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

[@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.

[@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!

[@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

[@sasquatchwizard]

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

[@fxsnowy]

I appreciate that

[@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...

[@theeverchosen1504]

I would listen to an entire album of this

[@oraoraora7905]

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

[@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...

[@alejandroredpine]

You managed to make me cry, thank you.

[@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 :)

[@Tinnsfr]

Def gonna cry tears of joy now

[@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

[@stefanl6895]

Melancholy Hill is the hardest level in the original DKC2

[@fxsnowy]

Truee

[@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

[@GameGengo]

YES

[@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]

💯

[@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.

[@mathias4667]

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

[@wiresdonttalk]

Have yet to be disappointed by each of these! 😍

[@kyobuuu]

New fav music channel just dropped Really great stuff!

[@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 ❤

[@realyasu]

you deserve so much more attention. This is awesome!! Great job

[@fxsnowy]

Thanks! I really appreciate it

[@TheAsb227]

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

[@StevenAvila93]

please keep doing it. love the combination of the styles

[@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!

[@steventurous9000]

Broken would sound amazing in this soundfont as well.

[@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!💖

[@schneblen]

Please please do more Gorillaz. This is what these were building to for me 🤣 it's the perfect crossover. You're fantastic at this!

[@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

[@rusherboy7434]

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

[@HandheldGamer1991]

Wow just wow. If you told me that this was a cut song from any of the dk games i would belive you!

[@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

[@VDounDu]

RHCP, MF DOOM, and Gorillaz?, really great work. I always wanted to do One Beer with this or Mega Man X's soundfont

[@noammkw3770]

and dont forget RATM!!! this guy knows his stuff, clearly a 90s kid hahaha

[@ibruceeasily1728]

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

[@WishQuitting]

Wow this is great. Can’t imagine how cool Rhinestone eyes or Broken would be with this style 😳

[@keavs4564]

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

[@noiretsym]

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

[@fxsnowy]

👍

[@waguinhom1152]

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

[@BLACKout_TF2]

yes!! more gorillaz dkc2!!! :D

[@unrealcrown]

1:20 is soooo good

[@GrayderFox]

Dang man, you get these to hit real well.

[@Masupups]

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

[@idanx4520]

This is the best version tbh... I really love it

[@Tedsunga]

My god man, you just can’t be stopped

[@sabinastrash6813]

[@toastyfrog9630]

Cant get enough

[@dope_vivarium]

I love the DKC sound fonts 😫 Instant subscribe

[@fxsnowy]

Thanks!

[@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!

[@torterra118]

wow. seriously stunning

[@RAMdomGamer]

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

[@fxsnowy]

Thanks :)

[@binxboi7156]

Dude, hell yeah!

[@MrMuicego]

My man, you are a legend!

[@fxsnowy]

🙏

[@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 😁

[@gostreiver8036]

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

[@fxsnowy]

I appreciate that 🙏

[@ki11ert]

this actually works stunningly well, I was surprised 😂

[@howwesurvive767]

This was very soothing, great stuff.

[@bobsaget832]

Liked added to my playlist and immediately rewound it back after first listen

[@bobsaget832]

Oh and subbed

[@pedjamigrant7189]

This is the ultimate emotion

[@kylegonewild]

Got me cryin in the club with this one

[@thrillho4849]

I have listened to this an unhealthy amount of times man...

[@spaceghostcqc2137]

Ooof right in the nostalgia!

[@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.

[@ragerodracir]

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

[@BongoSeason]

Right proper vibe, this.

[@JonathanGomez-ro5uc]

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

[@sebastianelegrand8980]

Omg if this was in any of the DK main series games I wouldn’t of ever left the level

[@garfoonga1]

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

[@StonyOnYoutube]

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

[@fxsnowy]

Hey thanks 🙏

[@WolfgangPonce]

because not every hero wears a cape, right?

[@MatterMadeMoot]

Beautiful

[@rampantmutt9119]

Alright this was just a damn good idea.

[@snoozyloon]

Oh man this is SO GOOD

[@fxsnowy]

Thank you!

[@Yapsalot00]

this is such a bop

[@Shmicah1235]

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

[@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!

[@CoopDeezer]

Beautiful

[@cgrigalus]

[@afrolessninja]

[@plplplplplpl7336]

Cant even imagine how empire ants would work

[@Smoerrebroed]
