    Rare had the best beats by far. Amazing music. David Wise was a composer at Rare from 1985 to 2009. "I was working in a music shop demonstrating a Yamaha CX5 Music Computer to a couple of people, Tim & Chris Stamper. I'd written and programmed the music for the demonstration material. They offered me a job." - David Wise. He is credited as the composer for this music.

    For me, I feel this is honestly the greatest video game track of all time. The musicianship, the melody, the build, the vibes, and the craftsmanship. Its perfect. Dude did not have to go that hard for the first track of the game. So much structure.

    I feel like Iโ€™m an Rare audio engineer finally getting to hear what the composer came up with for the jungle level of a new game theyโ€™re making called Donkey Kong Country. Itโ€™s really neat how you did this.

    Remembering when I play this game from 6am until 6pm and finished all stage. Man!! So nostalgic ๐Ÿ˜Œ

    I always liked to leave DK idle for a few seconds to let him do his yelling sound; it blended quite well with all the music from the game.
  • Wow, it actually sounds far more similar to DKCR than I ever thought it was. Thanks for opening my eyes! Also, 1:43. This section just makes me drool, it's soooooooooo good... So GOOD!

    This sounds so wonderful. 1995 is so far away and at the same time so close to my ears. Thanks for this, because this brings me to my childhood and I just want to take an SNES controller and play some DKC just like if nothing else mattered in the world.

    My older brother who was my idol at the time (I was 5 he was a BIG 9 year old) told me that when he was going through this level, he saw a giant dinosaur walking in the background. I said: "I wanna see the gigantic dinosaur too!!" He replied: "Sure thing, just keep playing this level bro, you'll see it eventually...." 25 years later... still no dinosaur and my brother is still known for his love for trolling people in real life. Some things never change.
  • As a country returns player it's amazing how they kept the exact same melody and just supercharged the audio and instruments for the next game really have that super nostalgia to all the original players (Side note is it just me or do the trees all look like they have disturbing eyes looking at you)

    I was expecting vinesauces corruption 'buweeeeeeep'
  • WOW, I've been looking for something like this for so long. Especially the notes for that echo thing at 4:17-4:20
  • @sivicsi93
    from start to end love it here in 2022
  • @JoeContext
    I still want to know why they came up with this whole upbeat catchy theme that fits DKC like a glove and then it just becomes, like, a completely different song
