[@JustKing1]

This is really Ice Cap with Lyrics

[@ChaseMC215]

DopeX In fact, IT'S THE SAME SONG AS ICE CAP ZONE THEME, BUT IT'S NOT MIDI

[@AnonymousDoggo]

It's more the other way around. Ice cap zone is Hard Times without lyrics. I think Hard Times came first, it just wasn't released for a long time.

[@soooowful]

DopeX good tho init 😊

[@skinwalker69420]

It was even made on the same sound chip.

[@MicklePickle]

Anonymous Doggo 2019 hard times was completed in 1982 but wasn’t apparently released for another 26 until it was on an album called “The Complete Jetzons”, I might be wrong about all of this so 👌

[@victisomega4248]

I really REALLY wished they would've had Jim Carrey mention a line about "Hard Times" in a scene in Sonic 2. I'd have been thrown out of the theatre clapping and cheering lol.

[@harbycolonelmiles]

Dude, I would have screamed and cried lmao. I would have loved that. Everyone else would have been like "wtf". Note: people were cheering about Preston plays being in the movie in my theater, but it was dead silent when shadow appeared. I screamed in the theater

but the problem is he didn't edit it it's the exact same instrumental lmao

[@quillion3rdoption]

@@surreal6055 He erased the percussion from the Genesis version. Makes it sound smoother.

[@coldzero8584]

@@quillion3rdoption he also combines the act 1 and 2 versions in the guitar solo so the genesis version is quieter, always thought that was a nice touch

[@alieneko_nyo]

Yeah, this is the best version

[@SydneyCarton2085]

Congratulations, you managed to mash up the two tracks without losing the character of each and only having them compliment each other very well. I say this version is better than each original, even electronica element from 16 bit Sonic 3 goes well with this 80s track. These tracks were made for each other. Bravo

[@Kajichuu]

Beautifully said~ its like two souls dancing as one, not in disarray, but harmony.

[@Myriachan]

There's a reason for that. The Ice Cap Zone music was written by Brad Buxer, keyboardist for The Jetzons. Hard Times was an unreleased track of the Jetzons until this release a decade ago.

[@borinightmare]

Hard Times happiest days of my life. Brad Buxer is a genius! We have to thank him for this awesome track from 1982.

[@lilmattere]

So THIS is why Ice Cap Zone got different music in the PC Version....

[@DarkShadowFilms101]

Just when you think you know everything about Sonic, something else emerges and proves you wrong! Great job with this mash-up! It sounds awesome!!

[@DM-sq8rn]

""" While Buxer worked in collaboration with Jackson, the duo composed music for the 1994 video game, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which included synthesized, instrumental versions of the then unreleased Jetzons song "Hard Times"[13] and the future Jackson song, "Stranger in Moscow"."""

That data is real, confirmed

[@gentarofourze]

This is why interpretation is important, and I can't remember is that was the official wording. if we go by multiple sources then he was involved but nowhere has confirmed how much work he did or what sort of work he did, a few things just say he discussed what songs he thought should go in (with other people of course) and gave his opinion on sound quality, that would make sense given one it has been said he didn't want his name on the credits as he thought the quality was not good enough, so in other words he may of been a form of advisor whilst others did the huge bulk of work.

Fue algo tremendo enterarme de esto. Resulta que esta canción era inédita de este grupo, y años más tarde, el tecladista del grupo (ex-tecladista, creo) colaboraba junto a Michael Jackson en la música de Sonic 3 y aportó la canción de la cual se hizo la versión instrumental que conocemos. Ahora que se sabe que la canción fue lanzada como bonus track hace pocos años, el misterio está resuelto: no hubo ningún plagio. Ambas resultan ser muy buenas en su contexto.

[@DaVince21]

米国製 - Made in the US. I have no idea what the relation of that bit of Japanese is to the song (since I don't know The Jetzons at all), but this is quite a flawless mix!

[@michaeljfan9720]

Maybe it's supposed to be ironic, since the writing is in Japanese and not American English?

[@Dan-TechAndMusic]

Yu Narukami The song was never released.

[@reemeroma2156]

It's Chinese but can be read in Japanese with the same meaning.

[@Hambrack]

I think that's just there as a brand thing.

[@Kokomadeta]

It's the album. In 2008, independent label Fervor Records reissued Made in United States as The Complete Jetzons and included several previously unreleased tracks. The Complete Jetzons was followed in 2013 by a further collection entitled The Lost Masters, which was also issued by Fervor.

Finding out your favorite sonic song is a actual song is really something, I used to listen to ice cap just for fun lol

[@Procyonidae]

A shame that a quality 80s New Wave song is going to forever be thought of as "That Sonic Song"...

[@Segorange]

I think this song will still be viewed as a great song on it's own. Of coarse, people have realized that this sounds exactly like Ice Cap Zone. But there are a lot of people falling in love with it just because it such 80's goodness. Me included. Sure, of coarse there are a few people who see it as a Sonic song and nothing else. But I think it has also caused people to really appreciate 80's music. I think that the fact that this song was put in a Sonic game adds value to it. It is not often where songs are chosen to be re-worked to fit into a game.

[@crimsondragon20]

Segorange It doesn't just sound like it, it IS the Ice Cap Zone song. They used the beat for Sonic 3

[@Ashura96]

I believe Brad Buxer probably based Ice Cap on Hard Times because the song went unreleased until 2008. I think had Hard Times been released, Ice Cap as we know it would be something entirely different.

[@smilingme123]

Because it is that Sonic song. It was unreleased for years...

[@TackyRackyComixNEO]

Honestly, it's a shame it wasn't released when the band was around. I feel like if the band had some more publicity, the song could've become a big hit.
