Firstly, I have seen a rip of Crash Tag Team Racing's music before. It had all of the music tracks for the race courses, the hubs and the minigames (which is the meat of it, though cut-scenes music was left out). Unfortunately, the rip wasn't good. The music was of poor quality (a lot of it sounded almost mono, and the rest just wasn't crisp). I have heard of the music released on the official soundtrack album. The album only has the music for the 15 race courses, and even then, it's terribly put together with no proper intro and outro for any of them, and rough transitions between the 4 tracks that each song is made up of. Not even any fading out. That album did sound crisp, however.

So, would it be possible for somebody to create a HQ, full rip of Crash Tag Team Racing's music?
It has come to my attention that I am pretty much the only person I have seen talk about, like or even know the soundtrack to this game! And that's such a shame because the soundtrack is amazing!!! It has a capella from the band SpiralMouth, which produced lovely music for Crash Twinsanity (which strangely does have an amazing soundtrack rip), and some cantata with the help of Marc Baril.


Crash Tag Team Racing was released for the PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and PlayStation Portable in 2005 (the PlayStation 2 version is the best bet).


I am very saddened by the under appreciation of the soundtrack, and we must end this with the proper respect it deserves!
Thanks in advance for anybody who takes on the request.

I will second this request.
