Nocturne, reimagined | Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood [Cover]

friend requested i reimagine this track "with a Metroid Prime-esque atmosphere" with a generous tip thrown in, so i cranked this out in a couple days and glad to say we're both happy with it
i know that the original was the product of crunch and legal issues, but it's still so bizarre to me that they picked a bad midi of Big Arms for the final dungeon when it's an eggman theme that afaik has nothing to do with angel island or anything echidna related.
i kept the spirit with some similar notes and even a "corrupted" version of one of the additions made to the Gens 3DS version of Big Arms, but otherwise tried to make something totally new out of it
i do wish sonic would try being an RPG again instead of slapping RPG elements into the flagship games. it's been long enough since Chronicles flopped/Ken Penders destroyed the canon and indirectly caused all of the mandates, SEGA please you're leaving good ideas and good money on the table

*This* was the vibe I always felt Nocturne or remixes of it should've leaned further into, that eerie foreboding instead of being a diet Big Arms. Thank you sincerely for finally making the dream a reality.

This rocks, it's really got creepy hyper tech tribe feeling nailed down. The synthetic sounds mixed with the choir, drums, and ambience is really unsettling.

Why, is this so underrated

[@cosplaypichu6798]

I've subscribed in hopes of getting more chronicles bangers.
Maybe give the battle themes a try

So, interesting thing, there is actually a fanmade remake of Sonic Chronicles in the works. I just checked, it's still in development, just... slowly. It's called the "Sonic Chronicles: Reimagined Project"
Perhaps you could see if they'd use this track in their game? Just a thought

[@Moonswirly]

the idea is neat and i appreciate the thought, but right now it looks like A: they've already got someone called Gecklo on their team doing music and B: they seem to be primarily focused on UI and moving from Unity to Godot based on a cursory look at their twitter
i mean if they ever got a hold of me i'd be happy to help, but at this current stage it doesn't seem worth bothering them and reaching out. i don't want another SA4A situation where a bunch of work just goes unused indefinitely, including stuff that to this day i can't post
