In secondary school music class in about 1996 we had to compose something on the piano. I 'composed' this and got a lot of praise from the teacher. I have never felt anything but proud of my great taste.
This theme is a whole Journey into the value of work and sacrifice. 0:00 Intro, you get to know how busy life in mines is. (Just a few sounds with some simple, almost non-existent chord progression) 0:26 You feel how sacrificed it is, how sad is to be far away from family and friends (Melody here introduces the "story", the chord progression changes into a diminished one) 0:54 This is the uncertainty of the future and destiny. (No chord progression) 1:01 Expectations from your sacrifices when you see yourself progressing or some changes (no chord progression and a pedal double quaver) 1:11 (My favourite Chris progression) You ascend into glory. (Very bright chord progression and the quaver motif gets to "move" from its pedal alongside with the progression) 1:24 The same melody from the beggining repeats, but now it feels so powerful, and all the sacrifices worth it (the same melody with the bright chord progression and the quaver motif following) 1:55 Fade out and waking up to reality. (No chord progression and instruments slowly disappearing) Finally you know that sacrifice will always worth it for your dreams. This is just genius!
Esta canción empieza algo lenta y no la valoraba en su momento pero ahora que me dediqué a escucharla por completo se convirtió en una de mis favoritas del juego
Yo desde que la escuche por primera vez, la asocio cuando hay dias que hace poco calor y el cielo esta azul, lejos de donde vivo alguien esta quemando hojarasca y leña seca, todo eso se junta y me da una sensación de bienestar.
OH I just realised you're going through all the levels with this music in them, in the video, I think! That's clever! ^^ Thanks for the restored and extended tracks~!
this was the point in playing through the game where i paused for a second and said to myself "holy shit, this could be INCREDIBLE in high fidelity!" and proceeded to grab my favorite headphones. Thank you, Sam Miller.
Am astonished how we did missed sooo much from the real thing. Just when you throught that you heard those songs from the original source and that they couldn’t be any better. (also since nintendo claimed that the snes could do “super digital stereo sound just as crystall clear as a CD) but then once you read about the true technical specs of the snes and how much trade offs are required to get those sounds from a keyboard or microphone into the snes, then you realize ghat you were actually fooled by nintendo itself with such bullclaims.
🎶dont give up, dont give up, dont give up,dont give up, dont give up, dont give up.... today... don't give up, dont give up,dont give up, dont give up,dont give up you're almost there , you're there!!!🎶 .Keep going.
Always thought this level was an abandoned circus with all those leftover trapezes, & then the midway star barrel with colorful stars once you hit it helped.
I love how this song is used throughout the game. In world 2 it involves a sense of mystery and adventure but takes a backseat at the end of world 3 to insinuate that the game is no longer gonna hold punches. For the entirety of worlds 4 and 5 the music and atmosphere make you feel hopeless, but at the last level of world 5 this plays involving hope. This is the most used song in the the final world. I think This is because the song changes in meaning. instead of mystery the melody at 0:26 now drives you to make the final push in you journey after going through so much turbulence. in my opinion best song in dkc. So few soundtracks can involve perfectly the different emotions the player is feeling on their journey.
God I wish this game would get an HD Remake. Not in a different artstyle, but the same 3D models and animation rendered with more frames, higher resolution and a full color range. That would be so neat to see.
Released on the switch as well so a new generation can experience the games as well, They should probably just remaster all donkey kong games from the 90s Donkey kong country Donkey kong country 2 Donkey kong country 3 Donkey kong 64
Ah memories donkey kong country series character and story late 90s 26 year later ago we got 3 donkey kong games UK famicom SNES USA so childhood most perfection rareware and nintendo series and soundtrack CD music thank you my honor.
I fondly remember playing Donkey Kong Country and I still play it for old times sake on a ZSNES emulator. Lately however, whenever I play a level with this music, usually the ones when you wait on a floating platform, I repeatedly tap down on the D-pad to make Donkey Kong do his smooth little crouch animation and make it look like he's dancing to pass the time waiting on the platform. I call that "dance" the #DonkeyKrump. Any of you guys ever find yourself doing the #DonkeyKrump in this game?
ZSNES is no longer recommended. It was good for its time, but its numerous emulation and security flaws make it not suitable in the modern day. If you like its interface, use ZMZ.
Am I right understanding it as "the same songscript as in the game, the same synth than David Wise sampled, but now played directly by the synths, no SNES artifacts in the mix" ?
@@Dacstunes I have, but to me, I just love the nostalgia I got from playing them from my childhood. I especially love DKC2 not just for the score and darker theme, but because it was literally one of my most favorite games I had on SNES. Top 3 if I'm honest. In case you're curious, Super Mario World and Star Fox are my other picks.
Qué tipo de música sería esta? Synthwave? / Synthpop? He jugado esto en los 90's, y luego le enseñé esto a mi hermana menor años después. Además, de los gráficos siempre me gustó y me llamó la atención el tipo de música. El sountrack del mar y el de las espinas y la abeja en el DK 2 son las que más me gustan. Siempre tuve esa tendencia por la música electrónica, aunque nunca supe bien su nombre dentro de los géneros musicales por mucho tiempo
La mejor de musica no puede ser definido por tipos, pero esto es similar a la musica de la peliculas del 1990s, y la bateria y bajo es similar a heavy metal balado ruclips.net/video/rFbMZmXeaLM/видео.html ruclips.net/video/NvDpVCubxI0/видео.html The best music cannot be defined by genres, but it's similar to film score in the 90s, and the drums and bass are similar to a heavy metal ballad
can anyone explain to me how restoring works? is it different than extracting the music from a rom or something? How do you know what notes to use, unless it is all playing by ear and just improving the quality further? thank you.

David Wise is definitely a musical genius.
Umm... Yes?
And Sam is restoring his glory!
Don't get me wrong, I love the soundtracks of these three games.
But how the heck did they decide on this for "Donkey Kong"
You could say he was *WISE*
@@LomographyTromography TRIGGERED
One of the very best songs of all the times in videogames.
Ikr? This feels so damn alive, like too good for this world...
30 years later... still the best 2D platformer ever.
I think Wario Land 4 is slightly above DKC, but this one's amazing.
@@radicalbatical ok im interested :) what was that on? as never herd of it :(
@@Bakersvill Wario Land 4? It's a GBA game.
jj2 and CLAW are also good candidates
@@k4qdex jj2?
a song that conveys fear and hope at the same time
He Pretty much conveyed the feeling miners had working in the mines

You're the reason curtains can't just be fkn blue
My brain turned into diddy rolling on _that_ speedrun right now.
woah! got goose bumps while listening and reading your comment. Nice explained
Ah yes, Chris
Nicee !!
i cant believe this music is coming from a 16-bit console. i love it
The system has a custom Sony audio chip of some kind in it
I love it when this music gives me memories I never had, like in a past life
“Donkey kong holds a barrel in the darkness”
Oh Jesus Christ, remember the beauty 90s with the SNES!!! 😔😭❤️
Never realized how hard this theme goes...
That snare drum is so good!
Love these flutes, such a beautiful instrument
Mining Melancholy is my favorite mine theme but this one is amazing too

That music is so 90's!
The music of DKC made you want to inhabit this world.
Amo essa música, não sei quantas vezes já dei play aqui.
Well done! Been waiting for this one!
I'm telling you, this song, warm light and hot water will dramatically change your shower experience into something so relaxing.
Good job Sam, keep it up dude!!!
SIN DUDA UN GRAN TRABAJO !!
you know you're a legend, riiiight? c: ♥
So much atmosphere it’s beautiful especially 1:07 ❤

5:21-5:22
Yeesh! You just reminded me why I had so much trouble on that part.
9:20
How you somehow managed to not hit the Gnawty - and eventually got hit by it - is borderline impressive haha
And somehow not get the star barrel
The smaller bleeps went totally unnoticed for me until now.
Am astonished how we did missed sooo much from the real thing.

Eu pausava o jogo só pra escutar a música! 🙂❤
🎶Donkey Kongaaa🎶
🎶For da Wiiii🎶
I just had a PTSD flashback to Tanked Up Trouble.
🎶dont give up, dont give up, dont give up,dont give up, dont give up, dont give up.... today... don't give up, dont give up,dont give up, dont give up,dont give up you're almost there , you're there!!!🎶
.Keep going.
i see it
Those lyrics are badly needed in Tanked Up Trouble and Platform Perils levels!
Always thought this level was an abandoned circus with all those leftover trapezes, & then the midway star barrel with colorful stars once you hit it helped.
My God, the nostalgia is so real with this song. It's unfortunate that it only played in crappy levels.

Donkey kong country
Donkey kong country 2
Donkey kong country 3
Donkey kong 64
I love that bit at 1:00
Also, this OST was repurposed as factory music in DKCR
1:57 oof, game was like "Nah, bro. Eat a rock."
Ah memories donkey kong country series character and story late 90s 26 year later ago we got 3 donkey kong games UK famicom SNES USA so childhood most perfection rareware and nintendo series and soundtrack CD music thank you my honor.
Can someone tell me what instrument makes the sound at 1:01 ..I love that sound favorite part of the song
The scrapey one? Most like a guiro.
The one making the scale up is a syhtn
@@ndr_32 Most likely a Roland like the S770 and R8.
Mayonnaise
It's a synth bass patch made using what's called "oscillator sync"

Estes soundtrack en mi infancia 😍😍
Good Work!
Gosto de mais dessa musiquinha aí em afff top de mais em e eu tbm joguei muito esse jogo aí em afff minha infância
First world of LV 2 the kid's gloves are off now!
Last level of the game Thank you for this journey FAREWELL!
Adoro éste tema, uno de los mejores en la saga, es un lindo recuerdo, muchas gracias ❤
Minha favorita !
Almost sounds like the Returns version at the beginning but still way better lol
I think this one is better restored
agreed its so incredible
this it.. the final level before you face King K. Rool... you made this far.. you can't fk this up...
giant squirrel in the mines. WATCH OUT!
0:26: STOP POSTIIIING- STOP POSTIIING-
Very relaxing
The music reminds me of taking a drive through gorman california on a foggy night
At 1:10 Best Part Of The Song!
Howcome that frog is the only one that can step on those zingers (bees)?
Geez it's so fucking good
Época boa... 😥
O tempo é um baguio Loko demais 😖
If the SNES-CD was a thing, this would have worked on a version of DKC for it.
I remember the first time i've tried DKC...... It's my only one cartidge on my desk,.... i'll buy a snes again ?
I would love to hear Enchanted Riverbank from DKC3, please!
Muito bom top e sensacional
When the drums and the bass kick in, it almost sounds like a song I've heard before. A woman sung it.
I would love too see the real graphics of the game used instead or what they had to cutout to run final version on snes :)
........ I miss the classics, the Return game does a great job, but it's the originals that really make an impact on video game music
Have you tried Tropical Freeze yet? That games score is composed by the same guy who did the 90s dk games. Highly recommend it.

How can one achieve this exact look on an emulator?
Retroarch and modify any of the scanline filters available
Can you do a 100 hour super extended remix please

Can you press a vinyl album
I might be talking with a label now to get one pressed ;)

He made videos of the restoring process, maybe looking at them is what you need
Pestlings run a muck
im really anal about remakes sound exact but the alternative sound you used actually sound better on this remaster imo.
@@rmejc im well aware of that. but i know how it sounds and i know some of these sounds are slightly different sounding
How does the game look so good?
They animated everything in 3D software, and then just took snapshots of it for the sprites in the game

any one else hear silver bells?
Does anyone know where I can find the FLAC files for the whole OST? Thanks!
Sounds like dkcr
