    This song somehow doesn’t actually sound as nice when cleaned up compared to how it sounded when bitcrushed for the original DS release. It’s missing the crunch. But I will always vote for Naganuma.

      As someone who grew up with DS games I can definitely tolerate the bitcrushed effect and don't really mind it if it's the only available version of an OST, but I think it sounds more nice and clean like this.

    Just gave the Sonic Rush OST another listen, wonderful stuff. This track in particular is probably my favorite, delicious upbeat breakbeat with ska instrumentation.

      I think “Wrapped in Black” is my favorite. It has such a unique feel — a dark foreboding intensity interspersed with... a sample of a sliding noisemaker toy? It’s the wonderful kind of weird that Naganuma excels at but is also a bit outside of his normal range, which is what I think makes it so appealing to me.
