Classic Sonic Gets a Bit of Love
The Japanese Sonic Channel blog today revealed the full track list for December’s release of True Colors: The Best of Sonic the Hedgehog vol. 2. It’s the next in a series of Sonic themed compilations from Sega.
Recent Sonic is well represented and remixed, with a couple cuts of Dreams of an Absolution making it, as does All Hail Shadow and a new remix of Open Your Heart. Noteworthy is how the ending theme to the international edition of Sonic CD, Believe in Yourself, has a place. Very surprising, however, is representation of Sonic 3 and the original Sonic ANIME. It’s not Sonic X–we’re talking about the original OVA released in 1996, with an American release in 1999 by ADV Films. An edit of “Look-a-like” is a part of the album. Also making the cut is something called “Sonic3 MegaD Mix,” which had previously been released through the Sonic Gems Collection.
The full track list is below.
1. Un-gravitify

YAY NOW FROGGY AND ME CAN LISTEN TO MAH TUNES!
I liked the SA1 version of Knuckle’s theme better…. oh,well.
That Japanese blog has a lot of other interesting things on it too, like Sonic and Amy acting as cheerleaders at a baseball game back in August (lol)
Frankly, I far prefer the SA2 versions of Believe in Myself and Unknown From M.E.
Meh… I was hoping for a Throw It All Away remix… but seriously… both Waking Up AND This Machine?! Frickin’ awesome!
Oh… and is that Open Your Heart remix the one we first heard about a while back that we never learned any more information about?
find it kinda lazy that gamma’s theme doesn’t have a title.=/
wonder what the Open Your Heart remix will sound like?
Wow, some really interesting additions here. What’s look-a-like? Never heard of it.
Now we got two albums on the way with some groovy Sonic music, cant wait.
Zink : Look -a- Like was the main theme for Sonic the Hedgehog : The Movie an 1 hour movie starring Sonic , Tails, & Knuckles which camed out in 1996 in Japan & 1999 in the US & I liked the movie it was pretty good you should watch ti sometime on You Tube
no endless possibilities? aww. this list look kul apart from that.
This seems like a decent one compared to all the garbage soundtracks they have been releasing lately. At least this one has variety, so there should be some everyone likes.
@Epicenter:…..
Variety? Going for mostly new games and a failed anime and you call this a variety CD? It doesn’t help that the lyrics aren’t really that great as well to any of the songs except the OVA and Sonic 3.
And don’t tell me… True VETERAN Sonic fans are going to recognize the theme of Gamma, yes? After all, it’s not like we grew up with tunes like Stardust Speedway, Green Hill, and Sky Chase.
Oh SNAP! K-klub remix of Open Your Heart, you say?
Anyone remember that long forgotten “15th anniv.” Remix Factory version of Open Your Heart that was never released?
*waggles eyebrows*
Ah cool, I can finally own a cd with “look alike” on it. Whenever I pop in my dvd copy of the movie I can’t help but sing along to it (did the same thing with my VHS version).
The moment I read between the lines stating “OVA”, “Sonic” and “music”, I thought it was going to be the background music used during that movie. That movie never did have a proper OST CD release. Shame since all the songs in that anime were fantastic. But to have the Look-A-Like song, that’s ok. Doesn’t really help when it says it’s the short edited version, which sounds like the one minute version that’s flying around the internet.
As for the entire CD, the bonus tracks are the only thing worthwhile, especially for someone like me who has all the Sonic soundtrack releases. I’ve already these songs more than enough and I can pull out my mp3 player and have a listen to that tracklist right now. Also, I think they went with odd choices for the songs here, though I guess they were trying to get Sonic’s friends some attention. Shadow gets 2 songs however, and This Machine would have been much more suffice on its own.
And if they were able to get the Sonic 3 MegaD Mix into this, why not the rest of the remixes found in that collection? I’m glad they went with Sonic 3′s, since that’s my most favorite, but the other ones deserve a CD release attention as well. Another missed opportunity. Oh well.
AWSOME, I going to get this CD not download!
It’s great fan-service for SEGA to go back to the OVA like that — it had some fantastic tracks.
Look-a-like!!!! *w*
Look Alike… FFFFFFF- =D
YAY! Some remix and awesome songs! Well……I will probably download it. I need money for christmas gifts for my friends.
Sonic3 MegaD Mix is pretty good. Nice addition.
I don’t want to sound like a noob or anything (which i most certinly am not!) but when exactly is this CD coming out? can anyone give me the exact date??
Re-release the same tracks on a new cd
Sell for $20
????
Profit?
I’d rather they give us more remakes of old classic songs.
