notes: 'RoBKTA’s album, dubbed ‘Needlemouse Mania’, is a brilliant successor to his
  previous Sonic The Hedgehog themed album: ‘Club Needlemouse’. Needlemouse Mania
  is packed with influences from genres like Future Funk to Neo Arcade. From the chilled
  out ‘Green Hill Zone’ to the energetic ‘Press Garden Act 1’, RoBKTA takes us on
  a nostalgic and uplifting journey through 10 of their favorite Sonic tracks.

  Artist note, by RoBKTA:

  Needlemouse Mania is a fitting musical tribute to Sonic The Hedgehog on the occasion
  of its 30th anniversary. I drew inspiration from various musical genres like funk,
  electro and Neo Arcade. I think I crafted a worthy successor to my debut album,
  ‘Club Needlemouse’, while adding new musical identities to more popular motifs from
  soundtracks of the Blue Blur game library.
