The Crash Bandicoot PS1 Soundtrack Collection is a collation of music from the Crash Bandicoot games that were released on the original PlayStation, to celebrate Crash�s 20th birthday and the upcoming-at-the-time-of-upload release of the N. Sane Trilogy on PS4. The games included are Crash Bandicoot, Cortex Strikes Back, Warped, Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash, as well as Josh Mancell's uploads of the pre-console mixes and demo versions.

UPDATE 5!: At the request of turtle09, I've gone ahead an uploaded a FLAC version of the Soundtrack, which also contains the Pre-Console Mixes in MP3 (since they are after all sourced from Soundcloud). As well, the Pre-Console mixes of Tomb Time, Mystery Caves, Toxic Waste and Bear It have been added!


Previous Updates:
UPDATE 4!: Two tracks I had missed from CTR have now been added. These are "Bounce Victory", for when Ripper Roo, Papu Papu or Penta Penguin win a Cup, and "Suave Victory", for when Pinstripe Pottoroo or Komodo Joe win a Cup. As before they have been recorded optically from my PS2 using an original copy of the game, as the Victory music stutters on PS3 due to slowdown during the podium cutscenes. The tracks have been placed after the Battle arena tracks and just before the Scrapbook track. Huge thanks to DaveMan1000 for pointing them out!

UPDATE 3!:
Four new Pre-Console Mixes have been added from Josh Mancell's Soundcloud! They include "Crash Bandicoot theme w. Beach Intro (Pre-Console Mix)", "Temple Ruins (Pre-Console Mix)", "The Lab (Pre-Console Mix)" and "Future Frenzy - Bonus Round (Pre-Console Mix)".
"Crash Bandicoot Theme (Demo #1)" has been re-numbered from 01a to 01b, to make room for "Crash Bandicoot Theme w. Beach Intro (Pre-Console Mix)". This works well as the Demo would become the track labelled "Into the Jungle".
"Sunset Vista" has been renamed to the more in-style "The Lost City". This is because Sunset Vista is actually the name of the second stone city ruins-themed level.
"Dr. Nitrus Brio (Pre-Console Mix)" has been renamed to "Brio Hologram (Pre-Console Mix)".
"The Komodo Bros. (Pre-Console Mix)" has been renamed to "The Komodo Brothers (Pre-Console Mix)".
UPDATE 2!:Thanks to the help of CabooseMiller101 and S.P.D. Gold Ranger, I was able to find out that the "Dr. Neo Cortex" track from Crash 3 actually has an entire instrument layer mute itself when the volume is turned up past 87%. Since both versions can be heard in the game, the first half of this track is the full version with all instrument layers at 87%, after which the track loops with the 100% volume version where the instrument track is missing.

UPDATE 1!: At the suggestion of 3DMan, I went in and recorded the five track variants exclusive to the Japanese version of the original Crash Bandicoot, which are new versions of "Tawna Bonus Round", "Koala Kong", "Pinstripe Pottoroo", "Dr. Nitrus Brio" and "Dr. Neo Cortex". These were recorded by playing the Japanese version of the game on ePSXe and recording the music via Stereo Mix, and as with the rest of Crash 1, these tracks are in mono.
The names for all of Josh Mancell's pre-console mixes and demos now have better capitalization, so for example "Tawna Bonus Round (pre-console mix)" is now "Tawna Bonus Round (Pre-Console Mix)".
I decided to move "Komodo Joe (Cut, Pre-Console Mix)" from Crash 2 to Crash 1, considering that it was composed for Crash Bandicoot and not Cortex Strikes Back.
"Coco Bandicoot (pre-console mix)" has been renamed to "Coco Hologram (Pre-Console Mix)".
There is now a numerical space between "Tournament Winner" and "Credits" in Crash Bash to open a slot for the "Uka Uka Banished" cutscene track.
Track List:
If a track is listed in red, that means that the track isn't in the Soundtrack, but has a spot open for it if I figure out how to rip cutscene music.

Process of making it within:
In all games the majority of the music has been taken from .psf rips available from http://psf.joshw.info/. While the creator of the Crash Bandicoot rip is unknown, the Crash 2, 3 and CTR rips were done by Matrixz in 2006, and the Crash Bash rip was done by manako of the demo version (which conveniently had all the tracks found in the full version). The .psfs were converted to .wav by foobar2000, edited in Sony Vegas and output into .flac, and were then converted to .mp3 by foobar. As well, all of the tracks are appropriately named (so "Snow Go - Death Trap" rather than "Ice (Special)") and ordered to match playing through the games (so the Death Trap tracks tend to appear later than their debut level theme tracks).

All Crash 1 tracks are in mono, with the exception of its only stereo track, "The Great Gate". The Crash 1 portion also contains the five tracks composed exclusively for the Japanese version of the game.

Several tracks were missing from the provided rips, but were able to be manually recorded from the games by playing them on a PS2 with the SFX turned to 0% and recorded via an optical cable. The exception is "Scrapbook", which was recorded via an emulator for the extended NTSC version, and edited so that the "Gem Stone Valley" music for the CTR portion only plays once instead of thrice.

The recorded tracks include:

N. Sanity Beach
Into the Jungle
Aku Aku Invincibility (Crash 1)
Tawna Bonus Round (Japanese Version)
Koala Kong (Japanese Version)
Pinstripe Pottoroo (Japanese Version)
Dr. Nitrus Brio (Japanese Version)
Dr. Neo Cortex (Japanese Version)
Aku Aku Invincibility (Crash 2/3)
Race Begin
Loser
Winner
Bandicoot Victory
Doctor Victory
Beast Victory
Kawaii Victory
Bounce Victory
Suave Victory
Scrapbook
Battle Winner
As well, "Dr. Neo Cortex" from Crash 3 is half a .psf rip and half a recording. This is because at 88% volume and above, one of the instrument layers for this track is muted. Since both versions can be heard in the game, the first half of this track is the full version at 87% with all instrument layers, after which the track loops with the 100% volume .psf version.

Several tracks however could not be recorded as almost all of them are part of cutscenes and were not included in the rips (although the track numbering intentionally has gaps in them so that the tracks can be added at a later date). These tracks are:

Cortex Hologram
Brio Hologram
Coco Hologram
Uka Uka Confrontation
Aku Aku Exposition
Final Lap

Let the Games Begin
Pre-Boss Pep Talk
Uka Uka Banished
As a final extra bonus, the pre-console mixes and demo tracks released by Josh Mancell on his Soundcloud are also included, and such that, if you wish, they'll be placed immediately after their equivalent tracks. The pre-console mixes are the versions made before the audio was mixed to what the PS1 was capable of, and several of them can be heard in CTR�s "Scrapbook" track.
Want something from the PS4 generation? Check out my Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Complete Soundtrack (Thread 217667)!

I'm liking what I see, but there's three things I'd like to bring up.

-There's no loop for the music?
-Is this only MP3? No FLAC version at all?
-Crash Bandicoot (1996) is missing those exclusive Japanese Version tunes.

I'm liking what I see, but there's three things I'd like to bring up.
I welcome critique! Pokes holes in my work and I get to explain my methodology.


-There's no loop for the music?
No, I generally don't like that sort of thing as it takes up space I could use for something else, and only do it for the very short tracks that loop, like Crash Bash's Main Menu. Personally, if I want to listen to a track again I hit the Previous button.


-Is this only MP3? No FLAC version at all?
I do have a FLAC version (I exported to FLAC before using foobar to create the MP3s), but I wasn't sure if folks were interested considering that foobar can reduce the MIDI music of the games down to really tiny file sizes. Such that I wondered what the benefit was for Crash's music, considering it is so basic from an instrument sound-complexity perspective. And from personal preference again, I prefer MP3 because anything can play that format.


-Crash Bandicoot (1996) is missing those exclusive Japanese Version tunes.
I know! I have the Brio pre-console mix from Mancell's Soundcloud, but I don't know if there's a .psf rip of the Japanese version lying around.


:this: I'd love a complete FLAC version with all of this mixed in.
Well at the very least I do intend to do a revision of the Soundtrack with the Japanese Crash 1 tracks and the cutscene tracks from 3, CTR and Bash. I think I'll need to do that thing where you can grab music that's been "loaded in" via an emulator or something like that, but I have no idea how to do that sort of thing.

Hey guys! At the suggestion of 3DMan, I went in and recorded the five track variants exclusive to the Japanese version of the original Crash Bandicoot, including Tawna Bonus Round, Koala Kong, Pinstripe Pottoroo, Dr. Nitrus Brio and Dr. Neo Cortex. These were recorded by playing the Japanese version of the game on ePSXe and recording the music via Stereo Mix, and as with the rest of Crash 1, these tracks are in mono. As well, I decided to move the Komodo Joe pre-console mix track from Crash 2 to Crash 1, considering that it was composed for that game. Lastly, Coco Bandicoot (pre-console mix) is now Coco Hologram, and there is now a numerical space between Tournament Winner and Credits in Crash Bash to open a slot for Uka Uka Banished.

-There's no loop for the music?
Any thoughts about looping??
:chrishansen:

Thanks. In the Crash Bash music folder, I noticed that there are some missing tracks. And something is off with the Melt Panic tune.

Hmm, since there's demand for a FLAC version, maybe it's something I could do for that one?

There are gaps in all the Soundtracks except the original Crash to act as placeholders so that (hopefully, some day) I can put in the missing tracks. Almost all of them are cutscene tracks like Coco Hologram, although one is Final Lap from CTR which I didn't want to include because the normal track music cuts in too soon so the edit would have been really sloppy.

As for Melt Panic, is there any particular example you can point to as to what it's supposed to sound like? My suspicion is that there's a slight difference between the US and EU versions (the .psf files I used were from the EU versions).

In Melt Panic, the volume is inconsistent. It gets soft on some points.

Hmm, that's odd. I just played the track just now and I couldn't hear anything wrong with it.

If I recall Neo Cortex's theme in Warped has his theme from 2 but only if the audio is down to 70%

Just tried this, didn't work.

I think it should be 75%, because that's the default volume (I think) and when I left it at that level, the Cortex theme has the missing riffs.

I've played the game at 75% before and I've never noticed that. You sure it isn't because of mono/stereo options?

I don't know if it's my TV or what, but that's the only volume where I hear those missing riffs. I always have the game audio on stereo when I play the game, so... Like I said, that's just how it works for me. I don't know if it's the same for anyone else.

Okay, played though the track again and now I see what you mean. Looks like this is an error with the original .psf rip file I have of the track! I'm rather busy atm with work so I'll try and record a new version of it from the game itself on Christmas Eve tomorrow.

North American, so SCEA.

North American, so SCEA.
Heh, so I totally edited the post afterwards when I realized that you were in fact correct. For the record, I previously asked what region his game was, thinking that it was a regional difference.

As it turns out, what I think is happening here is that Matrixz, who did these rips in 2006, must have forgotten one of the instrument layers here, thus resulting in the missing "Crash 2" boss notes, since .psf ripping asks you to include all of the instrument layers individually to make it happen.

Doing the research by playing the game itself, I was actually able to hear the Cortex Theme riffs as high as 87%. At 89%, the notes are barely audible, and at 90%, they're muted. It isn't isolated either; I got this when playing it on PS3 emulation as well as on PS2. So the version that's in the soundtrack now up is the 87% volume music recorded from a PS2 that's been amped up to the same volume as the .psf rip, to retain volume consistency.

EDIT: And now it's uploaded! https://mega.nz/#!UIlG3R4b!NwdwPU4uIFK-yX3_rg1t1ZtsdraIe_9HKdVikP-f6Oc

Thank you!

Many thanks for this KBABZ :D

Looks like the file was taken down

Don't think so, it still works for me. I've done a lot of updating in the past few days with the soundtrack, so it's possible that the one you were downloading got replaced during the download.

Oh my bad didn't see the full soundtrack had been updated with the complete Cortex theme. Many thanks for this collection!

You're welcome! The newest version will also have the four new Pre-Console Mixes from Mancell's Soundcloud as well as some minor name changes (see the patch notes in the original post for details).

Oh, the nostalgia. Thanks a lot for this.

Okay, so, just got back on (Christmas and all), and saw this. Thank you for finally getting the Cortex track as we've always wanted it. REALLY appreciate it.

No problem! I really appreciate it myself, and am sorry you have to put up with my stubbornness about it earlier. Hopefully soon I'll be able to extract and record the cutscene tracks as well to make this 100% complete!

Of all the Crash Bandicoot music collections out there (there's a lot), this one is definitely the best.

All five games are at maximum quality, nothing suffers from static or reduced volume and probably the only thing this one has that none of the many hundred do, a full Crash 3 Cortex theme in all it's glory.

Thanks a bunch for this. I'll be looking out for the cutscene music once it's be ripped.

Also, there are 2 more tracks from CTR that have been missed:
- The Podium music used for Ripper Roo, Papu Papu & Penta Penguin
- The Podium music used for Komodo Joe & Pinstripe

Noticed while I was playing the game.

Huh, I didn't even realize that! I'll think about covering them over the weekend, thanks for pointing them out.

Unfortunately it doesn't look like I'll be able to do the cutscene music anytime soon, as it'll require me to learn extraction skills that I just don't have to time to learn right now.

Thanks

Not only this is the first decent Crash 3 rip I've ever seen, it's also an awesome one.
This franchise deserved a rip like this as much as it deserved the upcoming N.Sane Trilogy. Thank you.

Thanks!

No problem.

And take as much time as you need for the cutscene music. I'd rather you learn the necessary skills first, rather than have the music be riddled with SFX and muted voices that would still drown out the music.

Nice! Thank you very much for sharing this music in such great quality. This will certainly tempt our pallets for the N-Sane Trilogy.

As for the cutscene music, I would imagine that only by contacting Josh Mancell or Steve Duckworth would we be able to hear them unfettered with faint sounds or voices. It's too bad; I like the cutscene music all throughout the Crash series. Still, it is what it is. This has been a lot of hard work for you and it is definitely appreciated.

I just remembered, Crash Team Racing also seems to have tracks exclusive to the japanese version.
Well, at least the japanese menu theme is different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KklNW8sD0I0
Also, the japanese Crash Bash version has a Can Can Dance remix for it's Dot Dash theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_SQLrwW9qw

Huh, interesting! I was curious about this, I think I'll go back and manually play them on an emulator to fully cross-check any Japanese tracks (that is, 2, 3, CTR and Bash). At some point, I am busy with other things atm.

A+ for quality and organization! Do release a FLAC version if you can though.

Hey guys! Thought you'd might like to know that, yes, I will be doing a Soundtrack for the N. Sane Trilogy (after I beat it, of course). I'll probably make a new thread for it, but I figured you'd want to know!

In other news, the Soundtrack now contains the Pre-Console Mixes for Toxic Waste and Bear It!

Oops, adding that to the update notes and stuff now!

Hey KBABZ, thanks for the collection, I was wondering why there are certain gaps between track numbers? Like in CB3 Warped? Are you missing tracks from all the games?

Yeah, those would be the cutscene tracks. Apparently it's possible to extract them somehow, but I have no idea how to do that.

Great collection here. I'm glad this updated just in time for the N. Sane Trilogy and all the nostalgia that came with it.

Yep. Often the names were bad (like "Ice (Bonus)"), the audio quality would vary greatly, one Soundtrack I found of Crash 2 cut the first half-second off, another had instruments missing from the Toad Village Bonus Round music, etc...

Hey guys! I've just done a minor but significant update to the Soundtrack! I was able to find the original images used for the covers for Crash 3 and CTR, as well as the key art for Crash 1 (which is very similar to the cover art) and a great version of the Crash 2 cover. I've used them to craft brand new covers that are as good as they can be (no off-colour cover scans!). In addition to that however I found the images used for the individual N. Sane versions of each game, all three based on the covers. I composited and cropped both covers so that they match each other!

Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

http://i.imgur.com/JJwsB6s.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/fVWLtJT.jpg



The updated version of the FLAC and MP3 soundtracks are still being uploaded, but for those of you who are already up to date (which you should be if you have the Tomb Time and Bear It Pre-Console Mixes), here are the images for you to apply yourselves!

It goes without saying that Bash's album art remains the same, but that one was pretty good anyway.

I'm wondering whats track number 3 in Crash 2?

That's the placeholder for the Cortex Hologram music. Haven't figured out how to extract the music yet so that's why that's there.

Crash Bash music is missing some Japanese exclusive track btw, but great work anyway!

Yup, I do plan to cover that in the future! Maybe once I'm done with the N. Sane Trilogy.

You're doing N. Sane Trilogy? Nice! Can't wait for it.

Yeah! There's an official but incomplete Soundtrack up on Spotify, which I'll utilize since it has clean intros for some Bonus Rounds and Gem path tracks because those have fade ins.

Any chance you could also throw in the remastared noises and sound effects like Aku Aku's apperance from the box?

Well I'm doing a recording, not a rip (those aren't possible yet for PS4 games). What are you looking for?

The noise crash makes when he takes damage and loses Aku Aku,
His trademark "Whoa!" and Coco's as well are just a couple to name....
Also Pinstripe Potoroo's laugh when he's shooting his tommy gun in the opeing scene for his boss battle

Do you want to use these for a project? This is more than I was intending to do is all.

Yes please. Finding people who upload voice rips has become quite difficult overtime lol...[COLOR="Silver"]

I didn't do the rips themselves though, I just did some work on them so that they were presentable.

Oh, you don't have to go the extra mile if that's the case, I would gladly take them in any version of MP3 format if that's alright.

Well as I said earlier, grabbing every sound effect is a hell of a lot of work. If it's for a project, I'd prefer if you gave me a list of the ones you needed.

thank you very much

Just those one's (sorry didn't have internet for abit) If it's easier to just throw all the sound effects into a big pile I'd glady go through it myself to save you time!

What's the music in Crash 3 where Uka Uka and Cortex are talking in the intro cutscene??

It's not yet ripped.

Apparently the cutscene music across all the PS1 games is rippable, but nobody anywhere has managed to figure out how to do it.

Hopefully it gets ripped it sounds pretty awesome

Bloody brilliant. Thank you KBABZ. Nice to see you've been hanging around the forums for 10 years!

Fantastic work! Thank you for the BIG effort!

Thanks a bunch.

I was not aware of just how much the samples were compressed for Crash 1, but I guess Naughty Dog HAD to make some mistakes early on in SOME area (they were one of the few developers to deliver PAL ports that ran at same speed, so nearly flawless).

Also, there was 0 need to include the pre-console mixes, since one can just download them independently, with this site:
https://scdownloader.net/
(although I am not sure it allows for downloads of other, lossless formats people sometimes upload there)

I decided to include the pre-console mixes for two reasons. First, preservation; there's no guarantee that Josh will keep them up forever, and they're an important part of Crash history. The second is presentation; in this OST you get proper tags and album art, and the tracks are numbered such that if you drop them into their original folders, they'll appear right after the track from the final game, which is handy if you want to have a comparison, or replace the original with the pre-console mix outright.

Thank you so much!!!

Any chance you can separate these into individual files, one for each game and one for the pre-console version?

Just in case one of them gets an update, we don't have to re-download the whole thing to get the 1-3 tracks added in to a specific game.

Thanks a lot!

Isn't that just his boss theme or a shortened version of it? Great collection by the way.

Fantanastic collection! Thanks so much for doing this!

I was just wondering if you could do the Wrath of Cortex soundtrack in high-quality FLAC too?
I'm a big fan of that music and I can't find FLAC anywhere of it :/

In the original PS1 game, it's the exact same as his boss theme. In the N. Sane Trilogy, the hologram version of the song is missing a bunch of instruments on purpose to make it sound more ambient, but that version of the song is also in the game files separately, as the recent rip showed. Hope this helps!

By the way... Mancell's got music that you haven't got in your collection - Pre-Console Mixes for Generator Room, Hang Eight and some CTR tracks have been out for a while now. :)

Yeah I noticed that. They're sorted and ready to go, but I'll do an official upload when I get around to recording the Japanese-exclusive tracks in Crash 2, 3, CTR and Bash.

...whenever that is.

lol! Alright eagerly awaiting those and hopefully Mancell uploads more goodies in the meantime :)

Wow, even the Japanese-exclusive tracks? That sounds like a good idea, I haven't heard any of them in good quality.

Is it possible that you could do a high-quality FLAC rip of Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex? It's never been done to my knowledge and I think the music is just as strong as the originals.
