Sonic CD - Palmtree Panic 'P Mix' (US) [Concept]

What if the US version of Sonic CD had gotten its own Past music? Maybe Palmtree Panic would have sounded like this

I had some doubts with this remix along the way, but it turned out REALLY nice!

P: The palm trees haven't grown to their full size yet and as such Robotnik is in no big hurry to cut then down. The area isn't very panicked either as such so all Sonic has to worry about here is the projectors and the light amount of Badniks roaming around. Time to enjoy some fresh tropical air hedgehog dude.

If this was only official on Sonic CD USA…

Then we just wouldn’t have the same past themes for both soundtracks.

[Korventor]

It makes me feel that mixture of sadness and nostalgia, It transmits a beautiful melancholy, as if it were the soundtrack of a sad but emotional flashback.
i know thats not the point of this track, but i cant stop imagine that.

[shandecoronelangulo]

i'm the only who thinks this sounds sad? but in a good way. it can perfectly fit in a good memories compilation

[YophiSmith]

This is so consistent with the Present and Future tracks. It gives the ambiance of the American soundtrack, uses the melody of the present, sticks in the Good Future slightly as a hint to what is coming if you save the Past, and gives that overall happiness vibe that happens when things aren’t as complicated. Good job.

This is somehow way more relaxing and calming than JP's "P" mixes

[psyanah]

Oh my god I adore this. What a beautiful complement to the underrated and amazing US soundtrack!

[wolfbaron]

Sounds like you took inspiration from the fact that the developers exclusively used the Sega CD PCM chip for the past soundtracks. Excellent work.

[Epsilonsama]

Great take. Some people forget is that the Sega CD PCM hardware had access to higher quality samples than the SNES could produce which while still having less quality than Red Book Audio could produce really good audio. Heck I noticed that the prototype version of the Past music which was redbook audio sound really similar to it's PCM final counterpart just slowed down meaning that the Past version was probably a demo track which are sometimes slower in order to later speed them up.

Bro PLEASE add these songs to Spotify so I can make a dank playlist for when I'm driving to/from work

[joefinite]

I love how the bass reminds me of the Super Mario 64 wing cap music

[purpleboye_]

I always preferred Palmtree Panic US ver. Loving this.

[tankgod]

This was the one I was anticipating the most and I would have to say this and Tidal Tempest are the best ones!

[Mopbrothers]

Great remix! This would really change the feel of Sonic CD US had we had this as the past theme. If Sega ever makes a Sonic CD 2 I hope they make the past themes sound noticeably different from the present themes. It's what made the US version so special.

[Chillius]

I just wish it was more prehistoric sounding, great work though!

[MarcusmarcbtI]

I like the concept and the composition of yours. Would love to hear it as an actual Sega CD PCM track.

Fidelity is way too high... but it still sounds lovely, and very fitting. ❤

[YaroslavReal]

This sounds more nostalgic than the JP version.

[SpiralPegasus]

Thank you so much for making this - I always wished for it to exist!

[shalpp]

I see you using that extra bit from the sonic boom sountrack

[azelfpromaster]

Damn. Past was already my favourite time zone in terms of music. If these were in the official game, it’d blow the other time zones out of the water, no doubt at all.
