UK:RESISTANCE 'main page'
Here, after an EPIC and PAINFUL search for a way to embed audio clips onto the internet, and then a subsequent battle to make it BLOODY WORK, is the 1990s gem 'Supersonic' by Hedgehogs With Attitude. You may well think games are popular now, but we don't recall Call of Duty 4 having a fucking SONG in the charts or being on Top of the Pops.

This is the 12" mix. If "the floor" responds to this we'll "drop" (upload) the 7" and the instrumental. The video is not on YouTube. We remember a woman in a catsuit running down the Sonic 2 bonus level, but that may have been a fevered hallucination brought on by the excitement of it all at the time.




"I was clearing out my under-stairs cupboard last Sunday, (with a view to attaching some arris rail to stop the treads from creaking) and whilst doing so I came across this CD single from the early '90s. It's by a band called "Hedgehogs With Attitude" and although the track is mostly complete and utter bobbins, they have thankfully kept the melody from Green Hill Zone in the chorus" - Hampton.




OR JUST STEAL IT: If you want to just steal it, like in the good old days, the file's here. We are not particularly concerned about being made to take this down. We doubt any record company would want to publicly claim ownership of this material.




"Hampton" also said he remembered seeing HWA on Top of the Pops.

There are no words to describe how awesome this is.

I nearly posted an Ebay link to this song yesterday. But I couldn't be bothered. It was on tape as well so it was better. Oh what the hell, here it is: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=320338164120

I like that better than some of the new over clocked remix stuff

Wasn't Jeremy Healy some reasonably well regarded DJ back then? Also in Boy-George-a-like pop group Haysi Fantayzee?

This is awful. I am glad I missed it as a child (I suspect my parents are glad of that too).

I own this already. Not sure if that deserves a happyface or a sadface. I'll opt for happyface :)

1992 was a great year for videogame chart remixes, although Nintendo were considerably more successful. SADFACE.

Someone MUST have that TotP performance on VHS somewhere. I will personally pay to have it ripped and encoded to a modern file format.

Hampton = HWA

Cry for recognition

Yes, Jeremy Healy was "well cool" at the time. I remember seeing him DJ many times. I believe I may have even put my hands into the air like I didn't care.

Ah, this brings back memories.

I lost my virginity to this song.

BIG TUNE
The word 'anthem' springs to mind.

I couldn't get the audio to work but found it on youtube

Old news, in that it's up at most places that have Sonic music (Retro or SonicStuff, for example). If you're really interested in such things however, I could dig up my "Sonic the Hedgehog" (THEY CALL ME SONIC CAUSE I'M FASTER THAN SOUND I KEEP ON JUMPING AROUND) and super-rare Sonic the Hedgehog - remix (with 8 awesome SONIC CD remixes). Not that they'd be any less known on the internet.

"Wayne Brown/Writer Unknown"

Does that mean they couldn't be arsed to finish Sonic the Hedgehog so they could give credit to Masato Nakamura for composing the Green Hill Zone theme?

Any reason they didn't print this when I sent it a year ago?

Ouch. I actually remember that song.

Oh well, on the subject of awful Sonic-inspired music...

Three or four people have sent this in over the years. Only this week did I have the energy to find out a way to stream it. Plus the CD case was particularly well scanned.

Sorry, everyone else who's sent this in over the years.

This must have served as some kind of life defining moment for the young Richard Jacques.

I can imagine him having a revelatory moment hearing this.

It changed my life. I kicked the crack and dedicated my life to a higher power after seeing it performed on TOTP.

Chuck the instrumental up. Who wants to hear it ruined by human voices?

I put the cassette version of this on ebay a month or two ago....

0 bids.

Someone needs to make a midi version of this so it can play EVERY TIME I open UK:R and loop on endlessly.

Typo in link direct to file. It's to ukresistance.co/uk no co.uk.
