Dubbing Fans Take to Letter Campaign in Protest of 4Kids' Sonic X Music
Dreadknux posted a story in Fandom
The first episode of the US version of Sonic X aired over the last weekend on Fox Box, and since then there's been some negative reaction from American fans over the dubbing and editing choices that localisation company 4Kids has made. Now, there is an organised plan from pockets of the fanbase to send feedback on the music choices in the anime. Many fans have compared the US Sonic X dub with the Japanese-language original, and found a number of significant audio and script changes. The biggest of these is the music, of which the Japanese soundtrack has apparently been replaced entirely with a set of music seemingly picked or produced by 4Kids. A Sonic HQ post links to a forum topic on MoogleMB about the campaign, and how fans should approach it. Kulock writes: You can read the text in full below, but the idea from Kulock and other fans is to make sure that the feedback is submitted to 4Kids in a professional and respectful manner, without resorting to insults or immature threats. Hopefully this campaign can get its voice heard and in a polite and respectful manner. We'll let you know how this goes. -
A new chapter opens for SEGA's in-house sound and music production studio, 'Wave Master Co', as it announces that it will be creating two record labels to support its game soundtrack and pop music ambitions. The music production department, which has been responsible for developing the music for many SEGA game (including Sonic the Hedgehog titles), will start commercially releasing the SEGA game soundtracks it produces under the 'Wave Master Entertainment' label. 'Wave Master Entertainment' will also release soundtracks from various movies and anime, but it sounds like its focus will be on in-house SEGA projects. Interestingly, the second record label, 'Wave Master Artists', instead aims to pursue the mainstream J-pop market, with an aim to court popular Japanese artists and handle their new CD releases. To that end, SEGA announced that an agreement has already been concluded with Avex Distribution Co to begin work with some of their artists. The inital lineup includes Juria Matsuda, Hayabusa Jones, El Malo and Spinning Q Factor. The first titles under the 'Wave Master Artists' label are scheduled to release on October 1, while the initial soundtracks from 'Wave Master Entertainment' will launch from November 5. Source: SEGA

Community Interviews Community Interview: Damian 'Saxman' Grove Gets Musical
Andrew P posted a story in Interviews
Our second interview with Sonic Hacking Community (SHaC) webmaster, Damian 'Saxman' Grove, focuses on the community leader's interests in music, and his latest projects in that area. Beyond that, we discuss the new SHaC-owned newsletter, forum launches and other things. Sonic_Hedgehogs has the scoop. TSS: Hey, SH here with a second interview with our friend Saxman, hows it going? Saxman: Hey SH, it's going great, and I'm happy to be here! TSS: Thats great! ^_^ To give people who haven't read our first interview, tell us briefly who you are and what's your background. Saxman: Well, I'm from the old Sonic community, before SSRG even existed. I am usually credited as the "guy who kick-started the Sonic 'hacking' scene," which really it was a community effort. I created the first ROM hacking documentation for a Sonic game -- that was the Sonic 2 Hacking Guide. Later, I left SSRG, created a website called Sonic Hacking Community (known also as 'SHaC'), and recently I have been recording a bunch of songs -- both cover and original. I guess that sums up my basic identity in the community. TSS: Tell us about your music, isn't it true you're currently trying to get your music on the radio? Saxman: Yes, I have been in contact with several radio stations -- a couple in Maryland, one in Pennsylvania, one in Virginia, and one somewhere in Canada. When I get my recordings finished, I'm supposed to send a CD to the radio stations. One station may also interview me, which I thought was pretty cool when I first heard this from them. My songs are mostly easy-listening rock -- you know, the today's rock that people listen to when they don't like heavy metal, rap, or loud guitars. I wrote a song called "Without You" and it's quite popular among older adults. In fact, I have a demo of the song available at http://damiangrove.iuma.com/. It's incomplete, but it has the basic mood in there. My dad practically fell in love with the song and my mom had a hard time believing that I even wrote the song and all the parts to it myself. TSS: So will you be doing any Sonic themed songs in the future? Sorry, I had to ask! ^_^ Also, will you be releasing your own CD in the near future? Saxman: I thought about doing some Sonic-themed songs because that's what attracts most of the listeners in this community. Then again, I simply like the 80's music better than all the video game music! I would much rather cover songs from artists like Huey Lewis & The News, Billy Ocean, Van Halen and Ronnie Milsap, than I ever would covering video game songs. Although I must admit I like a lot of the songs on the Sonic CD US soundtrack. As far as releasing my own CD, I have actually made a CD containing a bunch of cover-version songs I did, as well as two songs I wrote. It contained 9 tracks, and was quite popular with the people that I have passed it along to. Many people have asked me to make them copies of it because they loved it so much. The songs that really grabbed the most attention were "The Heart of Rock & Roll" and "If This Is It". A CD containing nothing but original material probably won't be available for a few more years. TSS: I've also heard you're creating (or created) a newsletter at SHaC called the "SHaCY-Zine"? What's this about, is it about your site or kind of an online magazine? Saxman: SHaCY-Zine is a newsletter I created a little over a week ago. I've sent two issues out now. It contains information about news and events in the general Sonic secrets and hacking scene. It's a way to keep people up to date each week with what's going on basically. SHaCY-Zine went from a little less than 10 subscribers, to over 40 within the time that it's been issued. From the comments I have received on it, people seem to really be satisfied with the content it delivers. TSS: Do other people help work on it with you and how does one subscribe to this newsletter? Saxman: I'm the only one working on SHaCY-Zine. I figured it would be easier if it was under my full control. Only I know what kind of audience I want SHaC to appeal to, so rather than trying to make others understand what I want for SHaC, I decided to do it all myself. As far as subscribing, it's very easy. All one would have to do is e-mail me at '[email removed]', contact my AIM SN ([removed]), or contact me using my ICQ UIN ([removed]) and send me the e-mail address they want me to send SHaCY-Zine to. TSS: Tell us about your first issue, run us through what the articles were about and what its layout is like. Saxman: Well, at the moment, SHaCY-Zine is very simple and basic! This is because I don't want to make it stressful on myself to get an issue done for each week. I am thinking of ways to improve it's look and appeal. The topics discussed were the recent discoveries that were made by expert ROM hackers Esrael and Nemesis. It also mentioned the contest that Sonic Stadium was holding, as well as the new SHaC message boards. TSS: That'd be the Sonic Site Awards, for those who don't know ^^ Tell us about your brand new SHaC message boards - are these new to the site as a forum, or did you have a forum on SHaC before? Saxman: The new SHaC message board is called "The Freedom SHaCk". I named it that because most boards I've been to don't offer much freedom. Sonic-CulT offers a lot of freedom, but I always felt that the people were out of control at the Sonic-CulT forums. Me and Pachuka both decided to get rid of my forums that were part of his board, and get me a board of my own. With the help of Pachuka and Digital Xeron, I was able to get my board up. It doesn't have a skin to replace the default or anything. It's pretty basic looking right now, but it's slowly picking up I believe. I am just hoping that it does better than my many failed attempts to have a successful board in the past! The new forums have a much more simple URL this time -- http://www.shacnet.com/forums/. It makes it easier for those people who can't remember long URLs! TSS: What other projects do you have lined up for SHaC, anything big in the coming days? Saxman: For SHaC itself, there aren't really any new projects that I have planned at the moment. As far as anything else, I'm trying to finish a software program called "Sonic QX". It's a music editor and sequencer for Sonic ROMs on the Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive. I have no clue when it'll be done, but I'm hoping I can get it out as soon as I can get it finished with it. TSS: I wish you luck on SHaC and your several other great projects Saxman, thanks for a great informative interview! ^_~ Saxman: Well thank you SH!-

What songs by designers of the Sonic OSTs that aren't Sonic related do you like?
IHaveACaseOfSonicMania posted a topic in Sonic Chat
Is there a song by Crush 40, Cash Caah, Kellin Quinn, etc., that isn't for a Sonic game? I like Kellin Quinn's/Sleeping with Sirens' "Don't let the party die", it sounds like what would've happened if Shadow fought a titan in Sonic Frontiers. -
Sonic 3 Movie 'Live and Learn' Will Feature in Sonic 3 Movie, Johnny Gioeli Tells Sonic Stadium
Dreadknux posted a topic in Media
Crush 40 singer Johnny Gioeli has confirmed to the Sonic Stadium that the theme song to Sonic Adventure 2, Live & Learn, will feature in some capacity in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog 3 movie. Gioeli said that Paramount Pictures had "made a deal" for the "usage" of Live and Learn in the silver-screen sequel, but "to what extent of 'usage'... trailer, movie, marketing. I don't know. That's up to them." Rumours had circulated online as to whether or not the iconic theme, closely associated with Shadow the Hedgehog and Sonic's 10th Anniversary, would make it into the movie after Paramount posted a teaser on Friday that featured a hint of the song in the background. Gioeli certainly had fun on his social media channels with the message, "Hmmm… that song sounds familiar doesn’t it?" In recent days the singer also spoke to other Sonic channels on social media to confirm what he has told the Sonic Stadium. "All I know is the movie is going to be mind blowing," the musician told the Sonic Stadium. "And I’m so grateful to be a part of the journey regardless of how much of the song they use- a remix- a whatever. The Sonic fans / Crush40 fans are a massive part of my life. I want this for THEM not for me." Beyond the teaser trailer inclusion, Paramount has not yet commented or confirmed the use of Live and Learn in the movie, and in what form. Be it the original song, a remix, or an orchestrated piece by movie composer Tom Holkenborg, it's inclusion is certain to be an exciting prospect for long-time fans, particularly those who have been campaigning for the theme to feature since the release of Sonic 2. Sonic News Tips Credit: KingSonicFan134 Original Post Content: With the hint of Live and Learn playing in the background of the recent logo revealed on the second of February, Gioeli's statement does carry some credibility. Will it be blaring in the background in the final act of the film, taking us all back to our childhood with our little Dreamcasts (or GameCubes)? Or will it just be a little jingle in the background only 2 out of 99 people will notice? View full story- 14 replies

Once again, as with the previous two films, Junkie XL will return to compose the OST for Sonic the Hedgehog 3. Whether you like him or not, this was inevitable and continues the consistency found within the movie-verse. In other words, don't expect game music.

Tommy Tallarico 'Sonic and the Black Knight' Composer's Contributions Questioned
Dreadknux posted a topic in Games
Video game composer Tommy Tallarico's contributions to the Sonic and the Black Knight soundtrack have been put under the microscope this week, as allegations surface that claim works credited to the Video Games Live frontman were originally composed by others within his studio. A small group of netizens credited for researching and documenting the work of one Todd Dennis, a composer at Tommy Tallarico Studios, helped bring a demo tape of Dennis' to light that featured music from a 1998 PC game 'Adrenix' - which bears a striking resemblance to Sonic and the Knight's "The Cauldron", a track solely credited to Tallarico in 2009. The new discovery was published by Twitter account 'Sonic Music Facts', which itself has chronicled similar familiarities in other tracks from the game that have also been attributed to Tallarico. After posting comparisons last April regarding 'Molten Mine' and 'Great Megalith' with 1996's Black Dawn (a game whose music credits only mention Todd Dennis), the social media account shared music from 'Adrenix', adding, "This song appeared in one of Todd Dennis' demo reels, confirming that he's responsible for the song. This means that Tommy Tallarico didn't compose ['The Cauldron'] either." Tallarico's name is listed as the sole music credit for three songs on the Sonic and the Black Knight soundtrack (with Jun Senoue and the SEGA Sound Team working with the musician on two of these for the arrangement). With the origins of 'The Cauldron' allegedly unveiled, Sonic Music Facts concludes, "with this, we can finally confirm Tommy Tallarico did not compose any of the songs he is credited for on Sonic and the Black Knight." The Sonic claims follow the publication of a YouTube video by HBomberguy in 2022 that similarly dissected Tallarico's career in meticulous detail. The musician has not responded to the video, and has generally not been seen in the public space since the failure of his pet project, the Intellivision Amico console.

Sonic and the secret rings gallery music/special book unlockables
Maria.Sosori posted a topic in Games
Hi, I've been looking for files of the unlockable music you can listen to in SatSR. I want to complete my Sonic music collection (and also upload them to the internet archive for other people), but I'm having some trouble finding them. I've tried looking at Zophar's SatSR game rip, but the audio files don't have names I can easily identify them with. (Side note: I'm going to compare SatSR's OST to the game rip and see if I can find out which songs I'm missing [and their names].) I have the 'Worth a Chance - Acoustic Guitar' version and 'Worth a Chance - Piano', but I'm certain there are more goodies. I'm looking for files with names (like the two examples I just listed). Would be neat if someone could find files of the other special book unlockable content in SatSR, such as the cutscene files or the concept art. By the way, I'm also looking for the special "interactive archie comic" that came with the target edition of SatSR. Someone uploaded a full rip to Sonic Retro in 2015, but their file link is down, and because of how long it takes to verify an account there asking them if they still have the rip would be difficult. Does anyone else have a rip of it? Also: I have a zip of the cool little "Digital Treasure box" that the OST release came with. Just ask me if you want it ANOTHER SIDE NOTE: Is there a section on the Sonic Stadium that contains all the topics related to the games' OSTs? I'm certain there was a section for that, but I can't find it.-

When I hear a piece of Sonic music, it just feels different and distinct than any other rock/pop music. How is that so? I've always asked this question to myself ever since the first time I ever heard a piece of Sonic music. I've always guessed it was the tempo but that's CLEARLY not right. So what does make Sonic music feel...Sonic-y? FYI:this low quality picture is really big (I think that this was obvious)

I really like their well known songs like All Hail Shadow! and Sonic Heros. Idk if there's already a discussion of this topic. I'm new here

Final Horizon Get Ready to Rave With This New Sonic Frontiers Cyber Space DJ Mix
Dreadknux posted a topic in Games
If your work day needs a little bit of perking up today, then SEGA and Tomoya Ohtani have just the tonic for you. A new Sonic Frontiers 'Cyber Space DJ Mix' has dropped on the official Sonic YouTube channel, offering a brief selection of energetic tracks from the recently-released Final Horizon DLC that are all, as the kids would say, 'bangers'. Of course, if you've already played through Final Horizon and seen all that this bizarrely-frustrating expansion has to offer, you'll be more than familiar with the music that features throughout this video. But it's just very nice to have a curated set mixed together in a bitesize form, so you can listen along while you work or... something. The remixed tracks that feature include; Arrow of Time (remixed by Kanon Oguni) / Rumble Rave (Kenji Mizuno) / Wishes in the Wind (Tomoya Ohtani) / Dropaholic (Tomoya Ohtani) / Hype Street (Rintaro Soma). All killer songs that will surely help you get through your day! Original Post Content: View full story- 4 replies

Music Now You Can Enjoy This Live Arrangement of Sonic Superstars' Main Theme At Home
Dreadknux posted a story in Games
If you have been lucky enough to experience the incredible Sonic Symphony World Tour in your city, you'll remember that one of the surprise tunes in the set list was a live performance of the main theme from Sonic Superstars. If you've not been lucky enough to see the show yet though, SEGA has kindly shared a video of it so you can hear it from the comfort of your own home. Either way, everybody wins. SEGA calls this a "new arrangement" of the main theme but technically, if you attended the premiere Sonic Symphony shows in London mid-September, you'll have heard it there before the game even launched. Still, it is a different interpretation that leans heavy on Jun Senoue's trademark guitar and has the full backing of a symphonic orchestra, so you will definitely get a fresh kick out of this one. The video features clips of Sonic Superstars mixed in with footage from the Sonic Symphony World Tour performance that took place in Brazil recently. Check out Senoue's guitar solo in the middle of the song - that familiar sound will no doubt light up many faces of those who grew up playing Sonic Adventure. Sonic Superstars is out now, go get it because we liked it. You can also find out where Sonic Symphony World Tour is performing next by going to the official website here.- 2 comments

Tomoya Ohtani Takes The Spotlight in Sonic Frontiers 'Making the Music' Video
GX -The Spindash- posted a story in Games
Not only have we been treated to a new music preview of Sonic Frontiers, focusing on the Ares Island soundtrack, but SEGA has also released a new 'Making the Music' video which puts to spotlight on the game's music director, Tomoya Ohtani Among the many interesting tidbits, Ohtani had apparently written the compositions for Frontiers about four years back, (a striking difference from his work on Sonic Runners, which had only a month-long turnaround). Typically, he is not able to compose using developed game video and environments for direct reference, but uses planning documentation and an understanding of the game's outline, themes, tone, and story. For example, Kronos Island's piano-focused theme is built on the somber, desolate tone that defines that opening area. For those more vocally-minded, Ohtani's favorite track is the lead theme "I'm Here", and he promises several guest singers in the full game soundtrack. The Sonic Frontiers OST "Stillness & Motion" is set to release physically in Japan and on digital platforms internationally on December 8.- 5 comments

Soundtracks Get Ready For Battle With New Sonic Superstars Music Mix
Dreadknux posted a story in Games
Looking for something to listen to ahead of Sonic Superstars' launch on Tuesday? Well, how about a new song from the game's soundtrack, created by a bunch of legendary SEGA composers? Yeah, we thought so! The Battle Mode Mix, shared above by SEGA, is a collection of music works that can be found within the new Battle Mode of Sonic's latest 2D adventure. From Jun Senoue's pumping robot customisation menu theme, to a surprising remix of Sonic Drift music by Yasuyuki Nagata... there's even a track by the legendary Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, best known for his vocal work on Daytona USA (and Sonic Mania!). Give it a listen, imagine you're building a deadly robot that will zap all others to smithereens, and get ready for Sonic Superstars' launch on October 17. You can read our (non-spoiler) review on this very website by clicking here. -

The promotion of Sonic Frontiers' latest DLC continues, with SEGA releasing an animated music video for a vocal version of "I'm With You", as featured in the Final Horizon expansion. "A new story deserve a new but familiar theme," writes the Sonic social media team. The track, a vocal re-interpretation of the theme found in the original final boss fight ('The End'), adds vocals by Gaby Borro and lyrics from nana hatori, along with a re-arrangement by Tomoya Ohtani and Takahito Eguchi. It's a much more melancholic take on the track, obviously meant to be interpreted as a song told from the voice of Sage. For those of you who have already completed the Final Horizon DLC, you'll have likely already heard this, but for everyone else - enjoy!
