#SONIC ADVENTURE 2 SOUNDTRACKS SERIES#
These distinctive motifs were performed by particular artists that Jun decided to enlist - some of them being seasoned contributors to the series (Tony Harnell of TNT), others completely new (Paul Shortino of Quiet Riot). The characters’ blatant distinctions have allowed room for a lot of exploration, but also begs the question: ‘’do the motifs work in tandem?” In the context of a video game the music works, but as with a lot of soundtracks, the listening experience outside of the game is ultimately weighted by a lack of cohesion. Much like in the first game, Jun has once again given each playable character in the game a corresponding instrumental motif serving as their central theme. Everything about Sonic had evolved - from its gameplay mechanic and artistic direction to the music (how many people knew that Michael Jackson worked on the soundtracks to the first three games?) The most notable and ambitious soundtrack in the series is arguably the Sonic Adventure 2 OST, put together by the myriad mind of the composer of the first Sonic OST, Jun Senoue.
