I like the pitch bends on the lead, especially in the intro, that really give it a harmonica-like feel. Otherwise its a pretty plain song, not much to say about it honestly. - 152nd: Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (SMS) - Aqua Lake Zone Composer: Masafumi Ogata, Naofumi Hataya Score: 53 (6.4), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (SMS) (6/7) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGde4z9FVoU" data-time=" Intro is pretty cool, and then it starts doing the funny boring repetition thing for a while... but when the melody comes in at 0:20 it actually interacts with the repetition pretty well. I really like the one channel that adds a little bit of depth in anticipation of the melody coming in at 0:18 as well, makes that lead in really cool. 0:58 is where the song really shines though; the melody line here is really cool. Still, overall the song is too much of the bad kind of repetition for me to like it much more than I do. - 151st: Sonic CD (JPN/PAL) - Tidal Tempest "P" mix Composer: Masafumi Ogata Score: 54 (6.4), Sonic CD (JPN/PAL) (28/28) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eRAz_AhOx0" data-time=" Oh cool now that we've hit a Past song I can talk about the RF5C164 chip! While my favorite sound chips are mostly the wavetable synth ones, (using preset waveforms programmed into the chip, stuff like the Famicom Disk System 2C33, the Namco 163, or the TruboGrafx-16's HuC6280) I am also a huge fan of PCM synth chips (using sample clips, basically like trackers use) and that includes what Sonic CD uses for the past themes. Lots of really cool samples used here to really give it a prehistoric feeling that only a few of the past themes actually really go for, but I feel like this song is kinda underdeveloped, even for a "prehistoric water area" feel. More of the slow kind of repetition that I don't like, though some of the kind I do like appears as well like the arps around 0:48. <cite>banshiryuu posted [p:929124609] in deo listen...
