I will never not find it funny that one of the most complex, varied, and atmospheric video game soundtracks of all time comes not from an epic RPG or plot-heavy adventure, but a platformer about a pair of monkeys fighting alligator pirates. A great rearrangement of a legendary soundtrack.
I know right, if you listened to this without knowing any of the context, you would just assume it's from some epic pirate movie - not a decades old game about monkeys jumping on crocodiles.
Esos eran melodias finas, bien orquestada y trabajado con excelencia. Que más se puede pedir, era la emoción del juego y te entrabas en el personaje del momento, pero te ayudo a desarrollar para lo que venía más adelante, luchar ante las adversidades de tu vida.
Are you kidding me with this? This is phenomenal. The original tracks were already great, but these orchestral compositions manage to have their own unique identity while preserving the soul of the originals perfectly. Well done.
Why is this getting recommanded to me now? I haven't watch anything DKC2 related in month, the video is not recent, it doesn't have an incredible ammount of views...weird. Oh well, even I don't understand it, I'm glad it happened.
This is actually so good it hurts. I've loved this game and its soundtrack since the day it came out. What you've done here means more to me than you will ever realize. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for this.
Lockjaw's Saga was one of my favorite tracks from the original game. On first play, this rendition started off a little slow and different for me, and I wasn't sure how to feel. ... but then THOSE DRUMS hit for the first time.... Every hair on my body stood on-end. A flood of nostalgia and excitement pulsed through my very soul. Such a faithful rendition of the original with added flair in all the right places. This was AMAZING, perfectly done!!
Forest Interlude and Stickerbrush Symphony are two of the songs that most marked my life, I'm here moved by their version, in tears as I write this comment. Thank you for that!
As an initial comment, it's risky to modify something that important to a fanbase such as a beloved videogame ost but the greatest things in this world come from brave people who take the risk of taking something we thought was perfect and making it even better. Oh my heavens! From the bottom of my heart I thank you for this tribute to an entire generation who played this masterpiece. This is beyond words, it's impossible to hold a tear, nothing moves a heart than a great childhood memory turned into something this amazing.
Mr. Zimmermann. You made it. You can't imagine what this game means to me. It's not just my childhood, it's my everything. You took the best part of the game, the soundtrack, created by the one and only, the legend, David Wise, and you elevated it to another realm. Listening to this was something I needed so much right now. Amazing job. Simply outstanding. The tears in my eyes are tears of pure joy. Thank you so much.
Listening to the first 10 minutes, I was so happy thinking that some symphony out there actually played all of this at some concert, wishing that I could have attended....and then I read the description...and it's SOME PERSON?!?! Fucking FANTASTIC!
As a 5 year old in 1995 when this game released, I remember my brothers and I got this game for Christmas that year and we immediately started playing it. DKC2 was, is, and always will be my favorite game in the DK series. The different world themes, and especially the soundtrack are what make this game so special to me. Thank you for bringing this bit of nostalgia into my day.
This was such a memorable soundtrack for me growing up and hearing it redone so well is truly epic. I’m blown away by the musical talent that was put into this.
I am pretty sure I am having a mental breakdown. I am currently watching a bunch of computer animated monkeys run through a honey comb, collecting coins and bananas.
I only just found this but this is glorious. As one of the best, if not the best 2D platformer and one of the pinnacles of original Rare ingenuity, this truly showcases what David Wise did on the 16 bit console.
Amazing effort, man. Totally worth the year and a half you spent on it! Like millions of other gamers, I played this game to death in the 90's, love David Wise's soundtrack, so therefore really appreciate this amazing DAW reconstruction/composition. I noticed you added some extra original parts of your own in there too. Sneaky!
I can imagine a animation movie with this soundtrack. Your capture all the essence of the original Soundtrack and I even couldn't handle my tears on Forest Interlude part, such a great work!
I listen to the DK soundtracks sometimes when I study. I cannot believe this hadn't been recommended to me! I am a huge fan of these games & their music - thank you for doing this, I love this so much!
la ctmm como encuentro esta obra maestra recien hoy?? nintendo tiene que hacer una remasterización de los 3 DK country y que el 2 sea esta la musicalizacion, capta excelente la escencia del juego
I've just got to take a momment to stop and say how fantastic this whole thing is. My god, I can't even really describe how well done this entire symphony is, you absolutely nailed it.
I grew up playing this gem of a game and it's still one of my all-time favorites. You absolutely knocked this thing out of the park and to the moon. It was a complete privilege listening to it.
Also, the middle to end of Forest Interlude is on point, brings goosebumps and tears every time I hear it! You made an already amazing album even more amazing!
DKC2 is the greatest game of all time! one of my faves! so much nostalgia growing up with it... best platformer ini my opinion. Love all the music and love this album!
Told my gf her noxious ass gas & rumbling stomach sounded like Hot Head Bop. She’s never played DKC so I had to look up the song to show her. Found this in the recommended of it stay blessed 🤙🏽
This gave me chills several times throughout. I love a lot of the choices you made, like underplaying certain parts to focus on the backing instruments, or the various flairs and chimes you just use as the song picks up! I’m absolutely buying this album!
Cara, qq é isso, essas músicas entram na alma. Faz com que a gente se sinta com 10 ou 11 anos de idade, nostalgia bate muito forte, dá vontade dar um abraço apertado nesse gênio chamado David Wise, e só agradecer por ter marcado a infância de uma maneira q nunca irá se apagar. Simplesmente sem palavras. Impossível não chorar ouvindo essas músicas
Is that a clarinet I hear on Snakey Chantey? My man! This is one of the cooler arrangements I have heard of a great soundtrack on what I believe to be one of the best SNES games ever made. Thanks for this!
I was expecting a midi rip with half assed effort as an album like some of the other video game OST "albums" I've seen on TH-cam... Boy was I in for a shock. Great work. This is really, really good. It is clear you put love and time into crafting these into Symphony versions. 11/10, 4 thumbs up. Subscribing.
This is great! Fantastic! Really breathes new and vibrant life into an old childhood classic. Thanks for taking the time to compose this, and to share it with all of us retro souls.
Wow!!! This is so amazing there are no words for it. Forest Interlude is so perfectly made. One song that isn't here that I would have absolutely loved to hear is Haunted Hall 😁 Edit: after listening to it again, I think Lockjaw's Saga is my favorite. The slow buildup to the first drums hits you so hard, I love it!
This was truly fantastic, I take my hat off yo you sir. In all seriousness from the very first rendition of the opening logo drop you took this 36 year old man straight back to getting this game for Christmas when I was 10 years old. Well done I'm very glad that your video was recommended to me in the side bar of a DK country retrospective video. I'll be loo,ing forward to seeing whatever you do next.
Thank You for this absolute banger. A bit sad that you stopped this format, and that you didn't do the other 2 parts of this legendary JV saga, but this mix is incredible!
I gotta tell you man, this gave me goosebumps and some tears came out my eyes, Snakey Chantey is my favorite song in a video game and you made it even more memorable! Congratulations!
This soundtrack brings back so many memories from my teen years. I can't thank you enough. You've taken a flawless score and, somehow, elevated it!!! Congratulations...and thank you once again.
Thank you, Ben, sincerely, for this work. Brings me back almost 30 years to the SNES game of my life. Listening to it every day currently, absolutely fantastic. Thank you.
Every single track here is wonderfully done, I'm in complete love with the whole video. I adore your take in songs like Mining Melancholy and Lockjaws's Saga. Absolutely beautiful work.
I can't even put into words how awesome this is! Thank you for allowing me to relive my childhood. You've truly outdone yourself with this masterpiece!
this is ABSULUTELY MESMERIZING! I cried, I laughed, I felt so many things remembering the incredible moments that I had with this game as a child. thank you so much, Ben ❤❤
Ben, I love the music! If you’re ever interested in Klomp’s Romp, you can replicate the creaking noise with just a wooden ruler and a desk. Slap the ruler, most of it hanging off the edge, while holding one end on the desk and slowly slide the rest of it onto the desk, you’ll get the same noise!
This is amazing! DKC 2 and its OST are some of my favourites of all time, and your rendition of it is incredible. It is a pleasure to listen to it. Thank you!
Amazing arrangement, bro. The whole DKC series had fantastic soundtracks thanks to great David Wise; in this case you gave your own touch to the masterpieces from DKC2, would love to hear those from the others as well. This other comment has nothing to do with the music itself, but I'd just like to express that I now realize how awesome the graphics were for that time back then....watching the clips taken and used in this vid is a proof for it.
What you have done here, sir, is take a series I hardly knew before 2018 and now love, and you've masterfully reorchestrated every track from DKC2. DKC is truly an amazing series, keep up the magnificent work. Glad TH-cam recommended me this.
As someone who has played hundreds of hours of DKC2 and considers it one of their favorite OSTs, you've done a great job. I especially like the arrangement on Lockjaw's Saga. I think even David Wise would appreciate your work here!
Snakey Chantey is my favourite track because of two reasons: It captures the essence of the first DKC game soundtrack so well and second it makes me feel nostalgic! But the entire video in it's entire is amazing! This game and it's soundtrack will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for all your effort!
@@BenZimmermannMusic What is your next project? Is the first DKC game soundtrack up next for a symphony remaster? I bet you can make it sound just as epic as this one!
I'm so lucky to discover this amazing masterpiece, this should have been youtube purpose of existence in the first place, videos of hard working people sharing their hearts.
listened to the full album. This is a wonderful orchestral arrangement! And the build ups and transition between each track really adds to the atmosphere of the DKC2 soundtrack! I love it!

It really is. I can’t stress this enough… it’s such an amazingly beautiful arrangement.
don't lose Dixie
Well to be fair this is one if not the best platformers of it's era. It deserved this soundtrack and no less.
David Wise is one of the best, if not the best, VG music composer of all time, with Chris "Turrican" Huelsbeck, no more, no less😉
Wise basically wrote an epic adventure movie score on snes hardware. Amazing really. Awesome rendition 👍
i don't think he's ever done a bad soundtrack
@@robjackson4050 has he written anything recently? What other games has he composed for besides SFA and Donkey Kong?
@@yampaamvs yooka-laylee 1 and 2, snake pass
The Soundtrack on the DKC series took the SNES to the next level, for sure.
@@yampaamvs If you havent heard the Tropical Freeze soundtrack yet go immediately and listen
David Wise would be very proud! His work has inspired millions over the last 2 decades
That's so true. He is one of the reasons why I'm doing music!
Nearly 3!
The fact people are still innovating music from 25 years ago says how good this is
Absolutely!
Dance machine playing Bethoven music 200 years later in a mix : am I joke to you?
No doubt Dk2 is one of or arguably the best in the series

Me too!! Awesomeeee
So have I!
Right?! Such a beautiful suggestion
I was today years old when I found out the spider could angle the web shots....just blew my 35 year old mind...all the hours on my SNES....great times
Welcome to the other side brother

This is actually so good it hurts. I've loved this game and its soundtrack since the day it came out. What you've done here means more to me than you will ever realize. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for this.
Thank you so much! This means a lot to me!!
Totally agree. This was the first game me and my dad played. I miss him. It reminds all the good times I had with him.
I want to mention how much I love the dramatic buildup in Lockjaw's Saga, it just feels fantastic to finally have those drums hit. Utterly moving.
Thank you! A friend of mine helped me to get these drums sound just right :)
THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! Finally a epic version of this track.
Lockjaw's Saga was one of my favorite tracks from the original game. On first play, this rendition started off a little slow and different for me, and I wasn't sure how to feel.
... but then THOSE DRUMS hit for the first time....

Way to shut me up
Forest Interlude and Stickerbrush Symphony are two of the songs that most marked my life, I'm here moved by their version, in tears as I write this comment. Thank you for that!

Flight of the Zinger is the Dark Horse of this game...hadn't really paid attention to that one until this.
I've listened to countless number of remastered / remakes / covers / remix... And let me tell you, this is one of the best work I ever came across.
This is amazing. I especially love how you put bits of Gangplank Galleon into Snakey Chantey
Thank you so much! Later I discovered that smash bros ultimate remix did the same thing :'D
The electric guitar in Croc Cacophony is stellar. It just brings the "villain" motif up to 11.
Mr. Zimmermann. You made it. You can't imagine what this game means to me. It's not just my childhood, it's my everything.

0:15 Nintendo Pictures presents: DONKEY KONG COUNTRY: THE MOVIE
The flute solo in Hot-Head Bop made me cry 😭
This was such a memorable soundtrack for me growing up and hearing it redone so well is truly epic. I’m blown away by the musical talent that was put into this.
I will pay twice or triple the ticket price to see a symphony orchestra playing this entire piece of art, melody to my hearings.
So many years hearing this music in my head. Now It's here.
I really love how pirate themed this game was, you can really hear it in this soundtrack
I am pretty sure I am having a mental breakdown. I am currently watching a bunch of computer animated monkeys run through a honey comb, collecting coins and bananas.

Dude, just cried with this amazing piece of art. Glad to found this in these dark times we're living. Just thanks!!! ♥
One of my all-time favorite soundtracks ENHANCED! Brilliant work!
Also, the middle to end of Forest Interlude is on point, brings goosebumps and tears every time I hear it! You made an already amazing album even more amazing!
I just started watching and the God Damn title screen made my cry
Listening to the beginning of Stickerbush Symphony: "This guy did a good job, I guess."
Listening after the drums come in: 😭
I am so glad the algorithm blessed me with this masterpiece, thank you sir, I rate this 11 golden bananas out of 10
Thank you so much :)
The fact that i cried at least three times listening to this. Wow. You really killed it. My inner child is fcking happy right now ❤
Glad to see the love for this game and its soundtrack hasn't died.

*Snakey Chantey is the best for those really happy moments*
This Lockjaws's Saga tune is a supreme work of art!
Congratulations, Ben!!
Snakey Chantey is my favourite track because of two reasons: It captures the essence of the first DKC game soundtrack so well and second it makes me feel nostalgic! But the entire video in it's entire is amazing! This game and it's soundtrack will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for all your effort!
Glad you're liking it!
@@BenZimmermannMusic What is your next project? Is the first DKC game soundtrack up next for a symphony remaster? I bet you can make it sound just as epic as this one!
@@JeffreyJohnny15 I have a plan for a shorter album. But no DKC for now.
@@BenZimmermannMusic Can't wait!
This is such a special piece of work. Thank you for sharing, and you deserve the world mate!
I'm so lucky to discover this amazing masterpiece, this should have been youtube purpose of existence in the first place, videos of hard working people sharing their hearts.
My favorite video game soundtrack of all time right here
listened to the full album. This is a wonderful orchestral arrangement! And the build ups and transition between each track really adds to the atmosphere of the DKC2 soundtrack! I love it!
Thank you so much!!
