Sonic 2 - Aquatic Ruin Zone (2009) - Remake

[gpoop23]

I think that one day, Sega will make a Sonic game with real world environments, exact replicas of their real counterparts, as levels. And this will be in it.

[supermax110]

@gpoop23 Well, they HAVE made a game like that, but not with this song in it. It's Sonic Unleashed. :P

[gpoop23]

@supermax110 That game imitated real world places, which was good, but imagine if you could "import" a real location into a video game and actually play that location. Either way, this song wasn't in it.

[supermax110]

@gpoop23 OH, now I get what you mean! That would be pretty cool. :D

[MrSonic699]

Please tell me what software you used for this. Perhaps EWQL Symphonic orchestra vst?

[45tailsfan]

in 0:30 we jump to aquatic ruin zone good future with its epic music

[XericHedge]

You should post your work on Sonic Retro for use in Sonic 2HD !!!!

[PersonalJesus97]

@XericHedge s2hd is dead bro

[zimmedon]

@PersonalJesus97 Not true. Team S2HD announced successful integration of the game engine and audio engine last month. They are now working out some issues with DirectX.

You have to understand that this project is being built from the ground up in the C++ programming language. They are not using any third party engines but rather creating their own specially tailored to S2HD's needs without unnecessary bulk. It is VERY time consuming but will result in a much better product in the end.

[XericHedge]

Totally Awesome !!!!

[emiblindside]

It seems you adore sonic composers. me too

[RisingSun2007]

Oh. . .My. . .GOD *dies from pure awesomeness of this remix*

[AcherusKnight]

Aquatic Ruin Zone - Act 2000

[galaxyxgamer]

someone said this doesn't look like the aquatic zone... WTF ITS BETTER THAN AQUATIC ZONE:D

[data9k]

AWESOME, what VST, samples used?

[j0a0a7]

Sega hire this dude for the ost sonic 2 hd remake

[MrShayno97]

There's an inside and outside part and in the end you find the treasure and leave to a peaceful waterfall.

[matbob199411]

Really, you should make Launch Base Remix!

Such a nice song!

[usernameissean]

Beautifully creative transition into the remix via the special stage

[samoiomn]

Looks like africa :D

[georgesyoussef2]

My ears orgasmed when I heared this remix! Please do more Yuzo Koshiro! Use the Korg M1 sounds for Streets of Rage.

[Arthasu]

Ultra Awesome!!!

[X5Exotic]

FLYING BATTERY FTW!

[pepmiman]

That doesn't really look like Aquatic Ruin Zone.

[jriley1992]

Put it on 720p, it sounds even more incredible.

[matheusnomad]

Esta musica combina com o meu pais Brasil !!!

This song fits my country Brazil! :-D Nice music !!

(google translate )

[bluemaverick007]

@matheusnomad realmente,combina mesmo com o brasil então...

indeed,it combines with Brazil the start then ...

[masorick]

Bravo pour le choix des instruments, on se croirait vraiment dans les tropiques.

[PhoenixAlexis]

Aquatic never got me- it was always chemical planet or mystic cave.

[ShenSaiya]

YOU CHEATER!!!!!! You used Chaos Emeralds to enhance this song, ADMIT IT! XD

[JAMESELAIR]

These remakes sound incredible, can you do Launch base and wing fortress

[ziribai]

hey! this is amazing, as always. Can you please let me know what are the VST's you used? Thanks

[powersonic0123]

This renember me the Brazil!

[TFWC88]

WOOOOOOWWWW!!!! awesome!!! I am featuring this on my music radio show...

[SRPC21]

Would love this theme in Sonic Adventure 3

[ChrisLacy1990]

After listening to your music, imagine how awesome would it be if Pixar collaborated with Sega to create a major motion picture for Sonic the Hedgehog? They could use the comic books as their foundation and go more in-depth on how the rivalry between Sonic and Robotnik all started and build from there adding in Tails, Knuckles, Shadow and possibly Amy Rose. This would be a dream project for all Sonic fans to see.

[dannysimion]

Wow!! What a great and awesome rendition of one of my favorite sonic 2 stage BGMS! Ahh, what a great day and find this is!! Olivier, you are officially my favorite artist of the day!! So going to post this on my facebook!

[sakruei]

beautiful

[ElAullidoDeLaNada]

AWESOME

[arpee9216]

I love it. I feel so nostalgic!

[TheNuctis]

Very awesome ! The greatest version I've heard !

[another15]

AWESOME!

[kinneylicious]

this is amazing. love.

and i saw your comment to another person - i would LOVEEE to hear streets of rage remakes. any single level from the first one would make me happy.

[AtheistBrit]

OMG there aren't enough words to describe this EPICNESS!!! <3 <3

[JPetroSS]

AMAZING!!

[RoyalHustler09]

Dear God, this remix is OUTSTANDING!!!

[ScottQB4]

Now watch as I grab it by the balls! Crikey! Me arm!

[Melchior82]

[Godzilla2000X]

Not bad! Its definitely something different.

[sonicfan23]

so so awesome...

[KENNYPWNAGE]

Do you do Sonic and Knuckles Requests?

[TheKeroMs]

o_o I wonder if they play stuff like this at the Caribbeans? It fits it to well.

[luiekang]

Wow, this is pretty bad.....ass!!!!

[eddylugia]

you and dummeh are the best sonic songs remixers of all times... Great work! :D

[SterlingAMV]

Well, to be fair, the release date was 1992, but the Song was made in 1991, so you're right in both ways

[SSJSonicguy]

where is this?

[Riveascor]

Everything but the eletric bass thing is great.

[thelegendwarrior100]

Very jungly, yet forestry... Nice performance. Are you planning to do Sonic 4 remixes?

[Bikendi100]

dey should USE DIS SONG IN SOARIN FOR REAL, THE GAME WOULD BE 1000 TIMES BETTA XD

[Rhocha08]

Beautiful

[animalover82]

holy crap :D this is amazing X) i love what you did

[KatieGoLucky]

I think I just jizzed myself @_@

[smercuryfangrl9]

This sounds awesome! If they ever made 3d remakes of the old Sonic games, or made a game with this as a hidden level, they should hire you to be the composer! Great job :D

[ubergrau]

0:30

[Chrisman7878]

@ubergrau is boss

[SuperShadow781]

@ubergrau its like it goes from Sonic to Avatar

[RWDebara]

You should try Sky Sanctuary Zone :)

[Zeraphalanx]

I love the scenery with the music it just makes it that more believable.

[niggyd32z]

love the scenery =) great remake too

[ElishibaThompson]

freaking awesome!

[cruzerdoozer12]

oh god this is my favorite song in all sonic games! i wish i had money so i can pay you man, is there anywhere i could download this?

[LuigiTailsPrower]

2 people here are just jealous. They WISH they were as awesome as you.

[janofam]

BEAUTIFUL, JUST BEAUTIFUL!!

Sega should be giving you a job in 3, 2, 1...

[maugos]

Beautiful remix, but now I have to pee!

[almighty702]

PURE AWESOME!!!!! MAKES ME PROUD TO BE HISPANIC

[BARONPENDRAGON]

FING ACE :D

[LicenciadoRaulVarela]

Nice!

[sonicfanatic4949]

This is so refreshing, I'm tired of seeing the cliche techno bullshit remix

[themole90]

ubergrau, you take requests?

[ubergrau]

@themole90 Sometimes, but it has to be something I really want to do. If you have a really good idea... Do you like the music of Street of Rage (1-2), GoldenAxe 1-2, of course Sonic 1-3 even Goldeneye64? Any song in these games, I can take suggestion easily, but in other games I'm hard to convince lol

[woog757]

@ubergrau Where do you learn how to do this stuff???

[BloodMasterLink]

@ubergrau what about the music from too humans death sequence?

[hihosh1]

@ubergrau I will not let up, I would still like to hear an orchestration of the main theme of bwings from you Ubergrau. I have two examples of covers of the song, one was an orchestration done a while ago ht__tp://w__ww.newgrounds.c__o­m/audio/listen/281203 (yes I requested this one) and this one ht___tp://ww__w.youtube.c__om/­watch?v=zgreVuULgOU&feature=re­lated I would like to hear one of your orchestral style versions of one of my and many other peoples' classic childhood game.

[Darkproducer]

@ubergrau In that case, you should totally do the Boss music from SoR 1 or 2, or the Bar theme from SoR 2 :)

[chinacan21]

@ubergrau hey bro what program are you using..? this sounds like a really good music program... i would like to make some nice latin beats or sumthin

[ZeddKing1]

@ubergrau PLEEEASE DO HYDROCITY ZONE 1&2 FROM SONIC 3. PLEEEEEASE!!

[AnonCaptainAwesome]

@ubergrau Freezy peak banjo and kazooie.

[ZacJackleReala]

@ubergrau Could you do a "Go Straight" remix from Bare Knuckle 2 (Streets Of Rage 2)?

[AtheistBrit]

@ubergrau I LOVE Streets of Rage 1&2! Could you remix anything from 2? Particularly Shiva's theme at the end? <3

[Pandemonnio]

@ubergrau Entonces.. Podrías hacer algunos del Sonic 3D Blast de Genesis?.. No encuentro ningun remix ni covers de esas melodías.. ^^

Then .. You could do some of Sonic 3D Blast of Genesis? .. I can not find any remix or covers of those melodies.. ^ ^

[deiuos]

@ubergrau Ice Cap Zone or Flying Battery Zone. Would be epic, eitherway.

[flaco3188]

@ubergrau Got any SoR? lol, I'd love to hear your take on such a bumpin' soundtrack

[Crazep0per]

@ubergrau If you are still taking suggestions, I would love to hear a rendition of Go Straight from Streets of Rage 2 or In The Bar from the same game! 8D

[NeonGrapes2000]

@ubergrau What about Zelda?

[freezycold]

@ubergrau Please do Streets of Rage....if you could get that 90's vibe right I would die.

[kips4life]

@ubergrau I got one for you, Doomsday Zone in S3&K. If you don't want to do that, try Lava Reef Act 1 or 2.

[Ganmapache]

Amazing... very beautiful...

[LatinaAmante]

0:36 :)

[DjimonMoz]

This makes for an excellent salsa track! haha It's amazing what a simple remix/remake can do! *.* iLike

[TEHSMISH]

sega need to higher this guy to do there music

[Zuxilbaja]

En tant que fan des Sonic sur megadrive, je dis bravo! Vraiment, rien à redire, c'est su.per.

[twibkidx]

i dont see any enemies! lol

[AnsaNail]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!

[themole90]

Anyway you guys would be willing to teach me how you do this stuff? !

[GodBlessedVideo2]

Did you have your own orchesta??? It's freaking AWESUMMM

[ubergrau]

@GodBlessedVideo2 Haha not really, it's mostly midi and software... I wish I had real instruments, beside flute!

[elandyp]

@ubergrau what software do you use? I use FLstudio9 to make my Sonic remixes.

[AzuroMasurao]

Wow...I'm in awe. This remix is just beautiful.

[german199denuevo]

awesome

[WesWillson]

Simply wonderful

[4methyst]

Well done. You got SEGA's eye. Just seen a blog post about you ;)

[LevantineR1]

You don't get nearly enough attention and praise for these videos.

[roaroftiger]

fico legal

kkk parece samba

[GuessIIIwho]

Je vais pas mentir: j'ai toujours eu du mal avec les remix des fabuleuses musiques de ces années.

Et franchement, tu réussis bien tes coups =) Ca me procure les memes bonnes sensations et bons souvenirs que lorsque j'écoute l'original!

Sisi j'insite, tu rock.

[ubergrau]

@GuessIIIwho

Hey merci beaucoup! Quel compliment! Je voulais conserver la même émotion que dans l'original, dans ce remix-ci! Ce que j'aime des remakes c'est de se rappeler un air (vieil air) et l'effet que ça fait, c'est tellement bizarre!

[ZacJackleReala]

@ubergrau If you do take requests (And this is from a kid who is still growing up with Sonic) There was one Sonic song I would love to hear you remix... if it is no trouble, could you remix Green Grove Zone from Sonic 3D Blast (Genesis) if you are not too busy Mister? :) Thanks very much.

[QCDeViLMaN666QC]

@GuessIIIwho exactement,moi aussi les remix ses pas trop mon fort surtout pour les music de jeux

mais cest remix a lui n'enleve pas la magie et l'essence meme de la music original ses sa qui est grandiose 0.o

[WizzyWhipitWonderful]

Congratulations. This is another great work, and successful video.

[RoHiSakk]

You really did a excelent job here! This is one of my favorite songs of Sonic, and now it's even more xD

5/5

[VGMusicMaker]

wow this is amazing it blows any of my songs away .. haha thanks for becoming a source of inspiration for me now cause i'm gonna subscribe

[progamer2009]

Ancient Paradise, anyone?

[silverpandaz]

this was really nice! I hope you do more sonic remakes, just like your other ones were really epic! ^^

[Crazep0per]

OverClocked Remix would kill to have this wonderful piece of orchestral magic on thier site! Hell! SEGA would hire you upon hearing the first seconds of this song! I suggest you should send it to SEGA and see what they say. You have some hell of a carrer as a music composer in your future! Awesome job on this remix. The ending finale made me shed tears. :)

[TheJeli125]

@Crazep0per An administator at the sonic forums put this mix in the sonic generations thread.

They might ask to use it you never know!

sorry if anyone has seen this

[CTFievel]

Honestly, before I heard this, the Aquatic Ruin Zone rarely ever came to mind, but after I first heard this, I have wanted to play Sonic 2 solely to get to this level. Your work is excellent.

[ubergrau]

@CTFievel Wow, thank you!

[lukethefluke7]

These remixs are too good to just be sitting here on youtube, You need to sent these to sega.

[ubergrau]

@lukethefluke7 Thanks! I'm sure Masato Nakamura would like to hear this, as long as he knows that it is a tribute to his work. But 8000 views/listens is already so much more than I expected XD.

[justiceforallonearth]

awesome !!!!!

5/5 faved, and subbed

[KingKombat95]

I could imagine this in Sonic 4....

[TheDoctorUK]

Isn't that very last low note on string just taken from any episode of Lost? I loved the whole thing. Why the hell haven't they just remade the whole Sonic trilogy with orchestral soundtracks? Why!!??

[princeraposo]

=O

f*cking awesome!

[josefMAGIC]

This is one of the most beautiful remixes I have ever seen :)

[BuzzsawtheHedgehog]

Beautiful high-def video! I think Sega and Sonic Team would be proud of your remixes.

[RioEllington]

I came. :)

[soni4126]

that was a beautiful transition from the videogame into the scenic views.

[slam422]

Just out of curiosity; have you ever done one for Ice Cap? ...I'm not making a request for it; I"m just asking

[japstoryeditor]

This is the business!!!

[Sluecey]

Magical

[D00medNinja]

You are just plain amazing! You should compose for Sega!!

[Qwazin]

I forgot this was my favourite Sonic theme. You just reminded me. Fantastic work

[shawnspaz16]

God. They should have people like you compose for Needlemouse.

[thenacanoroc]

hahaha oh man this is so awesome, GREAT job!

[InterRage]

All i can say is wow. never did like this song. I'm just amazed by your composition of it. Great sounds.

[sonicfan23]

i have to say tho... absolutely inspiring and amazing to me hearing this. I need pro recording stuff to do shit like this. You should check out my videos. I have potential but I dont have the equiptment. Please make more Sonic covers!

[sonicfan23]

sadly you made a mistake... Aquatic Ruin Zone was composed in 1992 not 1991 :( other than that really awesome. =D

[InternationalBoy]

This song rules all

[jazzmunky]

Great version!

[Escobar9300]

Really good work.

[MuhMuhMamaLuigi]

This... man. I would say this is an amazing remix, but that can't even describe half of it.

This seriously sent a shiver down my spine. Thank you for making this great rendition of one of my favorite songs.

[randomomen]

i thought the style was familiar and then at 0:56 it said remixed by olivier sirois i went "ha i knew it was" it has that same orchestral flare that his green hill zone remix has, good very good work

[ubergrau]

lol that's nice!

Thanks!

[bakuriu007]

I have a little question. At 0:54 sec there is a song like a flute. What is it, or witch vst do you use.

[ubergrau]

The instrument is Shakuhachi, It can be found in the Colossus library (East West).

[dearestjen]

Beautiful just Beautiful! It must be in The new project needlemouse game!

[naromixo]

Awesome awesome awesome!! <333

[CaramelMamiChula]

that song sure do sound very latin-influnced.mixed with mambo,salsa,merengue,latin freestyle,cumbia and samba,lol!

[VellyVel1986]

(Dancing) OMFG... This is ABSOLUTELY GREAT... And the Video Fits Very Well with the Orchestra... I Can't Wait for More... KEEP up The Good Work my Friend... ;)

[Gtalvim90]

Superb!

[stgnebo]

This is so perfect, you really gave justice to the original tune. I'm looking forward to seeing you orchestrate more music from the Sonic games!

[RuleSeventySix]

Why doesn't this have more views? This is amazing.

[boneshaker66]

U should do a Ice cap zone orchestrated

[boneshaker66]

The best shit I ever heard in all my shitty life !!!! LOVE IT !!!!!!

[cubiana]

this shit gives me goosebumps

[Jayhawker30]

1:57 - 2:17

I just love that ambiance. Damn, the whole thing is fantastic.

[dummeh]

This is awesome. I love how it's faithful to the original.

[SonicTweaker]

Oh my god, this is absolutely majestic. Fantastic work!

[UhgeneIgnorian]

Wow I like the scenery touch. this is nice.

[UltimateBiosparkX]

Olivier Sirois realy did his thing when he made this joint. Very nice remix!!

[Velocify]

You rock

[menergy125]

this needs more views and more 5 stars
