Sonic Adventure has one of my favorite OSTs ever. It was a transitional period for the series where the character designs and series sound were shifting, so its got a blend of OG style Sonic music and the musical direction that the series would stick with through 2006. This particular track only plays in like that 25% of the stage, its wild.
Another track from SA1 that gets absolutely no recognition is Be Cool, Be Wild, Be Groovy One of the sickest tracks I've ever heard in a video game Here's hoping you do that one someday, it's so sick
Sonic has great upbeat music but the experimental stuff and not regular "poppy" music is where it really shines. Can't wait for more adventure music on here!
Takes place on an active volcano. The inside tunnels gradually fill up with lava as you traverse. There are some funky prisons there. There are pipes and steam machinery, also steam geysers erupting. On the sides of the mountain you use ziplines and short-flight vertical rockets to move between peaks and up them. Many mobs here have spikes and metal armor. Its very much an aggressive level aesthetically, although it does not necessarily provide any super aggressive or cruel mechanics. A sort of "edge of the blade" feel.
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO THINKS THE BEGINNING SOUNDS LIKE A CYPRESS HILL SONG. I knew you couldn't steer me wrong Jesse, lol. Sonic Adventure has an extremely diverse soundtrack, so I can't wait for you to hear more from it specifically. SA1 has some big stages that are often segmented into multiple areas with different tracks for each. Red Mountain is the stage, but this song plays for the second and last part of the level, when you go down inside the mountain and enter this fiery, magma filled area. The first song for Red Mountain sounds COMPLETELY different to this, other than a slight leitmotif between themes. It just so happens that almost all the videos I send you don't have composer credit in the description, but this game had three main composers: Jun Senoue, Fumie Kumatani, and Kenichi Tokoi. The first theme for Red Mountain is composed by Kenichi Tokoi, but this track was composed by Jun Senoue, who's been working on Sonic music since Sonic 3 and is one of the two members of Crush 40.
theres a video with all the adventure 1&2 samples, lot's of old hip-hop & rap, except for originals like E.G.G.M.A.N. that was sung by Shortino from Quiet Riot
I don't think Sonic Adventure has a single miss in its entire OST. Like I could rapid fire off like 40 tracks worth listening too, and those are just the ones I remember the name of. Here for the sonic and pokemon, keep it up
The first 8 seconds make me think a lot about "Insane in the brain", "How i could just kill a man" and "Break'em off some" of Cypress hill. This is typically the style of early Cypress Hill
3:17 It was Jun Senoue who was the lead composer for the series from the late 90s all the way up until the mid 2000s, and he still makes music for the series to this day He's also the guitarist in Crush 40, a band mostly known for making Sonic Music (I'm sure you've reacted to some of their songs by now, they made Live & Learn) This game specifically came out way back in 1998, and it's got such a 90s vibe to it, definitely one of my favorite sonic games, especially in terms of it's soundtrack
Red Mountain is the name of the stage, and it is, in fact, a volcano! This song plays when you go inside Red Mountain in the second half of the stage, where there's also some skulls and other spookiness - So, spot-on.
You will love mechanical resonance for sure, I would just sit around all day looking at Mecha and metal sonic while jamming to it. Probably my favorite theme song in sonic adventure.
this section of the level always scared me as a kid. especially the ghost prisoners behind bars. and oddly the shaking tombstones in the area. combined with this heavy track.
This was always a song and stage that kind of creeped me out when I was very little, but then ended up becoming a regular in my day-to-day listening later in life. Some music can be appreciated when you're little (obvious ones like Open Your Heart, Live and Learn, What I'm Made Of, etc.), but some songs really need a bit of life experience to enhance the flavor of it.
There are plenty of fantastic tracks from sonic adventure, adventure 2 and sonic heroes(and shadow the hedgehog). All these games came out around the year 2000 so there is tons of that 90s rock feel left in it before it started picking up the more orchestral stuff in the 2010's. Which is still great.
Sonic Adventure 1, 1998, was resident Sega rock composer Jun Senoue's first gig as lead composer/lead guitarist and it REALLY shows. It has that feel of the nervous excitement and giddiness of someone who was given his first chance to commercialize his own art project entirely and it's basically his love letter to all the music that ever excited him, just in case he never got the chance to do it again. He pulled out all the stops to do as many genres as possible and fill them with as many riffs, counterpoints, leads, instruments, etc as humanly possible. He didn't even care about always matching the speed or feel of the level, just doing something new at every turn. That's why it's my favorite Sonic soundtrack, because it has that personality, and the most diversity and best instrumentals in the series. I don't think he ever matched up to this one again but all his soundtracks up to Shadow the Hedgehog still were carried well, I mean even Shadow had him experimenting with some new stuff like detuned guitars, effected leads, even a purposely more lo fidelity sound to make it grittier. At 14 this was my favorite game soundtrack. Seminal in my start to music which is when I first started drum lessons
as a kid love the song and game, as an adult musician who also gets really involved in the production aspect, dude this track is crazy. Such an insane concept of a song
During the Adventure Era, most of the music was done by Jun Senoue but with additional music being done by Fumie Kumatani, Kenichi Tokoi, and Masaru Setsumaru. But for this track it's Jun.
I could come down with alzheimers one day and this OST would STILL remind me of specific moments in my early childhood sitting in front of the ol' CRT TV
Also, by the way: Most newer Sonic games have official uploads of their music, which were auto-uploaded, based on soundtrack uploads on a different platform. They are usually on one of UA-cam's "Topic channels" simply called "Topic: SEGA" or "Topic:
These tracks are really special man, You can never know what to expect and this one has an insane vibe between the aggression and complete disregard of musical convention at times. Would love to here a lot more of these heavier tracks from both sonic adventure games
There's another theme (the main one) for this stage called "Mt. Red - Symbol of Thrill...for Red Mountain" which is a very different style, and I hope someone requests it at some point, because it's most people's favourite of the two. Though of course both tracks try to do different things! =D
This track went SOOOOOOOOO HARDD YO. I remember I had to just take my hand off the controller like nahhh they didn't do this man. Sonic always been nasty with the music. Fantastic listen man. Glad to see you had a good to time with it!
Jun Senoue was the composer from the Late 90sbTo Mid 2000s(Specifically in the 2006 year was the last time he really made music for Sonic Games…and yes the last game he did was Sonic 06….so that’s a good ending way to finish off of being a Composer for one of Segas biggest Video Game IPs for 8-9 years straight
The "Ahh!" voice in this song always reminds me of an impression of Elmo you heard in an edgy parody recording you downloaded off Napster in the late 90s. Very specific, I know.
I found the screams in this soundtrack funny and disturbing when i was a kid lolz. xD I do love the bass and guitar in certain parts of the music though. :)
You'll love the rest of the Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 ost when you get to it. It's all very 90s and a blend of different styles. Even quite a bit of rap!
6:21 I don't think the quality sounding lower was 100% intentional. I'm pretty sure part of the reason is that this video is from DeoxysPrime. His videos typically are lower quality and sometimes sound muffled as well.
@@GameMaster0097 that's fair, they're quite old. I figured this was passable though considering the song, so I submitted this link I could have done a blackblur upload for true crunch lolol
If you gotta react to another sonic track... Please react to "His World" by Zebrahead, it's legit one of my, and many people's, favorite Sonic track. And if you can manage, you can also react to the Crush40 version which is really good too.
Black Knight has a lot more than just Knight of the Wind. Misty Lake, Deep Woods, Titanic Plains, Molten Mine, Sir Percival, Great Megalith, Dragon's Lair, The Battle Menu, Fight The Knight, Through The Fire, With Me, Live Life, and more. All So Good
This is pretty much one of the worst stage tracks in Adventure. It being this good basically shows just how damn good the soundtracks of the Adventure games are.
![This Producer REACTS To Unknown From M.E. - Sonic Adventure [OST]](/img/n.gif)
this man has still not heard Open Your Heart or Live and Learn
they're in the list so EVENTUALLY
none of the sonic adventure 2 songs stand out ot me, but 1 and heroes were amazing as kid anyway
@@nathanperquin9910 biggest L ever
Yeah huge L, SA2 is by far the best 3D Sonic OST IMO. (Personally still prefer Sonic 2, 3 & Knuckles and Mania though)
Boooo
If for some reason I'm ever inside a volcano and it doesn't sound like this, I'll be very disappointed

Here's hoping you do that one someday, it's so sick
Ah, yes. The "outrun the avalanche on a snowboard" segment.
Oh man, the hours I would spend going to the sound test menu and just blasting this music for my whole family to hear. Good times. I adore sonic music
Same, dude
I did the same thing!
Sonic has great upbeat music but the experimental stuff and not regular "poppy" music is where it really shines. Can't wait for more adventure music on here!
Wait for the Jet Set Radio community... Everything single song in that game is a banger
And Sonic Rush being composed by the same composer
Rush and Rush Adventure gang

Lava and prisoners.
Goes to show just how well the music fits!
basically hell in sonic

@@evdestroy5304 nahhhhhh
Chao garden

First stage of Sonic 3, Angel Island, is where the forest burns down.
The first 8 seconds make me think a lot about "Insane in the brain", "How i could just kill a man" and "Break'em off some" of Cypress hill. This is typically the style of early Cypress Hill
These reactions have become a source of instant happiness for me. It's always nice hearing you give your takes on what the world of VGM has to offer.

there are indeed skulls and there is lava and volcanos :)

Damn I replayed Adventure recently and have been wondering what Jesse’s reaction would be to this song and bam here it is
I had a similar experience and so I ended up requesting it xD
It occured to me I've never given this song a Serious Listen until now. Because hot damn.

this uses some sampling from Super Cats Ghetto red hot (the hip hop remix at least), which is pretty obvious when you hear it
Was hoping someone would mention this.
How did I never know there was an extended version of this track? It sounds awesome. I only know the beginning part from playing the game.
This song pushed the dreamcast sound chip to its limit.
erm the dreamcast doesn't have a soundchip
I found the screams in this soundtrack funny and disturbing when i was a kid lolz. xD I do love the bass and guitar in certain parts of the music though. :)
how did i never heard this song??
RESPECT!!!! THANK YOU SIR FOR THE BREAKDOWN! THIS SHIT IS MY CHILDHOOD! >:D
Damn you spot it hard, yes is a volcano with red skull over the place
No cap, this part of the stage feels like running through Hell
interesting, never heard this song before, and I've listened to most sonic songs, no idea how I missed this.
Love the Sonic reacts
Would u ever do streams where u react to Whole soundtracks?
Great look back at the really stand out tunes in games. Thanks for the reaction!
For context: this is a level theme for inside a volcano
MORE SONIC WOOOOOOO
Volcano Valley zone, and then Final Fortress zone.
You'll love the rest of the Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 ost when you get to it. It's all very 90s and a blend of different styles. Even quite a bit of rap!

Red Hot Skull is a straight 🔥 masterpiece
It might just be me but it sounds abit like Doom Metal in some ways, couldn't explain how though
hit em up
I have a request (again), you should listen to Planet Wisp Act 1 from Sonic Colors! (Not the Ultimate remix)
Classic Toad dying sample
Do "it doesn't matter" from sonic adventure....the first one
Underground prison with lava rivers.
I want to add lyrics to that song because it’s my cool and favorite songs
I remember in the Game Grump playthrough for some reason Arin compared it to kriss kross
not a bad comparison
this track is good but the track before this (symbol of thrill red mountain) is so much better imo
You gotta do tons more sonic music 🔥
Know? After listening to the song, you should take a look at the phase it belongs to to see if your suspicions are correct.
Speaking of Linkin Park have you ever heard the "80s remix" of "Numb"?
BANGER
If you gotta react to another sonic track... Please react to "His World" by Zebrahead, it's legit one of my, and many people's, favorite Sonic track.
And if you can manage, you can also react to the Crush40 version which is really good too.
Man, this song sounds like someone put Butthole Surfers in charge of a Persona soundtrack
There's a band name I haven't heard in years 🏄♂️
Even objectively trash sonic games like black knight has something like knight of the wind
Black Knight has a lot more than just Knight of the Wind. Misty Lake, Deep Woods, Titanic Plains, Molten Mine, Sir Percival, Great Megalith, Dragon's Lair, The Battle Menu, Fight The Knight, Through The Fire, With Me, Live Life, and more. All So Good
Honestly yeah, agree with Brendan
The whole OST is super underrated.
Sonic black knight might be one of the stronger sonic osts
This is pretty much one of the worst stage tracks in Adventure. It being this good basically shows just how damn good the soundtracks of the Adventure games are.

Worst stage tracks? This is superb wdym
