Tobikomi | [Cover] R3 - Chemical City (Roland MT-32; MIDI) @tobikomi5018 | Uploaded December 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
Composed by R3
Arrangement by Tobikomi (MT-32)

An arrangement of R3's "Chemical City", or alternatively titled, "Can't Take It Anymore". Chemical City is the final level in the game, Toree Genesis, where you play as a bird running around at the speed of sound. As you can probably guess, the games are inspired greatly by Sonic the Hedgehog, and Toree Genesis is no exception since that game was made to commemorate the 31st anniversary of Sonic the Hedgehog! You can download the game here: siactro.itch.io/toree-genesis

The song is a nice blend of various styles. You have these FM instruments, some NES sounds, and some drum samples from Sonic 3 & Knuckles. It all meshes perfectly well. Compositionally, the chord progressions are very top-notch. I'll be honest here, the chords were probably the hardest part when covering this. Haha! The drum samples used (along with some vocal samples) gave the original tune lots of character, something I was hoping to replicate with the MT-32. I wasn't very successful with it since most of these sounds are extremely cheesy. XD I hope you all enjoy this!

Sequenced in JAZZ, recorded in MUNT
