The inspiration for this song came from the Super Soul Bros album "Fireball", which has been the music playing in my car for a few weeks now. If you're not familiar with them already, they're a video game cover band who perform funky renditions of video game music, similar to what I do! Their rendition of Aquatic Ruin Zone is one of my favorite tunes of theirs, and I decided I'd give it my own spin! I took inspiration from a track called "Caribe" by Michel Camilo, which was brought to my attention by one of my teachers at Berklee, and Hiromi Uehara's trio!
I haven't played Sonic 2 quite yet, as I just finished playing Breath of the Wild (amazing experience), and am currently finishing Sonic 1! Gotta say, not a fan of Sonic 1's controls so far, feels pretty sluggish to me. I've got high hopes for Sonic 2, though!
One video that helped me a lot in the production of this arrangement was jazztutorial's Salsa jazz piano video ( • How To Play Salsa Jazz... ). I was watching this video while waiting for a doctor's appointment, and I got the idea to use a piano montuno in this arrangement. It was a ton of fun to delve further into salsa piano!
I make jazz covers & remixes of video game music every other Saturday at 12:30 PM EST on my channel! My channel combines my loves of jazz and video game music, creating covers and remixes you'll enjoy.

I'm pretty sure Hedgehogs (and foxes for that matter) should be able to swim. Oh, SEGA..

[@KeyBlackStudios]

insaneintherainmusic The fact that Sonic can't swim was actually due to a mistake -- the creators thought hedgehogs couldn't swim, when in reality they love water.

[@tap5263]

IN FACT! HEDGIES FLOAT

[@Julia-e]

damn, I wish they would let you float on the water in Sonic Mania, but probably not

[@kingdomofthecubes9295]

Love your music a lot.

[@JackieM.]

SquigglyDigg That's actually wrong, in a way some hedgehogs actually hate water, like mine. He can't swim and he hates bath time so i guess they were right in a way. Sonic is just one of those hedgehogs that can't swim. (Like me... except im not a hedgehog)

[@Joacooll]

2 years after and this cover is still one of the best sonic covers i've ever heard and gives me nostalgic vibes :,)

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you so much! I still really dig this arrangement, it turned out super duper well!

[@Joacooll]

@@insaneintherainmusic oh heck yea and i hope more jazz arrangement like this in the future! Regards from Chile ;)

quite the "musician face" you got there.

shhh, the piano is doing it for free, keep it a secret.

What is this Jazz Challenge I hear off?

[@jnsk1a2b3c]

Check out Carlos' previous video

[@kpdelaney6460]

3:46 some Zelda. Nice!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks! The chord changes right there reminded me a lot of the Fairy Fountain theme, so I just kinda threw it in there during my solo!

[@NinjaristicNinja]

insaneintherainmusic It sounded great! Amazing job as always.

[@willschryver]

I hear that that motif is pretty common in Japanese music.

[@seththemage6029]

Kinda funny that you would quote that theme because it's also the Water World theme from SMB3.

[@benjaminkenobi21]

You called this one out, but you missed the one at 2:28

[@sephzoltan]

Sorry, I know this is an old video, *and* I know you're taking a well-deserved break, but hopefully you don't mind me talking about how much your rendition of this has meant to me. I finished some really big exams a while ago after every exam that went well, I'd play this in my headphones as I walked home. When my mum was sick last year due to cancer and chemotherapy and I needed a break from it all, I'd listen to this and it'd reboot my spirits whenever I needed it to. When lockdown occurred and someone very dear to me had their mental health take a turn for the worst, I'd listen to this. Thank you. Thank you so much for making this beautiful music, as it has done nothing but soothe my soul over the trials of the last year. Regardless of how long your break is (in which I hope you're taking all the time you need), I just wanted to post this here. Just so that you knew how much your music has helped me :)

[@haydanoc8779]

[@stocchinet]

3:55 when you are so jazzed on that you hit the wrong chord but you don't give a fuck cause it still sounds awesome anyway

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Energy > note choice in that situation!

[@moonmedic2862]

stocchinet there are no WRONG chords in jazz!

[@stocchinet]

Moon Medic My piano teacher always says that :-)

[@christopherrapczynski204]

Except for the part where that was incredibly jarring and offputing, yeah.

[@CananaMan]

wow until you mentioned it I didnt notice the wrong chord because there was so much soul in it

[@wyatt6097]

You know... this sounds kinda like Spain

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Yeah definitely! I've already ripped off Spain in another video of mine so I didn't use the same changes or anything, but there's definitely a similarity there :)

[@rockturtle99]

If you really want Spain listen to the super soul brothers take

[@joanganan832]

totally

[@doozdoozy1330]

@@joanganan832 Yep

[@s.o.s.pnaruto9523]

Yes! I said the same thing. When I discovered Spain, I thought Sonic took some ideas from it lol. I played Sonic first so didn't know about Spain until I started learning Jazz. 😅😅

[@KianKun]

Those accelerandos going towards sonic speed got me feeling some sort of way.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Kian R this whole arrangement is a representation of Sonic's running, I just realized... you start slow, gain momentum and then you're at top speed for basically forever. Maybe I'm reading too deep into this...

[@KianKun]

insaneintherainmusic that's a deep and lengthy metaphor for Sonic's running. Especially in water levels, haha.

[@Kamex]

Really awesome to see you doing Sonic stuff, Carlos! Especially since Sonic Mania is around the corner. I'm so stoked for it!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thanks a ton! I actually wasn't planning for this arrangement to coincide with the arrangement of Sonic Mania at all, but I realized it partway through working on this arrangement that I had made that happen!

[@BouncyGlowsMusicRoom]

Why did it take me a whole two years to discover this brilliant Aquatic Ruin remix? You are insanely talented. Keep it up with what you're doing!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Thank you so so much! I appreciate it, and I don’t plan to stop any time!

[@La_Win69]

Aquatic ruin but it was produced by t-square

[@richstokesy]

That was excellent work sir, nice addition with the Zelda references too. Throwing in the intro to Toto's "Africa" a few times was a brilliant touch!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

LMAO that reference was not a reference to "Africa" at all! It's so funny that you noticed that, and I see exactly how you thought that!

[@richstokesy]

Haha, fair enough! XD It just sounds so similar to the Africa intro and that song is one of my favourites (actually seeing Toto play it live at the Royal Albert Hall in London next year).

[@Incompetent_Hero]

Watching you nail that beginning was super intense

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Took me a few takes to get it right... but it came out how I wanted it to in the end :D

[@charlesflowers1010]

If Aquatic ruin was in Sonic Generations, it would sound like this!

[@thevgmlover]

3:45 FAIRY'S FOUNTAIN. 3:58 EDGAR WINTER'S FRANKENSTEIN!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I knew about Fairy Fountain, but I had no idea that Frankenstein song even existed...

[@thevgmlover]

It's a classic among guys like me who used to listen to old 70s, 80s, and 90s rock.

[@TayTheDay]

No way. I paused at 2:35 after hearing a neat Frankenstein progression and assumed it was intentional. Now I'll hit play again to find the Zelda reference and later Edgar Winter vibes again ❤

[@TayTheDay]

Oh yeah

[@nthgth]

@@insaneintherainmusic dude. You're a great musician but damn, that's one _HELL_ of a blind spot, man. "Frankenstein??" Seriously?

[@davidguthriemusic]

Dude, this is one of the best arrangements you've ever done! Fantastic piano all over this, and seriously creative rhythm work too. That piano solo at 3:00 all the way 3:58 was AMAZING!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I'm so glad that you think it's one of the best I've ever done! That's my goal for every arrangement, thanks so much :)

[@matiasblasi_music]

I also think the same, i've listened a lot of times. Also KK Bossa with Sab, the two solos are beautiful, and then when he plays the melody with both instruments... no words

[@forteop2299]

Insanentherainmusic you’re really good,you are my favorite arranger,I learned from you a lot dude

[@_samikoivisto]

I love how the beginning sounded like a warp song from Ocarina of Time

[@insaneintherainmusic]

You're right! Most of the ocarina songs are in the same key as the intro here :)

[@eugeniomoralescastillo9312]

Sami Koivisto listen to minute 3:45 - it sounds like great fairy font's theme xD

Great work as usual! I don't know if this is a thing or not but I'd love to see a cover of Chemical Plant Zone. That is probably my favorite zone in Sonic 2.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Chemical Plant Zone is one of my most requested songs of all time! I definitely will do it someday... but I think I need to take some time to make sure I do it right :)

[@NachoFilms1337]

[@NTa03-08]

Awesome and fast cover! >Will you do a Sootopolis city cover someday?, it would be really great. =>

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Yes! I'd love to arrange Sootopolis, I've just gotta find the right occasion :)

[@otocinclus4600]

insaneintherainmusic Awesome! I'll be waiting for it!

[@hurricanehaon]

I was pleasantly surprised by this arrangement. I haven't seen you arrange something for a small jazz combo, and I am super impressed by how hard this grooved. The piano intro was not only super innovative and interesting to listen to, but also featured the best faces I've ever seen you make. The bass and tenor fit perfectly into what was established by the piano and stayed in the pocket the entire time. Solos were very creative and fit well with the backgrounds. 3:44 was a very appreciated reference to the file select music in The Legend of Zelda and I know you planned in advance to pull that out for your piano solo. I tried to find something to leave you for constructive criticism to get better like I always do, but I couldn't find a single thing that I felt you could have improved on. In short, I think this is the best arrangement/cover you have made to date, and I am very impressed with how far you have come these past few years. I am very pleased with how you have progressed as a musician and I hope you continue to do great things with music in your life!

[@siegewolf7834]

Even after 5 years, it's still one of his best covers

[@SeaMager]

I haven't played an actual Sonic game (unless you count adventure 2 Chao garden) I have never heard the original version of this song but this sounds absolutely gorgeous

[@themothreborn]

everyone probably appreciates how your skills have improved over time, but I'm here to tell you you've gotten really good at the "blues faces"

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Hehe, there's something to appreciate in every aspect of the video! Thanks :)

[@TheMissMousey]

man this reminds me of my improv solos because it's like man there's no such thing as a wrong note if you keep rhythm and energy

[@insaneintherainmusic]

To a certain extent, yeah! I mean, that's Thelonious Monk's whole thing. He would play "wrong notes" with such intent and purpose in a way that only he could do... what a genius.

[@insaneintherainmusic]

Yes, it feels great to focus on passion songs! Granted, I don't think I'll ever completely disregard what you guys want to see / hear, but I think I need to focus on myself a bit more, for the time being!

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I was just happy that I got a good take, haha! Thanks for checking this out :)

[@Splarff]

insaneintherainmusic haha that's neat. No problem. I never just check out a cover. I play it until my ears break or a new cover is released.

[@Playhard935]

Will we perhaps see a miror b colosseum cover in the future?

[@insaneintherainmusic]

That's a great idea, and I can totally see how this arrangement made you think that! Thanks for watching :)

[@ryanhacker5259]

Playhard935 think he already made one, look in the Pokemon playlist

[@insaneintherainmusic]

I've done 3 (wow) renditions of the Miror B theme from Pokemon XD! They're different tunes :)

[@Playhard935]

insaneintherainmusic I enjoyed all of the renditions of the xd themes and the most recent one is the one I like the most, it'd be cool to see what you can do with the really upbeat colosseum theme

[@TomFewchuk]

How come there's so few comments on here about the intro being exactly like Spain? My KZbin was on autoplay in the background and I 100% thought it had just jumped off VGM covers and onto a Spain cover - I had zero indication this was a video game cover until I clicked back to it

[@ShuklaInToonTown]

Really seems like you were having fun with this one! Aquatic Ruin Zone is one of my all time favorites, and the music has always been my favorite part...to me, it's a great example of what you can do to express a theme through music, even when you don't have many tracks to use, and have to keep it simple (in this case to work on the console). As for this piece, it felt like you were really letting your own style take over the music at certain points, especially during the solos, which I thought was awesome...it felt very free-flowing, but it always came back to the basic rhythm, almost like you were using the song as a template for you to experiment with your own ideas, rather than just covering the track with a solo in the middle. Kinda different from your usual stuff, but I liked this better! Hope this is a sign of things to come. The ebb and flow of the tempo and dynamics worked really well. I can definitely here the influence from Hiromi Uehara's work. Lots of creativity, I really liked it!

[@austinshanghai]

AHHHHHHHHH SO INTENSE

[@NachoTubio]

Love how the song from Zelda's Fairy Fountains slipped in at 3:46
