Years ago, I did my own version of the soundtrack of the original Sonic the Hedgehog game and although I love it to pieces, it is the second game in the series that I love more fondly. I also rearranged/composed elements for my own version of the game's soundtrack last year, which turned out better than I'd hoped.

I have also done my own version of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 but as we know, that game is divided into two halves: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 plus Sonic & Knuckles. Here is the much overdue second half of my own versions of these classic tracks. I hope you enjoy going fast and speedy along these renditions.

Sonic & Knuckles starts off where the last half ended; Sonic has to race across more zones to prevent Dr. Robotnik (or Eggman) from resurrecting the fallen Death Egg Zone. The adventure continues with Sonic finding himself in an ancient, ornate temple that once was the centre of the Echidna civilisation. Deep within, Sonic is ambushed by Knuckles once again, determined to stop Sonic from taking the Master Emerald. But, he is easily defeated by the blue blur and to his horror, Dr. Robotnik steals the emeralds instead - using its unlimited energy to rebuild and power the revived Death Egg Zone. In fact, it was his plan from the start! Having realised the errors of his ways, Knuckles joins Sonic's plight and aids him in finding the teleport to the Sky Sanctuary Zone. 

I love that this place (although technically Act 2 of Lava Reef Zone) is the intended Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and wanted to link that by blending/rearranging it that both themes could be heard - bridging the gap as it were. I have tried to capture a sense of nostalgic wonder and mystery so hopefully that comes across to you.

Enjoy folks. I hope these tracks take you back to a time of childhood, a time of simpler times and cracking break-through, "got to go fast" games. HJ signing out.
