Sonic Lost World Music Discussion

[Stritix]

What's your thoughts on the music for Sonic Lost World?

 

I think the music is turning out to be decent. I'm not sure if it'll be on Sonic Colours levels of good, but so far I like it. A few tracks from the game can be heard. I have embed them below. Some have SFX in them, but you can still hear the music.

I've been getting an unleashed vibe from the music. Especially Windy hill zone. Although that desert one gives me a sonic 4 ep 2 vibe... Which isn't exactly a good thing ((Also gives me a bit of a headache, like a really bad remix of that one egyptain song))

 

I am liking it so far, although I am missing crush 40 though, maybe next game.

I love that snare and will sample it on day 1 of the soundtrack's release.

That aside... I recognize the Sitar in Desert Ruins 1 - it's from the Korg Triton.

 

As for the compositions... I'm okay with Desert Ruins' actually desert stages - Sky Hive and Dessert Ruins just sound like a blatant influence from Skyscraper Scamper and structurally like a Mario track respectively to me - They're definitely well-composed, just... I'm not too sure about them.

 

Windy Hill, however, I have a major gripe against.

It's trying to be like a Rooftop Run, without a lot of things that made it as good as it is. The upbeat nature has been replaced with a more lax one, and the simple but brilliant melody has been replaced with a simple and generic one (I can say this, having scrapped TONS of melodies due to being generic) and it just doesn't give me the feeling that other soundtracks, such as Colors and Sonic After the Sequel, give me. Call me a blasphemer, but I honestly believe that it's structurally Ohtani's weakest track ever, and I hope I never see something like it ever again.

 

I love the concept of saxophones and disco in a desert - I never would really have imagined such a take myself! They really fit, and I love the melody written for them. So far, they're my favorite tracks in the soundtrack... Though I'm not looking forward to it very much.

I have a Sonic Unleashed feel in the OST. (What Shadon said)
But I like it, it's not bad and i'm starting to dig it =P
