AAUK is the reason Bentley jones is in all stars racing.

They decided to have him in the game at summer of sonic.
People like to assume things.

Still, his most famous works (read: masterpieces) were Sega related. I wouldn't be surprised if they reached a consensus and he made some Sega music in the near future.
Let us hope so! ^___^ His songs so far have been perfectly suited for the Sonic franchise.

Because, you can just feel how the music and the visuals mesh so well together to create a colorful world of flamboyant furry characters. ^___^ It's truly delightful!

Well they do not. Just because you like both does not mean they go well together.

It is widely regarded that Michael Jackson's music fits Sonic the Hedgehog best, and I agree with that, but Bentley Jones? Fuck no. Techno dance music with bad vocals probably does not fit with anything in the platforming genre, either.

Mikey's music better fit Sonic of the early 90's, and it only worked when it was coming through a Yamaha YM2612 chip rather than his actual CD audio tracks.

Bentley Jones is much better for the Sonic of today that we've all come to know and love. ^__^ I could so totally see Sonic and Tails raving to "So Much More", their bodies pressed against each other so closely...

Sonic CD's soundtrack proves you wrong completely.

I like how you never gave a reason for why you think Bentley's music works for Sonic or anything at all other than homosexual acts that you make up in your mind. Again, just because you like both does not mean they work together.

Actually, Michael Jackson's music wasn't in Sonic CD, soooo... I guess that means you're the one who's wrong. o_O

What's this crap about "give a reason"? This isn't about the mind, it's about feeling the music in your soul. You know, understanding what meshes and grooves just by hearing it, right? You can't get that from explanations or any encyclopedia, it has to come from inside. It's because I'm in touch with my soul that I realize that the feel of Bentley Jones songs mesh in well with the feel of modern Sonic.

A different genre of music, like industrial metal, only clashes with Sonic. People hate it when they take a dark and brooding atmosphere to the franchise like they did with Shadow. Sonic should have light and airy pop/dance music, such as the song "So Much More". It simply works.

I am saying that the Sonic CD music is in the same style as the Genesis games. It is not even fully proven yet if Micheal DID actually work on any of the Sonic games either, my point was that merely MJ's style works best with Sonic games. He did perfectly fine with real instruments, so I am not sure why Sonic cannot.

I am just saying it does not work because everyone on this forum besides you hates it completely and agrees that it does not work.

I do not know why you lashed out so negatively at me for no reason. I was just saying it does not work and then you made awkward comments that you knew would get a poor reaction. I never meant my post to come off as an attack, but sorry if it sounded like that.

'Industrial music' is not always the same thing we heard in games like Shadow and can be good. Also not sure what you meant by this because I am not sure if any of MJ's music is like this?

Sonic never worked with the 'dance' genre of music, not sure why you think that. This is a platforming series, after all.

The Japanese soundtrack was indeed in a similar style to the first two Sonic games, which were composed by Dreams Come True, not MJ. The only game that MJ reportedly had a hand in was Sonic 3 - not even Sonic & Knuckles. One single game. Not the entire franchise, and certainly not modern Sonic. As I said before, if you're going to match MJ with Sonic, he'd work better with the retro 90's Sonic... and even better if it were through that classic Yamaha sound chip.

A majority of Avatar fans might tell you that Avatar deserved to win Best Picture over The Hurt Locker.

A majority of people can be wrong.

In the same post you quoted I said it was not even ever proven that he really did work on it. Just one guy said he did, that does not mean it is instantly true.

Dreams Come True did not do the entire soundtrack for both of the first Sonic games, either. There were many other people like 'Bo' who still can do it all the same and just as good, but Sonic Team simply does not know anything about the original games like they constantly have proven, which is why Sonic games have gotten so many random changes in the past ten or so years.

I am not sure what your point is. I was just pointing out that the majority of the people here do not agree with what you have said and many of them have been with the series since it was new, it is completely different from Avatar and The Hurt Locker in every way.

The point I made is that the people who made Sonic music originally all said they were inspired by Michael Jackson's work, and it shows. Why should the new games force a new style completely? Not only does Bentley's music not fit with the themes, characters or art, but it does not work for the genre at all either. I am not sure how you cannot understand this as there has never been any game in the genre that is designed, plays or looks anything like Bentley Jones' work or art, unless you want to post proof?

Saying it is 'in your soul' and that everyone else just cannot understand is the worst case of an egotistical elitism I have ever heard of, too. I do not hate you or anything, but come on man, that is a low blow. I do not care if you like his work, if you do that is great, I am happy for you and all, but if you are going to come into here and say something 'in your soul' told you it works when the actual creators of the entire franchise have said otherwise, then... There's gunna be Hell ta pay, ya punk!
