housethegrate - Walk on Water (Hydrocity)

[@DarthAsthmatic]

This came out 15 years ago, and nothing has yet to beat this cover.

[@TheIncoherentShow]

I couldn't agree more with this comment, the remix of Sonic mania is more attached to the original, but this one far exceeds it

[@pfunk6945]

@ About 2:40 💃🕺👣

[@JesusMusic1988]

Yes absolutely agree. Others have tried, but they all add (or I guess emphasize) notes that make it kind of jarring to listen to. This version still stands as the best remake of hydro city.

[@blaquephyrekendra1779]

Insaneintherain has an excellent cover of parts 1 and 2 done with gametal

[@dautolover]

Yeah. There was just a recent remix from LongestSoloEver (he did all of Sonic 3), which was very good, but this cover still is best.

[@teistooher8844]

The transition from act 1 to act 2 makes me want to cry tears of joy. It's just so perfect.

There is more time between now and when Project Chaos released than there was between the release of Project Chaos (2006) and Sonic 3 (1994).

It's 12 years of diference, and it was The worst year to make Awesome remixes CD, may be better in 2008,but no,it was in 2006 with Sonic 06

[@Michaelmercado64]

I've probably logged 20k listens on this song alone. Seriously my favorite running track for years!

[@GaboH-h7s]

Me too, since it was uploaded more than a decade ago

[@GuerrillaForce]

Wow, this just started and I love it. Kept, enhanced even, the funk feel of Hydrocity. ... Holy crap, the second act just started. ARRIBA! Amazing stuff.

[@pizapocket477]

Fun fact: Right when act 2 starts, start a world record run (1:43.00) of Hydrocity act 2 in Sonic Mania. They end at the same time.

[@Akerfeldtfan]

God this is the one of the best remixes I've ever heard. No really, the guitar playing so so so smooth and articulate. It's just plain perfect.

[@LuckiSir]

2006 was surprising ;)

[@OmniGSage]

I'm getting shades of Santana and Ozomatli.

[@9unslin9er]

[@KesterStudios]

now this is a true remix. its a shame the other tracks in this album werent like this one. this song manages to sound true to the original while still doing its own thing unlike the others.

[@sonicmastersword8080]

KesterStudios Agreed. How do you mess up launch base zone so bad?

[@SonicGamesPlayer]

I actually enjoy that remix quite a lot :)

[@Ashalar]

Death egg zone was meh. Have yet to see a proper metal cover for it too. Flying Battery was pretty good though. And Scrambled Eggman... damn that’s tasty.

[@Gameboy3DS]

I just wanted to emphasize as a non-Sonic fan, when my friend showed me this remix, and when that part at 0:48 & 1:45 kicked in, I was already hooked to the song. So as someone who’s not at all that big on the series, this is very well done. Kudos!

[@JSTM2000]

I didn't remix anything :) I uploaded the whole Project Chaos album to KZbin because nobody else had done it.

[@DLGanimator]

I know this comment is like 14 years old, but still: Does that mean the Project Chaos album is significantly older then this video? Like dude, this video was uploaded in february 2008. Sonic Unleashed did not exist yet, and sonic fans already made some evergreen masterpieces. That's sooooo crazy

[@DLGanimator]

Wow, just googled up that Project Chaos album was published in 14. november 2006. Sonic 06 was released 5 days after this album, this is some ancient sonic fan stuff. So insane how sonic fans are sooo talented, soooooo fricking insane.

This is hands down the best Sonic remix on youtube, Hydrocity Zone already had one of the best background tracks, and this just turned it into what it was always meant to be.

[@chaosspider5765]

*The Doomsday would like to know your location*

[@zavor5786]

If someone that does not know about its origin heard this song, he/she would never guess it was from a videogame, let alone the Sonic franchise. Also, Act 2 (2:40 onwards) sent chills down my spine, pure genius!! 100% musical gold, x2 thumbs up

[@SorenDaein]

Zavor ­ Since you mentioned the part where Act 2 started, I heard that part in a sprite movie called "Sonic the Hedgehog: Two Worlds Collide." One of the fights got taken into Hydrocity with this track playing in the background for a bit. Never got the chance to listen to the rest because the track ended quickly in said movie and played another music piece. Never thought it was a Project Chaos remix.

[@LeviR34]

This is the only version that will do it for me now, not even the original lives up to this anymore..... what am I gonna do?

[@tsangpogorge]

I've been listening to this for years. Listening to it is nostalgic in itself... Then the song makes me nostalgic for Classic Sonic! It's nostalgic inception.

[@ObliSubX]

The transition from Act 1 to Act 2 is a masterpiece. It gets a bit faster and then drops the damn beat straight onto it.

[@somedude876]

14 years old and this slaps harder than anything , you CANNOT name something as old as this thats gud

[@housethegrate6093]

Thanks dude.

[@diamonddamory]

I’ve always thought Hydrocity looked like a church or something I don’t know why. And Hydrocity’s background for Act 1 and 2 looks so beautiful to me with the windows and stuff and the purple and the candles. It’s just so beautiful, I wish I could go to the Hydrocity.

[@kalil6]

[@macopper4198]

[@Vercsase]

One of best remixes on Project Chaos. It sticks to the original song without a saturation of guitar or getting too "unique" AND does a natural build-up between Act 1 and Act 2. Amazing remix

[@Eyeshield26]

The Act 1 portion was amazing by itself, but the Act 2 is what caught my heart. Absolute brilliance.

[@PaceBreaker]

Wonderful arrangement! Captures the vibes of the original and even adds an even more enthralling feel! One of the best tracks (though they are all good in their own way).

[@JordanGrelle]

Absolutely love this remix. One of my favorite levels and songs of all time, you guys definitely did this track justice!

THAT'S a re-arrangement!!! The dist solo at (1:20) also remembers me of Genesis Shinobi's song "Make me Dance" solo at aprox. 52s, and that's a game whose songs mean part of my childhood (of course, along with Sonic), so INCREDIBLY WELL DONE WORK TO THE ARTISTS!

[@darrenseepersad3705]
