Sonic the
Hedgehog
Title: Sonic the
Hedgehog Date: ??? Publisher:
EMI Origin: Japan Info: Super, super rare,
downright mythical Japanese release. I don't know anything
about this other than its reported existence by reliable
sources (like, Sonic Team itself). I guess it's the Bigfoot of
the Sonic music world. *insert freaky music here*

Sing!!
Title: Sing!! Date: July
26, 1992 Publisher: BMG Origin:
Japan Info: Sega Game Music, Presented by B.B.
Queens. Well, it's obviously got Sonic on the cover...as for
what's actually on the CD, your guess is good as mine. I
presume it's got some classic Sega tunes (probably from arcade
and/or Mega Drive, this came way before Saturn and Dreamcast),
but that's just a shot in the dark. |
Super Sonic Dance
Attack
Title: Super Sonic Dance
Attack Date: January, 1993 Publisher: BMG
(?) Origin: Germany Info: The first in a
series of European music releases bearing the Sonic name, but
having no Sonic music in them at all. Actually, the first two
of SSDA's whopping three tracks have the classic Sonic theme
(and some sound effects) mixed right into them, so they sound
pretty cool. I certainly can't recognize "Inter Galactica"
from anything. Here's the tracklist:
- Super Sonic Dance Attack
- Super Sonic Dance Attack (Overtime Edit)
- Inter Galactica

Japan Info: A collection of remixed music from
various Mega CD (that's Sega CD to us Americans) titles. Track
5: "Sonic Ambient Mix" - Remixed by Naofumi Hataya; and Track
6: "Sonic 6290 Mix" - Remixed by Masafumi Ogata. Both are from
Sonic CD, but since I didn't hear the tracks, I can't
say which songs they're based on. |

Sonic
Mix
Title: Sonic Mix No.1: Dance American
Pie Date: 1995 Publisher: Sony Music
Spain/Arcade Music Company Origin:
Europe Info: Another one of those quirky European
releases. I don't know a darn thing about it. Even more
baffling than the CD itself, however, is the mystery as to
what's so darn great about American pie that it would induce
dancing? The mind boggles... |
Sonic Mix
2
Title: Sonic Mix 2: Dance Stayin'
Alive N-Trance Date: 1995 Publisher: Sony
Music Spain/Arcade Music Company Origin:
Europe Info: Read above. I think it's kind of funny
these were published by Sony, but y'know, once upon a time
they made games for the Genny and SNES. I bet those traitors
were plotting this the entire time. |
Sonic Dance Power
1
Title: Sonic Dance Power
1 Date: 1995 Publisher: Scandinavian
Records Origin: Europe Info: As before, a
quirky and rare European release. It's a dance collection
featuring music from a number of artists with the Sonic title
slapped on for looks. Don't look at me like that, it's
a marketing thing... |
Sonic Dance Power
2
Title: Sonic Dance Power
2 Date: 1995 Publisher: Zomba

above, but at least this one actually has a trace of Sonic in
the music selection. Track 20 is "Rednex / Sonic Mega Mix
'95." |

Sonic Dance 2
(Denmark)
Title: Sonic Dance 2
(Denmark) Date: 1996 Publisher: Arcade
Music Company Origin: Denmark Info:
Gentlemen, Sonic Dance has overtaken Germany, Sweden, Norway,
and Denmark; and we have reason to believe their next target
will be Finland. The plan is to cut them off in their advance
on the Scandinavian Peninsula, but we also have troops
stationed in Turkey just incase they get Hungary and move
south. (This is just too easy.) |
Sonic Dance

Title: Sonic Dance 2 Date:
1996 Publisher: Arcade Music
Company Origin: Germany Info: Word of a
rebellion developing back in Germany, the heart of the terror,
has prompted another all-out raid on the country. That'll show

Music Company Origin: Sweden Info: Another
rebellion back in Sweden has been squashed. The nerve.
Honestly. |
Sonic Dance 2
(Norway)
Title: Sonic Dance 2
(Norway) Date: 1996 Publisher: Arcade
Music Company Origin: Norway Info: Welcome
to the evening news with Gilbert Lyle. The good news is that
the epic Sonic Dance War is over. The bad news is that all of
Europe has been conquered, and all its people have turned into
drooling zombies incapable of anything but wandering around
chanting "Super Sonic Dance Attack" in their respective
languages. After a lengthy conference, the Americas, Asia, and
Australia have decided that things won't be too much different
than they were before. So we're just gonna pretend like
nothing ever happened and go about our national business. I
have just lost all of my European readers. |
Sonic the
Hedgehog
Title: Sonic the
Hedgehog Date: 1996 Publisher: Arcade
Music Company Origin: Germany Info: A rare
European release. The music's absolute crap, but the disc also
included a demo of the Genesis game Comix Zone (which
was also absolute crap) and some Sonic video footage
(apparently of the Sonic ride and other screens). As far as I
know, this CD is no longer available (thank God), but MP3's
are floating all over the place around the internet. Here's
the tracklist:
- They Call Me Sonic (Airrave)
- Sonic Metropolis Trance Zone

- King of the Ring (Extended)
- Rave Sonic (Wing Fortress Rave Zone)

American collection of this sort, it's a collection of

20th
Anniversary
Title: 20th Anniversary: A Tribute to
Game-sounds for Music-CD Date: May 21,
1998 Publisher: ??? Origin:
Japan Info: A collection of various game remixes, I
presume. Alas, all the tracknames were listed in
Japanese...can't there be a universal language? Why doesn't
the whole world just adopt English? I mean, it's obviously the
most functional and colorful of all the world's
dialects...sure, it takes a bit longer to learn, but- *looks
around* Ahem. As I was saying, I'm not sure exactly what this
is the 20th anniversary of...gaming in general, I suppose.
Here's a lack of tracklist:
