Rusty Ruins Zone (Act 1) - Sonic 3D Blast (Saturn) [OST]

[@PeskyPlumber69]

Why is the saturn ost so soothing? I'm actually tearing up while listening to this

[@Jimbo1221]

:,)

[@solonsaturngaming3727]

Maybe it’s due to the cords and sounds of the notes from the instruments

[@arthurgomes9248]

I can relate to what u r saying. When i was 7 that ost got me really sad too, whem i was 14 studing music and guitar i got to know about how chords can be used to create emotions, such as the feeling of power with major/powe chords and the feeling of sadness/sorrow with minor chords and other irregular intervals of notes.

[@sameash3153]

@@arthurgomes9248 Its all those suspensions and brief minor second intervals combined with all the reverb that makes this so enchanting

[@CadencexCascade]

It's because Richard Jacques composed it, he had a different style compared to Jun Senoue who was behind the Genesis version.

When I was young couldn't afford games myself, I remember finding sonic 3d blast on sale for dirt cheap on pc. I had a Windows 98 and played w the keyboard. For a sonic game that was tough. This track is the one I remember the most from those days. Beautiful, thank you!

[@ryfyyt171]

[@gncberk]

wow same here except i don't know how i got the cd. i remember standing still in the game for a long minutes to just listen this beautiful music.

[@silentdohftw]

@@gncberk If you still have the disc you can pop it in any CD player and it should actually play the music, Track 1 is the game, but 2 and on should be the soundtrack. This works with a lot of old games that kept their music as uncompressed audio on the CD, give it a try sometime!

[@SonicSmith134]

Amen to this track and for Act 2 as well.

[@frankie385]

Me too. This track is the one I remember.

[@printthelegends]

A lot of legacy game franchises, your Mega Mans and Zeldas and Castlevanias and Fantasies Final, have rich musical legacies. I don't think any of them have one as versatile as Sonic. This was only two years after Sonic 3 and two years before Sonic Adventure. None of those soundtracks sound like each other and they all sound incredible.

[@jimkibble4495]

Back then the composers had the heat on them to come up with a soundtrack to really portray the level and area but that sadly seems to of bin lost for just looking nice and pretty its a shame...

[@Brantendo64]

Fucking beautiful.

[@UltimateTS64]

And all these franchises are in Super Smash Bros. it's amazing to think about to me. Like I probably would've never cared to step out and listen to the music from those series unless Smash gave me a taste of what they had to offer. I grew up with Sonic so I've been listening to the music for a long time. Heck if I hear a song, I can almost instantly tell you which game it's from, but I haven't even heard every Sonic song. Like I've never heard the songs on this soundtrack. I know the Genesis one, but I've only heard bits and pieces of the the Saturn version, and oh man am I loving it

[@Harrinsain]

speaking of Smash, it's a shame how little Sonic's music is represented in Smash. The only remix in the entire series is from brawl and we only got 2 new songs

[@RoronoaDLuffy-iu4yx]

Sonic games may have mitigated quality but their soundtracks are up here with the other legends

[@Jugdjay]

Sounds like the kind of music you'd listen to on a rainy day.

[@taberah9081]

Not only do I listen to this in the rain, I make it an effort to listen to this track whenever it rains. I can remember how beautiful it was: the rain, the thunder and the flashes of lightning all while this music played on. God bless you Richard Jacques.

[@zim._hates_dib]

I used to listen to this almost every morning when I got up to get ready to go to school. For some reason, this song just seemed to fit with the still dark blue skies of early morning, especially if it was kind of cloudy too. Got nostalgic as I'm sitting here in the car parking lot and decided to listen to it on a rainy, dark blue early morning. Still a classic.

The aesthetic you’re thinking of is vaporwave, although this song predates vaporwave by 20 years.

[@RazoE]

Makes you wanna drift off to sleep Probably my favorite sonic track of any game

[@ChilliusVGM]

A lot of people say this song was inspired by Enigma's Sadeness, but that's not 100% the full story. It was actually more likely to have been inspired by an SY99 Factory Demo track titled 'Gregorian' which uses the same vocal chants used in this song too. Said SY99 Factory Demo was very inspired by Enigma's Sadeness itself, which is why this song also sounds like it.

[@moonloop46]

Crazy trivia, thanks!

[@charlescastillo9018]

Ayo now I HAVE to listen to that song, cuz I've heard Enigma's Sadness and other New Age bands and when I found out sonic, Streets of rage and countless other games have inspiration from such and the genre it blew my mind PD: The Streets of Rage theme has Clear inspiration from Enigma's Sadness the similarities are there

you know those songs you hear in twitch streams or in KZbin videos but don't know what it is and you feel desperate to know? This was me with this song, thank god I found it at last

[@andyketch5594]

After a little digging, I found the sample of the low voices that that kick in at 1:36. It's from the "Gregorian" demo from the YAMAHA SY99 keyboard (you can hear it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKnJpYd_p5WshNUsi=Wfn1TWOdI2t4boc7). I also emailed Richard Jacques and he confirmed that he'd used this keyboard. It's the line "et in terra pax hominibus" from the Gloria from Mass XV (Dominator Deus). The exact recording it's taken from is from the Monks of l'Abbaye Saint Pierre de Solesmes (here it is on KZbin at 0:06 in, though the title is labelled incorrectly: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHqnh4GqmZp_psk). I'm not sure exactly which CD they would've found the chant on back in 1991, but at least we have the digitized version. The only reason I dug so much was because I heard it about a year ago and knew I recognized it and it was driving me crazy. Another meaningless mystery solved!

I love how it goes immediately from happy, carefree, bright and green to Broken, rainy, dreary ruins in just the first two levels. It's like the first level is Sonic discovering this awesome new place. But by Rusty Ruins he's concerned for the flickies. He's getting madder at Eggman, and he understands that he needs to get serious.

[@tatertot64]

It was a huge treat in hindsight to get bits of the Genesis soundtrack in Sonic Adventure, and by extension give it wider recognition, but I wish the Saturn soundtrack got the same. It's probably hard to imagine these days, but redbook audio was probably a shot in the arm for immersion with 2D games. Playing games like Mario 3, Zelda, Mega Man are great all around, but you encounter a game like Sonic CD or this game, and the soundtrack alone elevates the experience to something truly special.

[@Boomblox5896]

This was one of my first key memories of Sonic as a kid. Listening to this while my sister and I played this game. I think she played it more than I did. I just wasted time trying to do the Start-Button skip through every level as far as I could go.
