Sonic brought us the action game of 1998, titled Burning Rangers. Now, Marvelous Entertainment brings us the matching original soundtrack. The Burning Rangers soundtrack has a wide variety of music from rock, to pop, to rap, to techno-jazz. This CD has it all, and it sounds great. Some songs are instrumental; some have mostly Japanese lyrics; and some are the English lyric equivalents. The lead Japanese vocals come from Takenobu Mitsuyoshi (the same guy that did the Saturn Daytona USA soundtrack)! Tomoko Sasaki sooths your soul while she sings "I Just Smile". To top it all off, some songs feature an excellent guitar performance from Vinnie Moore. What more could you ask for?? There are 25 songs on the disc ranging from short to average in length.
"The Burning Rangers soundtrack sounds great -- especially the title track, which is reminiscent of some early Santana" - ShinForce.

Glow of past we deliver to the future land
For the growing world of tomorrow we strive
Passin' through the matrix of data
Drivin' you into cyber dive
Even when you're lost in darkness
You must believe in tomorrow, it will come
Just like angels with burning hearts
We'll face the risk of our lives
Sight of night I cheer to embrace the magic
Visions displayed on the monitors
Can you see the moon and the stars and the sun?
Could they be in our imagination?
Sight of night I cheer to embrace the magic
Starting an adventure for our future
We are all hopin' for
Setting out to lead us to new the universe
Burning Rangers! To the brand new sky we dive
Burning Rangers! Wings we have of shining white
Burning Rangers! Aquamarine-colored sky
Fly high! With grace and pride
Burning Rangers! We're gonna make it right
Burning Rangers! Dreams of people we're powered by
Burning Rangers! Running at the speed of light
Just do it! Just Burning Rangers
Don't you feel like you've just lost your way?
Oh, we're always watching over you
Dreams are kept in a secret place
Cradles rockin' with love
Sometimes a piece of our dreams have fallen off
Together we can make everything right
Just like angels with burning hearts

"Burning Ranger's music is excellent. From the Sonic R type main theme to the well placed level tunes. The music creates the excitement and ambition you need to continue playing. The sound effects are excellent too. Everything in the game makes a sound. You'll hear fire cues, lasers, explosions, warnings, voices, and more. Sonic Team even included a voice navigation system, which is quite helpful and impressive." - SEGA SATURN
It seems that two of the three vocal songs from Burning Rangers are included and remixed in 1993 Sonic Pinball Party, listed as: "(Angels with) Burning Hearts" and "We Are Burning Rangers". I do not know if Vinnies original work remains on this - Would love to find out though - Tristan
