Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambience [Restored] Extended (NEW 2020 MIX)

[@cjdig86]

I was 8 when this released and I’m 37 now. There’s a reason I love to see gameplay of these old games and hear the music just like this… it’s because each one of these games.. each one of these soundtracks takes me back to a moment in time. It takes me back to a specific time, and a specific person that I played the game with. Whether it was my father watching me play the game.. or my neighbor Andrew sitting next to me as we play through the entire game. It’s not simply nostalgia to hear soundtracks like this… it’s like we’re warping in a time capsule. Returning to that moment and reliving it. Remembering the scenery, the atmosphere, the smells.. it’s returning to that specific room, in that specific house that we played the game. It can be very happy, or very sad for some of us. These aren’t just games… these are little time capsules. These are part of our brain, part of our hearts.

[@Aurora-qn2dx]

[@gobbleswells2883]

I had a childhood friend who's been gone for a couple decades now, but these game clips and OSTs remind me of playing w him in mid 90s, when this game hit it's peak on SNES 😢❤❤

It takes me back to my childhood best friends basement. His name was Jesse. I haven't talked to him in over 20 years. I think the thing I miss about this is the fact that childhood responsibilities were incredibly small compared to adult responsibilities. I'd love to go back to having easy schoolwork being my only responsibilities.

He said Trent Reznor had heard his music from DKC1 and liked it, and that's when he knew he had made it as a musician.

[@PKSkyler]

@@avgyoshi3600 you really want some creeps from ocean games? Try playing Ecco the Dolphin. the original on Genesis manages to portray the mystery and horror of the depths very well, but the 3D versions on PS2 i believe, those ones look extra eerie because of the low draw distance.

[@crumpchump]

[@AngelicNoose]

I still play this game almost daily. Im currently 27, I normally dont play anything online with my friends alot, I just want to play this. I still remember being a child at our first home and playing this in the basement. Before I was aware of anxiety and depression, this was the meaning to my existence. I've lost alot of family, and friends over the years, but I will never lose my love for this game. Im so happy and fortunate to see all the other people in the comments who have mutual feelings towards this experience 🖤.

[@TheUnHEXable]

There's an infinite amount of good and bad things happening right now. Whichever one you focus on determines how you feel. You're only getting older and it's time for you to give back to the world. The sooner you can accept that things are changing, the sooner you can clear up your depression and anxiety. When you're young it's all about you receiving things like birthdays, Christmas, fresh experiences, etc. Now that you're older it's time for you to give back to the world. The existence of your life is whatever you make it. If you're looking for a change in this world, it starts with the person in the mirror.

[@slappyhappy6192]

This is spot on perfect it sounds so good. When GameXplain did their DKC 25th anniversary celebration week, one of their audio interviews was with David, and he said Aquatic Ambience he feels like was his best and favorite piece he ever composed for the series. He loved it so much that's why he re-recorded a new version for Tropical Freeze.

I feel like David likes Aquatic Ambiance a little too much, because he reused it a bit too often in DKC3 GBA and DKCTF. After the umpteenth reference to it in Tropical Freeze, it was losing its magic.

The deep memories of simplicity.... We will never experience these times again and it saddens me ever so.

[@MisterAHouse]

I could listen to that all day

[@evansgate]

Those little guitar screams in the background is honestly what got me to start playing. It always sounded so cool

[@travis7086]

You kill it with these remasters, find yourself some work my dude. I feel like you would make an outstanding ost for an indie game and beyond. You are obviously inspired by video game music, get out there and do your thing brother!

[@JamminSamMiller]

Composing for an indie game right now

[@brenocipriano8384]

It's literally one of those songs that you've LITERALLY never heard before, but somehow, it's extremely familiar I love it ❤

[@fnt00m30]

I'm here to just listen to this chill music

Donkey Kong Country had Amazing music, and amazing everything, really. Played it as a kid and this music takes me right back

Brings such good memories when I was 11 in 1996......

The DKC trilogy will always be my most fond gaming memories, specifically "Diddy Kong's Quest." The people from Rareware came from the astral plains to provide us with an insane soundtrack, as well as an amazing gaming experience. I really feel remorse knowing that popular companies have completely turned from passion. Every song so perfectly portrayed the feel of the level you were progressing.

Whoever made this for this game, not only poured their heart into it, but got completely possessed by music… they gave it their all. They bodied this.

The man behind the song was David Wise. Not only did he compose it, he also went through so many steps to compress it just right to make it playable within the SNES's 64kb audio chip without crashing the console (all the instruments in the song ate up so much memory) while keeping the song sounding good. That took real talent.

There's an awesome YT video of how difficult it was for this artist to create these sound tracks using Nintendos software. Amazing at that time in history.

[@BuckyUSA]

I would go visit my great grandparents house as a kid and sure enough pap was in his study playing this…he would hand me a controller…god does this bring back awesome memories.

[@annamarysswamp]

the most nostalgic track ever even though i played the game for the first time this year. it gives me so much comfort in this dark night while making me feel so melancholic too. much love to everyone who reads this. u matter and i‘m proud of u for making it this far already. let’s keep on going, take care of yourself

[@simonforsebrink6661]

this is one of the best video game music ever made godly song

[@GM360]

i found a remix of this song a few years back and i put it in a playlist i used to use for sleeping. it's just as relaxing as the original and it's pretty good. do love this version, so nostalgic. i remember my dad busting out the snes one day and letting me and my brother play. it was amazing

If nintendo makes a donkey kong movie, this should play over the credits.
