Another short song I made over the course of a handful of hours! This time it's a character theme for Killian (sort of)! I took inspiration from the vibes of Axiom Verge and Spiritfarer in terms of instrument choice and whatnot

This rendition of the Hymn of the Fayth being performed in an actual church by a group of singers needs way more attention. It sounds absolutely stunning and haunting at the same time!
One again reminded that there is nothing quite like the Sonic Adventure soundtrack. So many songs that are needlessly long and complex in a good way. Like Red Hot Skull for Red Mountain is only heard for like a minute tops in game if you're slow but all of the ultra cool stuff in that song is after the 1:30 mark. Just so many masterful tracks that you don't get to appreciate unless you go and listen to the whole OST outside of the game.

Gonna put some of my favorites (that aren't like major popular tracks) below the break. I am begging you to listen to these if you haven't before and/or if you have any interest in game music in general.

you practically never hear the stuff after a minute in to this song and it's incredible:

And this song literally only plays in the last room of a level for 2 seconds unless you replay it because the flag is broken for the previous area to activate it:

And of course nothing will be able to match the incredible somber melancholy of Gamma's theme:

This song has one of the strongest openings of all time:

Another amazing track that only plays for like 7 seconds in a cutscene:

The regular boss themes in this game don't get enough credit for how awesome they are:

There's far more that I would put on here if I could, but this post is long enough so I'll just end with this:
