Definitely fits lava reef's place in the game as "the beginning of the final stretch". Also pretty cool to hear the act 2 melody "demixed" as an act 1 version
Yeah, it kinda does have that feeling once you get over the fact it also sounds like a pirate themed shmup haha Either way, I'm very happy with how this turned out. John never ceases to amaze me in his skill.
I didn't even realize Lava Reef didn't even get an alternate version yet! This sounds really good, love the 3/4 time signature for this, it makes it not only sound like a better track, but also like a pirate-themed zone.

@4ourevermore Big Arms is also known as the "Final Boss" theme. Big Arms/Final Boss is used for the Big Arms fight for Knuckles (and Sonic and Tails for S3AIR) and the Death Egg Robot in Death Egg Zone (better known as the Kyodai Eggman Robo). It is required for track completion. And what more is there to do other than Blue Spheres? John has all of the jingles done already.
what i really like about these alternate tracks is that they aren't done in the same style as the original s3&k ost. it feels like there's a wide variety of inspirations from all across the genesis' catalogue at play here. makes this feel more like a fresh take on s&k's ost instead of just "the same thing but different"
Groovy bassline, crunchy percussion, industrial beats, and a cinematic depth...You and Uhrwerk managed to make a certified banger that fits the level like a glove! Almost there, keep at it, you genius, you!
i heard the first 3 seconds and was IMMEDIATLY reminded of bon odori from rhythm heaven. the rhythm heaven brainrot is REAL folks. but HOLY SHIT THIS IS BANGING!!! keep up the good work, can't WAIT to hear more of this wonderful music from you! :D
y'arr jokes aside, absolutely PHENOMENAL work as always, and big props to you and Uhrwerk!! this is absolutely amazing and is probably one of my favorite S&K alt tracks lol
I'll be real A bass solo is probably to feed all the hungry humans who think act 3 of all sonic songs are just bass and percussion, in other words the best part But I'd say myself, it's as juicy as a T-Bone
What a video to stumble upon. Legit a banger that has me head bopping immediately. Love seeing the next generation of Sonic fans take on the excellent stylings and genres of the franchise. Great work!
Fittingly mechanical, mystical and fiery all at the same time… a brilliant track for LRZ1 all around, and ties better into LRZ2 than the original game’s LRZ1 track tied into its LRZ2 track!
In some moments, it reminds me of that Geometry Dash level's soundtrack (I forgot what was that level called), and it's cool. The only thing about that level that I remember is that it was either from GD Meltdown or GD Subzero
Like the Act 2 version from half-a-year ago, it has that section (0:28) that bears a definite resemblance to part of Dragon Valley 2 from Freedom Planet, likewise 28 seconds in. I don't if this is an inspired nod to Dragon Valley or completely unintentional and subconscious.

Leila Wilson has already made alternate music for _Sonic the Hedgehog 3,_ including the theme of Marble Garden Zone. John Tay is making ones for _Sonic & Knuckles._
0:14 Same chord progression as the original, yet you managed to make it feel fresh just by changing the time signature. 0.o 0:28 _Where_ is that melody from?? I would swear - without the slightest hesitation - that I’ve heard it before, but I just cannot put my finger on it. :-/

YARR, MATEY! Happy to have helped! Loved collaborating on this one, the pirate vibes are immaculate!
*insert Aquarium Park joke
Yall both killed it with LRZ! Still has the same tone but a different vibe. Love it!🤩
ye haw
Thank I'm not only who thinks this some pirate music
when there be undiscovered treasure in the lava reef 🏴☠️
I love how john tay and klockwerx looked at a zone which has absolutely nothing to do with pirates and said "yeah this is such a piratey zone"
Well, there is that one part in mania where you jump off the submarine, which is something to do with the sea... I guess? Lol
Lava _reef_ zone

I blast these alternate themes at work through a Bluetooth speaker, and I'm so glad another is added to the playlist. What a banger.
as you fucking should.
Honestly, what more can I say about th-
Goddamnit the pirate's jig.
Great work as always, John and Uhrwerk!
Love it!!! Got some huge Shovel Knight vibes from the repeat theme section - not in a bad way ofc ❤
Glad I wasn’t the only one lol. I definitely get those vibes
Literally Pridemoor Keep
Part of the melody is In the Halls of The Usurper.
I didn't even realize Lava Reef didn't even get an alternate version yet! This sounds really good, love the 3/4 time signature for this, it makes it not only sound like a better track, but also like a pirate-themed zone.
Lava Reef had an alt act 2 already. Act 1 was the missing one until now.
he's actually using triplets for this to make it sound piratey and sorta irish (is he?)
hearing this after act 2 really puts together how much the vibe would change in game from serious to mystically serious
AMAZING. YOU TWO DID SUCH A GOOD JOB. The dream team fr
Cheers! Means a lot
This might be my favorite of the alternative songs yet. I love how y'all pushed the pirate feel of the melody! It makes the whole song so damn fun.
Act 1 Versions complete, now all that is left is Mushroom Hill Act 2.
What a banging fantasy-like theme btw.

Two more tracks left till completion, those being MHZ2 and Big Arms. I wish you luck, John.
@4ourLore The final boss of S&K uses the same music as Big Arms, the song is just usually called Big Arms

Finally someone else understands too!!!!
But it's actually act 2
That somehow sounds the same
This is incredible. I’m getting a little bit of a shovel knight & alien soldier vines with the bass line because it’s so groovy!

It is from F-777, The Seven Seas

this goes in my music playlist now
ITS PIRATE TIME!!!
LETS GOO HAS COME!
Now next wait for the big arms replacement...
Hmmm, Lava Pirates.
1:53 why isn’t anyone talking about this ;~; it’s literally so good
I'll be real
A bass solo is probably to feed all the hungry humans who think act 3 of all sonic songs are just bass and percussion, in other words the best part

Funnily enough, we threw in a reference from one of the Geometry Dash artists in this. Check out Captain Morgan's Revenge by MDK.

@@johntayjinf if you think you did, that probably means I simply missed it. 😅
Hearing this song is like you're doomed to the Vulcano's Curse for entering it with no brief warning
Finally, Sonic can find the Act 1 Piece
This is amazing, great work! Btw you should try doing some Langrisser covers some time!
Excellent song alter.
God, this is great. Love me some songs in 6/8 format.

Nice Sega Genesis tune, and nice sneaking bits of Shovel Knight tunes in!😄🤩😎👌
THE SEVEN SEAS BY F-777?!?!?!
Starting the song sound like *_Diggy Diggy Hole_* from Black Rose
Man I sure love listening to Duck Game's OST from time to time
omfg so good!
you can see sonic's fucking rings lmao

an excellent track!
