Quartz Quadrant (Re-Imagined) [16 Bit; Sega Genesis] - Sonic CD (JP)

Hey there!
Quartz Quadrant is my favorite song from the Japanese Sonic CD OST, and I've always wondered how it would sound if the speeds/vibes of the A and B part were swapped, and this is the result of that! I also incorporated some elements from the different time variations of the song, let's see how many you can spot!
*Pixel art by Bo0ger: www.pixilart.c...
*Remix produced by me in Furnace Tracker

[@jpzeiro]

1:00 I love this harmony

[@JahnDavis2734]

This is so good, I dig the vibe of this one for sure. That hard hitting part in the middle at like 1:09 is just...it hits different lol

[@ZillaYT.]

Whoa hey guys his music is also good

[@yurieshicatay6309]

you truly reinvented the song and made it your own nice work

[@joshshrum2764]

It sounds like a boss theme.

[@LvlGenesis]

Quartz Quadrant JP continues to be the best Sonic CD track out there.

[@karc4]

Yes

[@karc4]

I instantly fell in love with this song the moment i played the level, idc about stardust speedway where th has this song been my whole life

[@megabaz9]

Thank you!!

[@cathode_mothray]

Those small changes in the chords really make this so much nicer to listen to. I love that so much, this is so cool... from one artist to another I really appreciate the effort

[@SpectralT23]

Call it Stardust the way this beat got me floating!

I legit couldn't believe my eyes when i saw on my feed of a near perfect remix of one of my favourite OSTs of all time. And this Mf got a whole playlist too? Subbed immediately

[@thesaveofethopia]

Super amazing, it sounds super amazing!! It almost sounds like a past song for the game! 0:51 is definitely my favorite part!

[@_whocaresyt_]

Alt Title: Quartz Quadrant GREAT future mix

[@AeonHero147]

Quartz Quadrant is one of my favorites in the JP Soundtrack and this does such a great job, youve earned a well-deserved like for this one

[@metalmr.i9543]

I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH!! IT SOUNDS SO BEAUTIFUL!! 😭

[@The_Chronomaniac]

Absolutely fantastic reimagining of this piece. It actually is one of my favorites from Sonic CD and you definitely did it justice!

more megabaz already??? and of my favorite track from sonic cd???? awesome!! incredible cover! :3 my brain loves this. the speed swap thing is brilliant and makes your cover stand out :3

[@Diduilitm]

damn changing the lead to a more guitar-y sound completely changes the vibe in the drop, this is great

[@StudioRoosterE.A]

Quartz Quadrant JP was Already a Fantastic and Beautiful Track in CD so this Re-imagined Remix just made it just as Beautiful

[@Devixicus]

This remix is so wonderful, I can't stop listening!

[@CharlesC520]

This is impressive, ngl I got teary-eyed it was so good

[@maniac2633]

[@gab339]

amazing arrangement man damn

[@wadoodleyt4132]

Wow, this is amazing!

[@TheActualNoober]

calling this a banger would be the understatement of the century

[@juanvicentecadenasfernsnde9786]

This sounds like they don't play with time travel and combine several ideas, like the melody of the past in the 0:34 or the beginning of the good future at the end

[@Londe_e]

Yeah. uh-huh yeah. Listening to this every day

[@force64music]

Sounds amazing!

[@SanecSolfowovichnew-nq8dd]

[@supermorioh8277]

This sounds like something I've heard before, but still like something fresh and unique! Amazing job!

[@mann-nova9392]

This is a really cool new interpretation of this track!! Really digging the full speed ahead vibe of the second half

[@HeavyRaiden]

It sounds gorgeous 😎

[@FirstName_LqstName]

I've never clicked on a video faster. And I've never had a smile put on my face just as quick God speed man, you've got a real talent. I love the small changes and quirks you make. Adds that small something that makes it go from something special to something amazing

[@megabaz9]

Thank you :) since the people who watch my videos are already familiar with the original songs, I always try to incorporate new things to keep it interesting

[@yateoi]

how could you not grab me as a suscriber with this insane level of musical beauty

YOOOO This is awesome, super cool remix

[@_Dollin]

Gotta love how you swapped the "preparing" start with the soothing yet fastly vibes of the ending of the song and did an New Song! Never thought of this and it's pretty awesome! Can you try this on Palmtree Panic maybe?

[@21_electro]

this is incredible... im speechless

[@ShineTermiten]

Oh mah gawd, I loved this vibe swap.

[@karc4]

Aight now i need a CD version if this.

"We love MegaBazes remixes!!!" we all say in unison!!

[@joshwizinsky1979]

this is fucking glorious

[@gringusgaming]

Dude the percussion was fantastic and I already love this rendition but it makes me a little sad bc this specific arrangement is so good that if fhe instruments were of the same fidelity as the original version it'd hands down be the best I'd ever heard

[@gringusgaming]

Doesn't matter that much tho bc it feels like one of my favorite songs got completed when I didn't even know it was unfinished

[@gringusgaming]

Am saying this especially the 2nd part focusing on the percussion tho bc some other elements of the song might not translate very well to a non 16 bit chiptuney sound

[@ZillaYT.]

[@obiomajronyekwere4469]

I gotta ask... how many hours does it take to make such bangers! maybe its cause i stop and give up too easily but making songs of such scale and power with so many instruements and notes combining together honestly its just baffling. it feels like im watching a genius or some sort of powerful entity do the impossible while im stuck here just gazing at their skill.

[@megabaz9]

Don't think it's a fast process, this one took me around a week, my advice is that you must have a clear idea/concept of the direction you want to take the song to, and don't be afraid to start all over again if you think it's needed, but remember to take breaks if you get frustrated, it's always the best solution

[@obiomajronyekwere4469]

@@megabaz9 A WEEK? damn i guess i have been a little on the impatient side, i was thinking most who were skilled could do it in like 3 hours. but thanks for the advice ill try to take my time and restart if i need to.

[@nanxya]

@@obiomajronyekwere4469 definitely take your time in my experience, ive gotten things done in lets say: 15 hours. but im not actually working for the whole day, its really a span of a week or two of work on a song just with several breaks the track will just form itself honestly, just give it a bit to flourish and i bet you will be proud with whatever you do i wish you the best and remember to have fun along the way

[@obiomajronyekwere4469]

@@nanxya Wow thank you , yknow i have been lookign at this as if music has to be made within 1-3 or your just wasting your time and you dont have the skill to make the track. honestly i think thtat mentality has been holding me back alot in all honesty.

God it sounds so Toxic Caves i Really want to add this to my Sonic Fan Game Sonic Eclipse as the idea is that you Revisit Old Locations that have Aged over Time as an Example. Metropolis Zone from Sonic 2 is now a more Modern City from Sonic's Effect that has allowed it to Evolve into a City.
