Wow! This very well may be your best one yet! The song keeps the tempo of the present tune, but still incorporates motifs from both of the Future timelines. Around 0:18 the song transitions into the main melody of the good future track (“The past is beautiful isn’t it? So much brilliant architecture in the background, all different types of plants around, this is truly wondrous!”), continuing on until 0:50, when it takes on the bad future theme (“Good as it may seem, Robotnik will still take over. Destroy the generator or all will be lost.”) Almost seems like an “echo” of the bad future reminding Sonic what’s at stake. In the background, it’s similar to that vocal bit at the end of the present track. Great piece!
Also in regard to people comparing this to Bouncy’s rendition, his seems more like just a remix of the present using a similar compression to that of the past tracks. Yours seems more like its own unique piece, and would work better in a game overall. Both of you are indeed talented musicians in your own rights though!
It's interestant because Good Future and Past versions of the stage have circular loops, and Bad Future and Present have loops in a different format. (Sorry my english is not that good, I'm Brazilian)
This fits the atmospheric and psychedelic nature of the US Soundtrack so well! This has to be my favorite Past US song that you've made so far, I love it so much!
When I first clicked on this theme, I was half-expecting an original tune, since Stardust Speedway is unique in that its US soundtrack is a collection of melodies rather than just different variations of the same theme. But THIS!!! I love how you seamlessly fused all three Stardust Speedway US tunes into one while simultaneously creating a new track! I could never have asked for a better "P" Mix for Stardust Speedway US.
That's the case for all the stages in Sonic CD but 1 or 2. That's why I feel like this should be an original tune: because Collision Chaos was the only one that wasn't thst.
This music kind of has a romantic and calming feel, like your thinking, "Hey, this is a very beautiful place, let me take awhile and appreciate this with you." Which also kind of makes sense because in this stage, you find and race Metal Sonic to save Amy, who is in love with Sonic.
I love how the calm atmosphere perfectly blends with the melody of the Good Future, hinting at the good things to come. This makes you realize that there’s still a chance to fix the evil doing of Dr. Robotnik.
This is probably my favorite past track of yours. I love the way you incorporate the present, good future, and bad future into this one so much, and I only just noticed the bad future part as I was writing this comment. Just goes to show that each timeline melody doesn't sound shoehorned in and instead all feel very natural.
One of my favorites in this series that you’ve done! I’m thinking of getting the Steam release and modding these songs in for a US soundtrack playthrough, it would be a cool new way to experience the game. (Ideally, it’d be best if someone could make a mod that uses these for the US soundtrack but keeps the originals for the Japanese soundtrack- in other words one that can be kept on permanently so I don’t have to turn the mod off every time I want to play with the Japanese soundtrack! I have no idea how realistic such a mod would be, though.)
Woah, the key change in this past theme works wonders! I personally would've gone for a more Roman or Greek feel for the stage, but this peaceful jungle-esque sound works as well. I like how you took most elements from the present SS US theme, which is my favorite of the bunch.
I really like the pads and bass in this one. The bridge at 0:50 is both soothing and powerful. I just wish these remixes sounded more accurate to the originals (8-channel MODs/XMs are your friend).
I listen to this and remind myself of how far I’ve come since I was born and how much I can still do... I don’t know if this is nostalgia anymore, it feels like something more...
Sounds really good. I honestly like Stardust Speedway Bad and Good US Futures better than the Japan versions, so this sounds really good. This honestly sounds like an 1980’s night track of some sort.
Wow, you gave it a vibe that fits the Japanese version, that "funky night" vibe, but using the US motif. This is the definition of a good take! Makes me like the US version for once.
I am going to write an entire manifesto to Sega demanding that they implement these into the US soundtrack on Origins. It's complementary, not insulting, to Nilsen's work, since his work was restricted by the hardcoded nature of the Past tracks, which I'm pretty sure are not PCM on the actual ports anymore.
You had big shoes to fill making a Past version of the best song in the US soundtrack, but you pulled it off…REALLY well 😂. Even with the way you made it hopeful. That’s not easy to do and this is good. Adding to the list!
It's a bit more present t and good future tho but I did notice that part from 0:50 to 1:00 it does sounds familiar to BF giving the fact that Eggman is sure destroying the zone
This is so good! It's so serene, and I love the call forwards to the future versions. I'd easily play a hack that had this in the game. The other past songs you did are quite good, too; I hope you'll do all of 'em! I'd be really excited to hear how you handle Quartz Quadrant especially, as that's probably my favorite zone. ^v^
Past: The Speedway is still barely full of Badniks, and the stars have a Stardust appearance, but the hedgehog must focus on beating Metal Sonic and going to the Metallic Madness Zone.
Just want to say something before I try to guess the instruments used: I’m guessing them PURELY for the fun of it, not to be annoying. It’s just something I wanted to do since I listened to the first US Past video. Ok, here goes nothing: Synth Bass 2 Marimba FX 4 (Atmosphere) FX 3 (Crystal) (1 echo) String Ensemble (1 echo) Drumset P.S. what program do you use to create these songs?
Oh, no, I don't get annoyed by your guessing. I kind of enjoy it, and I think it's cool that you're trying to figure that stuff out. This time, around, though, you're actually missing several instruments... Fretless bass Marimba Hard FM Electric Piano + Brightness FX Rhodes Electric Piano String Ensemble 1 Choir Pad/Space Voice Brightness FX (lead) New Age Pad Drums - Dance Kit As for what program, I use a combination of Anvil Studio and Winjammer Professional to make my MIDI files, and I use SynthFont and a variety of soundfont files for playback
@@km_studios hey, where did you get the string ensemble 1 and the drum kit from?, i'm making something like this and i kind of wan't to use those samples
Sonic runs through the grassy landscape of the past of Stardust Speedway, there are not many badniks here, sonic jumps up to the grassy solid platforms above him he searches for that machine which is making the future look bad, it’s always night out and sonic doesn’t rest for even a bit, he tries to jump to platforms and speeding around the area trying to find a way to find metal sonic, a church is in the area, sonic looks at the church after he destroyed the machine and realises that Robotnik destroyed the cathedral in the present and has nearly finished a statue of him that is complete in the future. Sonic knows to never give up even in the darkest times of little planet, he has courage to take the lead in the race over in the future and to defeat Robotnik once and for all….
Well, in the JP soundtrack, all of the time periods shared motifs. In the US soundtrack, they were mostly distinct songs, with the exceptions of Collision Chaos, Metallic Madness, and the intro of Palmtree Panic. So, when I made my US past concepts, I tried to tie the other time periods together by using motifs from all of the other time periods
5th best past concept. Every time the xylophone hits the major 7th, it puts itself at odds with the good future melody. Other than that, this fits the peaceful city at night.
Here we see stardust speedway in the past, egg man has not built his statue yet, it is entirely free now, you can run around all you like- but it won’t stay like this forever if you fail to stop robotnik, it is so close- the generator is in the past, you can do it- save stardust speedway!
I almost wanna see how these would sound on the sega cds sample chip. Since that's possible with furnace tracker out, would you be interested in a collab? I'd love to sample these splits!
Yes. Most of the US Present, Bad Future, and Good Future songs (aside from Collision Chaos and Metallic Madness) sounded like standalone songs, rather than variations of the same musical theme, like their JP counterparts; so I wanted to tie them together with my US Past concepts, using musical elements from all of the other time periods
Yeah, I know Bouncy Glow already did a US version of Stardust Speedway's Past, but I wanted to do my own take on it
I was about to say. 😄
Where can I get the Instruments for this?😊
@@djmasterbuilder323 ayy
I made a dead line zone present and its also Blaze theme. This sounds legendary bro I love it
You should put Bouncy Glow and yours side by side
after playing Sonic CD: Miracle, these past US remixes you've done are definitively a part of the soundtrack for me
Wow! This very well may be your best one yet! The song keeps the tempo of the present tune, but still incorporates motifs from both of the Future timelines.

are you metal sonic or not?
@@dr.reggman no
Sounds like an ending theme. One of those where you're riding towards a rising sun.
wario land 4?
@@faridavanessazerondoblado89 Yeah, something like that.
This is so atmospheric. And I shed a tear for how beautiful this is.
This honesty feels simply relaxing. Kinda like you're exploring a small city
This song is like the embodiment of being in a tall building of some kind at night, looking out and just seeing the city lights.
Present: Egg Statue being builded.
Bad Future: Egg Humpty big Statue.
Good Future: An giant fun castle.
Past: *an cathedral*
everyone does their own way, so you don't have to worry that someone got the idea first
also I loved the atmosphere there, amazing job
I must say a lot of your past songs are better than the actual past songs, and this is one of them!
you're a great composer man!
kind of suprising to hear that this vertion REALLY fits in with the stage!

Absolutely amazing. I never liked US Stardust Speedway that much, but this let me look at its composition in a different light!
Whaaaa? US stardust speedway is amazing especially good future!
I listen to this and remind myself of how far I’ve come since I was born and how much I can still do...
I don’t know if this is nostalgia anymore, it feels like something more...
Best tune to listen to on the way to the airport at 3AM
This remix is so beautiful. I play it every time I go to bed.
Sounds really good. I honestly like Stardust Speedway Bad and Good US Futures better than the Japan versions, so this sounds really good. This honestly sounds like an 1980’s night track of some sort.
Yeah, the US tracks are pretty good. I don't think they're better, but I think they still sound great.
Honestly, both the JP and US versions have there charm. The US versions are much better as Genesis remixes though, trust me
Facts
@@spicybreadproductions1972 Oh yeah. I can attest to that.
@@spicybreadproductions1972 Really?
One boldy word:
*PERFECTION*
if i could control my dreams this would be the music that would play in a good dream ngl
Someone try modding this over sonic mania’s stardust speedway act 1, I’m curious how well it goes.
you could mute the music in game and play this in the background
Wow, you gave it a vibe that fits the Japanese version, that "funky night" vibe, but using the US motif. This is the definition of a good take! Makes me like the US version for once.
0:00 Present

It's complementary, not insulting, to Nilsen's work, since his work was restricted by the hardcoded nature of the Past tracks, which I'm pretty sure are not PCM on the actual ports anymore.
The fact they changed Sonic 3’s soundtrack (for legit reasons) but didn’t touch CD bothers me a lot
God I love this
【ｓｐｅｅｄｗａｙ】
Man, i don't know if this or bouncy's is better! They're both fantastic!
bouncy doesnt even like his own
yeah i'm going to be listening to this over and over again for a longggggg time
I think that this was a really creative take on this theme!
You had big shoes to fill making a Past version of the best song in the US soundtrack, but you pulled it off…REALLY well 😂. Even with the way you made it hopeful. That’s not easy to do and this is good. Adding to the list!
I love it!! It fits perfectly. 😊☺It's really kinda soothing, man.

I LOVE THIS SONG OF A USA VERSION THIS IS SO HEAVENLY AND ANGELIC OF MELODY IT MAKES ME BURSTING WITH TEARS!!!
Tbh this sounds like you are walking through a small city on the way home or the music that would play on the radio during that time. Its relaxing
I like how it has segments from the good and bad futures to remind you why your here
If this was only official on the USA soundtrack
This is so good! It's so serene, and I love the call forwards to the future versions. I'd easily play a hack that had this in the game. The other past songs you did are quite good, too; I hope you'll do all of 'em! I'd be really excited to hear how you handle Quartz Quadrant especially, as that's probably my favorite zone. ^v^
I really like the good future vibe! keep up the great work man!
This is so Angelic And Peaceful 20/20
This song is so calma, so peaceful. I always use this song to study
This is so nice!!! No “Hue Hues” but still great!
The "Hue Hues" are only in the Japanese soundtrack, so of course they aren't in this mix
I know. It’s just a signature SS element. The US soundtrack is just a different direction.
@@cubedtothex i miss the "Hues" too :')
Compress this and you have a good past theme
Incorporating leitmotifs from each of the other time zones is pretty clever! Kinda represents the uncertain possibility of the future.
Amazing !
If only SEGA recruited you to compose these US Past themes to Sonic CD in Sonic Origins. Shm
It sounds so dreamy, I love it
Metallic Madness Good Future would fit perfectly with this song
i love how it sounds like the plantlife is breathing in the music
Great remix! I can only think of the Far Away Lands at the background with it.
I change my opinion. 8/10 keep making great songs
E Relic Ruins no passado americano??
How may i describe this with a single word?
Well this feels like its core feeling is something in the lines of: preserve
Now if only this gets a Mania Remix.
Bouncy did collision chaos now
Also I think I like this version better. It sounds way more peaceful.
Past: The Speedway is still barely full of Badniks, and the stars have a Stardust appearance, but the hedgehog must focus on beating Metal Sonic and going to the Metallic Madness Zone.
No, all the badniks are all active in the past
Oh man... that sounds awesome!
If fans could find Luigi inside Mario 64; they could find past us inside sonic CD; until that day, we have your wonderful concepts
i love this so much
The time when fireflies lit the road~
This really has the feel of a starry night in ancient times. But what happens to the water in the Present, Bad and Good Futures?

In Sonic Mania, it would be a:
Stardust Speedway Act 1 Past
As the Act 1 already resembles Past in the Present, its Past would go even deeper
Sounds like a sweet dream.
While Bouncy Glow has your Collision Chaos Past US track beat, this handily beats Bouncy Glow's Stardust Speedway Past US interpretation.
This is kinda relaxing ngl
Really relaxing

You should make a version without the xylophone-like instrument
