Summer rush

In the land of commercial music, Hideki Naganuma is mainly known as a videogame composer who scored some tunes on the Jet-Set Radio soundtrack (a Sega Dreamcast now cult game that didn't reach commercial success in its time despite great reviews).


Although this corporate fellow was already familiar with a kind of acid-rockish big beat & baggy-techno sound, his work the Sonic Rush DS soundtrack suddenly appeared highly boosted, pleasantly tough, catchy and frenetic, full of ghetto vocals cut-ups, edgy riffs and overvitamined beats. A specific taste was added by the fact that it was nicely crushed through the DS nasty sound engine, resulting in a no-bass / full midrange abrasive harshness.





OST was released on cd in Japan under the name Original Groove Rush.
