This has so many good ideas packed into it. Having the percussion be the main focus while all the flourishes fall behind and around it...plus all those subtle pitch bends in the synthy leads. Edit: Plus that MJ riff is killer.
Great point about the Michael Jackson riff. I noticed the similarity to DKC3, but I’d forgotten that was originally sampled from MJ. I mean, Dave Wise and the rest of Rare’s sound team back then borrowed from so many places that it’s hard to remember all of them. :-p
Very thoughtful and dynamic remix. My interest was captive the entire time and I honestly put it on repeat to listen 4 more times after the first. Any time I see The Good Ice next to something, I'll be insta-clicking. Thanks for the fantastic listen!
I swear I’ve heard this (or something very similar) before, right down to the Hot Pursuit reference at around 1:20. 0__o Awesome mix regardless, but does leave me with a weird sense of deja vu.

Absolutely amazing!! That drum beat is giving me life! I will live longer because of the magical effect of those drums! 😍
Amazing stuff!
Excellent, as always.
easily top 5 remixes I've ever listened to and I've listened to hundreds
I accidentally checked this out and it turned out to be an absolute banger. Well done!

this is an INSANE bop of a classic
Wow! This is so good!
Wow this is really good.
That's a very well done version
super excellent. Really hit those 90s instruments.
Great beat and bass and everything.
A track a love
A remix I admire
A remixer username I strongly relate to
As I said very recently. There has yet to be a DK remix that I DON'T like. And this one's PERFECT for a couple of my mood-playlists.
WOW! Absolutely Yes!
This slaps
hell yes

That drumbeat goes so hard. Instant Rayman 3 vibes.
I am a simple man. I see The Good Ice, and i click.
Another homerun from "The Good Ice"

AKA Mining Melancholy
love hearing from this guy! he always has good remixes!
The thumbnail accidentally looked like the Mortal Kombat logo at first glance lol
Definitely not intended, but I can see that. XD
Just epic 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I don't recognize the remixer and cant find their other work. Have they done other work for OC Remix or are they new to the group?
Six remixes so far. Just click on the link in the Infobox.
Eyes of Umbra is a good one I've had in my rotation
@gaspode8 Thanks; as it turns out I haven't checked those other games' remixes yet. Hello weekend plans.
BTW, The Good Ice is half the lineup of their predecessor band, LongBoxofChocolate [ ocremix.org/artist/14927 ] :-)
