You.. You get it completely. The glistening clear water graphics, the minimal but vibrant plants, the squeaky clean architecture and a bright blue sky in the back... That's what heaven is for me, early 2000's tropical videogame landscapes lol
Not even joking. I love this kind of stuff also. So the first thing that came to mind was “Damn…any place like this existing in the real world? I would go there in a heartbeat!”
@@DONKEYKONG260 ... vaporwave aims for a more cyber, 80's aesthetic. This is a more advanced 90's aesthetic with more solid graphics and lots of water. Nice try though, i guess
@@DONKEYKONG260 This stuff is also more akin to Frutiger Aero and y2k than it would with Vaporwave, just so you can be a bit more educated before babbling in comment sections! You seem to be all over the place here LOL
@@jello5508 I just saw this guy legit say something like “As a Connoisseur of all music, you make me upset at your writing.” I laughed hard. If this dude is a professional with a legitimate career, then I feel embarrassed at their behavior. People who really are experts in their fields are surely not this asshole-ish. As we can see at some of the other comments they made.
Hey, congrats to your firstborn son man!! I hope you and your little family have a good life now that your little son knows what good music sounds like! 😊
those are always annoying because they try to ride off of eccojams and floral shoppe, not understanding that theyre very heavily chopped and screwed looped samples beinf constantly fucked with or sometimes just left playing at the right length, never the entire song unedited
True, same here. When you don't want to people and need to forget useless things, here this comes to relax your mind and bring you back to the good ol days. Makes me want to dig in a closet and find a VMU from the Dreamcast, yees.
Not only is this faithful to original melodies from the Sonic games, it also masterfully interpolates the rhythms, instruments, and other sounds from '90s hip-hop, dance, and R&B, but also modern vaporwave. As a connoisseur of music from the '90s, I approve of this playlist a lot. Like... Oil Ocean Zone is so reminiscent of G-funk lowrider music that I thought it was an actual Snoop Dogg song for a second.
Yeah, very BattleCat in production; I remember first playing this level at my cousins house in Long Beach, Ca while the radio played 92.3 (a popular LA 90s hip hop station) in the background so this blend is blowing my mind. 👌🏾
Not really. This sorta music wasn't actually popular, just good for video games etc... you know what was popular in 1989-1992? Uh yeah Michael Jackson and r&b ....you can even hear the r&b influence on these video game vaporwave songs. We really did just create our own version of a nostalgic feeling that we liked better than the disgusting stale ugly sweater drug sweat smelly itchy asbestos cancer crack cocaome flourescent light hellish 80s or 90s that they were... rose colored glasses my friends
@AckzaTV Agreed there's some nostalgia in play, but they're not totally off base. Like the last half of Green Hill Zone. A good amount of this album has that warm (and rnb like you said) tonality that wasn't just present in games but in films and commercials, especially film credits Lol. Id say it's a fair statement.
Last night I listened to this and just started to cry. Maybe I'm a little baby, but maybe I just miss a place I've never been so goddamn much. This got me right in the feels. Thank you ❤️
i've been rocking this on repeat for months since I discovered it. I have to say, this is without doubt the best Sonic music cover I've ever heard. It's truly special what has been created here. It has it's own soul as a creative piece of music, the artist's presence is clear and it is unique, but it also pays deep respect to the original melodies and the spirit of the Sonic world. Thank you Funk Fiction & Game Chops for making this work of art.
My god, dude… The S3 MJ-“inspired” mini-boss integration into Angel Island Act 2 was the moment I knew you meant business ( 17:20 ). And the following xylo note is a serious “EyeWitness” intro throwback to us 90’s kids. Just brilliant: An absolute joy to soak in. And the background is so on point for all of it. Truly, only an artist, Sonic fan, and aficionado of 90’s culture could put all this together in one package. You have my ear, my thanks, and hopefully a wellspring of heartfelt recognition from anyone lucky enough to cross paths with this work. Sublime!
Can't tell you how beautiful Green Hill Zone is. Sounds just like the cassette tape tracks from when I was a kid. I smell the inside of the VHS player. It sounds like the credit roll on my childhood, in a way that feels happy and open-ended.
Can You Feel the Sunshine is one of my favorite Sonic tracks, and this remix goes extremely hard - especially when the lead synth comes in. To anyone who is thinking of skipping over this while listening: you'll regret it.
These are literally the best Sonic fan tracks I've ever heard! Whoever's made all of these has really understood the old-school hip hop, funk, and other 90's music trends that would've been the inspiration for the game tracks. Huge old throwback to back in the day with the Sega Mega Drive!
I hopped to Green Hill Zone, thinking "there's no way he can make this sound chilled and funky..." I was wrong. Gloriously wrong. This whole thing is a banger.
Really one of the best green hill covers ive ever heard. Its hard for alot of people to escape the original’s undeniable aesthetic but you really made it sound different while still being Green Hill Zone
"hey... the train, the one headed for the mystic ruins? yeah, that one, it will be departing fairly soon, so if you're going that way, be sure not to miss it... or do, whatever you want..."
Beginning at 0:10... It's ''Out Of Time'' by The Weeknd. Jim Carrey's Eggman is saying to us: ''This is Funk Fiction's Easy Listening Radio... Just Relax And Enjoy The Ride....'' Yeeeeeeeeeeeee
No joke I just woke up from a dream I had that was literally just me standing next to a radio that was playing the spring yard zone remix and I was like “DAMN THIS SLAPS” Best dream ever
I just saw this recommended to me...came in completely blind and have no knowledge of you or your work, but I want to say this: Is Sega knocking down your doors to hire you? If not, they're CRAZY --- You have created/mixed things in a way that are truly PHENOMENAL, and Sega or another company would be lucky to have you.
Spring Yard Zone has always been a favourite of mine for it's groove, but this is a whole other level of funky goodness that I can really get behind. It just so smooooothhh
Ah man. I have been procrastinating working on my project for hours. I accidentally ended up here after being buried in the recommendeds and reloading more than a COD player. Now I'm finally getting back to work, vibing. Much appreciation.
This is insane Edit: 9 days later I came back and this sh*t make me wanna cry. Aint no way you needed to go this hard! Sonic vibing to this sh*t right now I promise you! Edit 2: 10 months later this is indeed my go to playlist. Such a vibe man 💯
Yooo as a Sonic fan for over 30 years, this is such a nostalgic trip and It really feels like a masterpiece!! I'm glad I found this, thank you for this love letter!! If you are ever in the mood to do a sequel in the near future, we won't complain 😎
WAIT A MINUTE! I know I already commented (thank you for the heart, btw) but in the 10,000 times I've listened to this album since, I couldn't help but wonder ... "Gee, this person must've played No Straight Roads because those delicious piano vamps totally sound like they belong in the DJ Subatomic Supernova battle theme". Lo and behold that was YOU!!! Holy cow, I didn't realize I was already such a big fan of your work! Anyway thank you times two ❤
Just found this today--DAMN! This is incredible. It had me in the zone while I was coding. Wonderful! P.S. Had to put it on repeat--this whole thing is an EXPERIENCE. It went way harder than it needed to, and I love it! EDIT: 5 months later and the way I am STILL not over this beautiful piece of art
This is a masterpiece. Every track is fire. Doesn’t stray too far from the source material but elevates it to such a level that blows my mind. I teared up during the green hill zone 😂
Ay bro you really got the 90s Sonic fell that Sonic belongs in perfectly. 10-10. I actually might download this to listen when I'm outside and I never do that.
In the old days I scoured OCremix for Sonic remixes every week. This album makes me reminiscent of those days, great tracks Funk! Will enjoy for years to come, added to my Sonic Remix library.
You are one of those rare instances that I don't need to check out your other stuff to make sure there's consistent quality, before I click subscribe. You put goosebumps on me in the first 3s with this smooth 90's composition. This all fits for everything from studying to chilling to love-making. Thank you. The only horrible thing is each track not being a solid 4+ min.
Everybody thank you for all the love 🙏 gotta go smooth 💎😎
UPDATE: Sonic & Chill is now out on VINYL!!! (link in description ^^)
Thank you for a masterpiece ❤
This was so nice to hear. Amazing dude!♥️
😢 It's THAT beautiful 😍 🤩
Thanks 😊
❤️ Love your work!
Is there a video with marble zone alone, and station square alone?
You.. You get it completely. The glistening clear water graphics, the minimal but vibrant plants, the squeaky clean architecture and a bright blue sky in the back... That's what heaven is for me, early 2000's tropical videogame landscapes lol

one day i hope to do the same🤞🏼

That unborn child is already way cooler than I'll ever be
Hey, congrats to your firstborn son man!! I hope you and your little family have a good life now that your little son knows what good music sounds like! 😊
The BEST flow state soundtrack. Sonic mentality.
Yea I'm pretty sure I listen to this like 5 times a week
Finally some vaporwave with some production value instead of just taking a song and making it 5% slower.
Pls make Volume 2!
those are always annoying because they try to ride off of eccojams and floral shoppe, not understanding that theyre very heavily chopped and screwed looped samples beinf constantly fucked with or sometimes just left playing at the right length, never the entire song unedited
Someone I knew didn't like the slowed old music vaporwave because it "sounds like whales moaning"
one of those rare recommended TH-cam videos that knows exactly what I need
True, same here. When you don't want to people and need to forget useless things, here this comes to relax your mind and bring you back to the good ol days. Makes me want to dig in a closet and find a VMU from the Dreamcast, yees.
Super relatable experience
Same here
glad I got to experience this 😊
😂
It was for me I know that 💯
We already need a Volume 2. This is one of my go-to playlists.
Facts. Same for me.
It's about to be mine
They should take their time, worth it for hearing these epic chill beats
I now listen to this on a daily basis, when I'm drawing, when I'm reading, when I'm going to sleep. You stranger, understand my soul with this.
It's too good. Polished to perfection. Every sound is in the right place.
U gave me the same idea tht wht I'm doing now ❤❤❤❤
Lol i work vibing to this almost everyday
I draw to it too
This playlist is like having all the chaos emeralds injected into your veins
The level of comfort nostalgia endorphins that released seeing this thumbnail was insane
Oil ocean hood certified
no joke - that is G-Funk platinum.
Ayoooo it's my favorite on this mix. I thought I was the only one😂🧡 MY boy nasty on those keys
Hash Oil Ocean
JUST NEED ONE OF THOSE RAP VIDEO BOUNCING CARS TO SEAL THE DEAL 🚗🎶
=)
I thought somebody had booted up San Andreas!
Sonic and Vaporwave are an amazing match. Would absolutely love to see more like this in the future!
90s af :D
Alot of music genres could go with sonic
@@faz10do The whole series gave us so much music and so much variety! :D
Same!
True Af.
Chill zone act 2 got me in a grip! I keep replaying that song
Oil Ocean is definitely west coast vibes all the way.
Facts Machine!
yeah it is
How can a track go so hard and smooth at the same time?!
@@bizzarojerry That Part! 😎😎
sounds like a Dj quik track
levitated out of my chair for 43 minutes straight. thank u

Funk Fiction + Gamechops you guys are amazing together. I'm a 90s kid and this is perfect. Oil ocean zone and green hill are my favorite! Thank you!
Yeah, very BattleCat in production; I remember first playing this level at my cousins house in Long Beach, Ca while the radio played 92.3 (a popular LA 90s hip hop station) in the background so this blend is blowing my mind. 👌🏾
Ima just cry rn
Pure brazilian bossa
Green Hill Zone is a total baby maker
Finally... What I feel Sonic would listen to on a peaceful evening.
Background music while I'm making my game. Hope the algorithm treats this well.
background music while i'm driving on the highway
Early 2000’s Sonic visuals are the perfect transition from the Vaporwave era to the Frutiger Aero era 💎🐬
This isn't vaporwave this is RnB😊
@@brandonleemoss he's talkin visuals -- not to mention that the OP says the style is "hi-fi vapor" in the description.
spring yard zone goes off HARD
this is how 1989-1992 sounds
Mostly while play mario3

Ackza 90s were awesome my dude
I'll be driving a bit this weekend... So this is my road trip sorted 👍
Nice!
Funny seeing you here
I did the same thing. Great mix for midnight driving. 😊
I went to another state listing to this as sleeping music
This is why Sonic was appreciated in the 90's.
Can't wait for summer 2024 to blast this in the yard
Now's your chance!! Hit A to continue!
I can just imagine this being the pool underneath one of Tails' workshops and he just comes down here to chill in a lounger sometimes.
Green Hill Zone seriously goes so hard, so good ❤
Listen to the jazz piano version by Jon Batiste if you liked this one. It's also excellent and gives the whole thing a different tone
It’s sooooo chill. One of my faves on the original Sonic.
Sonics bedroom music for Amy lol
Last night I listened to this and just started to cry. Maybe I'm a little baby, but maybe I just miss a place I've never been so goddamn much. This got me right in the feels. Thank you ❤️
Marble Zone is a masterpiece. been on loop all day.

that springyard zone took me right back to late 80’s early 90’s
Chill Zone going into Oil Ocean is so STRONG.
Bro I love this background. It's my entire childhood joy in an aesthetic
"hey... the train, the one headed for the mystic ruins? yeah, that one, it will be departing fairly soon, so if you're going that way, be sure not to miss it... or do, whatever you want..."

Lame
No joke I just woke up from a dream I had that was literally just me standing next to a radio that was playing the spring yard zone remix and I was like “DAMN THIS SLAPS”
Best dream ever
Thas a dope dream
Listening to this while coding, absolute jam, writing vectors has never felt so fun.
Oil Ocean sounds like g-funk. I love it.
I also like that Angel Island is closer to the act 2 version.
Sounds like it jumped straight outta the late 80's early 90's. Nostalgic feeling.
Did this just come out of nowhere? I'm so here for it.
This is exactly how 10 year old me heard these songs… magnificent classics! ❤
oil ocean remix like "aww shit, here we go again"
Straight up sounds like gangster music.
Reminds me of the GTA San Andreas Theme.
All you had to do was follow the damn oil, Sonic!
This is what us folks who grew up playing Sonic are listening to nowadays. Damn I feel old but a classic never dies!
this hits in the smoothest, funkiest way i wasn’t expecting and i love that
You're hot af ;)

I grew up on sonic genesis games and love this era of music and its modern revival. This is like tailor-made for me. My ears are in heaven.
This drastically altered the trajectory of my day. Thank you. Like, no, for real. Thank YOU! 🎶
It makes my day to hear that! That's awesome :D and you're very welcome!
Literally just said the same thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is a flawless project
Ah man. I have been procrastinating working on my project for hours. I accidentally ended up here after being buried in the recommendeds and reloading more than a COD player.
Now I'm finally getting back to work, vibing.
Much appreciation.
This is insane
Edit: 9 days later I came back and this sh*t make me wanna cry. Aint no way you needed to go this hard! Sonic vibing to this sh*t right now I promise you!
Edit 2: 10 months later this is indeed my go to playlist. Such a vibe man 💯
Just wanna say this is my daily music at my job
The Hydrocity so good I had to restart it halfway so I could listen to it harder.
Comfort Zone feels like the 80s and i love it
Yooo as a Sonic fan for over 30 years, this is such a nostalgic trip and It really feels like a masterpiece!! I'm glad I found this, thank you for this love letter!! If you are ever in the mood to do a sequel in the near future, we won't complain 😎
I'm a simple man; I hear a Fairlight CMI "Ahh" patch, I'm in love. I was SOOO thrilled to hear that in "Comfort Zone".
OH! OH! Chemical Plant Zone's M1 organ tastes deliciously of Gypsy Woman. I am LOVING these parallels.
MARBLE ZONE OH MY GOD
my god all of these songs are immaculate
As a boogie funk collector with 20+ years of collecting and experience I can say this is extremely well done and authentic . Gg
I love the video for this. It’s a nice 1990’s pc vibe that you just don’t see any more.
This is really cool! Thank you for the love and care you put into this!
This is just perfect. It makes you feel like you're in the 90's. What a blast to the past!

Dude that Green Hill Zone song was so dreamy and brought back childhood memories
That Station Square remix scratches an itch I didn't even know I had 🔥
That victory chime in the first track is absolutely beautiful. Can’t stop listening
This is a masterpiece. Every track is fire. Doesn’t stray too far from the source material but elevates it to such a level that blows my mind. I teared up during the green hill zone 😂
Mission accomplished 😂❤
The Crystal Waters "She's Homeless" piano line interpolation in Angel Island Zone was really a cherry on top!
i was actually expecting a vgm compilation when i clicked this -- the result is a million times better! holy hell this is beautifully done
This helped me focus on the essay I was typing up for class. Thanks for the funky beats, Funk!
Bro honestly this is like one of the chillest set of songs ever and I’m here for it man
This is my current favorite album.
Bought it on Bandcamp, loaded up my DJ laptop with all it's tracks.
That Angel Island Zone remix is sick. Like, dang dude, you got something good going here
This is honestly my go-to playlist for anything I'm chill with
I didn't even Know Sonic could be THIS Chill Damn I Needed this Today with such a Busy work day mounting
I cant tell you how awesome this is. This feels like how I remember hearing the Sonic Adventure soundtrack when I was a kid
You've never missed, man, and I don't know if you ever will.
Damn.. thank you, man. 🙏🙏
This is just flawlessly executed. You captured exactly the type of vibe that we all loved about Sonic games when we played them as kids.
My friend I will buy this vinyl so fast if it becomes available. This is stellar, thank you so much
Thank you my friend :) vinyl comes out early 2024. Hold tight!

I've listened to this every day for almost a week now. It deserves a lot more views you did something really good here.
I don't have words for how good these songs are
