Tee Lopes - Mystic Cave Zone (Official Sonic The Hedgehog 2 HD - Alpha Release)

[@Lime-op18xv]

SEGA knew they stood no chance competing with Tee's music. That's why they hired him.

[@italomango]

Tee was killin' it way back before we noticed him.

We? Speak for yourself. I've been listening to his music for years. Since the beginning of the Sonic2HD project, actually.

[@Jinxed625]

@Movie Sonic its an iconic level and soundtrack from sonic 2 and gets no love from anywhere officially related. I know chemical plant is MORE iconic, but they didn't need to use it in 3 games over the past decade.

[@ThomasMarioFan_11]

@@Jinxed625 agreed! Cant stop tapping my feet!

[@chillway5776]

I fell like that the theme "mystic" should be explored more if the zone appears in a future game.

A few days ago, I was this close to the morgue...and then I was given a second chance. I'm still on the force, but I'm not Detective Brown anymore. Now they've got a new name for me. They call me... _INSPECTOR GADGET_ ."

[@Mecha120]

The project's been cancelled over a year because of a problem with the main programmer not allowing anyone else to touch his source code. He basically had plans to commercialize this for his own monetary gain.

[@AverageTechReview]

Mecha120 what a dick move by that guy

[@amalgamatewisdom]

Mecha120 That guy is an idiot. That's why most fan-made games/mods/remakes are usually open-source and take donations to make money.

[@SupaSonicBoom10Clipz]

Justin Pickette why do you have to die in pain and sorrow? WHY?

[@GlassMufasa]

News is that the project just rebooted with a new engine. "On June 23rd, 2014, The Facebook page for Sonic 2 HD announced that they had begun work again on the fan game. The reason for this is the fact that a fan of the project independently created and submitted his own engine to Vincent, for evaluation. After integrating the art assets from the alpha release and successfully testing it, Vincent began to let the rest of the prior team members know, deciding to pick up where they left off save for those who were unavailable due to real life obligations."

[@brisklloydavator]

you are the best sonic remixer to ever walk on planet mobius

[@nmemassive]

100%! Thank you to Sega for seeing this genius & hiring him to be part of the team. What Tee Lopes did for Sonic Mania is majestic on every level. Sonic games should be made with that level of love involved because the future games should be on par with how great that Sonic Symphony was for the 30th Anniversary.

[@DomineSonic]

This is some Streets of rage shieeet! Awesome!!

Wouldn't it be awesome if Tee Lopes does remixes for the Street of Rage series?

[@dustydust4677]

If you do revisit this song, keep the drums man. They are so sick and very 89/90' new jack swing. Needs that sickening slap bass from the original. Also while im here, your work on mania was outstanding. PS hugely appreciate you not changing hydrocity save for updated sounds. It manages to simultaneously sound fresh and also exactly the same, its pure magic.

Bass doesn't have the same presence it had in the original. Really needs to be louder.

[@vegeta30000]

Tee Lopes revisit it? mystic cave is one of my most favorite vgm's ever. all remixes available on youtube seem to fall short, but I enjoyed this one the most. If you currently have knowledge on how to make it better I eagerly await that release!
