notes: 'I have always dreamed of covering the music from the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise,
  and here is the first instalment of my series of albums dedicated to that IP: The
  Hedgehog Initiative.

  As the Album progresses, you will notice a subtle change in audio quality. This
  is because I started this album a while ago as a side project when I first started
  recording guitar and producing on computers. I hope this doesn''t deter from the
  music itself. I hope you enjoy as I have put many, many hours into this, trying
  to get it to sound the way I want. :)

  - Track notes -

  1. Green Hill Zone Guitar Cover

  When you ask someone to name a Sonic song, 9/10 it will be this one, and for good
  reason. I have always loved this song and have very fond memories playing through
  this level countless times. I apologise for the sound quality, but this was my very
  first attempt at guitar recording and producing.

  2. Marble Zone Guitar Cover

  Marble Zone''s dark, mysterious tone is completely different from Green Hills happy-go-lucky
  adventure tune, and it fits so well into the mix. I think this song sounds great
  played in a rock band.

  3. Spring Yard Zone Guitar Cover

  This funky little tune has always had a special place in my heart. Countless memories
  of bouncing around on the springs and platforms of Spring Yard Zone.

  4. Labyrinth Zone Guitar Cover

  I hated this level as a child, and still have a lasting resentment for it, but every
  sonic games needs a tense underwater ruin level. Thankfully, it was accompanied
  by some great music to help endure the pain. I enjoyed using my crybaby wah pedal
  on this song.

  5. Starlight Zone Guitar Cover

  This song has to be one of my favourite Sonic songs of all time, second only to
  Sky Sanctuary Zone. This song has an almost tranquil feel to it, whilst keeping
  it essence of speed and adventure.

  6. Scrap Brain Zone

  This song has a particularly mechanically evil sound to it, fitting of old blubberbutt
  himself. I decided to use Chorus on this song to give it a much more mechanical,
  oiled up feel.

  7. Ro-Boss-Nik (Boss Theme Guitar Cover)

  I decided to merge both the Boss theme and the Final Boss theme into one song, as
  they work rather well together. I had fun recording this, because I had a bit more
  room to play around.

  8. All Clear! (End Medley Cover)

  Re-recording all the previous songs gave me a chance to change things about, and
  considering I have learned a lot more about recording and producing it sounds quite
  good! This always gave me a real sense of achievement hearing this, so I''m glad
  I covered it!'
