Sonic the Hedgehog: “I did not think it would be possible to regret buying something that cost me $1.20″
Saturday, October 27th, 2007From the ROFL file over at the OverClocked ReMix forums, I can’t even make this stuff up. Yesterday, OCR forum member Raziellink shat on the European remix soundtrack, Sonic the Hedgehog (edited for clarity), after initially believing it to be a potentially good find. Know this image and protect thine ears in response:
Alright, I was in our local music store yesterday, and I was going through some bargain bins. The fact that every CD in it was priced at €1, I thought I would check it out.
What did I find? An old Sonic soundtrack CD from 1996. What the hell? Such a CD, for only €1? I checked the back, and the songs were called “Sonic Metropolis Trance Zone”, or “Entering Death Egg Zone”. Though I am not a big Sonic fan, I understood that the songs were likely to be remixes of the original songs. I picked it up, and immediately bought it. “Wow, what a cool find”, I thought to myself.
Holy shit, what was I in the wrong. It did not take me more then the first couple of seconds of the first song to get sick. And the rest of the songs were equally bad! It hardly has anything to do with the original music, and if it does, it has been replaced by crappy, NO, horrible 90’s dance/trance, of which even the AVERAGE remixer here should be ashamed of.
I understood completely why that CD had been lying there for all those years, and why I can’t find an image on Google of it. It cost me €1, but damn, I regret buying it.
Apparently, one euro buys you earhurt in the Netherlands. As for an example of some of the crap on this album, let me hook you up with a cut from this disc entitled “They Call Me Sonic”. We got an awful remix submission of this theme a few weeks ago. Once I checked out the source material, I heard the old awfulness that inspired the new awfulness.
YouTube has quite a bunch of crappy AMVs that tackle this song. Let’s hook you up with one. Don’t worry, as far as these go, this is one of the “best.” Good luck:
