I always looked forward to the 3rd time this music plays in Glimmer's Galleon, after all that fire in Lava Lagoon to have DARKNESS instead sets the mood much better!
Hands down the best underwater theme song in any game. Maybe out of all level themes in general. The structure is just simply genious. Slow and steady start builds up to epic proportions and the drums create a hypnotic beat.
Hey everybody! I have released my new album 'Progenitor' which has electronic music inspired by great game series such as Donkey Kong Country. You can check it out and download it for free on my youtube channel if you're interested!
David Wise, You are my Hero for making the best Music that could ever be on a video game EVER and making it touch my soul in the best years of my life, my childhood. Thank you!
I love it! one of the few songs that I know of (not only in this game) where the bass instruments are the harmony! And personally I like the bass clef better :p
theres not a song on any of DK series that dont pertain to the stage it plays in. they all go with the scene really well. i always liked the explosion look wen you throw tnt barrels on DKC2.
When I hear this theme, I feel like I am trapped on a ship that has been cought in a terrible storm out at sea. And I am trying to find an escape route off of the ship.
@Fragolosi David Wise seemed to have been inspired by so many great songs. Bayou Boogie sounds like Phil Collin's song, and this one definitely sounds like the ending theme for the Terminator.
What makes thisoundtrack one of my favorites? The dramatic drums. Sorry, but honestly, it doesn't get better than this. This track completely captured the feeling of "you're in the cargo hold of a sinking ship and you have to get out". So intense! Love it!
Every time i hear this music, i always remember the level where you have to use the seal to cool the water down i loved that level and i love this awesome song.
DKC Has the best music!!!! 10 stars all the way and thanks for putting this on here.
You're welcome. :) Lava Lagoon, I loved that level too! Then there was Clapper's Cavern where you had to freeze the water to walk over it. DKC2 had such a cool level design.
@PeyserConley yeaa with that crazy invincible piranha fish chasing u. all of a sudden u hear his jaws clapping together that meant "uh oh" get the **** outta the WATERR!!!
@zeldafan134 i have a question since your a zelda fan. Many people say ocarina is the best game of all time. Do you think it beats dkc 2 in gameplay and soundtrack. Cause i truly believe nothing beats dkc 2 but thats my opinion and i did't play ocarina. So yeah am not gonna comment its the best game unlike people who played OoT that say its the best game ever just cause they think so. Tell me what you think
@zeldafan134 Man, it was 2 am, but when i read your comment i just had to go take out my snes out of the closet, plug in my cartridge and play untill i reached that level.
@zeldafan134 this song makes perfect sense for the hot water level, but for the first ship hold level its a wierd choice, since you are just swimming around with almost nothing to worry about
@illmatic28 i know my thoughts exactly! Stickerbrush Symphony, for instance, is a great song, but I think its overrated. My favorite song in the game is Forest Interlude. Then this song comes in second.
@UpwardsFallings Yeah, I love Stickerbrush, but there are just so many songs in the DKC series. Take Life In the Mines for example. That song is relaxing, mysterious, and just amazing, same with Aquatic Ambiance. Then there's this song, which is one of the more hardcore ones, and you get the pirate feel that the theme gives off, while also feeling many more emotions.
I always looked forward to the 3rd time this music plays in Glimmer's Galleon, after all that fire in Lava Lagoon to have DARKNESS instead sets the mood much better!
