Donkey Kong Country 2 - Mining Melancholy | Game & Sound Remix

[@raghavpatel720]

I am so glad that Project Plus has this theme 🙏

[@voxelvillager5093]

This is in Project+, a hack of Super Smash Bros Brawl.

[@Geofcraze634]

The percussion of this cover makes this song three times better and amazing as heck. Nice work.

[@Madmetalmaniac42069]

Agreed, very Phil Collins

[@Lulles]

My favorite song in the entire DKC trilogy. Amazing job!

[@gameandsounds]

+Lulles Thank you!

[@pugnatrix456]

Mine too 😊

[@xCmOn3yx777]

Stickerbush Symphony, or Lockjaws Saga

[@MindJunkPictures]

mine too

[@CrystalDennisMusic]

I'm happy you did this too, because it's my favorite mining/cave track from the Donkey Kong series! If it were remixed for a newer game, I'd totally picture it like this: Such great steam punky atmosphere while still keeping the tone of the original. This was so amazing to listen to!

[@gameandsounds]

+Crystal Dennis Music Thanks, glad you liked it! I tried to keep the original atmosphere while working with modern sounds and adding some little tweaks. It is often my aim to keep the feel of the original songs untouched, because I want the listener to feel as if he/she was still playing the game.

[@MonaMagician]

i still come back to this on the daily.

[@Kuuribro]

This is great! I was just looking for Mining Melancholy remixes this morning after the regular one came up in my playlist, and I was happy to see your name come up. You sold me on your Rainbow Road and Phoenix Wright covers before!

[@Bigdoomtrain]

A very underrated piece of music and it was remixed splendid!

[@gameandsounds]

+Bigdoomtrain Thank you!

[@TimeWarpKing]

Man you KILLED IT!!! This is my personal favourite on the whole series, and you teared it to shreds. Someone needs to send this rendition to @videogamedunkey

[@gameandsounds]

Thanks so much! It means a lot 🙏

[@LivingVicariouslyHD]

Yes! I hope you one day cover the entirety of DKC2. That soundtrack is second to none.

[@gameandsounds]

+LivingVicariouslyHD That would be ambitious but really interesting nonetheless. David Wise is one of my favourite composers, and yes that soundtrack is just genius.

[@Storystein]

I'm so happy I decided to check this video out!! You are one of the few fanmade versions who actually get that drumming and feeling-of-loneliness across through the melody. Woohooo! I know what I am going to listen to on repeat all day :D

[@SonicGamerGirl2006]

Dude, this cover is ABSOLUTELY top-notch! This theme is already amazing enough, but hear this makes this song even more amazing! I love it! 😁💙

[@gameandsounds]

Thanks so much! 🙏

[@axelnapalm]

Donkey Kong Country 2 has quite possibly my favorite game soundtrack ever. Rattle Battle was my jam!

[@gameandsounds]

+axelnapalm DKC2's soundtrack is definitely one of the most memorable soundtracks of his era, and that's quite something to say since the SNES era had so many good soundtracks.

[@hatsuzukikai]

This is the best thing to see right after breaking an arm. Amazing music always cheers me up

[@gameandsounds]

+thegreatandpowerful Trixy I'm glad this somewhat helped, even if just a tiny bit. Hope your arm will get better soon!

[@Duhemsounds]

You've made a beautiful work on this theme, I like your version :)

[@ProfessorWess]

I just found out about this cover, and im blown away. The original is beautiful on its own, but this takes it even further. Great job!

[@gameandsounds]

Thanks so much for listening to it and so glad you liked it! What's the section you liked the most?

[@ProfessorWess]

@@gameandsounds Well, the percussion you used instantly said to me "this is going to be epic", and then part where the choire usually hums the tune, you go all out on the guitar. That part is probably my favorite.

[@KairuHakubi]

It's not often that I want to see your entire library after 20 seconds

[@zed1990fox]

I got chills listening to this... oh man so much memories with these levels...

[@SirWeeWahTheThird]

Whenever I find a video game song I like, you always manage to have one of the best versions of it.

[@MaxB3021]

Awesome cover! This and Forest Interlude are my favorites :D

[@gameandsounds]

+Max Bebekoski There's so many tracks I love in the DKC Trilogy, I can't even name them all. Let's say I love all of the Soundtracks :D Happy to know you liked this cover!

[@KYoung-kj7hr]

Great!

[@butteredtoast6069]

I truly enjoyed this cover. I shall share this 🔥🔥 🎵🎶😎🎵🎶🔥🔥

[@ChitoDP]

nothing for pokémon in his day? It is my favourite song of all DK Country, thanks :3

[@natejacobson4339]

I knew there was something great going on just when I heard the percussion (I'm a huge fan of unconventional percussion)--and I was right. This is pretty amazing.

[@antoniodirocca6202]

Beautiful music.

[@wesselschot2781]

Epic cover! Really great work. Could you do Lockjaw's Saga next? Keep it up!! :D

[@gameandsounds]

+Wessel Schot Thanks! Lockjaw's Saga is definitely a possibility! I love all of DKC2's soundtrack.

[@Dante_Rick]

This is brilliant. The game is brilliant. You are brilliant. EVERYTHING IS BRILLIANT! Also question, have you ever played Okami? I would give you a billion dollars just to hear any song from that game remixed by you. (Uepeker would be my choice tho)

[@gameandsounds]

+Dante_Rick Thanks a lot, happy to hear you liked this! Unfortunately no, I've never played Okami but it is on my list of games to buy. I'll take a listen to the track you suggested anyway!

[@Dante_Rick]

By god, please play it. That game is a piece of ART. It was my favorite game until Undertale came along. :P Either way, thanks for taking the suggestion :3.

[@tigeremblem]

Great work!

[@legendarystudioclips6018]

Man that percussion

[@PerrydactylShow]

YOOOOOOOOOOO! This is amazing! You gotta do some more DKC tracks, I love that music. Hopefully we'll see some more for Donkey Kong Month!

[@PerrydactylShow]

+PerrydactylShow still listening

[@gameandsounds]

+PerrydactylShow YO MAN. It's been a while, happy you liked this cover. Hope everything's good!

[@martinthemarine920]

Holy crap! This is amazing! As always, Im putting it in my folder for video game songs/covers. (Which at this point is mostly filled with your stuff) keep this caliber work your standard as always. I (as I imagine everyone else does) would appreciate a cover of something from shovel knight, Though you probably get this all the time. Thank you. (wow, these are becoming formal messages, jees)

[@gameandsounds]

+Maddox Sisson Thanks a lot for the long comment! Yes, I've been thinking a lot about making a Shovel Knight cover, and it will probably happen some time in the future. :)

[@asoparty5257]

very good cover

[@SimonDrummer86SD]

Very nice and wonderful. I love it this song real.

[@reidmartinez946]

Awe yeah, that was bad ass

[@gameandsounds]

+Reid Martinez thanks!

[@pugnatrix456]

Sounds so awesome! 😍 Love the original track and your great cover 😊 Too bad it's so short 😟

[@macdaddychene]

Reminds me of some of the music in the Timesplitters series which was developed by many of the same developers.

[@SimonDrummer86SD]

Very great... very wonderful. I love it this song... ! :)

[@J-MOGallery]

I wanted to purchase this song via iTunes or add it to my Spotify Playlist, but I don't see it anywhere on those. :(((((((

[@SensorDeejay]

0:04 nice

[@duoreview7492]

Great cover for a track I never hear mentioned! Now, how about a Doopliss cover from Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door? =)

[@gameandsounds]

+DuoReview Thanks! And yes I do agree this track is often underestimated. Man, everyone is asking me to make a Doopliss cover lately, guess I'll have to then :)

[@duoreview7492]

+Game & Sound YES! Can't wait to hear it! =D

[@ProtoUnleashed]

Holy shit dis is lit 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@pumaman7072]

I bet this song would go perfectly with the droid factory scene in Star Wars Episode 2.

[@AshtonVan-Guard]

i would give this cover 5 stars if i still could

[@nakateconroy]

Probably my favorite DKC song.

+Scott Flake Me too :) After Stickerbrush Symphony of course :)

[@gameandsounds]

+Scott Flake Its also one of my favourite tunes. Too bad it is kind of overlooked if compared to stuff like Stickerbrush Symphony.

[@TobyMinceraftGarageBand]

Are we able to use this in videos if we credit you? Trying to record gameplay footage of this game, and can only record sound effects due to frame drop when recording. This was an amazing cover!

[@stationshelter]

That's some pretty schweet percussion

[@gameandsounds]

+sethraptor Indeed! It's a new entry in my sound library.

[@Thecommet]

What's the tune at the very end of the video?

[@MegaDrive20XX]

Game & Sound! Tag me! I'm going bananas over Donkey Kong Country 2!!

[@たつみみくお]

Reverb and wah effects?

[@guitarded222]

mmm mmm mmmmmmm tasty!

[@bootortle]

Shoulda gone with a Pokemon song today desu

[@gameandsounds]

+bootortle B-but I made a Pokemon cover just before this one...

[@bootortle]

Game & Sound It's okay, DKC2 is my favorite game

[@Random-zk4kk]

You should do something Zero Escape or DanganRonpa.

[@gameandsounds]

+rusmas rudsteru Yeah, it's been suggested before! If you have any favourite tracks in particular go ahead and suggest :)

[@Random-zk4kk]

+Game & Sound Maybe Tropical Despair or A New World Order.

[@ahirunakamura9592]

I miss the bass line :(

[@Kapodaco]

Only dug about half of this tune. I liked the segments when your guitar was at full blast, but everything else just sounded too much like layers of noise. That's not to say it sounded uncoordinated or too much of everything, it's just that it doesn't really sound like your signature style of game covers. I always relish hearing that loud blare of the guitar, and while I also like when you use the guitar in general, the other synthetic or electronic instruments, I feel, take up too much of the track. It just sounds... ehh, in a way. Very muddy. I suppose it goes along with your personal taste, but since I'm not personally a fan of it, I'm probably not going to like it as much. An overall good cover, but not as great as some of your others.
