@@RebeccaETripp All of them!
After all these years, I still think that DKC2 has the best soundtrack ever produced for a videogame. All the themes are still stuck into my head !
I agree
agreed. Absolutely sublime
Ocarina of Time and DKC2 are tied in my opinion. Both are amazing
I don't know if it's the best, but it's definitely top 5.
These tunes are so atmospheric.
And always will. It came straight from heaven.

NOBODY CLICK IT!. IT WILL BANISH YOU TO THE N ZONE.
whut? i am too stupid to get it
I just made the N Zone comment because that's the gap between dimensions in FF5 and the timestamp you gave me leads to nowhere, haha!
Maybe you wanted to say 4:59
99 is out of time range :)
That Stickerbush Symphony is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard.
Thanks! :'O
The Stickerbush Symphony made me want to cry
It's one of my favorite songs. It makes me tear up when I hear it. I like the way the chords change. 😊
At moments like these I actually love the internet...
no people arguing no problems, anything just ol Dk
Thank god for youtube.
The transition from Forest Interlude to Stickerbush Symphony is sublime. The way the strings soar until they reach that alarming peak does the original justice and then some. Congrats on this.
Thank you so much!
Stickerbrush Symphony is my favorite song from DKC2. I like the way the chords change.
I didn't know what was missing from my life until I heard this
^_^ Thanks!!
Couldn't agree more. Goosebumps, so many goosebumps. I listen to this while i drive, workout, just about anything nowadays lol.
You can say that again
Hola, mucho gusto de conocerte :D
gorgeous
This is an interesting time machine...
ProtoMario im surprised this doesn't have more likes, protomario is underrated.
I see you everywhere! From Sandm. vids to Donkey Kong Country medleys. Glad I subscribed
But protoooo
Butt-proto
even more so with each passing year
David Wise is hands down my favorite VGM composer in the entire industry. The mans a genius.
I love DK. My favorite game of all times. Including the song's that marked my childhood!!!
This is ridiculously good - 'In a Snow Bound Land' almost had me in floods of nostalgic man tears.
Amazing work. Just amazing.
Thank you! ^_^
Stickerbrush Symphony is a bloody masterpiece!
It's actually "Stickerbush," not "Stickerbrush." Don't worry; I thought it was Stickerbrush until _very_ recently 😅
@@ZhangtheGreat I've never noticed that before lol
It always has been, and always will be
@@PKINGU Always was *holds cannon barrel to the back of your head*
Stickerbrush best than ever
I'm so glad everyone feels the way I do about this music. It's more than music, it's soothing, creative, and a great credit to the game, especially Stickerbrush.
Very significant part of many of our lives!
@@RebeccaETripp This is the beautiful side of social media :)
Listening to this made me kinda emotional.
Hands down my favourite game of all time and represented such a massive part of my childhood.
I'm glad it moved you. :)
Yes...my eyes teared up at the Forest Interlude remix
holy hell that transition from web woods to stickerbush was elegant. well done.
Thanks a lot!
no estoy llorando, solo tengo algo en el ojo...
Son lágrimas de fuerza.
Desde que empezo hasta que termina :D
@@RebeccaETripp te amare por seimpre 💛
se me ponen los pelos de punta con esta obra de arte
En la parte del final con la imagen de Diddy y Dixie siempre se me sale alguna lagrimilla. Me recuerda a una situación personal.
I've been crazy for this medley for 5 years now and it still brings so much joy when I listen to it
Very glad you're still enjoying it! :D
13:50 In a Snow Bound Land
This song is very strong, I close my eyes and I get to see myself with my ten years playing DKC2. The soundtrack of this game is a journey back in time, thank you David Wise for your work!
I do think so dud .. 😌
@@RebeccaETripp But this remix made me imagine myself as a fish submerged on a river.
In a Snow Bound Land one of the absolute best ice themes in gaming history 100% Top 5 or even Top 3
these melodies make me cry with emotion, remembering my childhood
This orchestral version of Forest Interlude is an absolute masterpiece. Thanks for this! (Congratulations from Brazil)
So many memories.....Best videogame OST of all time
It's a good thing the kong clan has so many amulets of water breathing
Forest interlude is my favorite!!DK is my life, I cannot be here without it,,,,
Thanks! Yes, it is one of the god tier series!
This has such a classical, yet timeless sound to it...especially "Jib Jig," which sounds exactly how music at sea should.
Forest interlude....oh god.....i cry
Best composition shot on youtube. Here in Brazil, people are very much a fan of these songs. Congratulations, you are very talented.
@@tiagobordin6580 why are we all writing in english if we know we are all brazilians?? Lol.
Music has no language
@@rodrigo3732 because we are BR and we don't make sense!!!
@@iagoflesheis i see.kkkk
GO TO BRAZIL.
Absolutely amazing work
Thanks. ^^
Literally one of my favorite games of all time. This collection instantly takes me back to my childhood.
On another note, why aren't Dixie Kong and K. Rool playable characters in Smash Bros yet? Nintendo come on!
I see you (like in Avatar)
You'll probably know this already, but you'll be glad to know K. Rool has made it into Smash.
1/2 is fine right
@@urosasin8979 We still need Dixie though.
@@williamsells4107 Nah, we need both of them.
The Forest Interlude section is so beautifully orchestrated, not to mention all the ambience noise added..well done!
Ive been a huge fan of dkc since i was 8 and in 29 now. Cant believe how amazing this was. You got my sub
Thank you.
I love all dk's
The Mining Melancholy / Kannon's Klaim is specifically great. Good on this.
Thanks! :D
This is just pefect.
Thank you. ^_^
Mi infancia reflejada en un vídeo juego :((( Donkey kong
Minha também. Muito obrigado por existir DK no mundo!
Rebecca's not trippin' with this. Good stuff.
such a timeless classic.
it is and as the others mention why doesn't this have more likes and views?
I'm not gonna lie, you made my eyes overflow with tears! DKC2 has truly some of the best soundtrack of any video games, and you made it even better.
Thank you so much! :D
This completed a major part of my childhood. EPIC.
Well...my life is complete now
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I don't know what else to say except; you deserve attention and appreciation. Thank you for being you, thank you for this outstanding piece of auditory art.
:'D Thanks!
Stickerbrush symphony gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Excellent work!!!!!
Wow . . . This is amazing! You make stunning music! This is _so_ nostalgic! I remember playing this back in 1995! That was almost 20 years ago today! I was only about 12! I play DKC1 every year when autumn approaches, and I play DCK2 too, just before winter, because that's when I got it so long ago for the SNES! Shortly before the holidays! I remember finding everything, and it was challenging at first, but it became so enjoyable! I got really good! Memories! Thank you so much!
DKC2 is a jewel among jewels. ^_^
This is fantastic. Captures the mystery and adventure of Donkey Kong Country 2's soundtrack while remembering its melancholy and grittier aspects. 10/10 I've got a new work jam.
Hey, thank you! ^_^
Stickerbrush will always be my favorite theme. So much nostalgia everytime I hear it. This game is also my favorite of the three :)
Escuto todos os dias! De 2x p cima! Principalmente quando estou muito estressada, e agitada 👏👏 acalma minha alma
Obrigado por seu comentário. Estou tão feliz que minha música ajude!
After all these years, I still think this is the greatest mix !
Ditto
Thank you! :D
I was listening to this music 3 years ago during the preparation of my wedding with my family. This game marked my childhood in particular with its so particular atmosphere, and, living by the sea, has a close theme.
I still listen to this music these days and my 2 and a half year old son loves it too! Can't wait to play DKC2 with him.
I'm glad that new generations are going to experience it. ^_^
David Wise crushed it, and you elevated his work. Disco Train has always been a staple in my library, and the others are just as good, too.
Es increible como melodias de tu infancia te llenan de emocion hasta las lagrimas, me genera miles de cosas que es dificil de explicar y solo agradeces al destino de haber topado con semejante juego con semejante musica detras. Dificil de contener las lagrimas
Como sabes, a veces las lágrimas son muy necesarias.
You did an amazing job with this!
I still believe this is the greatest video game soundtrack of all time.
All hail David Wise! All hail DKC2!
This is incredible, very well orchestrated! I've never pressed the favorite button so quickly.
Thank you!
This is pretty much one of the soundtracks of my childhood. I love this shit.
This has been on my main playlist for many years now. It's truly one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard🧡
Thank you so much! That makes my day! ^_^
This medley is awesome, I'll cry
kannon's Klaim is my favorite. Love this feeling.
That was always my favorite as a kid.
Besides from this masterful arrangement, I want to thank you for all the fanart which brings another layer of nostalgia
I'm glad you enjoyed this! :)
Your transition are LEGENDARY, its feels real smooth, better than DJ are rave. I dont like comparing, but Finally a mix than changes BPM ! Its fresh and variable. Very good job !
Thank you so much! :)
Love this!! The Forest Interlude and Stickerbrush Symphony sections are just gorgeous.
That's absolutely fantastic and gives me such a nostalgic feeling
Am not crying, you are crying!
Sério incrível me lembrei da infância inteira PERFEITO❤❤❤
Obrigado!
Fuck, now I want another one with some of the tracks you didn't cover, because this is fucking glorious! Although slightly dissapointed about the lack of Boss Bossanova, Crocodile Cacophany, Primal Rave, and my personal favorite track, Bayou Boogie.
Well, I'm 100% going to do a standalone Bayou Boogie. It's actually one of my favorites as well. I just, for whatever reason, couldn't fit that track anywhere in this medley and keep the flow.
I listened to this imagining how great would be if they do a remake from the old games, David Wise is a great compositor and you
succeeded in absolving the essence of his soundtracks, you did great :D
Easily the best soundtrack for any video game or classic game trilogy of all time.
Krool disliked this.....it's the only explanation! This compilation is AMAZING! I love it! I don't have a musical bone in my body so I truly appreciate the hard work put into this.
Then he sent a lot of krems in to help him out.
Se me puso la piel de gallina, es la mejor versión que he escuchado hasta ahora 🥰
Realmente aprecio eso. Gracias! ^_^
The algorithm has brought me back for probably the fourth time now! Just as beautiful as the first time I heard it.
Thank you so much! ^_^
2024 and I still listen to this masterpiece
Thanks. :)
Aunque haya faltado Gang-plank Galleon, las 5 canciones que amo con todo mi corazón son: Flight of the Zinger, Mining Melancholy, Forest Interlude, Stickerbrush Symphony y In a Snow bound Land 😍
this is tooo much for my feelings,,, nostalgia strike me down ...
They are tears of strength.
Thank you for taking me to my childhood
Beautiful medley of one of my favorite game soundtracks.
Great work! This game was a huge part of my early childhood, so seeing something as well put together as this makes me happy. Thank you.
^_^ I'm really happy to hear that. So glad you enjoyed it.
This game was a huge part of my early childhood TOO.
I fucking love the Disco Train part, most people just remix into electro stuff but this sounds way better and matches the style of other vechile levels IMO.
Thank you!
The best OST of videogame DK2 in Orchestra
DKC2 and SMW for the SNES were my introduction to video games. My grandfather and I played them together a lot and sometimes I get to missing him. During those times it makes it a bit easier to remember the good times by listening to music from those games. So thank you for giving me something to listen to ^^
Wow... Absolutely stunning work. The original soundtrack is a masterpiece and this remix definitely does it justice.
When it came to the music of Donkey Kong Country 2, David Wise certainly hit it for 6 when it came to making the entire soundtrack a Pirate Island Adventure theme.
Each stage perfectly resembles the area of the world that Diddy and Dixie have to explore in their quest to save Donkey Kong from the evil King/Captain K.Rool.
Thanks a million or making this!! Donkey Kong Country was I believe the first game I ever played (I was four) and I poured hundreds of hours into the three of them. I have nothing but the best memories of these games, regularly pausing the game to listen to the soundtrack in awe (I'm looking at you, Mining Melancholy, Forest Interlude, Flight of the Zinger and Stickerbrush Symphony!). To hear how someone put so much time and effort into their own versions is incredible. It's ALSO cool to see the beautiful fanart and read the nostalgic stories down here in the comments.
So an overall huge THANK YOU, Rebecca and everyone who contributed to this piece of art :D
That was really nice to read. ^_^ Thanks.
15:25 that Forest Interlude 😢😢
Gosh this is so beautiful...
Thank you. ^_^
this was worth every minute
That was amazing, I'm speechless! Or, well, since you asked, I especially enjoyed the beginning with all the pirate-themed tracks and your transitions were very good. This is my first time listening to any of your work and I just sat through the whole 20 minutes just taking it all in without noticing the time go past. I'm definitely here to stay.
Thank you! ^_^ I"m gad you enjoyed it!
Bramble Blast stay the most beautiful music on video game, your version is the best, congratulations.
Thank you. ^_^
Woah Rebecca, I'm really stunned from how good this remix is! Truly amazing job, you got a new fan
Thanks a ton! :D
awesome! the best ost ever made, thank you and thank you David Wise.
This soundtrack is amazing! Absolutely epic and surely DKC 2 is one of the greatest soundtracks of all video games. David Wise is an absolute musical genius. Does anyone else think that Cranky Kong at 50 seconds looks like Uncle Iroh? Cranky Kong is wise and old. Uncle Iroh is wise and old. They could be the same person just in different time periods.
☕🍪
Amazing orchestra!
QUE BESTIALIDAD DE BANDA SONORA, SOLO RARE LO PODIA LOGRAR
Que maravilla de melodias, directo a la nostalgia, que increible, esto es una obra maestra, podria estar en spotify, gracias por compartirnos esto.
Gracias! :'D
Here is the ending tracks on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/11VoSavaVjUlYCiI84f9Be
(And, of course, Forest Interlude and Stickerbush Symphony are just superb here. I especially love the little details on the former's harmony! 😁)
I'm glad you liked it. :3
My favorite SNES video game. How could I not like this.
Magnífica orquesta, pura nostalgia esta saga una de mis favoritas por lo decir que es mi preferida
Your renditions always make me cry, they are so beautiful. Excellent work
Wonderful! Reminds me of 6th grade and those cold December nights playing SNES.
That was amazing. Donkey Kong 2 will forever be in my heart, a truly gem from the SNES! You did a great job and my day is better because of you. Thanks!
I don't know why, but every time u upload a new video I'm acting like a little kid on christmas lol. I love everything u do even tho I never played DKC, that doesn't keep me from loving this. U are amazing
That's very nice to hear. Thank you. ^_^
This is amazing. It's funny because it's from a video game which I loved as a kid. But you never think of music composed for video games to be genius. The quality by RARE was ahead of it's time visually but auditory too compared to the other Snes games. But also the music for it, even thought it was compressed and well you know like videos game music are. Compressed and lower quality. I knew from the beginning when playing the game, how advance the melody was. Like the composition of it. Like if brought to life with real instruments and not compressed and high quality, it would be amazing. Like this is beautiful music. Very well composed, genius composer and great job by orchestra bringing it to life. I wish there was one for the final boss battler, I always loved the melody to it, because it started calm and jolly and then turns heavy with the drum beat or would be if brought to life and the climatic, drama sound. But an electric guitar needed for that part which is probalby why you didn't add it for this orchestra
I listened to this just as midnight was approaching on one of the happiest days I've ever had. It was the perfect way to finish it :)
Oh my goodness this is amazing! Thank you so much for making and sharing this! I'm a huge DK Country fan, and DK Country 2 is my favorite in the series! This makes me so happy! Also I'm so glad that Stickerbush Symphony was the last one! That is my favorite piece from DK Country 2! DK Country has so many great pieces!
Yes, I agree! David Wise is one of the most amazing modern composers! Thanks for your comment!
