This composition is amazing! Question: for Crash 3 you also shared the unused skull route themes. How about the unused themes for Crash 2? I'm wondering how the jetpack skull theme would've sounded like...

@markus-lepist: maybe at some point - I'm trying to keep my page somewhat varied :}

Probably the best videogame soundtrack of all time! It would be awesome hearing Air Crash Skull Route. Awesome work in those tracks :D

huueer!! huueer!! huueer! =Cortex worker voice with shield:}

PLEASE TELL ME YOU STILL HAVE PRE-CONSOLE PISTON IT AWAY (the normal level theme) TO UPLOAD? Seriously, it would sound amazing :D

Sounds so similar but at the same time so much better

I have to agree, the original main level track would sound cool too if this sounds this much cooler

I feel as though i can hear elements of N Tropy’s theme in this. Love it 

Crash Bandicoot 2 - Piston It Away: skull route (pre-console version)
