Gotta love the temple music!
Believe it or not, I read somewhere that the Crash Nitro Kart theme (Ashif Hakik) is a fast tempo version of this

God, the N. Sane Trilogy butchered this track... Love the "clap" when it breaks so much. You really nailed the whole atmosphere with this one.

Sounds so cool now that I compare it to the original

Very interesting SFX. Something, that slowed. What is it?

this and the ruins levels music will always hold a place in my heart <3
