Let's take a look at the American soundtrack for a moment. From that perspective, I can't blame them." "They had all been playing the Japanese version for weeks or months before our version hit the streets, so it was like we replaced the music to Star Wars after the movie had been out for a while. I was going to compare this to changing the music in Star Wars, but then I realized that Nilsen already did: At the very least, he did try to insert some aspects of the original music into his own. Granted, you can't blame Nilsen completely, as there was likely some direction from the higher-ups given the reason for the music change, which I will get into later. My favorite example will always be Stardust Speedway, where Nilsen got it in his head that he should compose something that would be more fitting as background music for Sonic dying from asphyxiation in deep space than anything else. But then someone comes along and takes your painting and is all like "haha dick your mountains are wrong," and he proceeds to redraw said mountains and distribute your painting in a way you never intended it to be seen. Anyway, you think this landscape is great - your best work yet. You may or may not paint, but frankly I don't care. For example, let's say you paint a landscape. Taking away a certain original aspect of a piece of artwork is, in my opinion, disrespectful. Maybe you're not the type that sees video games as art, but I do. Sonic CD was meant to be played with the Japanese soundtrack. Respecting the intentions of the creators and all that.
