syntheticgerbil Posted December 10, 2009 I think this gaming rumor is finally cracked. I'm still not fully convinced though, since it's weird it was hidden for so long or why Jackson is not credited. The excuse and explanation here is sketchy: http://forums.sonicretro.org/index.php?showtopic=18507 B&W: Can you clarify the rumor that Michael had in 1993 composed the music for Sonic 3 video game, for which you havel been credited?Buxer: I've never played the game so I do not know what tracks on which Michael and I have worked the developers have kept, but we did compose music for the game. Michael called me at the time for help on this project, and that's what I did. And if he is not credited for composing the music, it's because he was not happy with the result sound coming out of the console. At the time, game consoles did not allow an optimal sound reproduction, and Michael found it frustrating. He did not want to be associated with a product that devalued his music... B&W: One of the surprising things in this soundtrack is that you can hear the chords from Stranger in Moscow, which is supposed to have been composed later... Buxer: Yes, Michael and I had composed those chords for the game, and it has been used as base for Stranger in Moscow. [...] Maybe one day we will know for sure and we can pass the knowledge on to our grandchildren. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
