“Dreams Of An Absolution” – Theme of Silver, Sonic 06: WIP Version

Once upon a time people discovered work in progress/demo/beta (pick your poison on what you want to call it) versions of a couple of tracks from – note the caps, here – SONIC The Hedgehog. Otherwise known as Sonic 06, Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 without brackets, Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) with brackets, Sonic 2006… or that title that got rushed due to Microsoft putting pressure on SEGA to have it out before the PS3 launched. And which ever so kindly took itself in and out of canon in the same game thanks to a closed time loop created by temporal shenanigans.

Thinking about it, the Sonic franchise REALLY likes messing about with time. To an almost awkward degree. I guess you could say Sonic is time travels… and if you got that one, well done.

This WIP version of the awesome theme of Silver The Hedgehog, “Dreams Of An Absolution” by Lee Brotherton (later known as @BentleyJones), was one of those tracks. Much like other WIP versions it has got synths instead of lyrics, so you still get the elements missing from the tune.

Pretty sure we didn’t initially find/reveal it, it was early enough in SW’s history that it was one of those posts we lost when CuteNews broke. But Sonic Wrecks was probably the Sonic community site most excited about it at the time. Bundling it in with a bunch of other miscellaneous Sonic 06 tracks not on the official soundtrack to form the ‘Absolute Absolution’ collection. It had the K-Klub remix of DOAA on there too – and I bet most of you have ENTIRELY forgotten about that one.

Anyway, it was a part of the Depository from very early on, right up until its removal from the website. So welcome back, I guess?
