Is this a mix per-console? https://youtu.be/PbrznWpn-fk

Really fascinating listening to this where there is a different sound each "interval." Like you were experimenting to see which sounds worked best so you could whittle it down. Cool hearing the sounds that stayed and became part of your Crash pallet! Special mention to that trombone "rasp" sound :)

I love how creepy and dangerous the music for the first game sounds
