20 years ago today, Sonic CD hit the shelves of North America, following its Japanese release two months prior. The hit title that premiered recurring rival and robotic doppelganger Metal Sonic, alongside hammer-wielding valkyrie and blue believer Princess Sally Amy Rose, has been celebrated all around the community this year, predominantly through the Metal Sonic-themed Summer of Sonic convention featuring character designer Kazuyuki Hoshino. However, another Sonic CD tribute was in the works by way of the musical community at OverClocked Remix.
Seven months ago, the folks at OCRemix formally unveiled their 45th tribute album project, following the likes of Hedgehog Heaven, Project Chaos, and Sound of Speed, penned under the name TEMPORAL DUALITY: A Sonic CD ReMix Album.
Founded by Rexy and led by SuperiorX, the album pays tribute to both American and Japanese soundtracks of the game, with the talented team behind the album rearranging the works of Naofumi Hataya, Masafumi Ogata, David J. Young, Mark “Sterling” Crew, and Spencer Nilsen!
Now with the album’s official trailer out, it’s only a matter of time before its release hits! Stay tuned!

If you’re interested in other OCRemix projects, the community recently released the Capcom-supported For Everlasting Peace: 25 Years of Mega Man, which you can purchase on iTunes and Amazon, as well as pre-order a physical copy. Highly recommended if you’re a fan of the other little boy blue!
I’ve always believed that nothing could ever top Project Chaos in terms of OC Remix albums. Just from this trailer (and Funk Fiction’s generous pre-release of Crystal Duration, of course), I can confidently say that title’s been challenged.
Plus, it’s been a long time since I’ve laughed that hard at a trailer, so a well-done to the maker of that! Looking forward to this release. It’s a lot of heart and effort that goes into these babies, so I’m psyched to see what the this chapter will hold for our Blue Blur’s next set of ingenious re-imaginings of classic tracks.
great remix of Sonic CD music soundtrack!
Oh Boy! I can’t wait for some new & fresh material! Now it is just smooth sailing until The Sonic Stadium Music Album 2013 & Knuckles! Na na na na na na, na na na na na. Na na na na na na NA na na na na.
I’ve been waiting ages for this. Mainly just for “This is Madness!”, but still. D:
Monday can’t come here soon enough, I swear.
Slept on the last 3 albums because OC Remix built their empire on a million remixes from the first 3 games, so who needs them. I’m genuinely excited about this though, because CD remixes are only occasionally done by OC. Not gonna lie, I’m probably just going get this for dat sexy Stardust Speedway from the beginning of the video. Damn, I love DAT METAL SONIC FUNK!
That Stardust Speedway track actually got released on OC Remix early, and by ‘early’ I mean back in September. It’s here if you want to take a look:

Man, I’m excited to hear this! Thanks so much to all of the efforts that went into making this. And that preview video is awesome!!
Can’t wait for this release. Should be an interesting experience to finally feel the brunt of philistinist vocal hate.
