Tee Lopes has a seemingly unique ability to capture the “spirit” or intention of the original song. Many remixes loose the feeling of the original song.
i don't know why, but i thought the same thing. the first thing that this ost made me think was about choices, a place with a lounge and many things to choose. :D
I come back to this after a while of not listening to it and I get reminded of why I love Tee Lopes, and why his excellent score on Sonic Mania, and his big backlog of fantastic remixes really brought me to try music for myself. I never, ever, thought I would get anywhere in life, or find a hobby I feel confident or happy with, but here I am trying to learn and pursue music all because one man made an inspiring and fantastic set of music that never disappoints. Thanks Tee, your music, whether it may be remixes or original compositions, really means a lot to me. I absolutely hope to see you do more in the future because the backlog you have right now (TMNT Shredders Revenge, Sonic Mania, Major Magnet) is super strong and absolutely superb.
I really do like the remaster. The tempo & instruments used here really do bring life to this old tune. Actually, I dare say Starlight Zone is underrated.
Mr. Lopez! WOW!! You are a musician of the HIGHEST caliber! You put me to shame! I'm a musician as well but YOU are on a WHOLE different level from me! I hope I can learn from you someday! I can tell you put your heart and soul into the pieces you make! You are AWESOME!! I hope when I meet you I can get an autograph!
I'm imagining a reimagined Starlight Zone in a future Sonic Mania game, but with this music in a sky-chase like act over a nighttime city scene with twinkling city lights down below and fireworks in the sky all around Sonic and Tails as they fly through the air over the town. Maybe have them avoiding fireworks which explode with eggman face-shaped booms and stuff.
@RoundPinkKirby lol its true, I don't play any instruments, nor do I know any musical theory (couldn't afford the classes). I've been composing since 2000 with music 2000 for psx, that's why I'm so used to the piano roll without MIDI instruments. It doesn't take me as long as you'd imagine (3 to 5 hours per song). Flash studio is very easy once you understand the concept... I'm still discovering new functions! Also I'm involved in sonic 2 hd. I'll be remaking the games tracks, so stay tuned!
Wow! It's surprising that you didn't play any instruments or know any musical theory around this time, but still made such incredible covers. I thought you had a ton of musical experience by this time, but I guess I was wrong :).
This is the sound of the 90s condensed into an essence that encompasses everything about the 90s, games, movies, culture, and music, and serves it to you on an orchestral platter with no warning, hitting you with a wave of nostalgia and bittersweet mental images of a past we can never return to... Not very many songs can claim to have brought me to tears, but this one did it well... and I wasn't even around in the 90s
Ok, so... I'm writing this before I listen to the music, and when the song is over I'll write here what I think. Before: Let's do this After: I- think I'm gonna cry, this is incredibly beautiful...
With this song playing, i imagine what if Eggman made StarLight Zone a place for good things, or mainly a shopping mall of sorts xD But yes it sounds a lot like Wii Sports hehe
Now I'm 40 and I'm sick :( time flies way too fast.... I would like to return to my 12 years old. Unpack my game on a Saturday morning while my mother is preparing breakfast. Playing Sonic and NHL hockey with my brother ...
Quite a masterpiece. To me, this sounds as if I were to take my girlfriend (IF I HAD ONE) to the top of a hill on a Christmas Eve night, whilst we overlook the breathtaking view of our beautiful lit up city.
Are you telling me that you saw a comment on a video from 2015 (video from 2010), in 2017, and decided to correct a grammar mistake? You're desperate aren't you.
Rarely have I ever considered a remix/remake to be better than an original VG soundtrack, especially so with a few tracks (starlight zone being one of them). . . .yet after hearing this I could only think to myself, "My god...this is AMAZING!" You've done the impossible, taken in a piece of musical art and perfected it into an absolute masterpiece. I don't know how you did it but thank you, truly and sincerely thank you.
Absolutely stunning! I love the fact that you incorporated bells and a sax solo to really make this song stand out. Hope you have a soundcloud because this is going on my playlist. :D
Damn this is beautiful! Definitely the best remix I've ever heard of this theme. I absolutely love it ^^ It's very hard to live up to one of the best Sonic themes of all time but this really nails it I think. I love the Jazzy elements too!
I honestly started laughing out loud when I realized how fucking good this is. There are very few times when I'm breathless at somebody's talent but everything you do is amazing. Please don't stop remaking this classics in your image. (Specifically sonic please I'm abit of a fan)
What I love the most here is that with the arrangements of this Sonic music you've made is that it all sounds so much like Dreams Come True. It would make sense that his Sonic music would sound like the music from his J-Pop career but I never realized how similar it is.
Caramba, se eu tivesse um comercio (restaurante ou mercadinho) essa musica ia tocar o dia todo.. essa musica é muito "praça de alimentação, shopping a céu aberto ou lobby de hotel" ... ela me faz querer comer e comprar coisas ! Kkkkkk
This is amazing. You really made this as if it came out of a modern day Sonic game. I absolutely love your work (especially Ruby Illusions (Final Boss, for the ones who don't know the song by title) from Sonic Mania)... Can't wait for the next game with your music in it! Keep up the good work!
Me: *Enter the elevator and notices the music playing starts dancing* Elevator: *1st Floor* Me: *Keeps dancing* *Some dude enters the elevator and starts dancing* Me: Nice music huh? Dude: Obviously it's Tee Lopes afterall Me: True
This is amazing! Pure nostalgia, no wonder why you were chosen to compose the music of Mania, this is Awesome!! P.S. This also sound like a music track you'd hear in like a shop in a Pokémon game, which is also awesome.
Sorta sounds like a Good Future variant of Starlight Zone
More like a perfect future if you ask me
If think it would suit a Star Light Zone in Mania 2. If that level isn't in a Mania 2 I will cry
Melton the Gamer you cried
aguycalledadz are you from the future?
*Y E S*

True.
True
Sounds so amazing. Sonic Mania's soundtrack is definitely in good hands.
Alex Man he did sonic mania?
yeah he made entire soundtrack for the game
He's one of the best things to happen to Sega for ages
@@slicegames6177 Except for the opening animation theme, that was done by Hyper Potions. 2 amazing artists combined.
@@slicegames6177 except for Hyper potion's, Friends
Tee Lopes, the composer we didn't deserve in the slightest, but definitely the one we wanted.
This guy is the only composer I trust with Sonic.
not even crush 40?
not even tomoyo ohtani?? or even jun senou???
nah dude, you don't know shit about sonic music, jun senoue and tomoya ohtani are also amazing composers.
I trust him with Sonic alongside Jun Senoue but still I'd by far trust him with the music the most.
@@xenithiidx819 Jun Senoue did the music for Sonic 4.... enough said
If I had a Store/Resturant I'd be playing these tunes.
i don't know why, but i thought the same thing. the first thing that this ost made me think was about choices, a place with a lounge and many things to choose. :D
Why do I want eat music at a restaurant?
Isn't this music so good you just want to eat it? I think so
Restaurant*
Well It Wouldn’t Be Very Good For *MARIO* Fans
This is just pure bliss. I feel like I am really there.
This just shouts CHRISTMAS!!!
You know who else does??
OOOOOOOOH BOOOOOOY
ih krimah
mokey: KRISMAAAAAAA
@@derpythehedgeone AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Eggman flying over like Santa Claus,except what he drops is the exact opposite of what santa gives.

Hi
Such a beautiful song. Brings me a lot of peace.
That pitch increase near the end really makes this sound like a credits theme. I love it!
thats called a key change, and yeah its not uncommon to be used in ending songs
Ah, good to know. Thanks for telling.
I really do like the remaster. The tempo & instruments used here really do bring life to this old tune.
Actually, I dare say Starlight Zone is underrated.
its my personal favorite classic zone
Nah Marble underrated imo
marble is kinda underated but it's a little too slow that's why people don't like it alot@@SerperiorChaos
That was the nicest fake sax solo I've heard in a minute! Love it.
LOL
Wait until you hear the mania one
Mr. Lopez! WOW!! You are a musician of the HIGHEST caliber! You put me to shame! I'm a musician as well but YOU are on a WHOLE different level from me! I hope I can learn from you someday! I can tell you put your heart and soul into the pieces you make! You are AWESOME!! I hope when I meet you I can get an autograph!
Woah my heart is vibrating with enthousiasm and joy. I cannot not smile while listening to this !

It's crazy to see this message 10 years later after having played Sonic Mania and just being moved to tears on all your work on that game, Tee Lopes
???
@@devilcraft4281he still doesn't XD
So... if Starlight Zone made it into Sonic Mania... this is what it would’ve sounded like? Awesome!!!
This is the sound of the 90s condensed into an essence that encompasses everything about the 90s, games, movies, culture, and music, and serves it to you on an orchestral platter with no warning, hitting you with a wave of nostalgia and bittersweet mental images of a past we can never return to...
Not very many songs can claim to have brought me to tears, but this one did it well... and I wasn't even around in the 90s
MY HEART FEELS LIKE IT IS MELTING IN HAPPINES
First I opened my heart and now it's turning to mush
Same
Ok, so... I'm writing this before I listen to the music, and when the song is over I'll write here what I think.
Before: Let's do this
After: I- think I'm gonna cry, this is incredibly beautiful...
Wii Sports Edition. That is the vibe I get from this
Probably the background elements.
Hatsune Davis More like Wii Sports Resort
Yah
well I don't play Wii Sports and I don't even know how it is so I can perfectly forget about that "vibe" you're talking about.
With this song playing, i imagine what if Eggman made StarLight Zone a place for good things, or mainly a shopping mall of sorts xD
But yes it sounds a lot like Wii Sports hehe
Starlight Zone Good Future
Ha I got that reference!!!
Why hello, Sir JonathanTronathan.
Kiernan Howell-MacKinley 慼｜
+ChileanKoopa haha good Sonic CD reference
No starlight zone Greater future
HWHAT? A saxophone solo too? PERFECTION
If I heard this in an elevator, I would not want to get out
God dammit... this song is my childhood. Hope it's ok to have a tear in my eye...
it is. I had them feels too
I can't blame you bro.
THE NOSTALGIA!!
Star Light Zone is my favorite area in Sonic 1, and this remaster makes me so happy. 💛
the trumpets and the sax solo WOW JUST WOW
My favorite Sonic 1 zone and music
I'm Brazilian thanks for the tribute on green hill act 2 on sonic mania
Now I'm 40 and I'm sick :(
time flies way too fast....
I would like to return to my 12 years old. Unpack my game on a Saturday morning while my mother is preparing breakfast. Playing Sonic and NHL hockey with my brother ...
The best Starlight Zone remix EVER!!
Belíssimo!!!!
my entire childhood, reimagined. brilliant. never stop
Quite a masterpiece. To me, this sounds as if I were to take my girlfriend (IF I HAD ONE) to the top of a hill on a Christmas Eve night, whilst we overlook the breathtaking view of our beautiful lit up city.
+Markurrito
That sounds like the perfect image to do with this song
Then she gives you a hand job, right?
Markurrito Oh yush! I may just take that as an advice and take my girlfriend on a date like that someday ^-^
+Markurrito same as me. but my girlfriend left me. so ill go up there with a fucking huge joint instead. result.
+SomeGuy No, he made it better
Sounds like a Wii Sports menu. And that's a good thing!
tman008 It probably is as a easter egg. JK
Are you telling me that you saw a comment on a video from 2015 (video from 2010), in 2017, and decided to correct a grammar mistake? You're desperate aren't you.
*a
whoops thought you were replying to another comment
Ayy
I love the music you make, Tee Lopes. It gives a good inspiration for writing.
That jazz! is amazing! 1:46
0:39 Anyone else getting Rocky vibes from those trumpets?
Yes,a lot
Tee thanks for making my childhood into the best thing ever.
A perfect song for the holidays
That key change near the end sent me to the stars... 🥹
Fantastic!! I would really like to download all your music from the Sonicgames so I could put them on my phone.
ya
This comment is ancient.
@@wackyworkbench I'm guessing you came here from SomeCallMeJohny. No reason, just guessing
I love how this just emphasizes every note change.
The 2021 tokyo olympics where great
This is my favorite song ever! I love it! It takes me back when my son was very young and we played together.
This actually makes me feel happy. Thank for this song tee lopes!

0:19, that phrase right there. He added a whole 'nother feel to that cord.
Lets be happy about how beautiful this is
Excelente, maravilhoso.. parabéns!
What a way to start my day early in the morning. This tune is putting me back to sleep..
Absolutely stunning! I love the fact that you incorporated bells and a sax solo to really make this song stand out. Hope you have a soundcloud because this is going on my playlist. :D
Oh man. Marble Zone would be brilliant. My all-time favourite track!
You win a new caaaaarr
Beautiful
Damn reminds of of the time me and my girlfriend walked around downtown during December where the lights are absolutely amazing
BEAUTIFUL
You're a beast man! Delicious arrangement of one of my favorite sonic tunes.
I guess We can't thank You enough for such great music.Well done ^^
Sounds like the music for like one of the Ski games in Wii Sports Resort, man I miss the Wii
Ouvindo em looping eterno aqui! Que trabalho brilhante!
It's incredible that this masterpiece got released 8 years ago, and it's still beautiful!
Fantastic!
Just drove around town listening to this, was kinda magical 🪄
Such a chill vibe to it... Great job
I could see this in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic games
Absolutely beautiful :')
I could listen to this forever and still not get bored
Here cos of Sonic Mania. I love this the original version of the Starlight Zone music, and this arrangement does it justice nicely I think. Great job!
For years, I've looking for the perfect arragement/remix of Star light zone....and finally, I found it...
I should play this music on Christmas. Fits so well.
I could have this rather nice theme for my birthday, and then, my wedding, and it would be a Christmas wedding❤💖🇬🇧🇭🇲🇨🇦🇺🇸🇲🇫🇪🇦🎆✨🎇🎇✨🎆🎇✨🎆🎇✨🎆🎇🎇✨✨✨✨🎇🎇✨🎆🎆
sonic but it's a literature light novel.
actually amazing and happy
I love this song
Damn this is beautiful! Definitely the best remix I've ever heard of this theme. I absolutely love it ^^ It's very hard to live up to one of the best Sonic themes of all time but this really nails it I think. I love the Jazzy elements too!
So Funky i'm lovin it totally gonna blast this on the 4th of July x3
god its been forever since i listen to this
I should listen to this like FOREVER! Very nice work, man
beautiful
This song is 10 years old today.... Wow time flies
Great music
Perfect. I'd LOVE a sky sanctuary re-imagined
Wooo, this sounds really nice!!! Great Job!!! Thank you a lot!!

Bloody hell, this is a very impressive arrangement!
If we ever get a starlight zone themed hub world, I want this song to play in it
This captures so much of the music and the era. You really are a master and deserve so many more views!!
so many wii sports vibes lol
Mr Nakamura will be happy hearing this. :)
Caramba, se eu tivesse um comercio (restaurante ou mercadinho) essa musica ia tocar o dia todo.. essa musica é muito "praça de alimentação, shopping a céu aberto ou lobby de hotel" ... ela me faz querer comer e comprar coisas ! Kkkkkk
This still slaps in 2020 bro, great job
they need to remaster the classic sonic games cuz the sound track is basically done
Really enjoying the tone of this re-imagined version
This is great. Like really great.
This is amazing. You really made this as if it came out of a modern day Sonic game. I absolutely love your work (especially Ruby Illusions (Final Boss, for the ones who don't know the song by title) from Sonic Mania)... Can't wait for the next game with your music in it! Keep up the good work!
This guy is a genius. He could be the next Koji Kondo, or Yuka Tsujiyoko.
This is why Studiopolis is so good.
True
Let's not get ahead of ourselves, now.
Me: *Enter the elevator and notices the music playing starts dancing*
Elevator: *1st Floor*
Me: *Keeps dancing*
*Some dude enters the elevator and starts dancing*
Me: Nice music huh?
Dude: Obviously it's Tee Lopes afterall
Me: True
I wish Tee's music would be in a elevator's. I get good vibes.
This is amazing! Pure nostalgia, no wonder why you were chosen to compose the music of Mania, this is Awesome!!
P.S. This also sound like a music track you'd hear in like a shop in a Pokémon game, which is also awesome.
