Man OutRun was so good. I wish we could have stayed forever in that era 🥲 Great work as usual my friend!

[@Iceferno]

Re-introducing the enhanced SOR1 style, which was used in my 2021 Violent Breathing and Last Soul remixes, as well as SOW4 favourite "Window Shopping". SOR1 'HD' is a Sega CD approach, featuring the usual base percussion, but also additional and upgraded sounds that exceed hardware limitations in an obvious way. SOR1 meets Redbook Audio, essentially.

[@MikeCaputo1]

Truthfully, I'd never played any Outrun games growing up. But you're pulled back the curtain on a great series and some incredibly good soundtracks! Amazing track as always!

[@MysteryEzekude]

I'm truly overjoyed to finally hear a remix of Cruising Line, my favourite song in 3D OutRun for the Nintendo 3DS! Very well done on recreating the song's melodies and chords!

[@smeej_]

I was transported to a world of bliss. . .

[@MrThunderwing]

Absolutely fantastic! Love Outrun, love Streets of Rage, realy interesting to see the two different music styles fusing here.

Cool, I was too addicted to the other OutRun you made on commission so now I can have a break on that one for a while lol 1:59 she seems to enjoy the music too

[@bibby5000]

I love this... those distict hypersonic bells at 3:28 (I worked at an arcade that had a rare version of outrun 2, I used to love repairing and cleaning that machine)

[@Iceferno]

Oh that's cool. Was it 2SP?

[@bibby5000]

@@Iceferno yeah, and had three seats that I would collaborate and test everymorning. You're UK right? It was in Bournemouth

[@goldinho]

[@jacobmiller6916]

Hey! This sounds beautiful! Keep up the great work Iceferno you rock! Excited to see what's next:) 3:14 kinda reminds me of your extended medley from SOW3: Hunter Edition

[@Iceferno]

Thanks. :) Yeah, this does have quite a medley quality to it, despite only being two tunes this time. Both very eventful tracks that were a lot of fun to merge.

[@jacobmiller6916]

@@Iceferno I'm happy you had fun making this absolute masterpiece of a song. Can't wait to see what's next as well as your OutTake album:)

[@Iceferno]

​@@jacobmiller6916 *OverTake, but thanks. :) I'm looking forward to it, plus I've been working on new entries in my Moonday track series. Hopefully can ready an EP release later in the year.

[@jacobmiller6916]

​@IcefernoPro my bad lol. Can't wait for the EP release hopefully.

[@arinzenwankwo986]

Love playing racing games and the music is good 👍

[@TheLegendRome]

[@Iceferno]

Thanks! Will hopefully have a smaller one to accompany it tomorrow. Really happy to be back making these again.

[@davidcastro7324]

Lovely 😍🌹 beautiful it's been a while good to hear from you 😮

[@Iceferno]

Happy to be back. :)

[@Lawson578]

Good Job, Iceferno Pro!

[@PragmatikReviews]

A nice long remix from the master! Good to hear after a while man!

[@HatLovingGamer]

Amazing, peak Iceferno goodness!!

[@KingNios]

And, of course, it sounds as good as it ever does ❤️

[@SapphireCutTV]

Outrun 2 was amazing on PS2! Great memories 👌 ❤️

[@MrThunderwing]

Hey Iceferno, would you mind if I used a bit of this track and your Outrunners Adventure one as a bit of backing track in a future Outrun video I'm going to do? I'd be talking over the top of it, so it wouldn't be a straight up reupload or anything and I'd give both videos of yours an on-screen acknowledgment and link in the video description. No worries if you don't want to.

[@Iceferno]

Yeah that sounds fine. Thanks for letting me know.

[@MrThunderwing]

@@Iceferno Thanks buddy, appreciate it!

[@benb3316]

Eh - nice but no... Sorry but bit era Outrun was so PERFECT it inspired a musical sub-genre of Vaporwave/Synthwave. I don't mean any disrespect to this re-make either except that I say in comparison its not good. Perhaps a Pixel art shader and some materials play might make it like the 3D effect they crudely but very successfully did with 2D and sprite scaling but would have if they could have if the tech existed at the time. A modern computer is like a Cray supercomputer from the era it was an arcade game in. A re-create for the nostalgia would need to have the sprite aesthetic, the feel and play (this one seems to do that part well) and then transcend it say with more adaptive music and a trip to the "Video Zone" where it's grids and vectors or some thing to honor the dreams of the past. Just one man's opinion, again no disrespect.

[@Iceferno]

You've grossly missed the point. This is a remix. The cover design is about highlighting the SOR1 sound in a new form. The background palm trees are literally from the OutRun 20th Anniversary, so it's incredibly ignorant to criticise the lack of grid or it "not being Synthwave enough". Splash Wave was the closest OutRun ever came to Synthwave. The original music draws inspiration from different styles and culture, Magical Sound Shower and Passing Breeze being more Latin in nature. Your criticisms stem from Kavinsky naming his album OutRun. There was no Synthwave takeover before that.

Great job Iceferno! 🧊🔥 (from Virtua @ RS)

[@Iceferno]

Hey Virtua! Good to see you, glad you enjoyed.
