Yess! I love this intro, it sends chills all over

Hey Josh, may I ask you, how long did it take you to compose one track for Crash Bandicoot? And what was your thinking process while making a skull-route remix? This composition sounds so unique like it was ahead of its time...

Ah one of my missing favourites. Finally this guitar sounds right. The console version uses just same sample from regular Hang Eight in same key going out of tempo.

The wait was worth it to hear this track in all its uncompressed glory

Please, I NEED the Snow Go death skull route theme!
