Ĭurious about the island's nature, Knuckles the Echidna, the guardian of the Master Emerald, ponders if the island has vestiges of an ancient civilization that was wiped away in an instant by a "power stone" in the distant past.

Moreover, the island's appearance rapidly changes constantly due to the Pillar's power, transforming it from a mere rock into a green paradise. Some months after the incident that caused the Floating Island to grace the surface of the ocean, an upheaval occurs in the South Sea, resulting in a mysterious island created by tectonic movement caused by the Master Emerald Pillar's energy to appear. I mean, at least most of them are of decent quality.Spoiler warning: Plot, ending details or any kind of information follow. Well, I guess I'll have to deal with it and stick with the ADX/AAX files from the actual games. It still is cool, but it just doesn't have lossless versions of the music from one of my absolute favorite video game franchises. Yeah, but it's still a shame due to some (if not most) of the Sonic soundtracks not having an actual physical CD/vinyl release at least not any available to the general public. So you could make the argument that actually buying the album would still be worth it since it has the potentially extensively edited and mastered lossless audio tracks.
Actually a lot of Sega properties are still here on this website, it's mainly just Sonic (and OutRun, After Burner) that really got the boot with a lot of fanmade albums, Gamerips and whatnot also removed.Īs to why YouTube uploads are somehow allowed, it might be because the tracks uploaded areĪ) mostly Gamerips, therefore compressed, not additionally mastered and not lossless studio qualityī) affected by the additional YouTube compression, which also further lowers the audio quality (or rather cuts off higher frequencies), even if most people are just fine with it

While they were at it, many other SEGA albums were ordered to be removed too, this one seems to have slipped through the cracks. This concerns official soundtrack releases and albums that you can either buy physically on CD or get on streaming services.Īs this website offered many rips directly from released CDs, some of which mere weeks or months old, for FREE, a removal was ordered as the original composers would not get a single cent from this. Wave Master is SEGA's Music label and manages the music of their games, most SEGA composers are part of Wave Master.
