The epic conclusion to our trilogy of experimental episodes is here: A Case Study of Sonic Adventure 2. It's time to give this insane, wonderful, terrible, nostalgic soundtrack the detailed investigation in deserves, so buckle up for an episode that leaves no tune unturned. How did this Dreamcast swan song come to be? Who composed the music? How many different genres does it cover again? If you're looking for a comprehensive guided tour of Sonic Adventure 2's audiological escapades, this is the place to be.
If you want to buy the complete Sonic Adventure 2 soundtrack, check out Volume 1 and Volume 2 of the official release. You can also buy the vocal tracks from Sonic Adventure games in both original and instrumental formats. Sega has finally made everything available in a tidy, legal, well-credited package, so hats off to them!
