I actually didn't hear Sonic CD's Japanese soundtrack until almost two years ago, but I was ware of the controversery sourrounding the USA Sonic CD's music. The background music that plays in the zones is unlike anything you've heard in a 2D Sonic game both before and after Sonic CD's release. Both vocal songs are sung in English and are very catchy. The Japanese soundtrack actually sounds pretty American from my point of view. The two vocal tracks, "Cosmic Eternity - Believe in Yourself" and "Sonic - You Can Do Anything" were written/performed by Keiko Utoku. The Japanese version of Sonic CD's music was composed by Naofumi Hataya and Masafumi Ogata. Both the American and Japanese versions of Sonic CD have different soundtracks and this has caused quiet a stir among fans over the years. Even with all that stuff the game brought to the table, Sonic CD is probably remebered most for the biggest difference between the USA and Japanese version of a game: the soundtrack. There's also the time travel aspect of the game, which allows you to visit the past and future versions of each zone. This game also introduced Amy Rose, who would go on to be a regular in the 3D Sonic titles. It was the introduction of fan favorite Metal Sonic, Sonic's sinister metallic counter part, and in my humble opinion, the most memorable of all the machine Sonics. Sonic CD is noteworthy for a number of reasons. Personally, I think the honor belongs to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, but I still view Sonic CD as a magnificent entry in the Sonic series. Sonic CD is widely considered to be the best Sonic game of all-time.
