It's pretty quiet, but it's there.

I forgot about this one, nice find.

Edit: It's very lightly in Sunny Flight at 1:07

Also, Paranoia, you can find the ost of the first four games on the internet, with enough searching. Not sure where, but I could look them up and link you to them if you'd like.

Oh, I'm aware of that. Thanks though. It's just more fun to play through the games again. Don't think I've played 2 or 3 in about a year.

It doesn't just go Spyro 2, Even the next generation, Enter the Dragonfly has this exact same Recapitulation in a track or two.
It exists in the Credits music at 0:38

Woah! That's awesome!

well, yeah, they are, but downloading over 100 songs from youtube would be really tedious.

every song from the games should be on YouTube.

You know, if I had the time, I'd find them all. I'm excellent with music, especially Spyro. The Spyro series has my favorite videogame soundtrack of all time. For now, I'll tell you that even Spyro 2 has a few parts of this in the music.

The easiest one to spot is in the "Trolley Trouble" at 1:01.

There's probably a few more in the later games too.

Sorry for the double post, but I found another one! This one's quite obvious. I'm not sure why I didn't discover it sooner. Lol.

Here it is in Dark Passage at 0:41

Yep. I can't believe it took me so long to notice it. I've always loved the music and listen to it by itself often, but I first noticed it in the Beast Maker's theme not long ago.

Next time I get the chance to play StD again, I'm going to turn off the sound effects and listen carefully for any more examples.

so that's the word for it. i've noticed certain bands seem to have a certain melody that appears in a lot of their songs (can't think of any examples right now). i never noticed that it's in Spyro too, that's cool.

and i would never have noticed. nice find

I always loved that about this soundtrack. I think the recapitulation really helps bring the worlds together into one really cohesive experience. Even though each level is separated by a portal, they always fit into their respective homeworld biome, and each homeworld had its own specific sound--all held together by the musical similarities. You can hear it in the bass lines too.

I love this game.
