banshiryuu 02/22/20 2:33:42 AM #244: | 8th: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 - Angel Island Zone Act 2 Composer: Tatsuyuki Maeda, Sachio Ogawa, Masanori Hikichi Score: 89/100 (8.4), Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (1/17) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JHSUSwcUsw If Chrome Gadget was Maeda layering creating beauty, Angel Island Act 2 is Maeda layering creating madness. What he (once again, probably. watch literally none of these end up being maeda lmao) did to Kashima-or-Sawada-or-whoever-the-fuck-composed-the-Act-1-who-knows's already extremely good masterpiece is incredible, to say the least. The CONSTANT switch between different voices and melodies really instills the panic of being in a forest literally burning down to the ground around you, and the bouncy nature of the song in general really helps support that feeling. And then those rolls come back at 0:43 YES I LOLVE THE ROLLS SO MUC H the rolly intro was my favorite part of Act 1 and now they're in the climax of the song augh. The part that I think gets me the most as far as voice swapping goes is definitely the part right after that at 0:56, just the way countermelody starts and it just starts layering itself on top of the melody over and over and then at 0:59 the both work against this other scale synth that comes in and THIS ALL HAPPENS IN FIVE FRIGGIN SECONDS. This song is so high-speed in all these artificial ways but thats SO COOL this song's so damn good guys for real. I hate that I love songs more than this because there is just so much cool stuff in this song. Incredibly good. - And thus, the first of the four heavy, heavy hitters falls with two quick ones in a row, and four of the last five eliminations. Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is a great, great soundtrack, and together with the still-alive Sonic & Knuckles is definitely an OST to be remembered... so no surprise that it still gets the love that it does! And now I understand it all! This one's unique because of the extra composer wackiness with Michael Jackson's involvement and the beta songs and what-not... what a story behind this one. Hopefully someday we'll know the full story, but until then... I'll keep on listening! 132nd (58, 6.7): Launch Base Zone Act 2 131st (58, 6.7): Launch Base Zone Act 1 130th (58, 6.7): Endless Mine Zone 124th (59, 6.7): Balloon Park Zone 108th (60, 6.7): Desert Palace Zone 102nd (61, 6.8): Marble Garden Zone Act 1 101st (61, 6.8): Marble Garden Zone Act 2 88th (62, 6.8): Carnival Night Zone Act 2 65th (65, 7.0): Carnival Night Zone Act 1 57th (67, 7.1): Hydrocity Zone Act 1 37th (71, 7.3): Azure Lake Zone 31st (72, 7.3): Hydrocity Zone Act 2 28th (73, 7.4): Angel Island Zone Act 1 12th (85, 8.2): IceCap Zone Act 1 11th (85, 8.2): IceCap Zone Act 2 9th (87, 8.3): Chrome Gadget Zone 8th (89, 8.4): Angel Island Zone Act 2 - And now that we're in the top 7.... only two zones remain!
