Donkey Kong Country 2 - Mining Melancholy 80s Retrowave 

i'm pretty much preserving the original notes and structure, to not change the whole feeling..

Thank you, ​@juunjuubei Too many remixes lose the soul of the original, yours are perfect.

​@@StriderZesseii think many people just pick out the melody and the chords and don't actually rebuild it first.. there are many background elements i love about this soundtrack and they really need to be there :D

thanks! i'm pretty much focussing to not overdo such things 😅

thanks! i always try to preserve every note from the original, as far as i can listen it out..

haha, thanks! but it's more like a gag and less about true aesthetics 😉

thanks! but uuuhh don't say something like that.. the original feeling of this music is it, that drives people like me to do such things😱

@juunjuubei The original feeling is great, but you've turned it from melancholy to cautious, thoughtful optimism... which is very '80s indeed! Changing genres sometimes does amazing things for songs. Anyway, I enjoyed the whole set of these, but this one stood out to me as a winner.

@@MADGator and i thought it's the one that turned out worse 😝

eey thanks! sadly there aren't many tracks left 🙃

@@juunjuubei You might be right, at least for things that fit 80's Synthwave xD Might you consider trying something like Banjo Kazooie/Tooie? Or Goldeneye 64?

@@armyantsrule 😂 i looove banjo kazooie/tooie! one of my first uploads (the crazily carved cavern) was in the style of grant kirkhope. but i think this music would be too quirky for synthwave feelings, but maybe worth an experiment.. 🤔

happy to hear this lol and funny how i always think i missed on this one 🥴

haha! make a startup and i'll give you permission to use it (as far as i can 🫤😅)

thank you! i felt that nobody was asking for this kind of combination, but i planned to do 6 in total. now i'm nearly done with the 6th (forest interlude) and i planned 2 more 🙃

You are doing an excellent work, dude! I'll stay tuned.

cool! thanks for the support! please spread it if you know other DK fans with a heart for 80s nostalgia, so i can reach more people 🙌

@@juunjuubei David Wise is a very talented composer. He made all the dkc's soundtracks. He is very proud of his own work cuz he made em with the heart. His best tracks are aquatic ambience, stickerbrush symphony, hot head bop, forest interlude, mechanical swamp, and many others. Check em all. Im sure there are a lot of songs that can fit with this 80s style. You'd do magic! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻👏🏻

haha indeed man! i know all 3 DKCs and i listened to their soundtracks 25 years now. you mean "bayou boogie", the swamp theme :D luckily it's one of the two planned, along with hot head bop. i know there are even more great tracks, but there are other great games too and i want to keep doing orchestral stuff as well 😁

🤣 thanks for hyping it so much! let's hope your engagement helps to spread it 🙌

lol i linked the playlist. i did 8 in total and stickerbrush symphony is one of them 👍

well that one's actually very popular..

Not for us

One of the best song's by the rare team.

thanks 🙌

thanks :D

hey man! thanks for liking those tracks! i'm planning to hit spotify this year, but it takes some time because i'll need to do this with an official distributor..

thanks!

thanks!

thank you!

haha this is the worst one imo.. didn't quite catch the groove 😅

I think it's fine but I can also understand your perspective, maybe one day you can go back to this one and tweak it a little. With that said, do you plan on doing any of the other DK soundtracks like from DK1 and DK3 (on GameBoyAdvance) @@juunjuubei

thanks!

maybe it will be shown to more people once i drop the extended nonstop mix.. we'll see 🤷
