this would be amazing music for night driving

Now I'm imagining someone running on the highway, listening to the Sonic R soundtrack.

brb

 

[Fuu]

Love this OST sfm.

 

[RazOmari]

diamond in the sky is underrated.

Diamond in the Sky is my shit

 

[Saikyo]

CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE?
DOES IT BRIGHTEN UP YOUR DAY?
DON'T YOU FEEL THAT SOMETIMES
YOU JUST SHOULD STOP MAKING GAMES?

 

[Dead Man Typing]

fuck yes buying the shit out of this

no goddamn irony about it

This. Bought instantly - installed the Amazon player thing.

 

[Metal-Geo]

Just bought this sucker on iTunes. Being automatically downloaded on everything connected to my iTunes account as we speak.


ALL I NEED IS YOU! FOR ALWAYS AND FOREVER!

 

[cheststrongwell]

One of the best Sonic soundtracks.

 

[Remark]

The soundtrack to Sonic R was too good.

I already have it ripped from the original Saturn disc but if I didn't I would probably buy tbh.

 

[Trago]

God dammit. It's like, I don't need it, but I do. I don't need it.

Dammit.

 

[MrBadger]

Sega needs to stop messing around with Shenmue 3 or whatever it is they're working on and give us the HD 60fps Sonic R Steam release with online multiplayer that we deserve.

 

[Chao]

Just feel the pace














COME ON NOW, RACE!

 

[Mr. RPG]

I loved the music more than the game when I was a kid. Not to say the game was bad, I loved it!

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Such a memorable soundtrack.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I loved the music more than the game when I was a kid. Not to say the game was bad, I loved it!

don't worry, you can say that if you want

and you should want

 

[LiamR]

Why do people think this music is good? I will never understand it, to be honest.

 

[djplaeskool]

Awesome.

<3 TJ Davis.
Her stuff in Sonic R and Metropolis Street Racer were great.

 

[Spine_Ripper]

Why do people think this music is good? I will never understand it, to be honest.

Mind telling us how it's bad?

 

[Toad.T]

SO TAKE ME BAAAAAAAAAACKKKKKKK IN TIIIIIIIMMMMMEEEE
TO ANOTHER WORLD
WHERE YOU CAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN BE MIIIIIINNNNNNEEEE
WE DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.

 

[BlackJace]

Most cars nowadays have auxiliary ports that allow you to play songs from your phone or MP3 device. That's what I've been doing lol.

 

[Zonic]

Or I can stick my Original Saturn Disc in my PC and play it like a CD that has the full OST on it

I sometimes stick my PC version into my car's CD player & listen to the OST that way. Now I can feel the sunshine while driving around town or to college.

 

[Spaghetti]

hope richard jacques is getting some sweet royalties off this

 

[Banana Aeon]

This soundtrack is so good, for such a bad game.

Livin in the City is the best song when you are driving through a big city.

 

[jholmes]

Put the Saturn disc in your CD player.

The cd of the PC version can be used as a music cd. Obviosly several tracks are for the game itself and can not be played.

Hmm. I own the GameCube port but I'd keep an eye out for one of these, then. The Saturn version is less than I'd have thought.

 

[mclem]

I remember being delighted when I found out that Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing had Super Sonic Racing in it. To the extent of singing along loudly. Because you just can't not.

 

[SonofdonCD]

I would buy that SO HARD, that I would break SEGA.

Well, at the time, there were few, if ANY games to sound so good. And like many people in this thread have said, it perfectly encapsulates what 90's (euro)Pop was at the time. As for now, well, nostalgia, and they are still well composed, if a tad cheesy.

Richard Jacques (especially with his muse, TJ Davis) is a damn genius. Mis Sonic 3D Blast (Sega Saturn version) and Metropolis Street Racer Soundtracks (also with TJ Davis on the vocal tracks) are great as well.

 

[Tribes of Trusty]

It's up there with Metal Gear Rising as contenders for the best video game OST ever.

Spoiler

I love cheesy things

Time is a song I still know by heart all these years later

 

[t_wilson01]

"Living in the city..." I like the song, but wouldn't have it as background music for a game. The instrumental version is great.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

CAN YOU SEEEEEEEE
THE SUN IS SHINING ON MEEEEEE

 

[Shojx]

This is an amazing soundtrack; so cheesy, so good.

LIVIN' IN A CITY WHERE NOTHING GETS YOU DOWN!~

 

[Cody_D165]

LIVIN' IN THE CITY

YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO SURVIIIIIIIIIIIIVE

YOU'VE GOT TO KEEP THAT DREAM ALIVE

 

[MaverickHunterAsh]

Yoooou're the one that makes me feel so hiiiigh (just like a diamond in the sky)...

One of the greatest soundtracks ever across any medium, no joke. Richard Jacques is a monster.

Diamond in the Sky is so unfairly overlooked, too. Best track in the game.

 

[cantona222]

Is there a way to play Sonic R other than the Saturn? Was it part of any compilation?

 

[MrBadger]

I owned it on PC, and it's also on Sonic Gems Collection along with Sonic CD and Sonic the Fighters. That's on Gamecube, so if you have a Wii lying around like most of us do, that's your best bet.

 

[Cody_D165]

Sonic R had a PC release back in the day, it's actually slightly different than the Saturn version. It's also present on Sonic Gems Collection for the Gamecube (this version is the PC version because Saturn emulation is lolhard)

Be warned, if you've never played it before, the soundtrack is by far the best part of the game (and I mean that in the worst possible sense)... though I have a huge soft spot for the game.

EDIT: Beaten twice.

 

[RetroDLC]

Imagine the fun to be had if Sega held a official remix competition for Super Sonic Racing. We just need the acapella (it doesn't extract well from invert phasing the instrumental over the original track, I've tried it) then the song could be remixed into just about every genre there is.

 

[Shion]

diamond in the sky is underrated.

YOU'RE THE ONE THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO HIGH!

JUST LIKE THE DIAMONDS IN THE SKY!

 

[catmario]

Living in the city~ &#9834;
You know you have to survive~ &#9834;

 

[Zonic]

If this somehow ever gets re-released again, the game is just BEGGING for a Karaoke Mode like with Daytona USA's XBLA/PSN ports.

 

[Magnet_Man]

This is the perfect soundtrack to play God of War to.

 

[TheOGB]

diamond in the sky is underrated.

Diamond in the Sky is my shit

Yessssssssssss, god this is my favorite song in the game, it's soooo good

 

[LordGouda]

This is the perfect soundtrack to play God of War to.

I could totally bang Aphrodite to this:

Everybody's Super Sonic Racing, try to keep your feet right on the ground
When you're Super Sonic Racing there's no time to look around
We're just Super Sonic Racing, running to the point of no return
Everybody's Super Sonic Racing, come on let the fire burn

Don't you know that we really have to go
To a place where you can feel my heart just race

 

[Azure J]

Work it out
Work it out
Think about it
Work it out
Work it out
Talk about it
Work it out
Work it out
Make it happen
Let's work it out
Work it out
We've got to make it real
We've got to make it real
We've got to make it real
We've got to make it real

Richard Jacques posted once (once) on GAF like 13 years ago. I might've marked the fuck out.

 

[YoYo Switch]

Fuck I bought it

 

[Cody_D165]

Fuck yeah I bought it

FTFY

 

[KibblesBits]

No remix versions? Did you guys know you can just plop the pc version in your cd player and it's the whole soundtrack in order?

I just went to UK Resistance and did a custom search for Richard Jacques - their love and obsession with the man is infectious and not creepy at all.

This man composed the Headhunter soundtrack. Is that on amazon/itunes yet?
