relaxing and calm, masterpiece, thanks Mancell, by the way and the jungle rollers?

Very spiritual and tribal music. The Marimba is my favourite

this hight quality version is sounding amazing!

Most peaceful track from the original game. I'd seriously pay for a Crash Bandicoot Stereo Soundtrack!

I think these congas sound really clear. I can't get a sound that clear no matter how i try. My point is that we're talking about 20 years old technology here but it doesn't seem to lack any quality. The difference is more obvious when i'm using headphones. Of course i'm not in a studio and music is really my free time hobby but i'm using much newer music software than studio vision. So what is the main requirement to have the best possible sound quality (apart from the composer's capabilities) and how these tracks sounded that good!

sounds just great to hear even some small noises that I hear in the game. would it be possible to hear the ctr credits music?  thanks for these all

Man, I love listening to these Crash songs every once in a while. Brings back all the good memories I've had with my PS1/PS2.

Were you using Studio Vision before you made video game music? Or was it a requirement to compose for PS games?

One of the most beautiful tracks you wrote, Mr. Mancell.
