Wow. This is what making a cover is all about: being true enough to the original while adding your own twist - meeting expectations (the percussive sounds) while surprising listeners (the subdued slap bass). The effect is reigniting the fans’ love for the track. Brilliant work, Gab.
Your covers are always great but for some reason your Donkey Kong Country covers are just that one step beyond. Maybe it's my own affinity for DKC's music, I love it's captivating ambience, and you capture it beautifully!
This honestly might be one of the best covers you've done, at least in my eyes. I'm not a music guy, so I don't know the terms, but this just really hits hard.
A while ago, I started watching an art tutorial and this came on in another tab while I was unaware. I was like, "wow, this art tutorial has sick music".
...Gab I'm totally speechles, the atmosphere with the light, the warm strings, the insane bass and percussions with the softer guitar and melotica sounds..I have totally goosebumps! For me this is quit the hymn of all the water songs out there I love it even more than dire dire docks but you made me fall in love again with this song, amazing cover! 💙
This soundtrack captivated so many people because for generations video game music was bleeps and bloops (at least in most people's minds) and then here comes this ambient new-age soundtrack with 3-D rendered graphics that sounds and looks too good for a 16-bit system.
You deserve all your subscribers, with all the love they give to you. I would not trade theses peoples for 1,000,000 subscribers. I just discovered you, and oh boy, you are one of thoses who make TH-cam shine !
Holy moly dude, what an incredible rendition to this amazing song, it respected the original essence while preserving your identity on your acoustic setup. Also wow, it's so fitting for me as today I'm having my ecclesiastical Wedding and it helped me soothe the nerves :D Think that will make me remember this cover forever
Wow, instant goosebumps, relaxation, and childhood nostalgia! :D You did an amazing job, Gab! The instrumentation was spot on, everything sounded just right, and the added water droplet sound effects were very effective. I bet you'd make David Wise proud! ^_^
This video showed up on my recommended feed. Today's my first time seeing one of your videos, and I'd say that I am very impressed by your arrangement of this classic. You just earned yourself a subscriber, friend!
Omg how did you get those synths so perfect at the start, they sound so much like the original. I had to listen to this one twice, I really love the bass part in the middle too!
Damn dude, this sounds amazing! The acoustic guitars sound great, the planning is extremely effective. The bass runs and extra details are great. It’s really cool to see the piano take a more highlighted role in your covers since you started learning, and this is a fantastic piece to demonstrate your skill in piano. I always love your acoustic covers, this one especially. Amazing cover!
fantastic sound and arrangement *double upvote for the bass action*. but the Videography was actually what captured my attention haha Really nice job! a well-earned sub :)
Bro! I love this! It's always cool to listen to different renditions of Aquatic Ambiance and the nice base groove you added to the track really brings out more of the ambiance! Nice work :D
it's been a while since i've seen your videos, gab. I would like to apologize for that c; imma hear all those bangers that you've uploaded. Thanks for doing what you're doing, stay awesome!!
Very good recording, bro! Amazing mixing, impressive sound and great playing :) Also the visuals are very appealing and obviously the composition is a great choice! Not to be too negative, but potentially I think I'd have liked a bit more of a 16th - note feel on the piano, but maybe that's just me. Keep having fun, you definitely know how to create amazing recordings with cool visuals :)
Well done dude.... still waiting for you to tackle grassland groove from tropical freeze since no one else has dared to try lol. I think you could pull it off.
I love this! Music doesn't have to be rock-like to be good. 😄 Fun fact: the melodica reminds me of the main song of FFVII Remake in an instant. Guess you'll have to do that one now. 🤷♂️😅🤔
I probably should have said that a couple of years ago but Nintendo needs to offer you a contract you might be the first one I've said that to in regards to video game covers and I listen to a whole bunch of them thank you for posting your amazing work and I still think you might be the only one who can pull off a grassland g r o o v e s from Tropical Freeze I still haven't seen anybody do a cover for that one but I think that you can
Oh wow I didn't realize I made the grassland grooves comment 2 years ago I just read it LOL it must be a sign hopefully you see this request again after 2 years
Like a river, his music flows gently to the beat.
Simply perfect.
Thanks Dinnick! :D

I'm really glad to hear! :D
dang that ending hit me hard
One of the most impressive songs to ever grace the SNES. Love the cover!
Thanks!!
Your channel needs to be bigger. I don't know any other TH-camr who can recreate Nintendo music like you
It means a lot!
Check out ppf. Trust me. The quality is comparable to this, which is saying something
FamilyJules is quite good too, but I'd have to agree, this blokes channel should be bigger, everything I've heard here has been top notch!

This both looked and sounded great. That bass line worked so much better than I expected.
Thank you!! :D
Gabo damn you keep surprising me! You've come a long way and nobody gets as pumped up as you do when you play instruments
It means a lot! Thank you! :D
