After the Sequel OST

Sorry, not anything new. Just realized I never uploaded this to Soundcloud. Not that it really matters a year later, but eh, consistency.

From Whence You Came - For Dream Dance Act 2

That classic metro feel. Except not quite 'classic'.

Tea With Ellie - For Cyan City Act 1

Mach Σ - For Dream Dance Act 1

CUTSCENE - It's No Use!

Special Stages - Sonic 2 Special Stage

Okay, so the track title is somewhat misleading. This is based more on the Generations "Mission 5" remix/rearrangement which includes both the Title Screen and You're My Hero.

Special Stages - Sonic 3D Blast Main Theme

SPOT CHECK Q&A SESSION

Q: Falk didn't you already upload this? https://soundcloud.com/falk-2/radical-train-modern 
A: The other upload is a WIP version of a different incarnation of the full track that this is an excerpt from. This short edit is specifically intended as one of the Special Stage tracks for Sonic: After the Sequel, and retains the same applause/turntable power down staples of the other Special Stage remixes.

Q: But if the other one is a WIP, shouldn't this be a WIP too?
A: No, this is final. I'm completely fine with the excerpt being different in both mix and arrangement from the full version should that change. They aren't intended to be identical, after all. Also this means that this incarnation is download-enabled. Yay!

Q: So what exactly are the other uses of this Radical Train remix?
A: Aside from this excerpt being used for ATS, the material in full or in part is also intended as a contribution to an otherwise undisclosed compilation album (shhhh), to inspire a certain someone to get off his buttbottom and finish the Generations port of this level, and as part of my Berklee College of Music MP&E major final project. Efficient use of effort and all that. In part, call this an experiment in which I'm hoping to capitalize on cross-interest/networking to help build exposure for all these disparate elements of the project.

Q: You're just uploading this twice to get more plays aren't you?
A: OH MY GOD LOOK A TWO TAILED FOX

Special Stages - Sonic 06 Radical Train Modern

Props if you can remember where the quote is from without googling.

(All cutscene music names are video game quotes because I'm a marketing genius)

CUTSCENE - But Dropping a Warship On Me is Cheating

No points for guessing which game this name is from.

CUTSCENE - Jill, Head for that House!

So yeah. First off, I guess I owe quite a few people an apology. The soundtrack is taking way longer than it should have due to situations out of our control. While -that- may not have been directly my fault, what -was- my fault was being overly optimistic in how much time we could tackle our goals with the soundtrack in.

Sonic BTS and ATS have been a little bit of an anomaly in fan gaming (and the game industry in general) just by how much resources are put into the soundtrack compared to the rest of the game. For all of us working on it, it's portfolio work - something to be able to show off, for posterity, etc. We all knew that it was pretty disproportionate going in - One guy doing an entire fan-game, then 4 or 7 people working on the soundtrack? Not to mention we're applying a whole slew of different modern genres to what's essentially a 16-bit retro throwback of a game.

LakeFeperd has every right to be upset with how far this has been pushed back. Although there's been a lot of hype around ATS and its soundtrack both individually and in tandem, I'd have to admit in a moment of sheer humility that he'd probably have been able to release the game as-is, with all the temporary music like in the SAGE demo, and it'd have been an absolute blast (and it is; I've played it, obviously).

Having his work (which has been pretty much done for months now) held back by us bozos is pretty much something I have to apologize for. Don't get me wrong; this kind of delay obviously wouldn't happen if this had been a commercial undertaking (e.g. we weren't doing this in our free time while finishing college/moving/getting married/dying/whatever) and I'd been able to schedule things a lot more generously, but that being said I guess what I -did- do wrong was, like I said, underestimate the time to pull everything that we'd planned off properly and set up false expectations for not only LakeFeperd, fans looking forward to the game, but myself and the rest of the team.

I do feel that sticking by our guns and seeing this through would be the best course of action. We're in the final lap now, and as much as I am scared of throwing deadlines out now, I daresay we'll be completely wrapped up within the next two weeks, plus a few days for polish/testing and the fangame would be released.

Soapbox aside, here's Storm Station 1. You might recognize the lick at the start - it was part of Arcane Altitude 2, and is my little throwback to the final zone of the previous game.

Combat Night (ATS Version) - For Parhelion Peak Act 1

Fusion in more ways than one. It's actually a fusion of Neon Paradise and Combat Night!

The climb up Parhelion Peak is (almost) over. Take a moment to feel the breeze. And then realize it's a bad idea because the breeze is chilling.
