Composed by David Wise. Recreated by me. This was made possible by locating the original instrument samples from workstation keyboards and drum machines before they were put into the game and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience. Part of a project to restore the entire DKC series soundtrack. Follow me on Twitter for more updates: / princesamlet

Korg Wavestation, Roland R-8, Roland U-220

It's happening. Going scuba diving soon. Bluetooth earpiece. 38 years in the making.
leave an update!
would love to know your experience in this. that sounds so magical
Was it as magical as intended?
@@pawprint1he passed away from nostalgia and depression during the dive. no one makes it out alive from this

"It's just a silly game about a gorilla, just compose something"
David Wise: *composes a banger of a soundtrack *
Just a silly game about apes and yet this song brings me to tears, hahaha, go figure humans...
Nah bro, Rare wasn't investing 150k per workstation to just compose something. They went all in
@BrunoSenra brings me to tears too man...life was so different than it is now when i first heatd this....
video games were better when they were made by 20 people
From an interview, David said they didn't even know what the game was going to be about yet and compsed this as just a like "Yeah you know, here's some bass lines and stuff, get it working." He said Trent Reznor had heard his music from DKC1 and liked it, and that's when he knew he had made it as a musician.
I was 8 when this released and I’m 37 now. There’s a reason I love to see gameplay of these old games and hear the music just like this… it’s because each one of these games.. each one of these soundtracks takes me back to a moment in time. It takes me back to a specific time, and a specific person that I played the game with. Whether it was my father watching me play the game.. or my neighbor Andrew sitting next to me as we play through the entire game. It’s not simply nostalgia to hear soundtracks like this… it’s like we’re warping in a time capsule. Returning to that moment and reliving it. Remembering the scenery, the atmosphere, the smells.. it’s returning to that specific room, in that specific house that we played the game. It can be very happy, or very sad for some of us. These aren’t just games… these are little time capsules. These are part of our brain, part of our hearts.
couldnt agree more
I had a childhood friend who's been gone for a couple decades now, but these game clips and OSTs remind me of playing w him in mid 90s, when this game hit it's peak on SNES 😢❤❤
Me too ❤️
Memes the DNA of the soul.
It takes me back to my childhood best friends basement. His name was Jesse. I haven't talked to him in over 20 years. I think the thing I miss about this is the fact that childhood responsibilities were incredibly small compared to adult responsibilities. I'd love to go back to having easy schoolwork being my only responsibilities.
my one wish would be to swim/ explore the deepest oceans with some headphones on while this song on infinite loop and to never come out for all eternity.
That is a mood
My one wish is too never ever do that. The ocean is my biggest fear ever. Although I still love this song and ocean games although they still give me the creeps.
If you go scuba diving, you can get raptures of the deep. And with this song too...
@@avgyoshi3600 you really want some creeps from ocean games? Try playing Ecco the Dolphin. the original on Genesis manages to portray the mystery and horror of the depths very well, but the 3D versions on PS2 i believe, those ones look extra eerie because of the low draw distance.
That would be the most terrifying thing ever
- this sound reminds me of a time of no stress. No struggle. No fears. No smart phones. just 90s kid life😢
Nice pfp
Yeah unti it replays for about the 10th time. I have a headache now, its nostalgia for about 3 minutes.
@@darnelldinkins77 I can see that. I can enjoy some mario kart wii music for a couple of minutes before I start to get a bit tired.
You can still not have a smart phone. Can't promise not having the other things mentioned.
the 2010s are much better as we aren't limited
can't imagine how much more bittersweet this beautiful music would be if I'd played it as a kid
it's so nostalgic bro, i played it when I was 11
it really is. Rented an SNES from blockbuster and played it non-stop when i was 5 or 6. I could never beat this level in one try, i'd just sit and listen to this track lol
It was nice, but it was mostly played on old tvs, some people’s television speakers were not that great (I’m sure there were lucky people/ / upper class)
However, this is the first time people hear how it was meant to be heard.
@@organicwins91 As someone who heard the insanely compressed 32KHz, 8-bit audio as a teen, this is how I always dreamed it would sound... *Mind blown*
I can for the both of us... I experienced this game as a 13 year old. Hearing this uncompressed at full fidelity is tears-of-joy inducing...
Reminds me of my childhood so much. Miss the 90’s and early 2000’s
Same, same. I'll be 29 in seven days. 😭
@@brittanystack6413 I’ll be 35 in march and honestly playing that game with my siblings (rip my one of my brothers) seems like it was just yesterday.
I’m here with you
@Felix G Treviño my dad passed away in 2019, and all we did was play Mario Kart or Super Mario 64. And Zelda, obviously. So it's awesome we have those memories. 🫶🏻🥰
@@brittanystack6413 I’m sorry about you’re loss. It’s horrible. I can’t bare to lose anyone else in my family.
I love all the Mario games. Even the sonic ones. The first sonic and the first level, that song hits too ❤️
Don't we all
I still play this game almost daily. Im currently 27, I normally dont play anything online with my friends alot, I just want to play this. I still remember being a child at our first home and playing this in the basement. Before I was aware of anxiety and depression, this was the meaning to my existence. I've lost alot of family, and friends over the years, but I will never lose my love for this game. Im so happy and fortunate to see all the other people in the comments who have mutual feelings towards this experience 🖤.
There's an infinite amount of good and bad things happening right now. Whichever one you focus on determines how you feel. You're only getting older and it's time for you to give back to the world. The sooner you can accept that things are changing, the sooner you can clear up your depression and anxiety. When you're young it's all about you receiving things like birthdays, Christmas, fresh experiences, etc. Now that you're older it's time for you to give back to the world. The existence of your life is whatever you make it. If you're looking for a change in this world, it starts with the person in the mirror.
This brings tears to my eyes, not because it's sad because it's not, but because of how beautiful it is, it is a true masterpiece.
Same. Glad we could share some tears over this awesome tune.
This tune is boring dudes
@@markxv2267 no, you are.

I was stunlocked for like 3 and a half minutes listening to this
Ahhh.... The innocence of being a 90s kid. Games like this will never die
The guy who made this song is a great musician and has tremendous sensitivity. Makes me cry remembering my childhood.

I played Subnautica with this on a loop. An absolute game changer.
I bet it did. Subnauticas ost is great but not as great as this one song.

One of the best video game songs ever!
And this comes from someone who gaming for over 35 years.
Videogames are art idc what anyone says
If nintendo makes a donkey kong movie, this should play over the credits.
You have the right to remain chill. Anything you say can and will be a vibe. You have the right to an awesome day. If you are not having an awesome day, this video will provide one for you.
i found a remix of this song a few years back and i put it in a playlist i used to use for sleeping. it's just as relaxing as the original and it's pretty good. do love this version, so nostalgic. i remember my dad busting out the snes one day and letting me and my brother play. it was amazing
First game I ever really played, I was four. My mom recorded this onto a cassette tape that I would listen to on repeat, both sides, as I fell asleep at night. Beyond nostalgic.
JESUS lover u so much he came to this earth and died as a spotless sacristie for your sins
Takes me to a time in my life where life was still okay. Hopefully I can get to that point again where life feels okay. Until then I’ll find some peace in listening to this music. Love and light
I feel the same way
You can't wait for things to be okay to live your life friend
JESUS lover u so much he came to this earth and died as a spotless sacristie for your sins
I put my son to sleep with this song since he was a toddle. Still wants me to play it at age 7 for his nigh night song. ☺️ I grew up with this since I was younger than him.

Everyone; do yourself a favor and enjoy this restoration with a set of noise canceling headphones. Close your eyes and let it take you away. I promise your soul will thank you.
Sam, amazing job as always. Love that you revisited the track and continue to grow and improve. You’ve brought so much joy to many people like myself with your restorations. You have no idea how appreciated you and your work are. 🖤
Ayy glad ya like it 🖤
i understand the idea, but not everyone lives in a noisy place! I have nice powerful speakers and no neighbours, you can keep your headphones!
Alex Lorentzen-Cheeseman Totally fair enough! 😅 I’m just glad that we all get to enjoy it.
No one could said it better, Codi
No, i don't want, i'll just listen to this GLORIOUS music in MY way!
This makes me nostalgic for a time I wasn't even alive
JESUS lover u so much he came to this earth and died as a spotless sacristie for your sins
My 6 month baby loves this music, I was 8 years when playing this game, best of all the time, thank you and sorry I'm french with bad english
Salut Brice , je trouve ça vraiment cool tu fait écouté cette musique à ton enfant, j'ai souri en lisant ton commentaire. bonne journée
That is beatiful......god bless you
I'm here because my cat died and feel sad. I'm listening to this and picking up her favorite toys off the floor. How am I supposed to do this 😩
I remember when my childhood dog died in 2015. 2 days of shock where I felt nothing, then the depression hit. It gets better but you never forget. I still look at his pictures to this day
I send you so many hugs, I hope the pain fades but the happy memories remain. I hope she rests well.
dahn, I hope you get better
@@gooeyPhantasm can i make you a member of the Midnight Crew? :troll:
I am sorry to hear. My cat died suddenly at 6 years old. She could have lived another 12 years or so. It was unexpected and the vet said she had a heart problem we didn't know about until after we found out she died. I just hoped that she didn't feel pain and i still get heartbroken when i see her pictures and think of how fast she passed without a warning.
Why did they have to make the official anthem for childhood 90s nostalgia…for a game about a monkey. The producer didn’t have to go this hard. Bro is riding a fish collecting bananas underwater. Meanwhile, the player has tears streaming down his face reminiscent on when Wendy’s had that sunroom dining area…wild
This is spot on perfect it sounds so good. When GameXplain did their DKC 25th anniversary celebration week, one of their audio interviews was with David, and he said Aquatic Ambience he feels like was his best and favorite piece he ever composed for the series. He loved it so much that's why he re-recorded a new version for Tropical Freeze.
I feel like David likes Aquatic Ambiance a little too much, because he reused it a bit too often in DKC3 GBA and DKCTF. After the umpteenth reference to it in Tropical Freeze, it was losing its magic.
@@k-leb4671 if a song can make an oldschool water level bearable, it can't be liked enough
@@hm09235nd this song was perfect at the time
@@k-leb4671 Nah, we wouldn't be here on this vid if that were true
@@k-leb4671 Naw, it never lost its magic.
Memories at my grandparents out in the country feeling safe, well fed, and sooooo happy to be a kid and have these music tracks to pass the time into the night. Rip Grandpa Sotero you gave me an amazing unforgettable childhood
❤
I always get tears in my eyes listening to this. DKC was my first SNES game back in the day and I remember playing it alone at home after school because I had no neighbors my age and my sister was not yet born. Reading all these comments make me now realize that I was never alone
JESUS lover u so much he came to this earth and died as a spotless sacristie for your sins❤❤❤
That parallax effect with the surface of the water and the ground was so incredible looking when this came out. Game was on another level.
When those piano notes hit 😌👌
A man of great ears right here
It's when the bass drum kicks in for me. Lol

The amazing thing about this song is it doesnt really even repeat itself… new things keep getting added to the melody and beat
JESUS lover u so much he came to this earth and died as a spotless sacristie for your sins
Keep it going. It's 2023. No matter the year, if youre reading this, I hope youre having a blessed day.
You too ❤
it's weird how everyone feels happy nostalgia listening to this, but it makes me feel like i've forgotten something, like it feels familiar but not enough for me to recognize it? very liminal vibes 10/10
I'm here to just listen to this chill music
You know a song is iconic and powerful when the opening alone brings tears to the eyes.
JESUS lover u so much he came to this earth and died as a spotless sacristie for your sins
This song reminds me of when I was a child and I would gather with my cousins at my grandmother's house. Man, what memories and nostalgia...
Ahh the good old days, and the memories.
Incredible feat that he could get to play on the SNES
Look up Raspberry Pi and make sure your game files are on point. Im about to go show my buddy what this thing actually is hes 38 he's gonna be mind blown

@@wii43j This is the equivalent of ThatGuyWithoutAMustache who go around commenting on everything.
This song alone is what inspired me to start composing soundtracks at a young age. Nothing to date matches the beauty of this song coming out of the SNES’ most basic 16 bit audio engine. It taught me a musician can make anything no matter how basic the tools they are given.
The SNES audio chip was advanced for its time.

JESUS lover u so much he came to this earth and died as a spotless sacristie for your sins
i used to play this game as a kid when snes was still the thing.
this song always stood out as my favorite from the series.
i stumbled back on it one day as an adult from another person and was like man what is that i feel like i know that one. low and behold it was one of my old safe spaces.
so glad it got restored and isnt in terrible audio quality anymore. its a nice one to just come back and listen to sometimes.
That's awesome! I feel ya
Every night, by the glow of my CRT TV screen, under the soft whirr of the ceiling fan, I'd leave my SNES running all night on the pause screen for this level, not regretting one bit the amount of electricity I was wasting.
Bless your heart for restoring these soundtracks. It reignites some of my happiest memories and reminds me that everything ain't all bad. ❤
This is so relatable with the fan and leaving games on pause for the music. So many good memories this way.

There's something mesmerizing about the old donkey Kong country graphics, add the music and you have a dreamlike experience
I remember listening to this every weekend in the living room of my family's small Las Vegas apartment at sixteen. I loved good game music back then as much as I do today -- FF6 was another one of my favorites from that time period for the same reason, although Squaresoft hadn't yet fixed the numbering issue and it was still FF3.
My dad when he was a kid would have this level going and turn the tv off so it would only play out the speakers and go to sleep to it. When I was a kid he bought an SNES for his own nostalgias sake not realizing that he created a second generation of nostalgia. Now here I am reminded of my simple youth.
Awesome story, thank you for sharing!

Best song of donkey kong ever.
Some of my earliest memories are of playing this game, this is an amazing soundtrack to have etched into my subconscious
This is probably the most nostalgic song in DKC1.

David wise was reaching into other dimensions to make his music. No other composer cares so much about melody which is the juiciest part of music. And when he can’t deliver that he sets an amazing ambience with nice sounding instruments.
One of my all time favorite games with a killer soundtrack!

This makes me miss my big cousin he introduced me to video games I remember 2000 so vivid we used to play the game all night I used to be so amazed how he was so composed and good at the game while me a little kid would cry every time a fish would attack me
I would go visit my great grandparents house as a kid and sure enough pap was in his study playing this…he would hand me a controller…god does this bring back awesome memories.

A well made restoration of that legendary theme
Thank you very much for your work.
These melodies are a living memory of my childhood, whenever I listen to them they relax me enormously
Who else played the first water level over and over again just because of this song? The whole OST for this game is incredible. Super Mario World, Mega Man X, A Link To The Past and these DKC games are the TOPS of SNES music in my opinion.
Hey I want to thank you, I’ve been sleeping to this song for like every night for the past two months, thank you so much.
This is just beautiful.
Wonderful job. This theme and its sound pads were hunting me since ever. Now even better ... Thank you man. Adam

You knew what sections to open up and expand on really nice work .
When I was a kid I used to play this game with my brother and hearing the music again is very relaxing.
Whoever made this for this game, not only poured their heart into it, but got completely possessed by music… they gave it their all. They bodied this.
The man behind the song was David Wise. Not only did he compose it, he also went through so many steps to compress it just right to make it playable within the SNES's 64kb audio chip without crashing the console (all the instruments in the song ate up so much memory) while keeping the song sounding good.
That took real talent.
