do this ATM actually.

  • Mario Galaxy but better and way before its time, i wonder where sonic would be had this game had gone through

  • Someone should do a mashup of this song with "what is love". :P

  • you can't rate 5 stars anymore, so i'm just gonna have to favourite instead

  • @segasaturnfan13

    Oh yeah I forgot to change that. You can thumbs it up instead I guess.

  • This is real sonic music right here not the bullshit rock music.back when sonic was focused on speed and gameplay now its only about graphics(which are horrible on sonic 06) and too much fucking characters (chip is so damn annoying on sonic unleashed) the orignal creators would be pissed off of what the new creators had done to this.P.S i miss ryan drummond(original voice of sonic):((

  • mp3 link is dead :(

  • @EternalREWIND

    Wow are you serious? Chris must have taken down the Sonic X-treme archive. You're gonna have to wait a day or two so i can get the mp3 file from my old computer because this mp3 file isn't hosted anywhere else.

  • @EternalREWIND

    The mp3 is uploaded to a new link now :) Check the video description.

  • @Nitrous0x thanks man, btw who made this song and can you point me in the direction where I can find more of his work?!?!

  • @EternalREWIND Chris Senn, a programmer for the canceled Sonic X-treme made this as a placeholder track. You might be able to download more at the Sonic X-treme archives. You can probably find it on Google.

  • @SpeedingHedgehog

    Nope, Chris's X-treme archive has been down for months now. With Chris being busy with stuff in real life, he hasn't had the time to renew the domain because hxc is no longer supporting it. All of Chris's music is in one place only and that's his archive, so don't expect google to help much.

  • @Nitrous0x O, that's too bad, the site was cool! I was only there once, and was going to go there again. Maybe someone who downloaded all the tracks could get permission to upload them again.

  • @SpeedingHedgehog

    I think i downloaded all the tracks off his archive but that was a while back and i downloaded them on my old computer. I would have to dig threw my computer to find them. That's how i was able to recuperate the mp3 file of Space Queens.

  • @SpeedingHedgehog

    Well i uploaded his whole entire soundtrack, so check the vid description for the link.

  • @Nitrous0x Thanks, d/ling soundtrack now

  • Comment removed

  • I love this song

  • Fav'd. Hey, this is SonofX51 from SH! Hey man!

  • LOL! Glad you liked it Sonofx51. ^^

  • Very nice for only a conceptual song!

  • ^_^ Yeah it is.

  • when i download the song the windows media doesnt play the song

  • weird... do you want me to give you a mirror link?

  • Let's get this straight.

    ALL SONIC MUSIC IS AWESOME

    Doesn't matter whether it was made in '91 or '09. It is ALL awesome. And this song is definitely one of the best. Long live Jun Senoue.

  • @WritersBlah

    I agree with you. i love quite a few of Jun Senoue's songs!

  • I agree, at least none of it was made, with bagpipes and a drunken composer.

  • Lex : WROOOOOONG!

    Any Sonic music is Sonic music.

    Cry somewhere else, fake Sonic fan.

  • Well, you got that right, your statement is WROOOOOONG!, I agree, couldn't agree more!

  • whose statement is wrong lol? kinda confused in the way you worded your post.

  • jubolito

  • @jubolito Mainstream punk sounds like an oxymoron :D

  • @NElTOKAKADU it sounds more like a Moxy moron, hahaha!

  • Awesome music.

    What probably was the greatest Sonic game cancelled. Sad, really.

    Great news though, the PC version has just had all resources (except the engine) dumped. Yes, even the levels, someone has made a level viewer for them too.

  • Yeah, i know i saw that! Awesome stuff! I got to view Crystal Frost in Fisheye. Dude i really wonder if that anonymous person who dumped them was Ofer Alon because isn't he supposed to be the only person who owns the Sonic X-treme editor? It makes sense don't it.

  • and you fail if you just came on here to tell me this.

  • it's your opinion, so im down with that but explain how exactly it's awful? i guarantee you won't answer either.

  • you clearly dont know what what makes music and plus sonic's soundtracks have varied in different styles so i don't see how this doesn't fit sonic.

  • you clearly dont know what what makes music and plus sonic's best soundtracks have generally been funk, hip-hop, pop, new-jack swing, electronica, jazz, and rock oriented with a generally upbeat, quick tone. This is just random slogging electronic noise.

  • you must have some piece of sh*t speakers then

  • I wasn't listening to it on speakers, and please, it's fucking low quality Sega Saturn music, don't act like it's a symphony orchestra we're talking about.

  • Sega Saturn music was CD quality music jack ass, also this was not meant for the Sega Saturn but the PC version and please no more replying back unless it's coherent if not i'll mark you as spam as you originally were marked as

  • And you misunderstand what I said. I said it was low quality Sega Saturn music, not that the Sega Saturn was only capable of low quality music. And at the time of the game's creation there wasn't going to be a PC version so obviously the music was meant for the Saturn. And uh oh! A spam threat!!

  • @Fabio254

    Wow i just saw this comment and yes there was going to be a PC version of Sonic X-treme. It went through development hell and SEGA was having a hard time deciding which consoles they should have released the game on and what they stuck with was a Sega Saturn and PC version. Project Condor being the Saturn version and Chris and Ofer's PC version.

  • This really doesn't help the music's case at all then, as one would think they'd be able to produce better quality of music than this for the PC.

  • @Fabio254

    /face palm, this is not an official track of the game, Chris made it to go with his video's that you see on youtube, this is merely conceptual music. Howard Drossin was going to do the official soundtrack of the game but never made a piece for it since the game was canceled.
