There's two factors that importantly drive the differences in music of Sonic CD.
In Japan, Sega's music crew enjoyed using Hip Hop and House beats for their games on the Sega CD, as well as authentic synth. Game No Kanzume is proof of that as well.
In the US, the soundtrack was highly influenced likely more through Sonic AM, the cartoon going through the US animation trend of including more "extreme and serious" themes to action and adventure based cartoons.
@estobern0 I think it's better because I think it sounds better. US version is good, very good even, but not at the level of this right here. In my opinion, of course.
@estobern0 NOBODY think's it's better just because it's japanese, idiot. stop assuming you know what people's motivations are and realize that people have differing opinions.
@estobern0 Problem? I find the US version to be lacking in the "WOW" factor. Well, with some exceptions. I just like the Japanese version a bit more. Because of delivery, not nationality. Hate me if you will, but just so you know, difference in opinion and or reasons for said opinion are not any grounds for hating anyone. Chill out, caps lock!
@TheSoldierSaints i think estobern0 was making a point in your favor. he's kinda just showing how silly it is to say that the japanese version is worse just because it's japanese. it's like sarcasm. that said, personally i prefer american, but i can see why people would prefer the japanese version
@Snipe694 Yeah, I guess. I guess I should've thought that over more before I replied. I guess I should notice that more with people who type in caps lock. More times than not, they're just trolling or joking.
@estobern0 its not because its JP its mostly because it sound WAY better than the US version and plus its funky, i hated the US version it has not emotion.
@MrSuperHeatran i just re-listent too it and it doesn't feel like u racing against metal sonic, its sounds good but don't fit the situation , i didn't like most US version of all the stages only "sonic boom" its the best track on sonic cd but this is my opinion , everyone has 1 and different taste.
@MOUPIMOUPI Sarcasam! Good job! is this your first time? Okay Hmm lets see, what's the only part of sonic cd that made it into sonic generations? The metal sonic boss part. which part of the WHOLE game is most memorable? the metal sonic boss.
@deadstrider okay hold on a fucking minute there boy. first of all, nobody knows if metal sonic is all there is to stardust speedway in sonic generations and who the fuck cares actually? this isn't generations we're speaking about, it's sonic cd. which has two acts that can have a bad future and a single, 30-second long race with metal sonic.
@MOUPIMOUPI wow dude... he just said it made the boss fight feel more like an epic battle than with the other songs you wouldn't want a happy joyous song playing that kills the mood would you?
@werewolfsfury no i wouldn't, that's why good futures exist. GOD you idiot. the us version doesn't fit the dystopian, blade runner-like future stardust speedway has.
@MOUPIMOUPI you do know the good future music won't play in a bad future area right? you only get a good future if you get the time stones or blow up the robot generator. and I do feel it that both songs fit in but I guess my opinion is less valid then yours
@werewolfsfury yes. except if you get a good future in stardust speedway, the good future theme will still play during the race with metal sonic. let's be honest. the us themes for stardust speedway's futures are completely unfitting.
I come from Europe. Everyone there prefers techno/electronic to rock music. Hence the euro pal version used the japanese soundtrack lol. makes sense amirite
After playing sonic 3K then sonic CD, stardust speedway(Past) makes me think of a sonic 3 stage. such great feelings.
