Trying to combine elements of the Present and Future themes was like fitting a square peg into a round hole, but I think I managed to do decent job

I hope Spencer Nilsen listens to these. They're really good!

It sure sounds like its straight out of 1993

Ps: At this point in time the quartz has barely formed; So Robotnik's efforts to mine them are practically nonexistent. Sonic's not in as much of a hurry here, though he still needs to be on guard so he doesn't fall into the swamp. Getting swamp musk out of hedgehog quills is not easy.

I adore the strumming steel guitar, which is a clear reference as to how guitar-heavy (mute and overdriven guitars) the entire US Quartz Quadrant soundtrack is. Instead of the primitive feel that the JP original provides, your version is making me vision a group of campers settling near a mushy bog surrounded by pine trees. Now that I mention it, I'll totally love to camp in a place that resembles Quartz Quadrant Past to enjoy the breathtaking view. Great job -- this is on par with your Metallic Madness Past concept.

I love you took the rock of the present and made it into a great relaxing tune. I think it fits the quiet natural beauty of the past region vs the industrial activity of the present.

0:41 = Good Future 1:02 = Bad Future I love the way you mix Present, Good and Bad Futures in one song, the result is always awesome

I wish there was a Sonic CD mod that used these tracks for Past stages.

This is a great take on Quartz Quadrant. I especially love how the lead melody at 0:21 (the Good Future melody) sounds a lot like something out of Gunstar Future Heroes.

With the songs' southern-esqe sound, the song kinda feels free and untamed, like quartz quadrant in the past wasn't an advanced, mechanical quartz mine filled to the brim with conveyer belts and mining equipment, and instead just an unassuming swamp in the middle of nowhere. It fits the stage wonderfully, and as someone who really appreciates US QQ despite how good JP is in comparison, I approve of this concept and I really like it. Spencer would be proud.

My FAVORITE of the US past themes. It even beats the JPN counterpart by a whole mile.

This is still my favorite song you've ever done probably

This sounds so good! I think you blended the themes well. Quartz Quadrant was always my favorite (especially the futures), so I'm delighted to hear this!

I could literally listen to this for hours Somebody make a 10 hour version I'm dead serious

Another Amiga-sounding music. It sounds something Skaven, music composer for the Bejeweled series, will produce. When I was young, I have no idea what the level name means but the past theme makes me think it is forest-themed. Your music is like we are in a fantasy forest, exploring the wonder of gems or quartz, in this case. So far my favorite US Past mix. I love that feel.

This gives me vibes of a beautiful sunny day in a forested suburban neighborhood right after it just rained. Everything outside is all wet and dripping with water, but nobody cares because the air smells so good and there's a rainbow in the sky.

OMG. You did an amazing job. I didn't knew that QQ Past will sound so amazing. P.S Anyway, Tidal Tempest is my favorite of your remixes. It's so atmospheric.

Blows my mind how the percussion almost feels like the drum beat that invokes the same energy of the vocals of the Present theme - akin to how both music and lyrics can tell a story or send a message, it carries that natural evolution. I dunno, that probably sound dorky as heck, but I'm just super impressed how you captured the same melody but with an element of playfulness.

Only after hearing the US Present can I understand and appreciate this. Love the rock vibes.

Listen to Wacky Workbench's Present theme and compare it to either of Quartz Quadrant's Future themes (pay particular attention to the vocals). It'll become clear that somehow, QQ and WW got their present themes swapped.

I love this, it fits the background of the stage, which most of the American Songs in the soundtrack do

Palmtree Panic would be the exact same thing as the Japanese one, but with a twist or two on the medley or instruments

The first part sounded like a mountain hike for me

Nice to have a song that actually resembles the Present. Really relaxing I love it! I thought it would be the most difficult one to come up with

Considering that the present and two future tracks have literally zero similarities between them I’d say that this is a really well done track! Probably going to be the weakest of these past remixes but I think that’s mainly because of the original songs and no fault of your own. I’m really looking forward to Palmtree Panic and Collision Chaos!

👏👏👏👏👏👏 good job man!

I'm hearing a similar tonal sequence to Volcano Valley in places. But it still feels like a Quartz Quadrant track. Nice work.

You did amazing for having a difficult time with the finished product, KingMeteorStudios.

This is angelic

This feels like a lost track from CD-i Tetris (and that’s lovely).

Nice Thanks For Doing My Request

Christian Whitehead needs to add these as the US Soundtrack for the past in Sonic CD!

This is fragging epic

Quartz quadrant past: an ancient swamp that hid mysteries eggman discovered that there were diamonds in the place and thought time stones? over the years all the water was changed to eggman dried everything and found that behind the green walls there were crystals and so all over the place there were thousands and thousands of precious stones

A GREAT exploration of the past while keeping the melody. If only these were the official songs. I actually think these would fit better in an adventure style game. The Sonic CD levels are too short for these kinds of masterpieces

This is really relaxing

This feels Zen-like and I love every moment of it.

Sega should ask if they can use these past remixes so they can patch them into Origins.

So I just listened to your US past playlist and watched your videos on which Sonic CD songs are the best. I’m officially designating you as the liaison for Sonic CD music. Sounds good, yes? EDIT: THIS REMIX SLAPS BTW

Despite which soundtrack you prefer, can we all agree KMS made a real banger here? Also, can we all agree time travel in Quartz Quadrant is a pain in the arse?

Where i can download the Past US Tracks in high quality?

Me encanta este tema, es muy relajante y a su vez tiene un aura melancólica y de misterio.

Perfect for my temple garden music!

This is my favourite song from the playlist

It sure is a song about dreams and nature.

Present: Quartz Quadrant Past: Lake of Years Bad Future: Metalic Quadrant Good Future: Quarced Dream

Ok. I think this is the perfect past theme over the JP version

this is the 2nd best past USA song also which one came first? HyperSonic's remix or KingMeteorStudio's Remix?

Imagine if they did a remake of Sonic CD and that it had both the soundtracks arranged from the Japanese/European versions as well as the American version respectively, as well as the original soundtracks from the Japanese/European versions as well as the American version respectively. And in the case of the soundtrack arranged from the American version, it has its own themes from the past for each level that did not have the original soundtrack.

this is my favorite one

*starts to dance*

Synth Bass 2 Acoustic Guitar (steel) Marimba Melted Choir/Choir Aahs (plating part of Good Future melody) FX 7 (echoes) (plays after Melted Choir) Electric Grand Piano (?) (1:09 -1:11, 2:21 - 2:24) Drumset (Dance Set) In this case the square peg was smaller than the circular hole. P.S. Quick question: So let’s say hypothetically there’s a fan who really likes your work, and wants to try to sequence, say, Chemical Plant P Mix or Death Egg P Mix. They would certainly give you credit, but they’d like to see if you would approve. So how would you respond?

Is there any chance we'll all be able to here more deconstructions even on the Past Concept Tracks? I'd like to hear Launch Base B Mix's and Quartz Quadrant US P Mix's.

I hated the present version, but liked the BF and GF, same with Wacky Workbench for JP. Where am I going with this? Well, I like it

dreamy...

20× better then US Present.

Does Fit Good In A Jungle Stage.

I love this so much! Do you happen to have a download of it?

Maybe not good as the “P Mix” JP but this is really great!

Quartz Quadrant ACT 2 Past

Hey King meteor studios! Why did you use a little bit of good + bad future of it its good!

Hey you can tell NicoCW to do the Alternate Music of Sonic Hysteria(Concept Game by NicoCW(Not me),like Sonic mania,but with a new planned feature) version of Quartz Quadrant and its other Time places! great idea huh?

these sound like a flash game ost

I have mixed feelings about this, I'm not sure if i like it or love it.

Yes

Do more sonic cd concept remixes for other famous zones of the Sonic franchise please

This reminds me of the forest navel from Pikmin

2nd best past concept

Past: It’s still a cave of Quartzes and Quadrants, but the hedgehog must continue to Wacky Workbench, or get crushed by a stalagmite.

Amazing! Remix Streets of Rage please!!

Second best so far boi-o!

Sorry. I mean this is my favourite one from this list.

Secret of Mana-feel

Hey can you Palmtree Panic Past (US)?

I hope MooniMilk listens to this song! She saw me once when I commented on her videos!

Please make casino night present and past

Lost Labrinth zone

this is kinda deppresing i can here when it opens its the present then on 0:20 the good future you can hear then on 0:41 its back to the present 1:02 vocals come in from the good future i assume it is from the good future starts to kick in as well until 1:12 thats the good future vocals but more old and man vocal this is just my theory i dont think there is a bad future refrence there

When you dream about Loskythecopydog77...

set the speed to 0.75

Sounds like Animal Crossing.

Sonic 4. Vibes

This IS the past of Quartz Quadrant.the JP version doesn't fit as well imo.

Quartz Quadrant was always my least favorite zone in Sonic CD. The music was kind of boring and the level itself was nothing special. Nice track though. Keep em coming.

Meh 4/10
