Karls Sleepless Update

Written after everyone has gone to bed, due to me taking a nap i wont sleep for a while so i thought I'd give you my opinion on the situation as of late,
Its been about a month or so that I finally left my job and to be honest i feel much better as a person for it, calmer and less likely to start a argument.
Oh sure i do get annoyed and all that but I haven't really been that angry as of late.

I will blame my job for causing me unnessacary stress i will admit but that doesn't account for my actions during that time so first off i apologise for my anger and unnessicary arguements i have caused, i have my faults as do we all.

Er kinda rambling atm let me get my bearings er.....

Oh I know
Lets examine some remix albums
Ok im gonna begin with my first introduction into remixs with:

Yes the Project chaos album created for Sonic 3 And Knuckles for Sega Genesis/Megadrive

All the artwork is pretty nice i must admit although the cover has the sonic and knuckles icon but all in all nice.





Now to the Tracks:

1:- SnappleMan - Sonic the Hedgehog and Knuckles (Title)
This starts with the classic "saaaaaayyyy gaaaa" we all know and loved followed by a pretty nice guitar riff for the Sonic and Knuckles theme a nice start.

2:- KungFuChicken! - The Wait is Over! (Data Select)
Very nice sythasized version of the data screen which i always enjoyed in the first place to be honest which slows down to the come back at 1.27 very nice to the ears.

3:-Rexy - Divided from Grace (Angel Island)
A nice peaceful and soft start to what we all know will become a great adventure, and this remix shows this off perfectly with what sounds like synthasized trumpets and guitars and xelophones but certainly a great remix to begin with and it almost makes you feel like you go through all the levels in a way and my fav part is 3.40 point really love it with a slow fade out really a great start

4:- Daniel Baranowsky - Caution-Echidnas May Eat Your Brain (S3 Boss 1)
A great theme to remix i always liked this, the original sounds kinda micheal jacksony in a way.
Where as this remix kinda feels more spacey and otherworldly still very nice to the ears well done is all i can say

5:- housethegrate - Walk on Water (Hydrocity)
House... he truely does walk on water with this remix starting off with the guitar riff being just groovy and playing act 1 with such fun but its when he reaches act 2 at 2.40 that my love for this remix blossems he turns a underwater theme into what can only be called a feista, truely incredable.

6:- Daniel Baranowsky Knuckleduster (Marble Garden)
Oh boy this is where i originally skipped the entire album up to robotnik radio
lyrics good when you get a singer like Jillian Goldin, but when its someone who isn't, its abit off putting.
After a long time i grew to enjoy this track as it is, fun as hell apart from the singing i really enjoy the remix anyway this one is a grower i'll say that but how can you denie the bongos? also i love the piano ending so bittersweet.

7:- Hadyn - Three Ring Nightfall (Carnival Night)
This remix is really nice much like all synth songs before it and it to me makes me feel like im in a circus with the xylophone bits all in all a great song.

8:- Hetcenus - That Freezing Feeling (IceCap)
This remix... so many hate it.
it is another grower to be fair.
I really don't see the hate for it to be honest, there have been millions of icecap remixes but none have actually made you feel the snow and ice around you like this remix does.
This makes me imagine sonic struggling up a cold mountain while tails tries to help him.
besides I believe this remix has other sonic game themes hidden in it as well as ice caps theme.
Truely powerful piano playing that will make you want to climb under your blanket for warmth.

9:- Gecko Yamori - Elevator Music (Launch Base)
This remix is odd but its a nice chill out song doesnt have the same feel of "you have to get going"
But the original did have it tell you "go" every second of the way.
wanna chill out i say start with this song.

10:- GaMeBoX - Robotnik Radio (S&K Boss 1)
I really like how they made all the piano and other instruments sound like background
another chill out mix love the soundeffects being put into the mix it just really sets the mood just right.

Ok thats all of sonic 3 so thats disc 1 out of the way now for disc 2

11:- GaMeBoX - iMushroom (Mushroom Hill)
This mix almost sounds like its from the game im totally serious.
but then trails off on its own and we just get to enjoy the fun also this much like angel island mix likes to mix up the styles and remind you of the levels to come and hell even reminds you of knuckles comes to join us with the slow fade as the flying battery appears.

12:- SnappleMan - Dead Batteries (Flying Battery)
Oh god our full Snappleman remix and his guitar synth combo
I followed this guy and he truely is a master of combining these 2 instruments and creating a badass remix.
This one is quite cool totally reminds you how hard this level was (atleast i found it tough,looking for master rings and all that)

13:- BrainCells - Live at the Sandopolis (Sandopolis)
If the metal equals how tough the level was then this remix is perfect.
total headbanger this one so badass. even the orcastra segway at 1.10 brings us back to the awesomeness. That sand is rising above my head I'm gonna drown in sand if i dont get out of this pyramid.

14:- Rexy, Hetcenus - Beneath the Ashes (Lava Reef)
Another piano piece
This one is still growing on me.
But either way its great piano playing and that in itself is awesome.

15:- Kanjika - The Secluded Stronghold (Hidden Palace)
...wow.....
I.... wow....

16:- Kanjika - Breathtaking Vision (Sky Sanctuary)
....*is gobsmacked and can't even think properly*
....wow....
amazing....wow...

17:- BrainCells, SnappleMan - Scrambled Eggman (Boss)
love the laugh after the guitar riff cuts off.
Not gonna say much but this i pretty much headbang throughout cause its so awesome.

18:- Joker - Before the Storm (Death Egg)
An odd one i'll admit but a nice relaxing and chill remix before this game's climax.
Song really does what it says it is the calm before the storm.

19:-SnappleMan - Malicious Fingers (Final Boss)
..What's that noise?...oh its the deathegg theme,
di do dodo dido di do dodo didodo......whoa guitar O.O
Then the synth @.@ (after which both headbanging and air guitar is in attendance)
This is Snappleman at his best and the impending danger can truely be felt.
Only sonic can turn from being chased into a chasing after.
After all he must recover the master emerald.

20:-SnappleMan, Ashane, norg - The Doomsday (Doomsday Zone)
Where Snappleman gets help from his buddies from the dwelling of duels site
...How can i describe how awesome this remix is to you?
... The only way is for you to listen to it yourself
Now imagine sonic as supersonic flying between asteroids to chase Dr Robotniks ship and save the master emerald.
Epic now?
(also many mention there being a judas preist riff somewhere in either malicious fingers or doomsday if you figure out which one it is for me let me know)

21:- Red Tailed Fox - So Long and Thanks for All the... (S3 Credits)
A nice relaxing remix
After all you just saved angel island and recovered the master emerald
well done you did beat the game.
"Thank you for choosing the hedgehog way of life."

But we're not done now we go to the special bonus disc

1:- chthonic - Red Sphere, Blue Sphere (Special Stage)
Everyone remember how painfully tough these were to get the super emeralds
This remix is not painful however luckly with the synth there isnt any bad part to this remix
You could replace this with the actual theme and it'd fit perfectly.

2:- Rexy - Schumacher Bar (Competition Menu)
Anyone remember the 2-player levels? i only do because i wanted to try them out seeing as i loved the themes for the 2 player levels in sonic 2.
A piano mix, get used to that,alot of them on here are
this one perfectly replicates the feel of the original theme
And i get the reference to the grand prix racer Micheal Schumacher nice.

3:-Ross Kmet - Momentary Standstill (Azure Lake)
This one is a nice synth song that just just chills you out much like most synth songs in this remix project.
Great one to relax to.

4:- Ichitootah - Helium Stairways (Balloon Park)
piano again and this one is really nice then it breaks out the synth and changes into a totally different style remix which is very groovy.

5:-Hetcenus - Ivory Gadget (Chrome Gadget)
Poor Hetcenus can't catch a break seeing as many people dislike this track as well
I find this piece to be amazing and very beautiful now if you have seen what the level is like wouldn't you like to hear this song under that night sky?
I know I would.

6:- Joker - Heat Blur (Desert Palace)
A very well done synth song.
Well worth a listen

7:- jmr - Eternal Excavation (Endless Mine)
This song i could listen to all day it is a great remix which encompasses both piano and synth greatly.

8:- Rayza - Groove Basin (Azure Lake WIP)
Ah the wip tracks i remember how much of a pain they were converting yet they worked on my mp3 just fine @.@
Anyway groove basin starts off like your at the beach a nice peaceful scene.
This wip is incredable in my opinion Rayza needs to get to finishing this awesome tune.

9:- AkumajoBelmont - Water on the Dancefloor (Hydrocity WIP)
If this was finished this would be up in the same class as house the greats remix.
Seriously frigging awesome.
AkumajoBelmont please finish this remix.

10:-Hadyn - Heads Up for Tails (Final Boss)
This wip i used to have in the album between Malicous Fingers and The Doomsday
Its that good.
Please finish this Hadyn.

11:- Kanjika - Stranger to Closure (S3 Credits WIP)
Ever hear how people compare the Sonic 3 ending with Micheal Jacksons Stranger In Moscow.
Wow this remix litterally blurs the boundarys between them.
But wow the credits in orcastra? that is truely amazing.
Kanjika please finish this.

12:- GaMeBoX - Ice Cap 4 Life (IceCap WIP)
wow... this is amazing just as it starts then brings in the well known theme.
GaMeBoX finish this please.

13:- Kanjika - Hydrochill (Hydrocity WIP)
You can totally feel the slow under water feel from this track.
Even like how he just cuts it out. x3
Please finish this.

14:- Xenon Odyssey - Lava Passion (Lava Reef WIP)
Ah finally this mix
I loved this track so much i replaced the one that's in the main album with this wip
i love the saxaphone.
Xenon Odyssey for the love of all that is holy FINISH THIS.

And that my dear friends is all of the album.
I do hope you check it out here
or
