Style: video game music
Primary Emotions/Themes: a definitive work in the realm of modern video game music
Thoughts: September 9th, 1999. The day when the Dreamcast launched. I remember going into Hollywood video trying to rent one of them and they wanted a three hundred dollar deposit. Needless to say I did not rent a Dreamcast that day. It was much later that I would get one along with this game: Sonic Adventure.
This soundtrack was one of the first where vocals were included in a lot of songs. This soundtrack was the first that I heard that incorporated dance music as part of the soundtrack. This was the first of so many things, and I ate everything up. It sounded so good, so fresh, so new.
Even now revisiting it twenty five years later I love this soundtrack as much as I did back then. The melodies are burned into my brain and I can't get them out even if I tried. One of Sega's finest moments.
