I'm most familiar with the PC soundtrack but I've downloaded the RayTunes playlist and really enjoy a couple of the Revolution ones as well (e.g. The Paratroopers with that synthy running goodness is straight up fire).

Revolution has many bad things, but the soundtrack is very cool! That track of the minisaurus plains is very relaxing... :D

Revolution’s commonly debated about a lot of things but all that we can agree on is that it’s music slams

I've always been a fanatic for the added music in Revolution! Tracks like the Teensie Circle just feels so enchanting and relaxing! I always feel like I'm transported to another, magical world! :nostalgic:

Too bad Revolution features the removal of the unique pirate theme in The Lost Island. I quite liked that theme which the PC and DC and even N64 had.

Rayman 2's soundtrack is one of the all-time greats, and how it's used is genius as well.

Somewhere during development there was someone who decided that instead of continuing the previous action track, they needed a separate track for the Precipice for that long fall section:

I hope that person got a raise right then and there.

And it's crazy to think that some of the tracks are just samples!
The Precipice has always been one of the levels that had the best music imo, and that track is a proof of that :mrgreen:

Now that you mention it, wasn't it in Iron Mountains too, when you're going toward the balloon? It guess it fits because it's also a descent, but clearly it was originally intended for the Precipice :P

Yes it does! I always feel a rush whenever I reach those areas because of the music. Really does give a good impression of me falling.

I consider myself a fan of the music for the Rayman Revolution trailer:

It’s extra wrong how the globox baby is clearly a minor :waaahhh: anyway it probably tricked many players into thinking it would’ve been a bit more spicy game :lol:

He's a literal baby :boon: The french are something else....

Also, why "four" specifically? Am I missing something? :confus:
