Partial Tracklist for True Colors Revealed

Some Tracks New, Some Classic but Recent
It appears the true colors behind True Colors: The Best of Sonic the Hedgehog Vol. 2 will yield a mix of recent but still classic Sonic tunes, as well as some brand new remixes.
This, according to a small sampling of the tracklist released by Amazon.com’s Japanese listing for the CD. It appears 22 songs will fit on the disc, with represented titles ranging for the moment from Sonic Adventure to the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog. Veteran Sonic fans will recognize that the Theme of E-102, an instrumental, made the cut for this album. From SA2, Throw it All Away and E.G.G.M.A.N. will be included.
But there will be remixes, including another one of Dreams of an Absolution, tentatively dubbed the “New Remix 2009.” There’s also a “Hybrid Remix” of All Hail Shadow, featuring Mike Szuter. Of greater note is a demo edition of Big’s theme from Sonic Adventure, Lazy Days. It’s being dubbed a “Original Demo Hybrid Mix” that features Ted Poley.
We’ll give you more on the CD as new details are revealed. But, for the moment, we know the contents of about a quarter of True Colors.

Sounds like another great album.
“…we know the contents of about a quarter of True Colors…”
So then, we can expect classic tunes from the Genesis titles (hopefully), yes? I want new remixes and remakes of brilliant songs from titles such as Spinball (the game had a killer soundtrack. Dr. Funkenstein grooved up that special round of Pinball) and Sonic CD.
Man alot of remixed Sonic songs..weird
“[...] Veteran Sonic fans will recognize that the Theme of E-102 [...]”
Veteran?
Regardless, I suppose the tracklist is acceptable, although I prefer True Blue’s tracklist and had hoped for a remix of one of the original games.
Thank you for the information!
@Anonymous A: Well, yeah. It was just over 10 years ago.
A few remixes catch my attention, but everything else has been around forever. Good stuff, but it’s been sitting on our harddrives forever.
@Soul Gauge:
Hahahahahahaha, no. They really need to rephrase themselves because for a minute there, it sounded like they consider the Genesis era of never happening. Quite the insult really that only so called “Veteran” Sonic fans would be glad to hear a new version. More like we want some remakes of great tunes such as Sky Sanctuary and Hill Top. THAT’s material that “veteran” Sonic fans would remember and take us back into a younger time of Sonic the Hedgehog.
As it is, I am still disappointed that the music of Sonic Spinball has never been remixed or remade. It really is quite the shame since the music was extremely funky. Had a very wet tone that constantly draws you in with the rhythm.
