It just somewhat feels like a rushed product. I may have expected too much, but for something as popular and defining as the first two Sonic games, many people's childhood treasures and the reason they got into VGM, it just feels too easy to go ahead (nearly 19 years after the release of Sonic 2 and seeing that this album is the first release ever of the music in that form on CD) and e.g. put some blue text on a white piece of paper. Info itself is great, liked the interview. It's the presentation that I'm not 100% d'accord with. But it's all subjective, I'm sure some people like the minimalistic touch and the blue/white theme and the rather uninspired Sonic1-on-grey-background-cover. That being said, as far as the musical content goes, the 3rd disc feels completely misplaced. Love the rest though, including the lovely demo tracks was a pretty neat idea. Love the sound of the Marble Zone demo and Chemical Plant's demo is like a complete new awesome song.
