Hi Guys, I absolutely love this, thank you so much. We are just putting our new show together for the 2014 world David Wise rock tour. I have gone full IRON MAIDEN with the drums on Gang Plank Galleon. Best wishes, Nige (David Wise's drummer)
Unfortunately, for a movie, they'd use generic original music or existing mainstream tracks that don't really fit but appeal to TikTok users. I'd love a Mario film with Galaxy style music or a DK film with this soundtrack :)
Honestly exceptional from start to finish. I over-enjoyed it a lot. Still sad for all the souls that won't listen to this since you are unjustly overshadowed by others on this vast platform. I did cry for Forest Interlude, which proves just how good it was. Thank you for your amazing contribution to musical prowess.
What I'd do for extended versions of your take of aquatic ambiance, stickerbush symphony, forest interlude, life in the mines, and fear factory... Man... You're seriously talented at recreating and capturing the essence and emotion of each track. Hope to see more work from you! 🤘
@@DarkGruntMusicYes! Please! You'll make the world a better place! haha. stickerbush symphony is brillant. The best version of all the many I had listen to. Thanks!
8:56 = Bonus Room Blitz (my favorite song in DKC and one of the top five songs in my video game history) 26:54 = Gang Plank Galleon (what an amazing boss battle song!!!)
This album is truly a masterpiece. Excellent work, you have given DKC and music fans something to enjoy for years and years to come! The fullness of each of these songs while still capturing that exact same atmosphere that the original SNES sound track did almost leaves me speechless.
There's so much variety and such a sense of greatness in the Donkey Kong Country soundtracks. The brief moment in the Super Mario Bros movie when Mario, Peach and Toad approach the gate to the Jungle Kingdom and we hear that little orchestrated bit of DK Island Swing sent chills through me. A Donkey Kong Country movie has been a dream of mine since I was 6 years old. To hear that music with a big orchestrated movie score would be so euphoric.
I have been waiting for someone to create something like this practically my whole life since I played these games on a tiny TV. Fantastic job! Jib Jig was always my favorite song and I would sing it out loud all the time. I always wondered if anyone would ever make an epic cover one day...Thank you! :)
I'm glad you like the project! I tried to reduce them, but I'm also inviting you to get the whole project on Bandcamp if the ads are getting too annoying, you can even get it for free! It's also available on music streaming services :D
Hey! So I am a middle school teacher and I like to use this video has my background music for tests. This is extremely well done. Just wanted to say thank you for all the hard work you put into this!
Think I can count on one hand how often I have ever left comments on RU-vid. These are some of the best versions of these songs I have ever heard (especially Simian Segue and Forest Frenzy), and I have heard these sounds thousands of times in my life. You make some amazing music.
If Donkey Kong ever gets his movie, this is the music that should be used. No new written songs, just the original game music in this Orchestrated version
This is legitimately the best Donkey Kong material I’ve ever seen in my life. You, my good friend, have truly gave a performance like no other! You have my applause!!!
I really hope you decide to upload some of the best songs individually. You really deserve to have more exposure. All of DKC2 was immaculate. Forest Interlude, Stickerbush Symphony, Disco Train, Jib Jig, all of it was fantastic.
I've listened to countless versions of this amazing soundtrack, even other orchestrated ones, but it's safe to say that this here is the pinnacle of sound quality. This is the version I'll show to my kids. Congratulations on the superb job.
Really excellent sound. Bravo. Quick shout out to Eveline Novakovik (née Fischer) for her compositions, “Simian Segue,” “Forest Frenzy,” “Northern Hemispheres,” and “Ice Cave Chant.” David Wise is the GOAT, but let’s not forget the lovely voice behind Joanna Dark and Krystal, either!
AH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, I've been waiting so long for this! I swear every time I listen to one of your orchestral arrangements, they get better and better
Emotions. I have chills from my back to my arms. I love the orginal DKC OSTs, remixes of these games musics follow me, from workout to speedruns, they go along with everything. Thanks a lot for this, your music will follow me too now! Wish you the best!
Got to this via my RU-vid Recommends and I have to say INCREDIBLE. Your rendition of Aquatic Ambience was STELLAR!! Once I heard that song I knew I was in for an amazing musical journey. This was beyond my expectations. Excellent work!! Please keep up the great work!
I am beyond impressed by this. What a mammoth task this probably was, and it payed off so well. Loving every second of it so far, to the point that it's making me emotional and want a Donkey Kong Country movie with this music in it. Very well done, I can't wait to see what else you do in the future.
Phenomenal. DKC2 is one of the three golden games of my childhood. And DKC1 is not far from it either... You did incredibly well. I would have loved if all the osts were there as i'm sure you would have been as amazing on those as you were on the ones in the video. But the work here is truly amazing and that's already more than one can ask. So, no complain.
This... was amazing. Everything I didn't know I needed. These were my favorite soundtracks of the whole DK game series, and to have them come to life like this was epic. Thank you for blessing me with this part of my childhood.
I've had this on repeat for the past few days, truly incredible work! I've found that Life in the Mines and Northern Hemispheres (my two favorite tracks from the DKC1 OST) tend to get overlooked when it comes to rearrangements so to hear absolutely amazing versions of them in this really made me happy.
First few songs: lol funny monkey music Aquatic ambiance and forward: an epic RPG adventure game where you fight monsters and feel you are inside a real life DnD game.
Always knew these soundtracks were masterpieces, this just confirms it. Stunning renditions! Huge kudos for putting these together, they are equally masterful ...!!
【Shades Finnish Pirates】Pretty epic sound for a DK game, not diminishing the glory of DK but still this sounds great i get goosepumps and i think this is how the tracks should sound at our current day & age. This really shows that as the melody is great, you can turn it to epic remixes and i think these tracks would be fit for a DK Movie (DK just appeared in the Super Mario Bro's Movie). I've returned to DK soundtracks for the great tunes & the nostalogia,this sound is something new and i am enjoying it immensively. These tracks capture the spirit of DK, also the pirate theme that is ongoing on the 1-2 games and i actually feel like these could be great "Shanties" :D
Damn, the ending of Mining Melancholy was so beautiful that it brought me to tears. I guess the nostalgia just swept me away. Stickerbrush Symphony being next did not help. I’m crying at how beautiful it all is. Awesome job! I love it! Edit: I knew something was missing. Why no Bayou Boogie?
This is incredible work being done here. The arrangements are very successful and bring a breath of fresh air to these cult themes. I think David Wise would be happy to hear this masterful orchestration. An hour of happiness! Thank you so much !
God damn. Krook’s March gives me goosebumps. In a Snow Bound Land made my daughter cry. So awesome to see these bangers from my childhood elevated to this level!
This is exceptional! I'm beyond amazed at how you managed to recreate such an iconic childhood pastime of mine in an epic way. You kept the vibes and feels but added more dynamics as I would imagine they originally intended but couldn't with their 16 bit restriction! I'm in awe and can't wait to hear what else you orchestrate, master!! 👏
I just absolutely love this. Congrats to Simon Bergeron on these arrangements...truly spectacular! The music was already great, but you really make it shine.
I honestly put this, along with Ocarina of Time's prog rock album, as my top favorite & most amazing musical achievements made by fans of a franchise. I'm beyond impressed, I'm astonished, congratulations my guy! Cheers from Brazil.
Holy HECK this SLAPS! The intro gave me chills, I can't describe how amazing the swelling music feels for the title theme. I wish I had 10 thumbs ups to give this video, but I've shared it with as many people as I can!
