You can definitely hear a lot of The Longest Shortcut's samples in the first 30 seconds or so, but the library also contains various samples used in Rayman 2 as well.
Just thought I'd share, i find these kinds of things very interesting!
Spectrasonics's Distorted Reality and Distorted Reality 2 Darkness & Light are respectively two FX and Ambient CD/Albums both released in 1996, surely Ubisoft's developers have taken some inspiration from that.
Also the first 16 seconds of Rayman 2's The Tomb Of The Ancients OST:

Although in that level Rayman 2 taken objectively inspiration from A Saucerful Of Secrets (from the 1968's namesake Album) by Pink Floyd:

What about, Rayman is a really different, strange, deep, dark, passional and complicated game! : )
