If I owned a hotel this would be the elevator music

[jtsmusic]

This sounds like a mixture of salsa and bossa Nova.

One thing that I love about the Past mixes that no one talks about is how ambiguous they sound - kind of like giving you an open prognosis of the future. They're both peaceful yet unnerving, melancholic yet cautially optimistic. Coming back to this after getting the bad future makes you wonder about what could've been.

Glad to see the Sonic CD OST being introduced to more people, even if it's just one song.

[gravity]

I get a prehistoric-time vibe from this honestly.

[CynicalTast]

I absolutely love the past mixes- using the soundchip for them was a brilliant move and is honestly one of the coolest little musical details I’ve seen in a game. And this track is great too- It’s real mysterious and jurassic, which is exactly what you’d want for what is gonna be most player’s first trip to the past. All in all just real solid.

present: the children are happy
good future: the children grew up and had more children
bad future: the children have been genetically modified
past: the children don't exist yet

[Enriquito]

This song will never just fail to make me want to dance, it’s just so groovy and it fits as good background music for anything

[waddleds]

No joke, this is one of the best tunes I've ever heard in my entire life

[CopyTheCompcom]

Honestly, I think the past themes using the sound chip was a smart idea, due to it be8ng, ya know, the past themes.

Machine Girl Fans Hearing This: OMG UZUMAKI???? 🥶🥶🥶😱😱😱

Sonic Fans Hearing Uzumaki: PALMTREE PANIC????

[meleeludens]

this makes me picture a world that’s peaceful, and is aware that peace isn’t necessarily permanent, but simply doesn’t care, entirely content to enjoy itself in the moment

[pytha]

I think it was a really creative idea to use the Sega CD's PCM sequencer for these Past tracks, to make them sound more like traditional VGM at the time. Very peaceful theme, kind of carrying a similar vibe to the tropical one found in the Good Future track in the US OST, but it's executed much better here, and fits a whole lot more due to the prehistoric aesthetics.

[alixvox]

This sounds like the beginning of a Better Call Saul montage where they’re like cleaning up bodies in a supermarket or someone’s just scheming around.

[TheOofaloofa]

The first level and it already gives you something to vibe to. I swear this will be a lo-fi remix

[leslieadams]

In the past, Palmtree Panic has a more prehistoric coast, with small, purple mountains, a turquoise sky, and fields covered in a lighter shade of grass than in the present. The soil retains the present version's triangular pattern, although it is now peach and brown-colored. Some palm trees have a light bulb-like feature on the top. The star-shaped plants are replaced with vine-like plants sprouting from the ground. Also, the tree trunks from the present now feature some small branches with leaves on them.

Hearing this song while drawing made me remember when I was in an hotel, drawing, it made me make feel a bit cozy inside

[xaviernieves]

One word to describe this game is underrated. If it wasn't for the 2011 port, this game may have been forgotten.

WE BE MAKIN’ A GOOD FUTURE WITH THIS ONE 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
SO FIRE IT BURNED THE PALMTREES DOWN 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

[Spiderbss]

When I was younger, this music actually made me feel lonely, but I felt like that was fitting as in the past there ain't much
