    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

    Everyone brushes over the fact that Kaptain K. Rool, is not simply King K. Rool with an identity crisis / head-injury, but he has supernatural powers, including but not limited to: BECOMING INVISIBLE and firing screaming souls at you.

      @@alexanderbunte6803 DKC2 is so much darker in theme than DKC1, and its clearly reflected in the final boss battle music between both games. Youre not home anymore, you're fighting for survival through enemy territory, completely foreign to you and your fellow monkey companion, trying your damndest to save your boy that you just finished journeying through the entire 1st game with. DKC1 can be summarized as your banana hoarde gets stolen and you want to find out who took it, fuck them up and get your shit back. So much simpler thematically. It's a testament to David Wise and his ability to convey these themes in 16-bit form, and to do it so masterfully for having no experience making video game music before DKC1 is some "pulled from the ether" type shit. These songs practically live rent-free in my head as a 31 year old, I could wax poetic for days on these soundtracks.

      @@alexanderbunte6803 Arguably I'd say it's the other way around. The original theme is upbeat but the second one is much more harsh and puts desperation and fear onto the player. DKC2 not only has a darker atmosphere than the first game but also sets the difficulty much higher, much like the K Rool fights in their respective games.

    After all, most great Super Nintendo games had CD-quality soundtracks.

  • @seanrendall5495

    DKC3 dropped the ball. DKC2's first level started in a location that was identical to the final boss of DKC with a song that was a more cheerful mix of the final boss music. Then the game ends with this amazing track in a wild setting like this, and Lakeside Limbo is what DKC3 gives us; the most patronizing song possible.

    @strumdynasty3050 3 года назад +7

    Sam, this is one of those percussion-heavy songs that could really use a release that isn’t dynamicallt compressed. Have thought about releasing mixes without the dynamic compression so they sound more like the SNES sound chip?

    • @JamminSamMiller
      @JamminSamMiller  3 года назад +7

      Sorry, but the goal of this project is not to be more like the SNES sound chip. It's to bypass it completely and create what these tracks might've sounded like if they were mixed in a modern studio environment with modern FX

    • @strumdynasty3050
      @strumdynasty3050 3 года назад +4

      Jammin' Sam Miller Yes, I understand this. But I’m just saying I think the percussion might sound so much better/more intense if that modern mixing practice was fudged a little. It’s sooo close to being perfect. That would still allow all the modern effects and the majority of modern mixing technology. Intense dynamic compression is certainly popular in modern mixing, but it’s not by any means universal. So it could still be “modern” without so much of it. That’s the only thing that really needs improvement imo. This is true for many of these great tracks you’re doing.
