Sonic The Hedgehog - Star Light Zone (YM2612 Remix)

Don't spoil my plans

[@SNickIsReal]

one of my favorites thus far, you really have a knack for taking compositions and really kicking them into high gear, wonderful job fr

[@sanicmaniac]

You know it's good when Sonic himself approves it

[@sonic11212]

yes true inded👍🏼

[@JoseMat2953]

*Star Light Zone Act 2* This is amazing, John! Keep up the amazing work!

[@julianthatplayz8621]

True this would be a good track for act 2 if there were to be a sonic mania 2

[@mightymadness5355]

​@julianthatplayz8621 mania 2 was never planned, nor canceled, it just doesn't exist (unless you say sonic superstars is mania 2, which is a safe assumption tbh)

[@theblurcafex1655]

Don't you think I didn't hear you slip that "Love Won't Wait" in there by Bobby Caldwell

[@SakuraSkyes]

so did i, instantly recognized it.

[@imthyshepherd]

I was waiting for this one, and oh boy, i am not disappointed.

[@Pēm̐cā]

Same

[@FNFFAN737]

This and the concept art next to it make me like the idea of this zone a lot better

[@protocetid]

Proto Sonic 1 was more fantastical, for some reason they made it more grounded and more boring IMO.

[@shortnameswill]

@@protocetid i def agree, I can imagine how it could look like in game, and it's 10x better

[@protocetid]

@@shortnameswill You don’t have to imagine, there was a fan game based on proto S1 named Sonic Overture. Doesn’t have Star Light Zone though. What sucks is it's not very accurate and was canceled.

[@shortnameswill]

cool@@protocetid

[@cappuccinocroissant-ii1ox]

Welp i imagine if this Song was used in the scrapped level called moon rock zone

[@AbstractS04]

What I'm imagining rn: Star Light Zone (Good Future remix)

[@pyraswolf4263]

for some reason my brain started thinking of palmtree panic past combined with this. Amazing song, its a banger.

[@Sr1Sla]

omg that really made me cry, just listening the intro

[@kennyaustin429]

Amazing rendition! This is like an Act 2 theme would be like if Star Light Zone was in Sonic and Knuckles. I could imagine running along neon lights, big screens and futuristic buildings with new obstacles and challenges.

[@just2good]

Would it be possible for me to use this in a video with your permission?

[@johntayjinf]

sure you may use it

[@begonedamen]

@@johntayjinf Can I use this in my RPG game I am working on?

[@gooolixx]

@@begonedamen it's literally from sonic 1. this is a remix. the original is literally copyrighted.

[@ruskah0307]

@@begonedamen I mean as a fan game I'm sure it is, but an original property no way

[@eckitronix]

@@ruskah0307 Well I mean, as lenient Sega usually are about their products, or at least the wider Sonic Team overall, I still think I'd rather just use a facsimile of a Sonic song than an existing one. The game I've been working on, I originally wanted to heavily sample a few Michael Jackson songs for a couple of songs in the game. I don't think that'd go over well if I decided to sell my game for money. If I do sample things at all, I think I'm gonna do my best to do something new with the audio and then heavily bitcrush it. Copyright laws are, quite frankly, kinda garbage at times, especially if you can get into legal trouble for someone else's song. Eventually, it comes down to "did someone else make up a funny melody ever in their lives?" and then you have to think if prehistoric music is allowed and if the deep future when all music is already done makes all music illegal unless you're the one dude from 1972 who invented it and cause some cover band to be executed in 2471. That said, this cover is given permission, so I guess the responsibility would fall under the artist, and if Sega doesn't care, then that's just cool for everyone!

[@AlyssaCPA]

i set this to my alarm when i was in my junior/senior years of high school and now every time i listen to this i get nostalgic. good work man, always love your stuff!

[@VoltageWatts]

star light zone is a really hard one to get right and im happy to see you did it justice

[@fawkesthefox912]

Kinda feels like a Good Future version, to me, but Act 2 is also a very apt description. Well done!

[@DemoFunny2]

2:09 drives me absolutely kooky every fucking time, AWESOME shit man

[@GamermanGreene29]

Tee Lopes's version is still my favorite, but I think this is a close second! I like how it's extended at the beginning, similar to album versions of various Sonic & Knuckles songs, not to mention the fresh/chill vibes also present in Tee Lopes's version.

[@CHH7316]

Your version is the best. Gone are the days when there’s only trashy remix of Starlight Zone available on youtube 👍🏻

[@naeonixion]

Feels like door into summer...

[@Buttersbond]

Star Light Zone - Good Future, this is unbelievable how good it is, this is my 4th listening to this on repeat and I love everything about this, amazing work John!

[@sixdragon2213]

yes

[@BronsonBragg]

Some of those tones tickle my eardrums just right. also that chord progression change in the beginning threw me off but I got used to it REAL quick. Very tasty. great work.

[@RodirodDude]

Why are these so underrated? these are awesome!

[@SakuraSkyes]

this is probably based on Love Won't Wait by Bobby Caldwell. fits perfectly considering the intro to that song was probably sampled for star light. btw edit: the lyrics in the description are literally modified from Love Won't Wait. nice job John Tay.

[@HighDefBNG]

Very nice reimagination. Just love those bells.

[@WickerBasket9]

I'm getting major chill vibes in this, and that's perfect!

[@Sol_Z]

Yo I really love this remix! Star light zone is my favourite zone so this is ever better!

[@humildao5450]

this music is very relaxing to listen to, a great remix

[@atavious2491]

Love the city pop/plastic love influence this track has.

[@RodMerida]

Awesome arrangement! My most honest congratulations!, for this and the flying battery zone one, too.

[@breadtheloaf-tr1lo]

its the little changes that make it so much more groovy

[@j-type6275]

SOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

[@jess648]

this remix is so pleasant to listen to

[@BorkHammer40k]

By far the best remix of this zone that I've ever heard. Simply phenomenal work!

[@chromeCommodore]

mighty sounds like bobby caldwell's song "love won't wait"

[@whatsHisF]

pretty much the point

[@gameborge]

so chill

[@maxrichards5925]

Wow it’s beautiful. Truly spectacular

[@0verezee]

AYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[@YgorG]

[@koopydoopy8632]

[@thomasbender8280]

[@luckybeast1234]

[@LikelyLike22]

I have no words INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! 2000000/10

[@core2cascade]

bangers as usual

[@jeffersonfury]

wow this is genuinely fantastic!

[@not4nikiii]

I love this slower more chilled out version, it's beautiful. Honestly comes pretty close to the tee lopes versions in terms of beauty.

[@MatthewLimtheMad]

the download needed for me to do some work and mixing but I love the track

[@Amero2005]

I can finish this song without cry.. nostalgia hits..

[@Flame2960]

I love this one

[@bobobo6rel]

my first time hearing this and it feels like i heard it before thats how good it is

[@Steve_Mazza]

Wow, awesome re-arrangement of this classic tune! It keeps the same feel as the original, but takes it to a whole new level! (Act 4, if you will?) Very cool! :)

[@Dartagnan164]

That Toxic Cave transition at the end 👌

[@Red-Bun]

this fits so well

[@Clipperwhiz1]

Great remix :D

[@abramthefighters]

This is amazing!

[@doilusdevsgoodbadandtheugl9464]

favorite sonic 1 remix so far

[@DerangedHermit]

And now, your local forecast. Tonight, mostly clear with a chance of star light. Low 69.

[@ThrillerXero]

Sick af, Looks like it's a remastered version of sega's old games
