Donkey Kong 64 - Crystal Caves (Alternate Version)

Figured since nobody posted this alternate track yet from the soundtrack CD, I may as well be the one to do it now that it's garnered some popularity upon its rediscovery!
Difference is at 1:38 where instead of using a pan flute track for the main rhythm, it uses a slapaphone.

Amazing how there are more mysteries to discover in old games than the ones we have nowadays

According to a comment by Grant Kirkhope, he changed it for the final release, but forgot to switch the midi instruments for when the OST was recorded.

Anyone else here because of Colorful Arty's video?

Seriously, I probably would never have known about this version of the song until seeing his video. Thank you, Colorful Arty!

Yeah. I watched the full video

I always found all the other songs from Crystal Caves strange because I always felt like something was missing. That's why I never liked it. Every time I played the game I thought it was good because it had the ending with the banjo. Absurd, but I still thank the guy for revealing it. :) ua-cam.com/video/PWQ98Kx3h0s/v-deo.html

Thank you for this post and its informative description. I was interested about this, but not interested in listening to a man who wastes half an hour to get to the point.
