In honour of Sega finally bringing many classic Sonic soundtracks to iTunes, I decided to highlight a classic track from the ever amazing Sonic CD. Sadly these soundtracks are currently available in the US at the moment and not in Canada, so I cannot pick any of them up. Hopefully they are released in the Canadian iTunes Store very soon, but I digress.
Sonic CD has many great pieces of video game music from both soundtracks (the North American soundtrack and the Japanese/European soundtrack). My two favourites can both be found on the title screen. While I would love to be talking about Sonic Boom, I will save that track for another edition of Hump Day Music. I want to highlight a track that few North American Sonic fans have actually heard before the re-release of Sonic CD late last year. It is Sonic CD's title screen theme from the Japanese/European soundtrack. Quite possibly my favourite title screen theme of all-time, it is incredibly upbeat and infectious. I cannot help but smile whenever I hear it. This music really brightens up your day and gets you bouncing around to the beat. I could easily listen to it for hours on loop as it serves as great background music while I am working. The Sonic CD Title Screen music is an underrated piece of video game music that should be listened to. Give it a chance, I guarantee you will crack a smile.
