Thank you for covering this piece, got sincerely emotional at shared family memories playing the game and how I began my passion for music. Was wonderfully done, your instrument variety was fascinating again, so faithful to the original score
I love the change in lighting from the cheerful first half to the spookier second half! Thanks again for having me and letting me be part of such a wonderful group of musicians!
Sounds and looks great as always Nico! Even with me shooting in my basement 🙃Your Kirkhope sound is fantastic with your instrumentation. It feels like I'm playing the actual game! Thanks again for having me and for getting me to break out the pan!
Magnificent. Probably one of my favorite Grant Kirkhope works. All of dk64 soundtrack is glorious and it is worthy of an all new re orchestrated version like you did.
You nailed the tone switch between both sections! The instrumentation is very balanced and the steel pan was such a cool addition. Can’t wait to see what you’ll cover next from DK!
Such great playing everyone! Madalyn's tone is soooo pretty. I love the spooky shift in the middle. You nailed it again, Nico! AND got Grant Kirkhope to see it!
I've never played this game, but I keep coming back to this fantastic cover!! It honestly sounds like it could be a Pikmin song with how peaceful it is while also maintaining that eerie subtext
This is a great cover! Loved the section in minor halfway through, with the slower tempo and everything, it came across great. Love seeing all the great instruments you and others play for all those different colors!
I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for someone to cover this song, the nostalgia is so strong. What an absolute masterpiece, well done! Both the bass guitar and bass add a much darker dimension to the second half of the song and it was truly a welcome surprise.
Beautifully done! I can see you're a fan of Grant Kirkhope with the stuff you've done from DK64 and Banjo Kazooie/Tooie. I'd love to see what you can do with the Mario + Rabbids score! 😁
Beautiful, as always! I’d love to see and hear you cover a song from one of the Ori-Games one day. Especially „Climbing the ginso tree“ would be awesome! The soundtrack by Gareth Coker is one of my all-time favorites. Keep up the great work!
Incredible! I just started replaying the game on my Steam Deck couple weeks ago and this is one of the best if not the best songs. So happy to see y’all performing it 🎉
I would DIE for a cover of the Crystal Caves LOBBY music (not the actual music from the level, but from the lobby just before the level). It's so beautiful and I know you'd absolutely nail it!
the very start gave me some dream team vibes for a hot second, i wonder if there was any inspiration for dream team or if my tired brain is just making it a coincidence lol. Still, sounds lovely even after all these years

Everyone who played this game has this melody deep recorded in his memory, and this is the best way to take it back
That’s a 110% true, fantastic work 😊.
You are not wrong
My childhood memories have been unlocked
The mixing on this is insanely good, ties everyone’s performances together. Great work
When I think of Donkey kong 64 the DK island theme music comes to mind most often to me, tranquil, relaxing and timeless.
Grant Kirkhope is such a genius.
I love the change in lighting from the cheerful first half to the spookier second half! Thanks again for having me and letting me be part of such a wonderful group of musicians!
You killed it! I love how locked in but also how human you play these percussion loops! The perfect blend :)
子供の頃大好きだったゲームの音楽が生演奏で聴けることに感動です！どの演奏もクオリティが高くて聴き入ってしまいました。これからも投稿も楽しみにしています✨
Beautiful. So much nostalgia
The transition was so beautiful I shed a tear 🥲
Now this does sound like adventure! :D
This is so nostalgic 🥹 and that Clarinet part starting at 2:23 with that slower tempo was so mesmerizing. Bravo!
Sounds and looks great as always Nico! Even with me shooting in my basement 🙃Your Kirkhope sound is fantastic with your instrumentation. It feels like I'm playing the actual game! Thanks again for having me and for getting me to break out the pan!
Love the inclusion of Krem Isle. Well done!
This is super beautiful Nico

Thank you for driving the bus for a lot of it too! Glad you really liked the arrangement 😊
I get chills in every time 🔥 this is so badass.
Such great playing everyone! Madalyn's tone is soooo pretty. I love the spooky shift in the middle. You nailed it again, Nico! AND got Grant Kirkhope to see it!
THANK YOU!!
One of my favorite songs of DK64. Incredible bro.
Would you go as far as to say incredibro?
Now this Is beautifully majestic.

I don't think I've ever realized just how cool this song is until now. Very cool cover!
Thank you for taking the time to make this, I really enjoyed it. The nostalgia I felt was very profound
I can't tell you how long I've been waiting for someone to cover this song, the nostalgia is so strong. What an absolute masterpiece, well done! Both the bass guitar and bass add a much darker dimension to the second half of the song and it was truly a welcome surprise.
Love how you included the ominous version as well in this. Gorgeous job, everyone, and awesome arrangement Nico!
This is amazing! An excellent job done to all involved!
Wow that sounds great Nico! All the individual instrumental parts are so Lovely too!! 🎶🎶💝💝
Smooth and well orchestrated. So nostalgic of the old days opening new worlds in DK isle and K. Rool.
What an awesome version of the song, i would love to hear creepy castle in the next ons
Really cool arrangement, it progressively seemed to get spookier! Awesome work to everyone here!
Love the instrumentation! That lead fretless bass was so cool
Amazing work as always Nico! And also oomf right in the nostalgia!
Thanks mang! You killed that clarinet part
Beautifully done! I can see you're a fan of Grant Kirkhope with the stuff you've done from DK64 and Banjo Kazooie/Tooie. I'd love to see what you can do with the Mario + Rabbids score! 😁
phenomenal arrangement, great playing
Beautiful execution.
Great cover y'all! Dang that tone shift caught me by surprise!
This is a welcome and joyful surprise! ^_^ So beautiful!
Beautiful, as always!

The soundtrack by Gareth Coker is one of my all-time favorites.
Keep up the great work!
Amazing, sounds just like the original. Takes me back to when I was a kid thank you
Badass! I'm-a pick around on your channel and see what else you have. Very well done!
This is so well arranged and produced, it's giving DK64 remake (maybe someday...)! Also I have that same N64 shirt lol
Can't think of a more perfect cover of the isles~ Absolutely gorgeous stuff :D
The execution on this was perfect! Well played!
This works incredibly well! Amazing work here once again.
Once again nailing the tone and timbre of everything. Beautiful performance from both you Nico and the rest ♥
This is amazing!!! So glad you did the k rool theme too!
Incredible! I just started replaying the game on my Steam Deck couple weeks ago and this is one of the best if not the best songs. So happy to see y’all performing it 🎉

I might do a version with al the lobby music from each world sometime in the future ;)
@@NicoMendozaMusic Ohhhhh boy, heck yeah!
@@NicoMendozaMusic I also just realized how epic your style of remake would suite the Hideout Helm music! It's such an epic and urgent song!
@@matt0198922 👀
@@NicoMendozaMusic 😲...You wouldn't...
I love this cover so much
Absolutely beautiful 😢
Esa música me trae tanta nostalgia, es simplemente hermoso ✨
