The Sound of Speed

I came across a new remix album that was too good not to share with our readers, so hopefully you’ll forgive the indulgence. As you might be aware, I am a massive fan of retro Sonic games and old game music, so the release of The Sound of Speed was a pleasant surprise. It’s a new arrangement of music from the original Sonic the Hedgehog, and it’s fantastic.

The collective of remix artists take Masato Nakamura’s classic soundtrack and give it a modern twist. There’s a bit of cheesy rock, chiptunes, sound effects like springs and jumps used as instruments and a vocoder melody that sounds like Daft Punk. It builds on your nostalgia for the music, without using it as a crutch. I love it. My personal favourites are Subsonic Sparkle, Bubble Junkie and Clockwork Criminal, but I’m sure you’ll have your own!

You can download the entire album for free at Overclocked Remix.
