Wow...I'm not a crying person but spiral mountain brought some tears to my eyes, remembering easier times...I was just 8 when my mom bought me this game for christmas with her hard-earned money (here in central america games were much more expensive than in the US). Not having any idea of video games (my mom), some random guy at the local game store must have recommended her BK being one of the top games at the time, and suitable for kids...so there I am, opening up my present, looking at a bear and bird being chased by a green witch on the cover. I put the cartridge on my 64 with excitement, not knowing that I was about to start one of the best experiences of my childhood. So thanks to rare for the amazing game, thanks to Grant Kirkhope for the incredible and unique soundtrack, thanks to this channel for reviving some memories, and thanks specially to my mom for giving me that present back in the day...now I'm just gonna text her telling her that, and that I love her ❤

[@KlindCardinale]

Man, same exp here... I started playing it at the age of 9 I think, and in Venezuela it was hard as hell also to find these cartridges. My first notions of the English language were with this game, everyday I played it with a notebook, English-Spanish dictionary and pencil, translating every dialog. If you want to watch a veeeery nice BK moment, (god I swear this is not spam or anything weird😂) check here in KZbin a video of a concert "Spiral Mountain - Banjo Kazooie ñoñoparty", it seems to be a festival. You will love it man. ❤

[@andre.hernandes]

same here, bro. so happy that we all had such a great childhood! :)

[@ComicalPlayer]

I'm not crying, you're crying 🥺

[@cshimp10]

As someone who literally can't go a day without some kind of music, that Spiral Mountain brought me to absolute tears. I don't know how you did it, but keep going man! Absolutely love it!

[@flajjin_lounge]

This man didn't just finish a single track, he orchestrated the ENTIRE GAME and it's damn well done!

[@JustinC._]

Oh the nostalgia, this was my first ever game and console.

[@DarkGruntMusic]

It was also my first console and one of my first games :p

[@dylanjackson2839]

Same dude! Went into Blockbuster with my dad, purchased a brand-new N64 with Banjo and 1080 Snowboarding!

[@divinenumerology7178]

Amazing Memory Great First Game To have. Your first rainy day staying home playing this was probably awesome, too.

[@kirbysuperstar5494]

That build up to spiral mountain, literal goosebumps

[@TheMJT4]

it was the choir for me, so good.

[@oefest]

it sounded like it would be in a Banjo Kazooie if it ever exsisted

[@ArcadeStunfisk]

The fact that you even went so far as to fully orchestrate Mr Vile's theme really is the cherry on top of the wonderful cake

[@doncristianugalde]

Dude, i just found this... I'm listening to spiral mountain literally crying. This is amazing!

[@marcinmichniowski286]

glad I'm not the only one ;)

[@jfun_1955]

I was about to say while this whole project is great I cannot stop listening to Spiral Mountain. It makes me so happy and makes me think back to the simpler times of being a child. 😭

[@realar]

Does it hold a candle to Smash's version though? It's hard to beat. *yeah, I'm crying too*

[@chall3nger507]

This is 3 years old and I am just finding it now? KZbin knows nothing of my desires. Absolutely incredible work mate.

[@SuperYtc1]

Brentilda’s theme is so underrated. Can’t even find sheet music for it.

[@ferr.6109]

Tooty's theme is so underappreciated, like it's such a cheerful and emotional arrangement!

[@DarkGruntMusic]

Agreed!

[@oefest]

tru, but I guess what does it dirty is that it's only in a cutscene

[@luanagomesgoncalves7985]

@@DarkGruntMusic it's their fault for not remixing these songs. For Misty in the late 2010's, more like Tooty 2.0. And the themes in order is... MY LIFE IS RUINED TO KEEP AN EYE FOR THESE SONGS!!! Colo de Menina Soul Sister O Nosso Santo Bateu and now this! Happened when I was much younger, muck like being a rival except Goh, but not in pandemic. She was missing until I was in high school, I'd better get scolding instead of studying, First Tooty, then Appa, now me? And as for Tooty for my maturity.

[@themoonlighthuntress7065]

My word....the sheer amount of nostalgia this hits me with is insurmountable... I wish I had found this sooner but man it really sounds like if the game ever got remade THIS is what it would sound like!

[@hidaruma557]

I remember going to the Video library (i mean stores like Blockbuster but here in germany) ) with my parents back when I was a kid. We rented this game and my sister and i were blown away by it. My parents later bought the game without telling us. It was a great suprise. Thank you for bringing back those memories. Believe it or not, i had forgotten about it. It instantly came to me, after hearing this masterpiece.

[@Lymirden]

Banjo-Kazooie is my favorite game of all time and the most nostalgic for me. I've listened to the official soundtrack on YT several times and when I came across this I was...hesitant. I was worried that the nostalgia wouldn't be there anymore or that the music would somehow be 'ruined' and sour the memories I have with this game. I am happily wrong with my hesitations. You have modernized the music from BK while managing to capture the spirit and happiness the music imprinted on anyone who plays/played it. This is nothing short of beautiful. Thanks for making more great memories for me.

[@EdinHasic]

Clanker's Cavern has never sounded more bombastic and industrial, god damn that shits good

[@DarkGruntMusic]

Hell yeah! 🎵

[@JaredRmz]

Oh yeah, Mr. Vile totally deserves this theme. I still get vietnam flashbacks of competing with that son of a gun

[@noggo4020]

Ever since this game came out, the music has been in my head almost daily (I'm 40 now). It was just so effing awesome. And you somehow managed to make that even better. Hats off to you! Thank you for doing this.

[@chicoposting2974]

Man, this must be the best orchestrated songs of banjo ever, great job!!

[@a1465]

That MMM OMG!

[@DarkGruntMusic]

It is spooky, but most importantly, it is epic!

[@DerPyromat]

I've been listening to those OSTs nearly my entire life now, but man I have to admit this version is on a different level. Great job mate, this is just utterly fantastic!

[@rezahydra]

We meet again with a blast, Yet this is the first game so we meet at last? That matters not for the fun we'll have here, So let's move back to the place we hold dear. Gruntilda rhymes aside, I've been a fan of your BT orchestra for years and just saw this posted on the reddit. If I could support you, I would give you so much, same with many others. Sadly I can't. That all said, this proves that your talents are certainly beyond average and I am glad to of heard them. Thank you, for everything. Here's to getting through all trying times, whether it be the current situation, or something down the road.

[@JustinADawdy]

Rusty Bucket Bay... what the heck, man? How was that so epic!? I am jealous of your orchestration skills! That was phenomenal. Love the way you included the counter melody at 42:23 most people usually don't give it the spotlight like you did. Great job!

[@DarkGruntMusic]

I imagined Rusty bucked bay as if it was a movie trailer music, hence the epicness and the big orchestration! Thank you! :D

[@franciscoulloa7424]

banjo kazooie is one of my favorite games on the n64 and it will continue to be, and how can we not forget the times we suffered in rusty bucket bay on top of click clock wood the last jiggy from rusty bucket bay is a headache for me and for everyone those who have tried to get it but there is a trick to it, what you have to do is be in the small part of the stairs where the code is with kazooie, lock the button a and advance in the part of the stairs that I already said, and in this way we will cross the ship and the part where the small door is, we must advance in that part by jumping with kazooie as soon as you see the jiggy you join and move forward until you get there (in case someone doesn't know how to get out because you're going to have to die and I don't think I said it but it's with kazooie that you have to lock the a button)

[@Kuriie]

Year 3 of me dropping a comment to say this is helping me through my work day! Cheers!

[@hazel2759]

The whole thing feels like a tribute not only banjo-kazooie but American composers like beirnstein and Copeland. Just had that vibe to me

[@nathanpalubski4802]

Banjo-Kazooie.....I love this game so much! Transports me back to my childhood when I was 9 years old -- pulling an all nighter with my buddies, eating junk-food, laughing and solving puzzles, collecting music notes, saving jinjo's and waking the next morning to do it all over again!

[@mishkasmusic]

*waving my glow stick in the air*

[@chameleonedm]

Undoubtedly the best arrangement I have ever heard of BK. How much I want to hear this with a live orchestra is unreal

[@DarkGruntMusic]

It would definitely be amazing to hear my creation played by a real orchestra!

[@vinnaki]

This is extremely underrated and deserves more aprecciation, you really inspire me and I would love to make music as good as yours! Im practicing and im slowly learning more!

[@PixelatedQ]

THE PREQUEL! IT'S HERE! I love this soooooooo much!!! The little notes moving around are wonderful!

[@mishkasmusic]

Oh look, a musical artist

[@Qwazin]

Bottle's Challenge and Inside Clanker are two gems that I seldom hear mentioned when talking about this soundtrack, but anytime they come on they fill me with incredible nostalgic sentimentality. Thanks for including them.

[@thebalzan9475]

Only on the first track and this is criminally underviewed.

[@reeseiannacone8074]

The nostalgia just kills me. And I couldn't be happier anyone made me feel this way. Thank you.

[@SuperStarGuy]

holy shit this is amazing. i mean, 30 tracks from this game fully orchestrated???? yes please. kudos to you my friend. also i love how you made mr. vile's theme sound like a boss battle or something.

[@andresg.6064]

[@alexanderallison584]

This. Is. AMAZING! Listening to this for the first time gave me the same feelings of joy and wonder that playing the game itself did. I loved the atmosphere in both of Clanker’s Cavern and Inside Clanker. Treasure Trove Cove, Freezeezy Peak and Click Clock Wood were all fantastic, and I love what you did with Boggy, Gnawty, and Nabnut’s themes! I cannot thank you enough for making such beautiful arrangements. If I could like this video multiple times, I definitely would. Great job!

[@menooneelse4430]

this is way too good to be real

[@Gameboy3DS]

Wow...I mean, just...WOW! Here I was expecting just the main worlds and the Final Battle, but there were SO many alternate pieces alongside the main worlds that it made this medley TRIPLE what I expected! Bravo Dark-Grunt, bravo! A masterpiece medley if there ever was one for the bear and bird duo.

[@TheUniqueImpact]

What the hell how do I have a video with more views than this masterpiece? This is stupidly underrated

[@TheWasserkocher]

I really love Rusty Bucket Bay! Thanks for your great work!

The beginning of click clock wood is so relaxing

[@Mrvanleeuwen]

6:00 this literally gave me goosebumps it’s so amazing!

[@previnwitana3576]

That Rusty Bucket Bay tune is orchestrated so well I feel like its a trailer for big Hollywood action adventure film. Well done!

[@DarkGruntMusic]

That's precisely the feel I was going for with this orchestration of Rusty bucket bay! Thank you!

omg, it's... amazing It's amazing how people still enjoying Banjo-Kazooie after too many years.And I'm glad that, being of this generation, I've known this game since my childhood. I don't always have words to describe the passion I have for this game, because seeing all the things the fans have done is really impressive. Good job man, greetings from Peru. Oh, and my favorito it's Click Clock Wood

[@torbensundheim872]

All the clanker ones were just perfect.

[@ClayDragon44]

The whole soundtrack was awesome! But I do have a top 3: -3rd Brentilda's Theme at the end was unexpected, loved the simplicity and sweet melody touch to it. -2nd Gruntilda's final battle was pure epicness, it was much more better than the original. -1st The Twinklies March. You put so much effort to make it sounds as cute as it could possibly be. It touched my heart and I got really emotional. Thank you! You just won another subscriber!

[@0ConkersBadFurDay0]

I discovered the one you did on Banjo-Tooie last week and I was already so happy to hear an orchestrated version of these tracks. It takes me back to my childhood when my uncle made me discovered these games. You did an awesome job, thank you making us living again the game through that ! I actually feel sorry for each person who didn't get a chance to play these games when they were children ( and maybe at the right time because I guess it would be still harder for kids nowadays to appreciate retro games)

[@luanagomesgoncalves7985]

@@DarkGruntMusic but this theme didn't have a remaster until you came out! It was supposed to be an old version to supervise me, but not today. Now it's time to school supplies to bring the six-members back! I heard of a woman making a plea for Tilibra South America but it didn't listen to her, prior to Jolie's success for deleting my searches on KZbin until May. What a explicit jerk it was! And yes, until Humba joins Tooty in Smash, Lie and Cleo were absent except for the late 2000s. So that means that my brain didn't evolve? Why? Only in late 2010s, what a shame. I had a dream that Banjo who raged over, pointing on the window behind his bed, on Loma's parenting for not participating in awards, while banned she was obliged to study instead of singing, but Kazooie came out in time to stop him. Every time I saw her disturbing Tooty from her sleep (as their house got an expansion: a bathroom and the little bear's room), and faced her brother while the breegull girl stopped him again, for my opinion, Banjo got strongly enraged on Monday (when Mother's Day was over) and then he told her that rage he did must be stopped. It was bedtime, so everyone shouls be sleeping without any problems. While continuing to rage about my life as a late youngster, Banjo himself still thought about Gendai being absent in my city, then Pampili for not having school supplies for over 30 years, and to remember that the older audiences (like me) didn't like than today, it was EspaçoLaser, but he still kept raging about it, but thanfully Kazooie gently stopped him for this due to my behavior (And my family thinks it's me even on Christmas Eve, who watched a video of a 3 year old boy getting coal for not asking a Paw Patrol puppy that's bizarre for a bear to hear! And for that, my mom thought it was me, but actually no. I didn't ask for coal due to the fact that South America is peaceful for not giving kids coal while it's summertime. Not on my birthday!). In the sequence, Kazooie corrected him for raging about XMAS for my life before 2010s ended, and when it was midnight, she calmed him down to sleep to not disturb his sister ever again, as Tooty herself finally got back to bed, he began to cry. Apologizing for his mistakes, Banjo almost thinks about Bakeru's attitude as the first day on his school, as he doesn't talk much, (not me thanks to positive effect of empowering women, me, Kazooie and Tooty were completely faulty as we are girls (as difficulty for identifying more in men).), this poor honey bear found out that everything is okay now as he and his partner joined Smash, later Sora (last addition in the roster). Everyone is sleeping, except for the trio.
