      Yeah it's so sad but also promising that a fan made game is the best sonic game in years. Sonic just can't be good in a 3d game (at least haven't seen a good one for 10 plus years). I really feel if they brought the freedom fighters back and did some sort of dynamic around a sneaking element/involving the robotisizor. It would have the game a real cool dynamic.

    The Sonic series and its OSTs hold a special place in my heart, growing up with the series and what not. And honestly all of the mainline entries are worth reacting to!
    One soundtrack that is very colorful and varied from the series is Sonic Heroes, it captures the feel that the original 2D trilogy (and CD) had in its level themes and music!, so listening to it is a very fun time.

    I noticed you mentioned R&B sound for Stardust Speedway act 1.
    Once again, you get the prediction/assumption right. That track is a remix of Stardust Speedway (Past) from Sonic CD, which has HEAVY New Jack Swing influences. NJS uses lots of R&B chords, and also those horn hits you mentioned.
    Now that I think of it, lots of classic Sonic had New Jack Swing influences. You can hear it clear as day in Hydrocity.

A real love letter to the entire 80's and 90's musical scene with especial attention being given to Pop and New Jack Swing, which were Sonic's musical bases back in those days. Tee Lopes is a diehard Sonic fan and the sheer amount of homework he's done over the years shines in this soundtrack.

    The Sonic games will always hold a special place in my heart, even after all the skeletons were uncovered in Sega's closet (and there were many.) But my happy memories end with the Dreamcast. Yes there were good ones afterwards but none of them captured the same magic the classics and Adventure 1 and 2 had in my eyes. Mania came very close, but it was one of those games I just didn't enjoy as much as the classics, probably because some of my all time faves were missing from 1 and 2 and for legal reasons, 3.
    Still, there were some bangers and especially loved Studiopolis Zone!

    As someone who played the originals when they released, this game and soundtrack hit every single fiber of nostalgia in my body. As a guitar player (self trained by ear, no formal education) I have so much respect for the job Tee Lopes and Hyper Potions did to encapsulate the feel of old console and arcade music while adding fresh new elements that grab your attention along the way. The game itself did that, so for the music to back that up and give you that feeling fully in every element of the experience was really important and they nailed it. Still one of my favorite all time games and game soundtracks. Great reaction to the OST.

    I'd love to see you give the Sonic Adventure 2 OST a whirl. I've got a soft spot in my heart for the game, even though it's admittedly pretty bad, but the soundtrack is still really cool. I appreciate how they attempted to give each character in the story a different musical style, which makes for - like a lot of my favourite soundtracks - a very ecclectic collection. I especially love the Latin jazz feel of Rouge's sections, with the vocal scatting, conga, flute, and vibes. They also incorporated quite a bit of vocals, which is still fairly unusual for game soundtracks.
