Hello people, new user here

This has probably been discussed at length at some point in the past, but I can't seem to find anything on the internet, other than your wiki, so I thoght I would start a thread to get some input.
I refer of course to this page, on your wiki: https://tcrf.net/Spyro_the_Dragon_%28PlayStation%29

When I read and listened to the European Differences section on the wikipage, I was sure I had heard some of the songs before, so I booted up my PS2 and went through the game (PAL edition). I first confirmed that the high caves music in the PAL version, is indeed unique, and I have been unable to find it anywhere outside the game. It is however, as noted on your wiki, very similar to the 3rd unused track in the "Unused" Music section.

I've always thought that the Dry Canyons theme sounded like it belongs in another of the realms (Magic Crafters, or Dream Weavers maybe); so I thought I would start there.

(1) When I got to the area shown below, the main Dry Canyon theme ended for the second time, and another began. Specifically the last (sixth) track under the European Differences section. I played it on my computer and matched up the songs to be sure. So of course the next logical step, is reproducing the result.

(2) Second time in the level I got to the same area again, but this time the main them had only looped once when I got there. This time it changed to the slow Beast Makers theme - The third track under European Differences.

(3) Third time, I decided to stand around at the start of the level, to test if it mattered where I stood. Nothing happened after 5 loops of the main theme, so I decided to go to the aforementioned area again, and sure enough, after waiting for the main theme to end there, the sixth song on the list played again.

This is what I've got so far. I will keep testing, but I felt like I needed other people's input on this. the end goal is of course to write something about it on the wiki Any thoughts? Anything specific you want me to try?

I've gotten that music in dry canyon too before, and I wasn't on that spot before, so im sure the place has nothing to do there.
One of the rumor I have heard is that music plays on Dream Weavers in the Japanese version of the game if you wait long enough.

I wonder if someone has poked the music files on the Japanese version.
