@maltese 84 That would've been bad. Fact of the matter is, NEC was a tech giant and every family had a Famicom. There wasn't any room for Sega, many Japanese kids didn't even know Sega had a console and knew them from the arcades (which were still booming in Japan)
I'm probably one of the few people who dosen't get tired of Green Hill and it's many iterations, as long as it results in another awesome remix, this one is no exception :D
The original might be one of the best game loop compositions ever. Somehow it never gets old or annoying. You're always happily anticipating the next section!
@@Louis-wp3fq I concur, nothing beats playing Sonic 1 on a model 1 Genesis with headphones and the volume cranked all the way up! Well, maybe except for Sonic 2 and it's soundtrack being a complete bop as well.
This is a ridiculously good rearrangement, I love all the wonderful details you added, super high-quality stuff! I feel like this would've fit better in Sonic Mania's Green Hill Zone than the arrangement that's in the game
This is absolutely stunning, and I'm going to have it on repeat all day today. It has bass and sharp details that you just don't hear in Genesis tunes. I wonder if a lot of composers back then weren't trying to account for the poor quality medium on which the music would be played (i.e. shitty TV speakers). Most of this song would be utterly inaudible coming out of a cheap 14" CRT hooked up via RF adapter.
Most likely limited by the sound effects taking channels.The same could be said with the C64, games didn't start to make amazing stuff on it until later in its life but often at the cost of removing all sound effects.
Holy crap that's beautiful! Using the same FM instrument for the ring jingle in there just adds a lovely layer of chemistry to the song! That bass is godly too! I wanna play Out Run to this music and go cruising! Super stuff!
they probably could've done it back in the day, but FM synthesis was pretty new back then and these days there's a lot better sound drivers for the megadrive. (and there's still new sound drivers being made every now and then.)
@@LondenTower it's really more down to mastering making FM patches as it's pretty difficult to get the sound you want out of it as a lot of it has to be thought of in advance (such as the algorithm you use) unless you want to be constantly tweaking things over and over
I'm always more and more impressed by the Megadrive / Genesis sound. I've spent so many hours to find what people are doing on this system. There is so much going on!
@@brorianszk Yeah but the third FM channel and it's harmonic dissonance can do some really interesting effects. I mean Savaged Regime's wave forms on that channel are just.. well... sexy :P.
@@DehnusNorder You mean, in this channel in particular? Or all channels have some unique behaviour? Maybe you'd like Tobikomi - $11 heaven Nothing in common with Savaged regime's style. This track is pure FM. No PSG, no PCM. Sexy waveforms :P This track was a YT suggestion and it was a good surprise for me!
I’m building a new home. With a dedicated playroom / game room. Full retro style with a pinch of Dearh Star inside. No kidding .... THIS will be the music playing when entering my mancave!!! Congratulations, this is an astounding arrangement that made me feel 10yo again..... 💎💎💎💥💥💥
Judging by the channel displays, it fits the limitations. Sound effects would cut some sounds tho, most likely the ring sounding part of the song would be cut out a lot. Fittingly, that would mostly be rings cutting it :3
Well, the original track is fantastic and one of the most iconic tunes of the 16-bit generation so I was really wondering how you would remix that! Aaand... you did great. On every fronts. At first I wasn't convinced about the short opening (I thought that it wasn't flashy or just not loud enough, unlike the original) but then I liked it. It's just that it's more subtle now and those little pseudo-bells are a delight. And your newly arranged lead notes as well as all the added details are pure bliss! Awesome work man 👍
I hate how the UA-cam notif system couldn't remind me of this 4 days ago. Oh well. Here to say that this is yet again another beautiful rearrangement of yours. This is so much more lively and energetic than the original, especially with the far better drums and use of FM echoing.
I intentionally put off watching this video for a month since it dropped on my sub box, because I like Savaged's works so far and was afraid his Green Hill Zone would turn out too different for my taste. I regret this decision now. This sounds very nice, clear, and even a bit more lively than the original!
I swear and I should have said this 2 days ago but, EVERY time i start re watching your videos it always seems like 20 minutes go by and you upload a new track. i swear your watching me :D
The crazy thing with this remix is that, you kept the clearness of the Genesis sound chip, but the samples and the overall complexity of the sound feels like it's straight from an SNES. Literally the best of both worlds.
Now that the MegaSD flash cart is out, that allows the playback of CD audio from within any game as long as it is patched to do so, it'd be awesome to hear your remastered soundtracks alongside these awesome games.
You don’t even need the megasd because you can string multiple pcm samples together using the regular genesis soundchip and you would get cd quality audio out of the genesis with no modifications ( though just using the megasd is a lot easier)
Love the improvisation on the bass and lead so much!!! haha The drums are also on-point too, and IMO way better than the original ones (seriously, I never liked Sonic 1 and 2's drum kit much at all, Sonic 3 has way better drums and percussion IMHO); the new crash cymbals are also nice :V
Listening to this cover made me realize how much of a Jpop feel the song has, while the original version had a more cool American theme on it. This one could fit on a PC98 visual novel This is somehow even better than the already great original
Sounds like the sort of thing the original composer (a J-Pop somgwriter and performer) would have done if he didn't have chip limitations, and had a full studio to himself.

Very nice! You made it sound more like the later Megadrive/Genesis game releases, where the composers had really mastered the sound chip.
Sound chips. The console had more than one.

@maltese 84 it's games suck compared to the famicom's
@@sllvksacgsakjc9357 Mario 3 even crushed Genesis in the States. It wasn't until Sonic came around that Sega got attention.

It sounds like it's from 1994 instead of '91.
Gotta go with the Tee Lopes version from Mania but is close second

Nah, Sonic was more jazzy in the 90s
This wouldn't fit. There's an instrument that sounds too much like the ring sound effect which would be confusing.
@@silkworm2595 That could've easily been replaced with another similar sound if this were actually in the game if that were a problem
@@silkworm2595 Spring Yard does that though
@@TechBlade9000 yeah like that
Tbh I didn't expect this in the slightest but I am pleased with this nice arrangement of a classic track. The echo in those hard pans give me life 😃
Would love to hear your take on Flying Battery Zone!
This is heavenly, man.. That bassline is delicious, but all the little flourishes and additions really make it.
GOTTA GO FAST!
(Can't believe this hasn't been said yet)
Great mix as always man. God bless.
Maybe because it's as overused as Green Hill itself?

this is the best version of GHZ I've ever heard. immaculate

Technically yes

There's always the mode 1 mod of sonic the hedgehog you could add it to. Works great with any wav or ogg vorbis track. Not sure if mp3 works too.

I like the way he plays with the melody sooo much going on!! Sounds like the funnest time ever!
Superb work! Intro sounded a bit weird but the rest was beautiful.
intro sounds a bit sanic, but it's a good arrange nonetheless.

Great cover! :3
I... I need a midi with these flourishes. I'mma break out the ol' Roland Sound Canvas, man!
This arrangement captures the appeal of Green hill that often doesn't end up in the essence of Sonic Team's many attempts to retread it.
Plus it's more faithful to nakamuras demo
This earned a sub 👍👌🎶
Would love to hear you do the Sonic 1 staff roll 😁🙏🏻
Gorgeous
Beautiful
wow. this is better than original. was this actually rearranged on the Genesis sound chip? it sounds CD quality. really good stuff here
Not that it could run in game. Sound effects would need to share channels.
@@silkworm2595 this could run in game, the genesis still has 2 open sound channels im pretty sure
i was wrong, only 1 open channel but thats still very possible to work with
Nobody answered, so... yes, this was arranged for the Genesis chips. Yes, it could run on your everyday console.
And it is CD quality audio.
Nicely Done~!😊
You really know to make that sound-chip sound both badass and heavenly. Seriously, you did a classic justice!
Stellar work as always, m8!
This isn't the soundfont. This is the actual sound chip
@@theshyguy1580 Ah, yeah, I realize that. I just poorly worded my comment by accident, sorry, about that. ^^;

This sounds great! So the Genesis sound chip can actually sound this good?
I am generally very conservative and do not look favorably to reinterpretations of classic songs but i have to admit that this is amazing.
So this is what the Sega sounds like when someone knows how to use the sound chip.
Nice remix of the song!😄🤩😎👌
the bass and lead :-O
Fantastic 😃
Overall, it sounds incredible. My only complaint are the noise channel cymbals. Putting them in with the PCM drum track would sound better IMHO.

Listening to this cover made me realize how much of a Jpop feel the song has, while the original version had a more cool American theme on it. This one could fit on a PC98 visual novel
This is somehow even better than the already great original
If different music for the second act was a thing on this game this is as legitimate as it gets
Sounds like the sort of thing the original composer (a J-Pop somgwriter and performer) would have done if he didn't have chip limitations, and had a full studio to himself.
