    Smashing! Kelly strikes again. I feel like this cover is sort of a sequel to Spring Yard Zone's cover -- I spotted a few similarities. Spring Yard happens to be one of my favorites of y'all's, so it goes without saying that I really liked this too. The brass seems extra good in this cover -- really good arrangement. And that "Challenger Approaching!" feel at 1:30 felt amazing. Great stuff with Sonic so far! Really looking forward to hearing the next Sonic cover. Curious to see what you'll choose...
