  Comments from album director Stepan Sudilovskiy (Black_Doom), co-director Jorrith
  Schaap (Jorito), visual artist Davy Owen (Odai), and ReMixers

  Album freely available at http://ocremix.org

  Sonic has always been my favorite video game series. It has always meant a lot to
  me. I clearly remember the day when I asked my parents to buy some game and they
  bought Sonic Adventure DX. Of course, my reaction was nothing but fascination! The
  fast-paced addictive gameplay, vivid stages, and, of course, catchy music made my
  first experience of diving into Sonic universe one of the most memorable parts of
  my childhood. Then I started to learn more and more about Sonic the Hedgehog games,
  and they were all amazing to explore, but music remained the most enjoyable part
  of this entertainment. A few years later, I started to look for the soundtracks
  on the internet and downloaded almost every album existing at that time. I was listening
  to them on a daily basis, and I was listening to nothing but this music -- that''s
  how obsessed I was with it!

  In the middle of 2012, I came across a remix of "Special Stage" theme from Sonic
  the Hedgehog 3, "Red Sphere, Blue Sphere" by Ben Briggs. Apparently, I had to head
  over to the Project Chaos website, grab the whole album and listen to it. That was
  another experience that changed my life drastically -- the idea of giving all-time
  favorite video game music a completely new life impressed me a lot. So, a few days
  later, I visited OCR and started to wander around. I was really surprised by how
  many arrangements and arrangement albums were published there! Finally, in the beginning
  of 2013, I joined the community. It was also the time when Temporal Duality was
  in development, so I was following the progress very closely. I''m a Sonic fan after
  all, so how could I miss something like that? So I must admit that this album inspired
  me to start this recruiting this album! Big shoutout to SuperiorX and Phonetic Hero!
  ;)

  Finally, about a year after registering on the OCR forums, I decided to start the
  album project. My vision for this project seemed to be simple: I wanted to cover
  as many games as possible (with up to 3 tracks per each game; yes, we ended up having
  4 Sonic the Hedgehog 3 tracks, lol) as well as to represent a variety of music genres
  to represent the variety of Sonic''s journeys. The project immediately started to
  gather lots of people, and that''s not surprising at all, given how popular the
  Blue Blur is. And I understood that I needed some help, since the project was not
  going fast enough. This is where I asked Jorito to step in to direct the album along
  with me. Luckily, he agreed to help me, and that was one of those decisions that
  completely changed everything. From that moment, the project started to develop
  with immense speed. I just don''t have enough words to express my gratitude -- he
  helped me so much! If I start to list everything he did for this album, I will probably
  never stop. Also, big thanks to Odai for such nice art, big thanks to the Sega composers
  for their work, and, finally, big thanks to all the musicians who contributed to
  this outstanding album. Directing it was a blast!

  Enjoy!

  - Stepan Sudilovsky (Black_Doom)

  Even though I have been part of this album for quite a while as a ReMixer, it was
  pretty late  that I joined as an album co-director. And I''m glad I did, because
  it was an exciting and interesting experience to witness the creation of an album
  from "the other side." Since I''m no expert on things Sonic-related, I have to give
  mad props to Stepan for defining the vision for the project and doing a lot of the
  prep work that set things in motion and Odai for really capturing the Sonicness
  of Sonic. I was happy to be able to contribute some of my "get stuff done" skills,
  and helping guide the album and all the people who collaborated towards the final
  product was a blast. Really proud of the final result and I''m sure you''ll enjoy
  the album as much as I did!

  - Jorrith Schaap (Jorito)

  OK, so I''m a Nintendo fanboy (boo! hiss!), so Mario was the icon that I grew up
  with. But when Black_Doom approached me to art an album commemorating 25 years of
  another extremely well-recognised childhood game character, how could I turn it
  down? My allegiances and rivalries were soon forgotten.

  When I approached the design process of this album cover, it didn''t take me long
  to realise I wanted to pay homage to Sonic the Hedgehog as he is most recognised.
  Within minutes, I was sketching up the concept of our blue friend busting through
  that oh-so-memorable winged star ring from the menu screens. No time for wagging
  fingers and badass posing. Let''s get down to it! And the back cover displaying
  a modified level start screen naturally followed suit.

  This whole procedure was a very organic one for me and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
  With only mild suggestions from the directors, it didn''t take me long to complete
  the whole thing, and I must say I''m pretty pleased with it. I think it captures
  and reflects the fun-loving, bright and adventurous themes of both the games and
  the character, and is a good balance for the ReMixes that have been made for the
  album.
