Holy shit those violins...

Sonic and violins are a match made in heaven, gosh this remix is so good OG comment younger me wrote: _"For some reason do Sonic and violins go pretty well together! I love this song!"_

Can't believe they dedicated a whole stage to 2020

3 good reasons that i love sonic 06: -OST -Mephiles -Silver and blaze

Sonic 06:This is crisis city the only thing you can do is going to the database to know what happened and how to comeback Modern:The whole city is on fire but you can still save the world Classic:Welcome to hell the next two to four minutes will be the worst moments of your life we hope you will enjoy the troll signpost

Those VIOLINs......

I never realized how prevalent drum and bass is in Sonic Music, makes sense why I always loved it so much

That destructive funnel of wind, formed by hot and cold air masses colliding and is also referred to as a tornado, is carrying a typically 4 wheeled vehicle know as a car!

Sonic Team always uses violin perfectly.

Sonic '06 may have been a buggy mess but god damn was the music good.

“The whole city’s on fire!”-Sonic “Meh...”-Silver/Blaze

2020 Soundtrack : Covid19

"That tornado's carrying a car!"

This was greatly orchestrated and sounds beautiful, for a place that's about to collapse. Makes you think of the impending doom Crisis City has, doesn't it?

The whole city of Minneapolis currently

I'm just going to put it nice and simple. This song is a masterpiece.

Speaking as a musician, the transition at 1:04 is probably the best I've ever heard.

Those violins put Zinnia to shame.

January 2020: crisis city (classic) December 2020: crisis city (modern)

This is the perfect theme to go through a place you've never been before but for some reason seems strangely familiar.

"2020 can't get worse!" December: Edit: We made it boys

THAT CAR IS CARRYING A TORNADO!

"its just a silly hedgehog game, dont go too hard on the music" *the music

Sonic quotes from crisis city: "That tornado is carrying a car!" "THE WHOLE CITY'S ON FIRE!!!!" (cheering from crowd (which is probobly dead))

Anyone ever imagine if they redid Sonic '06 but actually made it good?

Nope just as hard even without glitches. darn it

This is the year 2020 theme song.

Mom: Don’t forget to take the meat out the freezer in the morning Me, suddenly remembering 5 minutes and 45 seconds before she gets home:

Blaze: I never thought I would be in Crisis City again. Me: That game wasn't canon! The events were erased!

and this song isnt in smash 4 because...?

WE MAKIN IT OUT OF THE TORNADO WITH THIS ONE🔥🔥🔥

1:04 be making me cry it’s so beautiful!!!

Listening to this remix next to the original, it's kind of cool how they both have super different moods to them and different things driving the frantic pace of the song. This one is slightly faster, and has a much more obvious "dance" drum beat to it that makes it sound almost like a club mix. The depth of the song is also a lot more shallow -- there's not too many "layers" to the song that might be distracting. It's also a LOT shorter -- the entire thing is mostly comprised of the "Flame" and "Skyscraper" parts of the Crisis City song, with mostly just a tiny portion dedicated to "Whirlwind" as it prepares to loop with a really clever and well placed call-back to "Tornado" with that barely-audible sax solo in the background. All in all, it's a really great remix, and very well suited to losing yourself to a routine, like if you're at work or in the gym. I've downloaded the extended version of this remix, and it's crazy how easy I find it to just get lost in time because aside from the very beginning when they briefly drop the beat, there's no real dips in intensity from start to finish. The original Crisis City, though, is SUPER dynamic and deep. I would encourage anyone to go back and listen to it again, and just marvel at how the music takes you on a journey. None of the parts really sound alike, so it's a lot easier to tell how much time has passed. It's also a LOT longer, taking over 6 minutes to get through all of the parts of the song, which isn't too unusual for the 06 OST. The beat is a bit slower, and curiously, the drum beat seems to play less of a role in driving the "Fast" sensation of the song -- instead owing a large portion of that to, as best as I can tell, the droning, constant thrumming of a bass line. There's a lot more stuff going on with the sound design, too -- a lot more unique sounds and ways of mixing the instruments. And I especially like the guitar solo in "Whirlwind" and the dueling guitars in "Tornado". And, of course, the aforementioned sax solo, as well as some horns near the end making it sound kind of noble in a way? It's really fascinating how the beginning and end of the song sound so radically different -- ending on an almost triumphant note, instead of the super tense beginning of the song. I did download an extended version of THAT song too (because of course I did), and it does a phenomenal job at marrying the beginning and end. I prefer to listen to that when I have more time to marvel at all the work that must have gone into it. I'd recommend it for walking / running (preferably on a treadmill -- be safe!) or biking (same hat!) since it's a tempo you can much better keep pace with over an extended period of time. This got super long, but at the end of the day, I find it fascinating how two takes on the same Sonic song by the same Sonic team came out so wonderfully different, while still clearly resembling each other. I think it's awesome how this remix focused mostly on the best and most memorable parts of the song (really hinging on that violin section in "Skyscraper" and the bombastic opening synth sounds at the beginning) while trimming the fat, even though I think it's a shame that some of the depth of the original is lost thanks to that. They both get 10 stars, though -- all day, every day.

they actually turned this level from the hell that it was, into something fun with actual replay value! if SEGA can do that, then they can pretty much do anything

Fire starts Teacher: Everyone leave by alphabetic order Zacheria:

I'm happy 06 got representation. It shows that Generations is truly celebrating all of the main Sonic Team Sonic games up to that point.

Sonic always had good music.

THE ONLY GOOD THING TO COME OUT OF SONIC 06: THE EPIC MUSIC

Shit is so iconic and I don't even play sonic games

Why I like sonic music 1. *VIOLINS*

Shit man, sonic may have some shitty games, but the music never fails to please.

2:29 When you are on an exam and there's only 5 minutes left and you forgot the answer of the last question

Why i love 06: -Silver -Blaze -Ost -Characters Things that make me hate 06: *-Bugs* *-Elise*

1:04 OH MY GOD THAT TRANSITION IS HEAVENLY!!!!

1:46 don't listen when your drive

Everyone: Yay 2020 is gone, 2021 will be better! *January:*

I like how at 1:40 it seems to get more urgent and desperate.. Beautiful.

2:28 does not get nearly enough praise, it is *SO underrated.*

I just LOVE this song. It's so amazing

Nobody: 2020: *THE WHOLE WORLD IS ON FIRE*

Not even 2 seconds and I'm already crying of Nostalgia! 😭

Crisis City (Modern) is the best soundtrack in sonic generations. Change my mind.

1:03 I love this part so much

0:21 thought Diavolo's theme was kicking in for a hot second there

“Welcome to California, please enjoy your stay!”

Was playing this full blast on the last day of school in class with me and my friend vibing along while everyone else looks at us like we've lost our sanity

that moment when you challenge shadow to a fight and forgot to bring your shotgun

The whole city’s on fire!

1:03 to 1:25 sounds so damn good I kept replaying over 100 times

Whos ready to revisit this stage in fall 2024

Sonic: "That tornado is carrying a car" "That car is carrying a tornado" "That tornado is carrying the Tornado" Tails: "Sonic help!"

At 0:32 I hear a bit of Dragon Road from Unleashed :p

That original version of this song's comment section is carrying an overused joke!

this honestly sounds like a story in itself

Man, I really hope no one turns this into an incredibly hard guitar hero custom; that would be SoInhumane.

Everyone’s talking about the violins, but how could we forget about that piano?!

Me: 2020 is getting bad Literally 2020:

That violin sounds amazing and this song is definitely on the top of my list. They should share this on an anime of some sort. It would make a great intense scene~

This reinterpretation was very good, it took an excellent song and with these violin touches it gave a perfect air to the stage that is already involving by itself

1: original 2:modern 3:classic.

Perfect strings, perfect beat, perfect E Piano. I fucking love it

Who else is here because of Sonic telling you your joke wasn't funny

I was on the bus listening to this and I got physical chills hearing these violins. For some glitchy ass games about an anthropomorphic blue hedgehog, they go all in when It comes to delivering the most disgustingly spectacular soundtracks. Like, just what the absolute fuck dude??? This is *art.*

POV: It’s 2014 and you woke up early on a Wednesday to perfect your time on Crisis City before you have to go to school.

Truly one of the most beautifly flowing peices of game music ever

Who's listening to sonic generations ost while stuck in quarantine

Imagine driving through the California fires to this

Hey look it's the whole goku black saga

Frantic and chaotic, but also sad and desperate. God, the atmospheric music in Sonic games is so damn good.

Saga making games: Useally good or bad Also Saga making music: Lets make the music so good that everyone likes it more then THE GAMES THEMSELFS

I love sad and hyper the song is. You're racing through a massive disaster and trying your hardest to escape it.

This will forever be my favourite level music in Sonic Generations

It’s so awesome how they condensed the music from the sky section and the music from the mach speed section into one small part at the end, God Generations got creative with its music

0:01: "You are about to enter the courtroom of Judge Judith Sheindlin. The people are real. The cases are real. The rulings are final. This is Judge Judy."

it's so hard for me to choose my favorite version of crisis city. there's the 06 version, which is very cinematic with a lot of movings parts, and then there's the generations version, with the violins having a sense of motion (which makes sense bc it's sonic) and it combines all the awesome parts of the 06 version

T-teen titans battlegrounds: this song is perfect

The part where it's just the strings really sends chills down my spine

my fondest memory of this one is looping it when i was finishing english essays

Por Dios!.Cómo suenan esas cuerdas!!

THE WHOLE CITYS ON FIRE!

This is the song that plays when you escape a crumbling city.

They better do this track justice in the remake

I subscribed cause you gave me what I've been looking for for years now,this song,tysm 😌

Me running from the FBI after I realized, more chips = less chips

Even if a Sonic game is bad, it'll always have a great soundtrack

I've finally bought Sonic Generations yesterday on Steam. And after multiple downloads and an Unleashed Render mod installed, I've been having a jolly good time with it! It feels so good to revisit this game again. If only I kept my Xbox controllers so that I wouldn't have to use the keyboard :/

And the weird thing is they had the nerve to show gameplay of Sonic '06 Crisis City in the end credits.

Someone needs to do a mashup of this and Zinnia's theme

People making song : alright we gonna make a song for crisis city here we go Violin guy:

You can never go wrong with the violin
