I got stuck a lot on the space levels, so this one sticks out a lot lol

What was the process like prepping the songs for the PS1?

Man, I never get sick of listening to these pre-console mixes. Wish they would hire you to do future Crash games. CTR Nitro Fueled was so much better having the option to listen to the original music

Thank you for this! I can't believe how clean this sounds.

been waiting for this for a while. thanks much @joshmancell
