I'm an avid fan of SCD, and out of all the remixes and fanworks I've listened to, I think this is one of the closest to matching the feeling of SCD. Absolutely my favorite.

I'm always a fan of endgame-y songs, always having a certain finality to it...as well as desperate/emotional qualities. To me this song seems to brush on those qualities subtley. Love it :3

wait...we both had Sonic CD 2 projects...huh

Another Sonic CD 2 soundtrack? I didn't pay attention to which alternate time stream I was in. No problem, you could give the project a subtitled name like "Sonic CD: The Next Continuum" or something like that. 

Of all the Sonic C quel D songs, this ones my favourite :)

The last zone we really got to start on in the project was Diluvian Desert Zone. I wanted to do something a bit different with this, both musically, and concept wise. The stage centered around a desert lake backed up behind a dam in the present, although in the past, the dam was being built, so it was a much smaller lake.  The desert was 'high desert,' (there is a lot of this in eastern California) and as such it was snowing during the level.  The time of day was sunset or sunrise, and in the futures and present, a city would be able to be seen way off in the distance. Sometimes, trains were meant to pass by in the background. Steam trains in the past, freight trains in the present, and bullet trains in the futures. It was supposed to be one of the final levels.
Musically, I went for a sound more in line with the US soundtrack for a lot of this theme, but also included elements familiar to fans of the Japanese soundtrack (personally, I love both! :D )

Since the project was never finished, I am likely to include this in Elancia Chronicles in some way. :D
