Quartz Quadrant - JP vs US Mashup

Another mashup of Sonic CD's two soundtracks for you to enjoy; this time, from Quartz Quadrant.
This zone has always had an indoors/outdoors transition as you go through the level and it is very apparent in the game's Japanese soundtrack. In this mashup, I hope to have capitalized on that fact as the music transitions from Bad Future to Present to Good Future. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anywhere in the mix to incorporate the Past version of the soundtrack.
This mashup uses tracks from the 2011 release of Sonic CD and tracks from the Sonic the Hedgehog: BOOM soundtrack, and was composed in Mixcraft 8. Ripped sprites for the thumbnails were taken from The Spriters Resource.

It has the depressing nature of the US version, while still motivating you that all is not lost with that JP groove!

[@JimBimBum]

like a neutral time line that still want's you to improve.

[@cool3nikola245]

Way past cool

[@CheddarVG]

Not gonna lie, I like both Bad Future themes for the zone, and the aesthetic, especially the outdoor areas, you can tell Robotnik's influence has taken over the whole place, factories that go on for miles.

[@shocktrauma85]

@@CheddarVG Both Bad Futures play to different areas. The US sounds like what you'd expect outside, sad and desolate. The JP sounds like the inside, dark machinery with molten quartz and on the verge of breakdown.

[@gabeheartz13saravia97]

This kinda works

[@Yuzoboy]

This works amazingly well, thank you KZbin recommendations once again :)

[@cool3nikola245]

Funny enough is how US people tough this was a game based on the SATAM cartoon because it was so infamous back then so not only have they been calling Amy "princess Sally" but they also made the soundtrack that sounds so haunted and desolate in reminisce to the show...

[@cool3nikola245]

And if that is not the case then I'd assume they just wanted to do something different.... Eather way, way past cool

[@applyshoulder]

not to mention that two episodes of SATAM had sonic and sally use the time stones to travel back to before eggman robotized mobius

[@mikecraftbro]

Now this is the strength of having 2 soundtracks

[@perfectlybalanced8995]

Most Sonic fans: “debating which soundtrack is better” Intellectuals:

[@bigstinker-l4e]

no one is debating, jp is better but this is cool though

[@luisalejandroplatacordero]

Usa es mejor

[@faz10do]

Listen fellas they are both good in their own right theirs no point debating them it’s just up to personal preference

[@faz10do]

@@bigstinker-l4eI play tails campaign in origins or the mobile port with the us soundtrack since in my head cannon he cause the bad futures to happen since sonic 4 and generations have bad futures in them

[@Silver.Productions]

This was on my recommended and I can definitely see why

[@malachiallen1517]

The mashup with Quartz Quadrant Bad Future actually sounds fitting enough for the end of Little Planet, not gonna lie

[@savoijordan1934]

The jp one sounds like people are fighting back both sides collapsing and the us sounds like you’ve lost but the war is done both sides have been killed and now the place will never ref over but the both sounds like a war especially when it goes to the bad future inside

Tbh all I want is just an extended version of the Bad Future mashup. It's just perfect.

[@aaalicethegoat]

that's me with one of the metallic madness mixes

[@shadic1988]

I think the only place to incorporate Past is actual the beginning. By repeating the beginning of it for the baseline. Actually, I saw several opportunities to incorporate Past while listening. Still, great job regardless. Can’t wait to see what you do with the other stages like Stardust Speedway and Palmtree Panic

[@lorendavis1632]

To tell you the truth, I don't know if I'll be doing those two stages. I definitely have some ideas as to how I would mash up Collision Chaos.

[@derekht1242]

0:00 bad future 1:12 present 2:47 good future

[@derekht1242]

@Ja'Terrius Crayton is the order put in the video

[@maugos]

Holy crap! The good futures sound so beautiful together. Although, I wish I could hear the US present version better. Can barely tell it's there.

[@lorendavis1632]

The US Present track is an outlier in the Quartz Quadrant set simply due to the fact that it is in a different time signature (6/4 time as opposed to 4/4 time). Most of time I spent on this mashup was trying to remix the US Present track into 4/4 time. It would have been nice to make it a little more prominent in the mix, but there's just not as much going on melodically in that track as there is in the other tracks and remixing it to fit 4/4 time would further break up the original melody it might have.

[@maugos]

@@lorendavis1632 It's cool. I still really like the song. But yeah, I can imagine it being tough to figure out how to get one song let alone all seven to work together.

[@user-nf2es5xv5w]

I’m here thanks for the second video

[@simpletactician1047]

Holy shit that transition at 1:12 is divine

[@MADCATsProductions]

Another great mashup!

[@Oriana_Lockheart]

Nice work, you have earned a subscriber

[@lorendavis1632]

Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad you enjoy the mix.

[@GatorOne-in7hk]

I absolutely adore this mashup. It is the perfect fusion of both soundtracks! Quartz Quadrant is the best. 🥰

[@itsamejonarbuckle]

With Japan being on one side of the world, and the US being on the other, this *should* be the EU soundtrack, being in between the two

[@masongaudenti3069]

I agree, but all the US bar and 4/4 beat section versions have to be part of it as well

[@suntzu1433]

2:16 Best part Best part

[@LongSinceDead1]

This is great man! Look forward to seeing more

[@Velasquez_1008A]

Please, we would like to see more remixes like this of the game :(

[@BinglesP]

There’s ones of Wacky Workbench, Tidal Tempest and Metallic Madness by the same creator(not this one, I mean shared by each of those 3)

[@savoijordan1934]

With how this sounds how can you not love this with a passion if you like both or even just one of the soundtracks its just too cool

[@Duxt]

That's very outstanding Good job.

[@shocktrauma85]

It's like it's saying get your ass moving through this desolate land you destroyed so you can change things and not Forget this Place woah.

[@shocktrauma85]

Can we get an extended mashup of the Bad Future? They work so well together.

[@Arxiuz2]

I only heard you during your metallic madness days. have you acquired some robotniks since then? got some groove on dude. keep it comin.

[@jenniferbarangan1502]

If the US Version was a bit louder, thos would be better. It's very hard to actually hear it, even if it has a 6/4 time signature. If you could make the US Version more noticeable, it would make it easier to hear how both tracks sound together.

[@willshipman4569]

now hear me out ....do this with the boss themes
