Cool Edge (Day) - Sega Genesis Remix

It has been a long time since my last upload. I wanted to post something else that was "ready" but due to external factors I lost motivation. However, I got it back when I decided to make this for the holiday season. This is one of my favorite tracks in Sonic Unleashed and one of my favorite video game songs of all time. Tomoya Ohtani is a legend! I wanted to do this all the way back when I was doing Unleashed arrangements more often, but knew I could not give it justice at my skill level and without good electric guitar synths. That changed now, as I finally got to using the Thunder Force IV guitars and bass. Man they're so good! I just HAD to sample the original drums because they're an iconic part of this song. Fun fact the samples here take up more space than the entirety of Sonic 1. I probably could have made more efficient use of the samples but I wanted it to sound more authentic to the original. There are a few things here and there that aren't perfect, but I think this has finally topped my V2 of Crisis City for the remix I am most proud of. We will see if that changes in the future.
This was done from scratch using Furnace, and VGM2TFI to get the instruments from Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Thunder Force IV and Sonic 3D Blast. I then modify said instruments to my needs. I sampled the original drums using Lalal.ai. I used Corrscope for the oscilloscope view of the audio channels, and Aseprite for all of the sprite editing/spritework. If you guys have any suggestions for another song I should cover, comment down below!
This remix can be used anywhere except for reupload, as long as you give me credit. I hope you have a great day!

Just in case you want a breakdown of where I sourced the instruments:
Backing guitars: Sea of Flame - Stage 7 (Thunder Force IV)
Melody guitar: Fighting Back - Stage 1A (Thunder Force IV)
Bass: Fighting Back - Stage 1A (Thunder Force IV)
Secondary bass: Diamond Dust Zone Act 1 (Sonic 3D Blast)
Beach guitar - modified from Endless Mine (Sonic 3)
Bells - Chome Gadget (Sonic 3)
Chorus lead: modified from Sky Sanctuary (Sonic & Knuckles)
I am in no way affiliated with Sega or their subsidiaries. Sonic the Hedgehog, the Sega Genesis/Megadrive, some of the sprites used, and the original music piece are all property of Sega.

[@kaxcommentssomethingREAL]

question, did you pay for Lalal to be able to download those samples? did you find another way? i'm curious
this cover's great btw!
didn't know the genesis could support long amen break samples without it start chugging, i'm not sure what program you use, but that's seriously impressive for the genesis
