Funny thing about work sometimes. When you think you have a full day off, you don't actually because they you can get called anytime to work. So my day and all the plans I had got extremely shortened or thrown out the window. Sadly one of those plans was to write Hump Day Music, but that got postponed to today. To make up for the delay, I have picked one amazing track from the Sonic the Hedgehog series, His World.
While His World does come from easily the biggest disgrace in Sega and Sonic's career in Sonic the Hedgehog 2006, it is an incredible track that has become one of my favourites of the series. Before anybody knew of the travesty that Sonic 2006 would become, this piece of music is what got me so hyped up for the game. I would watch every trailer that came out just to listen to His World. Sadly Sonic 2006 became yet another nail in Sonic's coffin instead of the rejuvenation of the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise that many, myself included, thought it would be. Sonic fans would have to wait until the release of Sonic Colors to see the Blue Blur return to his former glory. Enough of my little tangent, the only good thing that came out of Sonic 2006 was the soundtrack. Sega made an excellent decision to have the music in a Sonic game be all orchestrated because it is just beautiful. The Sonic 2006 soundtrack is a treat for the ears. You can find two lyrical versions of His World done by Zebrahead and Crush 40 respectively, but the best version in my opinion is the His World Instrumental. Hearing the instrumental without being bogged with lyrics that do not always sound the best with a song this epic is the best way to listen to His World. Even though Sonic 2006 was an atrocity that would be better off forgotten, His World is a piece of video game music that deserves more praise than it gets from everybody outside the most hardcore Sonic fans like yours truly.
