I loved the fade in here. It slightly irritated me that it was so abrupt in the original.

@tyler52: it's time to write to SEGA to demand your money back !:o


If Act 1 was Hidden Palace, and this is Winter and Dust Hill, what's Act 2? Wood?

First stage of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

I went with a Sonic CD vibe for this one, with emphasis on clouds and rain.

Rivulets - For Hilltop Heights Act 1

It's been almost 2 months since I've uploaded something. My bad about that ^ ^, ya'know life and everything. Anyways here is a track I've been working on back and forth since last year November and just finished fixing everything that I thought sounded wrong today. Also I got a few really interesting remixes as my top priority, so be on the look out for them. Enjoy.

Deathly Metal ...for Boss Theme 1(?)

Act 2 of the first Zone of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

In many ways Rivulets (Hilltop Heights Act 1 music) is iconic of Before the Sequel as a whole - It's the first piece of music (other than the title screen) that people will hear, and it sets the mood of the game as 'something wildly different from the typical Sonic experience' (as opposed to starting with a Green ____ trope for example).

For Act 2, I decided to retain a lot of familiarity with Act 1's music. I think this should help that feeling of 'a new adventure' to fully sink in, while at the same time building up the intensity level.

p.s. This track has arguably the most recognizable Sonic music cameo so far out of all the stuff I've done for BTS. :V

Downpour - For Hilltop Heights Act 2

2) Going reasonably well
3) Added some horns
4) Suddenly Grandia
5) fffffffffffffffffffffffffff :(

Before the Sequel - Title Screen

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92s47PQNw8Y

Act 3 of the first Zone of this awesome fangame. It's out and you can play it now*; we're making a 2012 special edition with an original score for SAGE 2012.

If Rivulets (Act 1 music) was characteristic of Before the Sequel as a whole, and Downpour (Act 2 music) built on it, this track would be a step towards building expectations for the OST in general. I wanted to, early on, expose players to the full range of genres that could be represented in the soundtrack and dissuade any preconceptions on what a 'retro'-style game had to sound like. Sonic CD was 1992 and its two OSTs fit so well with the game despite it being 224p 16-bit fare.

This was an interesting track to work with. I discovered halfway through working with Act 2's music that the rap I was working with actually mentioned "Rainbows" and "Prisms"- a fact that I didn't know when I was just using its chorus "Feel the Beat" section for Act 1. It worked alongside the orchestral-ish rendition perfectly for Act 3's lighter mood. Kinda funny how things turn out.. ;p Despite the rain being gone, I still get a very chilly vibe from the overall zone coloration (nevermind that it's really Hilltop Zone tiles in the foreground). Hopefully the music conveys that well.

I also threw in Green Hill again like I did with Act 2, except as a feature rather than a hidden easter egg. Musical quotes from Sonic music is going to be another staple for this OST, as it really is my homage to the franchise in general.

Prismatic - For Hilltop Heights Act 3

Weow, this one should sound very familiar very fast!

Lost Levels are a tribute to all the canned or otherwise 'lost' levels from the original Mega Drive games. The Mystic Cave 2 Player music is notable in that it's related to a lot of these missing links within Sonic 2. Before the Sequel originally featured the original MC2P music along with an ice remix by Ristar@Andy Tunstall, which flipped on the fly depending on where you were in the level. This new version's Fire side was recorded by him (hence credit where credit is due plz), and the Ice side was sequenced by me based on his ideas. Confusing, eh?

Anyway Ristar is a cool guy and doesn't afraid of anything. He's also done the music for Fortress Flow zone. Check out his Soundcloud page for this - http://soundcloud.com/tunners

Fire and Ice - For Lost Levels Act 3

It's no big secret that Be Cool, Be Wild, Be Groovy from Sonic Adventure is a thinly veiled homage to the flashy guitarists of this generation, specifically mimicking Satriani's Satch Boogie. For this boss I decided to emulate that, by mimicking Steve Vai's Juice. By mimicking a song I in fact mimic another song. How about that?

Due to the short-ish length of the boss there's not much form to this one, just an all-out funfest right from the start. Enjoy.
