Sonic Adventure Remix

For those who don't know, a Sonic Adventure remix CD was released in Japan a few months ago (just a couple of weeks before the release of the actual game). It contains only remixes of the vocalized theme songs, and for the most part is pretty horrendous. Recently, Chris Vrenna, a percussionist who frequently plays drums with "Nine Inch Nails" and Trent Reznor, spoke regarding his involvement with the remix project.

"It actually came through my friend and often partner Mark Blasquez. He works on a lot of my stuff." Mr. Vrenna goes on to explain that they were given, "a tape of what the original themes sounded like and we did 2 remixes (almost recreations) of those. One of which, Sonic's main theme, from what I heard is currently running in Japan as the TV commercial music for the new system."

(Chris Vrenna & Mark Blasques' remixes of "My Sweet Passion" and "Open Your Heart" were the two best tracks on the CD. Although that's not saying much, they're the only two where the original songs are recognizable among all the percussion beats and distorted vocals...)

Sonic Adventure Remix

Some sites have somehow made this out to mean that the in-game music in the US version of Sonic Adventure is being remixed, but it seems to me that's misinformation. So don't panic or anything.
