If you mean "new" OST, then yes this is definitely the best. If you consider Bravely Default's OST as counting as this year, then, I disagree with you. Nothing can beat that OST, at least for me. That soundtrack had way too many epic sounding pieces. The final boss themes alone, trump this one.
***** I for one, care, and you should too. I might not agree that it is better than Tropical Freeze, but I still love Bravely Default's track to death. I listen to many of both OST's song regularly, and I respect SDW's opinion on the matter.

Agreed, the other parts fit in to the level and make for a good gameplay experience, but listening to the track alone makes me wish that rad tune carried on for a bit.
This is probably my favorite track. I specifically returned to this level a few times just to hear the music. EDIT: I also really love Scorch N' Torch and Seashore War.

OMG, David Wise, I can't take this. How is it possible for you to make this many exceptional tracks for one game soundtrack. The SNES games' music was great but there are far more tracks in this game and nearly everyone of them is top tier.
Amazing, perfect, mesmerizing, emotional theme. I am permanently getting goosebumps all over my body. Honestly, never played a DK game. Tropical Freeze was my 1st one ever and I can say that this is by far THE best platformer I have ever played.
Rick Dryden DKC2 has my favorite ost of all gaming ironically and is still the best DKC in my eyes. This post makes me so happy since it brings a modern tone to what made DKC2's score so amazing.
I disagree with the posts saying DKC2 was the best, ironically enough (see profile pic). Second best? Easily. But Tropical Freeze has usurped the throne as #1.
I was an idiot on this stage. I didn't think for one second that I could bounce great distances from those smaller spring platforms with the Hand Slap.
***** This music is from the sixth level, which is also based on the sixth world from dkc returns. I was just trying to be clever. (which I clearly failed at)
One of my favorite tracks from this game. I'm surprised that for each level that represented one of the worlds from Donkey Kong Island, Wise didn't remake a track from the respective worlds, changing it accordingly to make the music sound icy and all that good stuff. Either way I'm glad we mostly have original tracks for world 8, but there's so few for this world compared to the others (only 6 despite the presence of 10 non-boss, non-temple levels)!
I thought the original DKC Returns was very straining on the eyes, though the visuals were gorgeous and the levels were indeed dynamic. But after hearing this tune, and seeing the nature of the new game, I am more than considering buying. This song alone is amazing, reminds me of the DKC tracks of old.
I don't know how Returns was straining on the eyes for you. But if that's the case, Tropical Freeze will be even more straining on the eyes because there's even more detail to the visuals than there was for Returns.
It's been just about a decade since I preordered this game. After all these years, I think I can finally say that *this* is my favorite track. Masterful, chilly, crisp elegance.
best song in the game imo and in my top 5 for the series overall. the guitars and woodwinds are just too perfect! bonus points for the Snowmad leitmotif loitering before the minute mark.
Because your not a native speaker of English let me help you out, A better way to word your comment would be This song makes me cry I truly like this game
The Primal Rave tune from DKC2 at 0:18 to 0:24 is my favorite detail of this track. David Wise went far when it comes to reference his masterpieces with this song
This game seems to have very many ambient and atmospheric tracks. Many people prefer Returns soundtrack but I like this one better. It sounds more traditional because atmosphere was always something that Donkey Kong Country games were about.
A very underrated gem, this one.

People ever forgets Kenji Yamamoto. He create the Metroid and DK Returns soundtrack, but no one speaks his name. Anyway, David Wise is a genious.
Its so cool that his inspiration from "Hip Tanaka" where the noises of the game come out at you made its way into DK
apparently he was more of a ost supervisor than the composer for this game
Kenji Yamamoto's contribution was more of a supervisor than a composer. He worked on some tracks in this game such as Boss 3.
I with they had run with the melody of the first 45 seconds instead of shifting gears. That beginning was BEAUTIFUL.
Agreed, the other parts fit in to the level and make for a good gameplay experience, but listening to the track alone makes me wish that rad tune carried on for a bit.
the 45 second snowmad theme echo is my favorite bit...
This is probably my favorite track. I specifically returned to this level a few times just to hear the music.

these 3 and amiss abyss are some of my fav pieces of vgm. david wise went above and beyond with this ost

Honestly, never played a DK game. Tropical Freeze was my 1st one ever and I can say that this is by far THE best platformer I have ever played.
I know this is five months late - but if you ever get a chance to go back and play the original Donkey Kong Country games, 1-3, you won't regret it.
Dkc 2 is one of my top 5 favorite games of all time, and I've been playing for most of my life. definitely give it a shot if you can

Same here, m8
This soundtrack is slept on. I almost never see people cover it on TH-cam, even though almost all the tracks are great.
Hard to top perfection.. But yeah I'd love more covers
the soundtrack in this game will probably give it a sort of immortality. Love this composer
It did
Damn right. David Wise’s music will never age

Lol same

Thestankfish AKA Doge the only sixth world.
***** This music is from the sixth level, which is also based on the sixth world from dkc returns. I was just trying to be clever.

Uh no. Cliff is the sixth world. Forest is the fifth world
This world is making my heart fly... lol
this stage surprised me. It was so difficult and beautiful
2:24 :,)
I gotta be honest, this might be my favorite video game song of all time. Looking back, without a doubt, the best video game ost ever made.
Wait... there's something wrong, where's the game over theme at 0:13?
I thought I was the only one...
I thught it was supposed to be at 0:08 ....
Is the level that hard? This joke must be flying over my head.
Joshua Johnson yep, one word
Snowflakes
@@pascal__vhs are they big ones?
If you listen carefully at 2:17, you can hear Aquatic Ambience/Water World(DKC3GBA). ; )
Arch boss
This is one of my new favorite DKC tracks.
2:50 I'm getting a massive Phendrana Drifts vibe.
metroidman97 Kenji Yamamoto did Prime's OST, he also worked with David on this OST.
Metroid Prime 4 BABY! I can see it, Metroid Prime has the best music.
@@VTM9126 I'm worried about prime 4... It's probably gonna become yet another collectaton
The Snowmad's Theme in this is beautiful!!!

I listen to "My Mix" not expecting this and I get chills
Pun intended.
Unoriginal Username no, not really xD
I’ll never understand why _DONKEY KONG_ of all IPs would have such amazing music
Jungle jazz
Because Monke
You can thank David Wise for that. One of those scenarios were the composer was given liberty to define the sound
Two words David Wise
Is there any Nintendo IP not known for great music?
This soundtrack makes my chest so warm... it's just so genuine and wonderful

I don't know how Returns was straining on the eyes for you. But if that's the case, Tropical Freeze will be even more straining on the eyes because there's even more detail to the visuals than there was for Returns.
The moving into the background / out of it / was very sickening to me, but now the levels seem more entirely '2D' focused
@@Bizzozeron I personally thought those were cool, but, you do you. But do be prepared for unusual camera angles.

I love how they put in the Snowmad's Island Theme in this! :)
I am Japanese.

It's Forest Interlude meets Phendrana Drifts. What's not to like?
hey (-.-)
ahh phendrana drifts, one of the gods of videogame music
XD Is True!
And they had a pretty baby
Forest interlude + phendrana drifts + homecoming hijinx snowmads theme = forest folly
Should have made a video game music grammy just for david wise for this soundtrack
Forest Folly from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is the only song I like and also kinda wish they have this specific song on spotify
Beautiful piece by David Wise to showcase the wintery setting of the forest - I love it ❄️❄️❄️
Holy crap this song gives me goosebumps, it feels like a mixture of all the songs David Wise has ever composed for Donkey Kong Country
Another ambiental song. One of the best I've heard so far.
Best OST. of the last decade
This is basically the modern version of Stickerbrush Symphony / Aquatic Ambience and I love it
Sounds like Forest interlude from dkc2
Has anyone ever told David Wise a lot of his music in the DK games is also great for meditation?
The Primal Rave tune from DKC2 at 0:18 to 0:24 is my favorite detail of this track. David Wise went far when it comes to reference his masterpieces with this song
This is better than Most Game Soundtracks Today
This is just beautiful!
This theme also fit the secret level as well as Forest Folly in my opinion
This really made me think it also took a small bit of inspiration from Mama Bird Donkey Kong Country 3
Beautiful piece
I love playing this track in my room to really emphasize the Wintry vibes of my room’s decor.
I never regretted dying in this level.
Best soundtrack in DK series ever!!
what a legendary soundtrack
もうほんと好き😌
Wiiの時からずっとやってたの懐かしいなぁ。
How can a song be so chill yet slap so hard
First part is a bit of a Frozen Remix of DKC2's Web Woods (Forest Interlude).
This song is just beautiful. So peaceful. David Wise is a master.
What a calming track.
this is amazing
This was one of my favorite music levels
Snowmad’s island theme gave me chills
❤❤
This one is a amazing song definitely a beauty😁👍🏼❄️
This BGM is my favorite music because it is so beautiful. And I want to play this game!!
If there was one word to describe this theme it would be beautiful
Reminds me of Gloomy Gulch.....or whatever it was called in DKC2. :D
Amazing song.
David wise YOU GENIUS! I’ll tell ya something, I really hope he plays the music for the next game.
My favourite song in the game
I really enjoyed listening to Homecoming Hijinx calmer. 0:45
Such a beautiful level/atmosphere/music in normal mode, but one of the hardest levels in hard mode. -.-
My personal second favorite track- behind Homecoming Hijinx.
Of course, the hardest level has the most calming music
At least the snowflakes are bootiful
This song sounds like it was being performed in a choir.
My suffering in music form right here
Oh my lord it's Forest Interlude!!!! This is so beautiful!
This is what it sounds like when the echoes of Forest Interlude freezes out: it becomes Frosty Forest!
as mush as i love this track, i personally belived it would have been the perfect stage for forest interlude remix.
0:47 Damn ❤
The Homecoming Hijinxs mixed in here gives me chills.
Other than that one minecart level, This is one of the donkey kong tracks ever
I love that level music. I played that game on my nintendo switch.
7 MINUTES? I'M IN!
god there is just so much emotion and spirit put into this soundtrack. It speaks to me on a spiritual level
Is this a remix of Forest Interlude? I always wondered that because it totally sounds like it
It tis
Hooold on is that Forest Interlude I hear? David Wise’s favorite track from DKC2?
Best song of the game anyone?
Metroid Prime Phendrana Drifts + Donkey Kong Coutry Returns Forest = Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze Forest Folly with Homecoming Hijinx.
Phendrana drifts + forest interlude + homecoming hijinx = forest folly
reminds me some of the music used in PerfectDark near the end
Permafrost from Static Shock: You...you know my name?
(This song sounds like her theme from the show)
a melhor música de um game!
Damn it. Now I’ve seen the beauty of this game’s track and I haven’t even played cause of anxiety.
Listening to this makes me remember how hard that level was
I love this one and I wonder why it isn't mentioned much
GOD DAMN THOSE SNOW FLAKES
David Wize is like the best of Brian Eno, Aphex Twin and Four tet
Maybe earlier (ambient) aphex twin rather than the later noisy/crazy stuff, but awesome comparison nonetheless
I found another nod to the GBA DKC3 soundtrack: at 2:17 it sounds like Arich's Ambush.
Can’t find this on Spotify nowhere😭💔
Ever tried SoundCloud?
2:16 - 3:30 is my favourite part
Some parts sound like Forest Interlude
This game seems to have very many ambient and atmospheric tracks. Many people prefer Returns soundtrack but I like this one better. It sounds more traditional because atmosphere was always something that Donkey Kong Country games were about.
Many people? I've not found a single one that prefered returns ost over this.
Returns has some good tracks, but this game's music is very memorable than Returns'.
Returns soundtrack was basically full of DKC1 remixes.
"Many people prefer Returns soundtrack"
Uh, no, actually, no one does...
It would be perfect if you can see the spiders (5-8 DKCR) in this level. Anyway theres a little part of the music in world 7 in the track
This is a remix of forest interlude and the snowmad theme!
......Okay this settles it- I'm getting this entire soundtrack onto my kindle some way or another..... when I find my charger.
1:45 sounds like the Freezeflamegalaxy Theme from Super Mario Galaxy.
