Welcome to the world of the Kremling Beach

[@Hatouken]

My daughter asked for this to be played in bed with me, thank you so much gangstahh for making this jamming ass beat...

[@TimetoCut]

Your choice of songs to use and the instruments used is very coherent. And you clearly took your time putting this together. There's obvious respect for both The Gorillaz and David Wise here... these are really good man

[@fxsnowy]

Thank you. You’re 100% right I have great respect and admiration for both

[@pettysnacks]

Need this whole album!

[@cfilmgames9906]

Yes, Rhinestone Eyes is my favorite Gorillaz Song. It would sound awesome

[@ElectricFury]

Hearing a song off my all time favourite album using a soundfont from my favourite game-series soundtrack is something I never thought about but feels super special. Amazing work.

[@fxsnowy]

Thanks!

[@VampyreBassist]

Same. When I was listening to this song for the first time, I was just becoming a man. When I beat Donkey Kong 2, I was becoming a teen. It's surreal because I'm just finding this song as I take my paramedic state test next week, so maybe this combination will be me turning into a medic? My adult dream may come true to this song.

[@ElectricFury]

@@VampyreBassist That's a funny coincidence. Good luck to you, I really hope it does come true!

[@VampyreBassist]

When I first got into Gorillaz, it was kind of a pivotal moment of my life. We had just moved back into my childhood home, I was to attend vocational school at the end of summer, I was beginning to have real life responsibilities at 16 and I was excited to be an almost adult. Things were so easy then, it felt like I had the world by its ass and no one could take that away. Mom got a DUI over the summer so I ended up driving more than ever because she couldn't and as a thanks, we would go to waterparks together. It was a blessed time as we were close but never really hung out like that. And I know she hated having the DUI, but it brought us closer together and gave me memories I'll treasure forever. I just wish I took more pictures and spent less time chasing girls. Now I'm 29 and the Plastic Beach album (or really the greatest hits album since that was my first one, but I watched mostly Plastic Beach music videos on KZbin) takes me right the hell back. I miss it so much. Maybe I'll miss being 29 too one day. I would love to like, live through my happy moments again, even if it was just a dream. The ability to go back and reexperience that period would be bliss...

[@sasquatchwizard]

I actually love this better than the original. This has a beautifully nostalgic and warm feeling about it

[@fxsnowy]

I appreciate that

[@theeverchosen1504]

I would listen to an entire album of this

[@stefanl6895]

Melancholy Hill is the hardest level in the original DKC2

[@fxsnowy]

Truee

[@EmilXOM]

I’m lying sick in bed and this tune is simply the most relaxing thing in the world right now. Bless you for the good vibes

[@kurtdewittphoto]

Feels like it could be the end credits song where you reflect on the adventure you just had while seeing screenshots of all your good times.

[@oraoraora7905]

DKC and GorillaZ combine in a way I never thought and you showed that beautifly, thank you.

[@TheAsb227]

the blend of nostalgia and melancholy makes me yearn for a time that never existed

[@TheDeeZieShow]

Legit my fav YT channel right now. Please don't stop, these are brilliant

[@fxsnowy]

I appreciate it! And don’t worry I won’t :)

[@zmax1muus744]

Lyrics: Up on Melancholy Hill, there's a plastic tree Are you here with me? Just looking out on the day of another dream Where you can't get what you want, but you can get me So let's set out to sea, love 'Cause you are my medicine when you're close to me When you're close to me So call in the submarines, 'round the world we'll go Does anybody know her? If we're looking out on the day of another dream? If you can't get what you want, then you come with me Up on Melancholy Hill Sits the manatee, love Just looking out for the day when you're close to me When you're close to me When you're close to me...

[@fedupN]

This is terrific and fits astoundingly well with the DKC2 vibe. Sounds like it could and should be in the game somewhere.

[@fxsnowy]

I appreciate that

[@GameGengo]

YES

[@Tinnsfr]

Def gonna cry tears of joy now

[@keavs4564]

Honestly, a lot of Gorillaz songs fit in DK. That’s like 30% of the reason I love them so much

[@alejandroredpine]

You managed to make me cry, thank you.

[@MaximumRabbit]

As I listen, I imagine sitting on the edge of Funky's Flights at the top of the castle, watching the clouds roll across the fascinating landscape of Crocodile Isle... One love from MN🖤

[@fxsnowy]

💯

[@simplord9788]

Mans doing Gorillaz now?! Music taste is on point! Now I wanna hear DARE, would be so interesting ahaha

[@fxsnowy]

I love dare I wanna do that song

[@delverdesol]

This is the coolest thing ever. I love all of your work!! I'm still waiting for a Radiohead song or better yet full album. OK Computer? :)@@fxsnowy

[@delverdesol]

BTW I love the MIDI visualizations. I don't know how the hell you did that but it's really cool. Congrats on this masterpiece of art, Don't ever stop!@@fxsnowy

[@mathias4667]

for some reason this song always remind me of playing DKC2 in my childhood, thank you for that

[@steventurous9000]

Broken would sound amazing in this soundfont as well.

[@janyequest713]

Okay, but, seriously, empire ants.

[@coolcatdrummer]

Do Empire Ants man. Would sound dope. DK2 sound font is by far my favorite out there

[@steventurous9000]

I second this

[@janyequest713]

Empire Ants is the fuggin best Gorillaz song ever.

[@fxsnowy]

I love that song. Considering doing the whole album

[@coolcatdrummer]

@@fxsnowy do it man. I'll listen to anything you do in Dk2 soundfont. You're the only one doing it right now and nothing comes close to Dk2 to me!

[@felipefuentes2082]

Oh please do

[@LoudNoob]

bruh, this has been on loop when I'm gaming for the last few days, cant get enough.

[@fxsnowy]

Hell yeah 👍

[@Juli_is_Online]

One of my favourite songs ever with the soundfont of one of my favourite VG soundtracks ever. Beautiful.

[@kylegonewild]

Got me cryin in the club with this one

[@JungleJimAdventures]

Lyrics: Oook ook! Ook ook ba-na-na, ook ook! Ook ook - ook ook! Oook ook! Ook ook ba-na-na, ook ook! Ook ook - ook ook!

[@ibruceeasily1728]

Just got this in my recommended. Finally KZbin is getting what I like

[@Masupups]

Such a fitting soundfont tbh. Maybe it's nostalgia speaking... 💕

[@wiresdonttalk]

Have yet to be disappointed by each of these! 😍

[@rusherboy7434]

Just discovered this. Thank you man, my ears truly appreciate it

[@michelgleeson708]

This is such an amazing cover, legitimately brought tears to my eyes. Two important parts in my life fused into one song. Thanks for doing this, it brought me immense joy ❤

[@Shmicah1235]

This sounds like the song that would play in an end credits sequence

[@alphamoose4385]

As a lifetime fan of both gorillaz and the dkc franchise i just wanted to day you always out a smile on my face.

[@fxsnowy]

Happy to hear that

[@realyasu]

[@ky0bu]

[@metroidpewb3445]

This is without a doubt the best song I've heard using DKC sounds ever since Aquatic Ambience from the 1st game. Amazing job!

[@fxsnowy]

Thanks!

[@gostreiver8036]

You have a rare and beautiful talent and I’m glad to see you recognized for it

[@toastyfrog9630]

[@torterra118]

[@garfoonga1]

Its awesome. Im just sad the monkey noises werent used in the intro for those high notes.

[@noiretsym]

I love your works ! Hope you gonna make more Gorillaz songs !

[@fxsnowy]

👍

[@rampantmutt9119]

Alright this was just a damn good idea.

[@binxboi7156]

Dude, hell yeah!

[@WaefreBeorn]

I needed this at 2:58am

[@unrealcrown]

1:20 is soooo good

[@ki11ert]

this actually works stunningly well, I was surprised 😂

[@IfYouInsist]

Right proper vibe, this.

[@RAMdomgamer]

Amazing song!!!!. Been on repeat non stop since I discovered your video.

[@fxsnowy]

Thanks :)

[@zparklebugz424]

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the DKC soundfont goes so well with just about any song no matter what genre... You are a truly brilliant musician, keep up the good work!💖

[@optiTHOMAS]

Wow. Absolutely magical! One of my all time favorite songs with all time favorite game styles! Love it! Just brilliant, man! 😁😎🥲👍🏻

[@fxsnowy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@MegacoreTeamJake]

literally sounds like the end credits of dkc2

[@waguinhom1152]

Man... I love! You're a genius.. So chill and peaceful, thank you for this!

[@MatterMadeMoot]

Beautiful

[@plplplplplpl7336]

Cant even imagine how empire ants would work

[@dope_vivarium]

I love the DKC sound fonts 😫 Instant subscribe

[@fxsnowy]

Thanks!

[@spaceghostcqc2137]

Ooof right in the nostalgia!

[@mathias4667]

[@fxsnowy]

I did. Thanks 🙏

[@chileanjewttv]

[@sabinastrash6813]

thank u so much for this pb is one of my fav albums ever

[@JonathanGomez-ro5uc]

Beautiful work man. Really love it. Being honest I'm a little high now and this music just feels so good 🎶❤️

[@Skribblez_Entertainment]

Oh this is good.

[@cgrigalus]

Thank you

[@afrolessninja]

Wish theyd remake the donkey kong trilogy like they did with spyro & crash & sprinkle secret Gorillaz themed levels in between the journey

[@StonyOnYoutube]

Man this is so good, i thought i was listening to a SiIvaGunner rip, amazing cover

[@fxsnowy]

Hey thanks 🙏

[@nullset2]

The main melody should had used the "ooh ooh" funny monkey sound in the DKC2 samples

[@howwesurvive767]

This was very soothing, great stuff.

[@TroyRubert]

Sooooo gooood

[@abandoned_green]

Rimestone Eyes pleeaaasse!

[@ragerodracir]

Good Work, DKC soundfont really suits Gorillaz. I made a version of Palstic Beach with the FFVII soundfont not too long ago.

[@DrynSarcastic360]

Great job

[@Yapsalot00]

this is such a bop

[@LaBeatrie]

Hey ! Thank you kindly for your work ❤ And by the way, what tool are you using to create those very nice animations from the midi files ? With the bananas moving around. I would love to use it for a future project 😁

[@FloRiLLAZ]

Wow this fits so well together! I can imagine a sky-level like in DK Land with that song. I also have an idea what song you could do next if you want: Headbanger by babymetal with the soundfont of Castlevania symphony of the night or the other similar Castlevanias. Because the Live Version with the intro of Headbanger reminds me of Castlevania.

[@cfilmgames9906]

Please do Rhinestone Eyes next!

[@snoozyloon]

Oh man this is SO GOOD

[@fxsnowy]

Thank you!

[@ChazyTV]

Amazing

[@LoudNoob]

Melankoly hill.

[@CoopDeezer]

Beautiful

[@Achilieswargod]

you are a god

[@Diavolo_Gieseke]

I have a request if I may... would you consider MGS2 theme song with DKC soundfont?

[@DougUnfunny]

DKC 4 end credits

[@samwyze64]

For some reason I always connected Gorillaz to RareWare. Not sure why.

[@EdenHellCipher]

Oh my fucking god. I am gonna wake up my husband to show him this.

[@FalcaoXTZ]

CAn you keep making for DKC2 music like this

[@fxsnowy]

I will 👍

[@gonzu88]
