1994 feels like it was just yesterday and I was still learning how to play this game. This was one of my favorite tracks and replayed the levels just to hear the music.
It also gave me a huge respect for video game OST. They can be some of the best stuff out there. Undertale/Deltarune is worth checking out, it's a great OST.
@@LatinaCreamQueen I'm not a huge fan of the gameplay of Undertale, but it has one of my top 5 favorite game OSTs of all time. Highly recommend it to anyone who hasnt given it a listen.
I know I'm late to this conversation, but I was just saying the same thing to my wife. If it weren't for the Donkey Kong soundtrack I'm not sure I would have been a fan of synthpop music, like Covenant, Depeche Mode, Assemblage 23 and Hocico. Merry Christmas!
I made a comment not too long ago being the Rare/Nintendo Emplooyees saying "Mr David Wise, we need an underwater song for our Monkey game" "Make a timeless classic? Here I go!" Fun fact: Wise is from England, and so am I. I've not come across him in person though. I have met and talked to Dan Green, who does the Voice of Yami (Yu Gi Oh) and Knuckles (Sonic X version) though.
I dunno if it's in my top 5 of the series, but it's definitely my favourite theme of the first game. Both Blackout Basement and Oil Drum Alley are in my top 5 favourite stage of the game as well
sam, i just want to thank you because listening to these restorations is what made me want to play the original trilogy. i grew up with dkc returns so i had no idea how great the snes games were
Imagine a darker Donkey Kong game, where the island is being industrialized by these humanoid beings, being put to work against their will by a self aware robot. I would love to see this song in like the level before the final boss. It would really fit the nature vs. machinery feeling of this song.
That wouldn't be Donkey Kong then eh. Why not just create a new ip. Why try and mutilate every franchise with whatever gay fanfic you pulled out of your ass?
Imagine just busting your ass away welding some metal together when all of a sudden a bunch of Gorillas, Chimps, Orangutans, Lizards, giant Wasps and such start throwing kegs of TNT and lighting barrels of oil on fire.
Blackout Basement is my favourite stage of the game, while Oil-Drum Alley is easily in my top 5 favourite stage of the game... This restored version is so perfect! Thanks for the upload =)
I want to thank you for sharing your job, you know? I love DKC!! It's one of my favorite games when I was a child!! I never thought someone would bother to make remastered versions 😍😍😍!! Excellent my dear Jammin!! Go on!!!
Oh man, I miss the days with one of my Uncles coming round to my house (with his relatives) and we played this, other SNES games and megadrive games (including streets of rage) together. I miss my Uncle. RIP Uncle who loves retrogames.
Dk's Point of View This place is new, this place is strange, From rocks and trees, an unwelcome change. This place is unlike any I've seen before, fiery furnaces and cold steel floors. What are they making, and at what cost? We know in t the process something will be lost. The air is brown, the water's green, the land is torn, all to satisfy this complex machine.... But why??
This is what I love about the the environmental message in this game. They're not shoved in your face as in "DO YOU GET IT? DO YOU FUCKING GET IT??? THE PLANET IS DYING!!1!1!!!!11!!!1!!!!!1!"
I came here because I was looking at the lyrics to Nine Inch Nail’s Wish. The flute section that first happens at 0:58 sounds basically identical to the chorus.
This new expanded version sounds amazing, but the FLAC file for this new version sounds different/incorrect: around the 2:38 mark on the file the percussion hits at the wrong time and from the 3:00 mark until to the end of the track the overlaid flute (I think that's the instrument) is missing.
Not gonna lie, I got super-addicted Factorio (amazing game, especially with the Space Age DLC) and decided one day to have this play in the background instead of the in-game OST. It's become a regular track on my playlist lol
Thumb up if you know how to get the secret bonus room inside of the bonus rooms of oil drum alley ;) (& there's one more secret bonus room inside of another bonus room in a jungle level)
Aaaaand this made me very stressed because I KNOW I know it. But I realized I also forgot it consciously. I just know that I know the secret when it's on screen and my deeply worn-in muscle memory just takes over and does it.
Hmm...did you use the sound from Super Nintendo when Donkey Kong slaps the floor twice as part of the drum beat? If you did, I would be impressed beyond impressive.
Quando eu era criança , se passava em frente a uma fábrica, automaticamente cantava essa música na cabeça. Kkkk . Se era uma fábrica "tecno" , mas se fosse uma abandonada eu cantava a do DK3 mekanos kk. .
Hoards of zombies flood the halls of the beaver woodworks, you and your team gun them down with all the strength you have. FALL BACK (Also props to whoever understood this reference)
David Wise gave me a list of the synths he used to make the soundtrack. Reverb and other effects are done by ear. I use kuroneko (SPC Player) to isolate specific channels in the song so I can listen in more closely to the fine details
Damn. Why did they turn the gaming industry into grey-brown, samey shooters and dull, repetitive rpg's when they had this???? Just boggles my mind that gaming went down the avenue it did when there was so much goodness to draw from.
@@vacuumblink2300 cant say i know what you mean. Youre either implying that video games arent grey-brown, samey shooters and dull repetitive rpgs, which they most certainly are these days.

My father used to work in a factory at the night shift when i was a kid, and this level is exactly how i used to imagine his work to be like lol
E eu achando que tu era gringo kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
You thought he was jumping off tires and flaming oil barrels while knocking out humanoid crocodiles
@@briarmason8737Night shift be wild like that 😂
Damn imagine if the power was malfunctioning, causing the lights to flicker.
Clock in, jump over the oil drum, throw the barrel...
I always loved that thirty-second build-up into such a good rhythm. This might be my favorite track from the first game.
Quite a metronome, eh?
@@Dlf212 Indeed.
Same, it’s also my favorite from DKC.
Mine too 👍🏼
One of my favorites too 🤭
1994 feels like it was just yesterday and I was still learning how to play this game. This was one of my favorite tracks and replayed the levels just to hear the music.
Seems yesterday because this game will never get old, this is a classic game, and classic games never die.
I was born that year.
I thought I was the only one who replayed the levels just to the placer to hear again the masterpieces!!! :)
What do you mean? 1994 was just five years ago.
I can’t get over the tyre physics in the dkc games it literally couldn’t be any better and it was done so long ago!
Listening to this games soundtrack as a kid heavily influenced my taste in music as an adult. Thanks for all these restorations.
Me too. I listen to a ton of blues and retrowave as an adult now lol.
It also gave me a huge respect for video game OST. They can be some of the best stuff out there. Undertale/Deltarune is worth checking out, it's a great OST.

@@paldinox1 Fun fact: "OST" is the Swedish word for "cheese". ;)
Rare: we need an industrial theme that still fits in this jungle game we're making.
David Wise: I'm sure i can come up with something
I made a comment not too long ago being the Rare/Nintendo Emplooyees saying "Mr David Wise, we need an underwater song for our Monkey game" "Make a timeless classic? Here I go!"

I don't really get the point of this comment
Awesome restoration, I especially like how the beat kicks in 1:08
Love the irony of the track being called 'Fear Factory'....it reminds me of the band Fear Factory, sound and level design!!
As of now
I am a tool
Same!
@@OGRUclipsEnjoyer For severe! IMMM PAACCT!
Fear Factory (the band) is the GOAT of industrial metal. The album Obsolete is such a banger!!
@@MindVersusMisery Demanufacture too :D
The music part at 0:58 is just beautiful.
I agree ive always thought the same thing
ruclips.net/video/oemWurlMuK0/видео.html&pp=ygUYNyB0ZWFyeiA3IGRvdmVzIDcgYmx1bnRz
I agree
It's a nod to the "Wish" chorus (Nine Inch Nails song)
@@matthiasstepancichhow do you know? Jw it does sound like it
Stuck in my head for the last 25 years. Epic game, epic soundtrack. Well done on the restoration of these tracks as well. Cheers
You’re doing God’s work, Jammin’ Sam Miller. Thank you so much.
Thanks so much for doing this masterpiece, this underrated soundtrack deserves being remastered, your'e such a great genius!!! God bless you!!
This is one of my favorite tracks in the series, top 5 at least
I dunno if it's in my top 5 of the series, but it's definitely my favourite theme of the first game. Both Blackout Basement and Oil Drum Alley are in my top 5 favourite stage of the game as well
@Dry Boi No forest interlude? :o
@@lacuevadexavier Forest Interlude was from DKC2. This track is from the original DKC game.
@@josephbacon9918 My answer was to someone listing his fav songs from the entire series
This track was tragically underused in the game. It would've been awesome to have the factory be one LONG, LONG level before King K. Rool.
A level like that would have fit perfectly in World 6. Like an underground factory that's at the heart of the Chimp Caverns.
I remember when i first got to this stage as a kid I was blown away! Music fits the stage extremely well
Wow Sam... Now this sounds absolutely perfect!!! Awesome update!!!
One of the most emblematic DK track ever, great restoration work on it
Waking up to one of your Uploads is a Blessing.
One of my favorite tracks
IKR? The fact that both levels this plays in are in my top 5 (with Blackout Basement being my favourite) helps appreciate the music even more.
I've never played this game but I just found these on your channel and holy crap. What a JAMMMM
Something about the thumbnail for this video is very eerie, cold, ominous and kinda creepy. I love it.
Exceptional theme for our cyborg friend, Fulgore.
sam, i just want to thank you because listening to these restorations is what made me want to play the original trilogy. i grew up with dkc returns so i had no idea how great the snes games were
How to brighten my day.
Thanks, pal.
Timing 1:41
What
Every time I drive by a steel mill, power plant or heavy industrial estate, I always play this music.
Imagine a darker Donkey Kong game, where the island is being industrialized by these humanoid beings, being put to work against their will by a self aware robot. I would love to see this song in like the level before the final boss. It would really fit the nature vs. machinery feeling of this song.
That wouldn't be Donkey Kong then eh. Why not just create a new ip. Why try and mutilate every franchise with whatever gay fanfic you pulled out of your ass?
...like dkc3???
i mean it's not 1:1 but that's pretty close to dkc3s plot
@hardlyanydiggity3953 I haven't played that one actually. I only know it from its creepy game over screen lol
@@omegagamerex2148 then play it
@@hardlyanydiggity3953 I'm trying to get thru the first two games, haven't been motivated, but I'll definitely try!
I'd work in one of these factories listening to this music. That would be great.
You're hired!
I don’t know i kinda feel like the music highlights the uncomfortable experience of being in the factory
Factories are tough
Imagine just busting your ass away welding some metal together when all of a sudden a bunch of Gorillas, Chimps, Orangutans, Lizards, giant Wasps and such start throwing kegs of TNT and lighting barrels of oil on fire.

I agree on so many levels. Blackout Basement is perfection, and Oil Drum Alley ain't much worse!

The chorus has a hint of NIN's Wish chorus. I don't think it was purposeful, it just fits. Great remaster.
Timestamp?
1:33 FREE Diddy 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how you painstakingly remade these songs, terrablue then re uploads them and compresses them almost back down to how they used to sound. Lol.
Always loved this one! ❤️
1:15 was cool in the OG version, but I cannot stop replaying it in this one
Walking into a Home Depot and staring up at the rafters and support beams has me humming this theme! 😅
Dk's Point of View
This place is new, this place is strange, From rocks and trees, an unwelcome change.
This place is unlike any I've seen before, fiery furnaces and cold steel floors.
What are they making, and at what cost? We know in t the process something will be lost.
The air is brown, the water's green, the land is torn, all to satisfy this complex machine....
But why??
This is what I love about the the environmental message in this game. They're not shoved in your face as in "DO YOU GET IT? DO YOU FUCKING GET IT??? THE PLANET IS DYING!!1!1!!!!11!!!1!!!!!1!"
man i remember those days that i always died in this level
most like i was a totaly disaster in this game
Great work, man! Keep it up!
Jesus christ man. This is incredible.
By far the best DKC Trilogy Theme, so sinister and badass
These are wonderful. Thank You!
This song would fit perfectly in a cyborg pole dancing contest.
why isnt this top comment?
Lmao! Comment of the year!
How, hi are you?
The true industrial metal in 8 bits
I came here because I was looking at the lyrics to Nine Inch Nail’s Wish. The flute section that first happens at 0:58 sounds basically identical to the chorus.
Nowhere except here has a factory ever appeared this menacing and cool
Watch ya cry while I smoke

What's up with you people? He's simply reporting errors in the file, not complaining.
@@AustinLineKJB exactly
He said in the flac version
i find amazing how similar you can create those things man
This sounds really good
factory gotta be my favorite gamedesing, it just gives a mystik feeling
Not gonna lie, I got super-addicted Factorio (amazing game, especially with the Space Age DLC) and decided one day to have this play in the background instead of the in-game OST. It's become a regular track on my playlist lol
Qué recuerdos cuando lo jugaba con mí hermana :')
There is no love!!
The og soundtrack of DK country had no business or right being that good!
Still have my SNES, just played this last night.
0:57 yup absolutely
Every time I listened to this, I felt like sneaking into the nearby steel mill that was by me back in the day
Thumb up if you know how to get the secret bonus room inside of the bonus rooms of oil drum alley ;)
(& there's one more secret bonus room inside of another bonus room in a jungle level)
Big brain
Aaaaand this made me very stressed because I KNOW I know it. But I realized I also forgot it consciously.
I just know that I know the secret when it's on screen and my deeply worn-in muscle memory just takes over and does it.

Remember that a level called Blackout Basement exists
Hmm...did you use the sound from Super Nintendo when Donkey Kong slaps the floor twice as part of the drum beat? If you did, I would be impressed beyond impressive.
It really does sound like it
Those samples could be use to create some really classic trance pieces, as is the song in and of itself
Misty menace 🙏
Quando eu era criança , se passava em frente a uma fábrica, automaticamente cantava essa música na cabeça. Kkkk . Se era uma fábrica "tecno" , mas se fosse uma abandonada eu cantava a do DK3 mekanos kk. .
IMO this is what 3 am motivation feels like
Make this techno and bam. Diddy Kong Racing Metropolis Night theme. Doesn't exist I know. BUT IT SHOULD.
Not techno, but progressive: ruclips.net/video/VnwYGft1d4Q/видео.html
Aye that's not bad...
The double takeout with the do barrel is sweet
Dk*
That snare hit is nut
01:14 nice
Working in a factory with headphones with this music in background would be epic
1:15 My favorite part right there!!!
I always thought the melody that starts at 0:28 ends way too quickly and that it should've looped first.
I agree but I have to say that 0:42 is amazing as well
1:02 - 1:06 😂 poor rhinoceros 😂
Damn I miss old school RARE
EPIC
Now i know, that i already loved Techno Music as a little boy… Almost forgot this masterpiece. Holy shit, 1994?!? 🔥🔥
This is my all time favorite DKC song! This would be awsome at a rave or miami night club with some molly and glowsticks!
BRAVO!

Sooo good
My fav!
if you wanna get funky, then you gotta get chunky
This is way better than Final Fight's Industrial Area!
I kinda prefer your older version, it sounds more crisp and clear.
The first time I only heard the fear factory song was in geometry dash
There are different remixes recreated by 586rick or CrimzonWolf777
This was where I got stuck when i played this game as a kid. I didn't finish the game until years later
*STOP STOP POS-TING*
My favorite tune in Donkey Kong country. God I miss this game.
……I regret selling my Super Nintendo.
how did you find the exact synths and effects? like how much reverb and all?
