Another age-old debate in the fandom: which version of Sonic CD's OST is your favorite? Personally I'm quite fond of both versions but the JPN/PAL version of Quartz Quadrant Good Future is enough to tip the scales for me, what about you guys?

The US version. I like the style it's made in.

I love the guitars in the US soundtrack; namely Stardust Speedway Future + Metallic Madness Future’s chunky rhythms, and Chaos Quadrent’s Future/Present slap bass. Some of the atmospheric pieces breathe new life into the stages as well.
But classic Sonic OST’s have always had an iconic J-Pop and Future Funk aesthetic to it that made it unique to western audiences. And now that Sonic games are always super Americanized with its music and locales, I find the Japanese soundtrack is always the way to go for the true classic experience.
I also really don’t like the idea of localization teams altering an aspect of a game just so it sells better in the West. Really no better than locking off Megaman 2’s hard mode in the west because Americans would find it too “frustrating”.

Love both. However,
Tidal Tempest(best song in the soundtrack), Stardust Speedway and Wacky Workbench Good Futures US do make me like the US better.
