Just a thing that has plagued my mind for almost 20 years:

Go to the 1:39 mark and you will hear a low-tone voice singing... something. And I always wanted to know what. I'm
relatively sure the choir says "Rust!" since the name of the place is "Rusty Ruin", but without confirmation, I can never be 100% sure. However, the low-tone voice, I reeally dunno.
At the 2:03 mark, he sings it again and repeats himself about 4 times before another "Rust!" pipes in. Nobody on the internet knows (or cares). Those who ask always ask about the "Rust!" choir. I've even sent an email to Richard Jaques himself about it (but I don't expect to hear back from a famous composer).
Off hand, to me, it sounds like "The beauty of the sun" (which makes some sense because Rusty Ruin had a really cool thing where it rained on and off as you played the level).
I've played with it in Audacity. Toyed with pitch, speed, even tried erasing tracks (though that is tough to pull off) and now I'm thinking it MIGHT be "Knowing that you are my song" or something that sounds phonetically identical.
If you can pick out what in the world he's saying, please lemme know.
......meanwhile, Sonic 1 and 2 soundtracks got released in CD format with the original music (direct from the synthesizers), demo versions, and all that. Here's the youtube channel for it:
