Donkey Kong Country 2 - Arctic Abyss Soundtrack

[elastical9]

this game has died many years ago.

[Kain5th]

@elastical9 Meaning what? 

[julitosmalzoni]

Search in Youtube for the original song composed by Vangelis, Antarctica, that may have inspired this particular soundtrack. Thumbs up if you like it :)

[grasskoke]

I am hearing whispering in the beginning of the video

[danielegta]

i want die with this in background

[MannieFresh225]

immmm bout to make a remix to this today! Stay tuned everyone!!

[HenryEPM]

Childhood memories tears................. can you please upload this in an extended version?

[Muajalol]

RIP rare...

[surg3dg]

so im playing my super nintendo again xP <3

[knightforce01]

The sadest and most beatiful tune i have ever heard

[victor020203]

5 peoples need a SNES now!

[victor020203]

SO FUCKIN" BEAUTIFUL OMG T__________T

[nachel16]

I also like if you play on an emulator and put it in full speed (Frame) slow or fast is great!

[garmanx23]

i still have my SNES !!

[evan71290]

the dislike button can go to hell

[BohemianFrom1927]

I can hear someone whispering before the song starts...

...actually, I can hear the whispers the whole song... =S

[StephenSMega]

Wish they made games with soundtracks like these again :(

[dascorbino]

4 people are deaf.

[miguel1201234]

dude i want to cry with this song,:( how many memorys in my head now

[Xapam]

@miguel1201234

Indeed, I'm with you. When I hear the soundtracks of SNES games, mainly Donkey Kong series, I almost cry. The musics are so beautiful and the nostalgia factor speaks louder than anything else. Man, I just love to have this things in my memories, what a nice time...

[mezme84]

@miguel1201234 I swear they dont make music like this anymore

[helisala]

Ooooh! I remember pausing the game with this music so I could sleep. Ah.. Memories!

[nikobellikk]

****donkey kong foreverrr****

[servant38]

loved playing this games with my brother back in the '90 s. Where is the time when music, movies and games where so innocent but yet beautiful and fun.

[qbert401]

4 people couldnt afford the super nintendo

[Henkco]

@qbert401 Hey, neither could I when I was young :(

Don't see me hating either, I love this song...

[MessengerOfDreams]

@qbert401 I had to play all the great SNES games on a GBA. :/ But I love them all the same. Brilliance.

[DominarTyranT1]

wow the beginning reminds me Antarctica from Vangelis, 1983 oO"

[FibrousAcquiescence]

I'm a 90's child and I love this song.

[xcrazyperuvianx]

is it me but does anyone else hear some similarities to these synthesized songs to that stupid bruno mars chorus "the way you are"?

[PgXcTrackRunner]

@xcrazyperuvianx Yes it does hahah, google bruno mars just the way you are donkey kong country 2 and check out the youtubedoubler link.

[MariaJose89]

this makes me want to be a kid all over again... I would play donkey kong for hours!

[AbstraktCho]

This song was always awesome to hear. It's so mellow and relaxing. Unfortunately, you couldn't chill to much in these stages because it was easy to get killed.

[bbenjaminfan85]

@AbstraktCho Easy to get killed indeed!!! These stages drove me nuts, almost to the point of where I was chucking the controler saying "I don't wanna play this anymore!" Funny thing is, after about 5 minutes I was playing the same damn stage again because I couldn't get enough of this track

[Vianerd1]

I love this track to much. There's... so much emotion in it. Extremely powerful, even without lyrics. David Wise makes the best music ever, honest.

[dante87ish]

the clap sounds like ass slapping.

[JackZor23]

@dante87ish

Damn you i can't stop laughing now

[noszondi]

@dante87ish no...

[DwarfDaPluto]

@dante87ish HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Cvl23l]

at the start of this level you can use didie kong the fly you 2 the other side of the water so you can get 2 coins and 2 bananas.

[compsciguy]

@Cvl23l

Dixie Kong flies with her hair, not Diddie.

[Gronzlo]

... I seemed to have missed out on amazing time. Sometimes, you just wish you were older so you could experience these things firsthand.

[zhade33]

Ahh I miss playing this with my brother and sister

[TheDUDE101GOOD]

im literally crying remembering the good times b4 life started getting dumb

[MagpieMaid]

OMG. VANGELIS ARCTICA RIPOFF. O.O

SO ANGREH.

[KennethMoreland]

Dixie likes what she sees. ;D

[TheHomieStar]

@KennethMoreland They're cousins.

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

@TheHomieStar i heard otherwise

[bbenjaminfan85]

@TheHomieStar So Dixie wants to keep it in the family lol, what's wrong with that? j/k

[ProGamerJoey]

Awesome art, Awesome Music, Awesome gameplay. Other words, Donkey Kong Country series one of best games ever

[noszondi]

@ProGamerJoey not awesome gameplay, jumping on shit just isnt that fun anymore

[AuraScar]

@noszondi When was that ever fun? -_- lol

[NewPhoenixFilms]

@AuraScar It still is fun, considering there's not a noob 12 year old dropping racial slurs and f-bombs at you when you jump on him.

[AuraScar]

@NewPhoenixFilms Haha guess im lucky man

[danmagnus]

2 kremlings who disliked this just drowned to davy jones locker

[MrJb1998]

this song reminds me of the song in neutral chao place in sonic adventure 2 battle... hmmm...

[JSENNER83]

STILL a favorite game to this day!

[SOUTHWESTENZ]

i remember playing DKC1 many years ago, close to its release and thinking, man the musics great, but in DKC2 david really outdid himself, sadly i didnt get to play this masterpiece unit like 2000/2001 boy was it worth the wait

[anggoesgrr]

I second the sucking David Wise's dick.

[nofatchxplzthx]

@anggoesgrr you homos

[TheHomieStar]

@nofatchxplzthx You homophobe.

[TheHomieStar]

I'd suck David Wise's dick.

[trams33]

@TheHomieStar best comment ever

[berny88925]

@TheHomieStar I hope its girls saying this cuz this is NOT gay music

[Patney1]

@berny88925 you fucking idiot

[Charmolution]

@TheHomieStar

Would you swallow?

[NoelLozano]

Enguarde the fish

[DonMasakoni]

*_____*

[cppv1team]

@marioman574 that would be a good idea for this music to be back in donkey kong country returns then we all can here it in 128 bit that well be sooooo cool for this music 2 come back

[marioman574]

They should put this theme in DKCR!!!

[ROFLStudiosInc]

fuuuuuuuuuuuuu look at the cap of that monkey he is sponsoring Nintendo 0,0

I'm happy thats it a monkey actually because there awesome ;D

[zimThuet]

just played it from beginning to the end yesterday, still feels, looks and sounds the same as the first time back in the day, so great.

[mildbraindamage]

@zimThuet I never found all the kremcoins without getting 75 from the cheat in the beginning.

[stevensonicteam]

uhhh, i love this game.... its really inspiring.. <3

[MagronesBR]

Feels Vangelis, man.

[OmgNoobish]

They'd have to remake for the xbox 360. Rare is owned by Microsoft now.

[josh64128]

@OmgNoobish but the Donkey Kong Series is owned by Nintendo, so it would have to be remade on Wii but by another developer instead of Rare

[TheAlxxx]

@OmgNoobish Retro Studios is making a Donkey Kong Returns to Wii and it´s going to be awesome! :D

[dikpuelkcub]

@OmgNoobish no that would suck big time

[TR00PER1994]

they should start up makeing these games again no?

[DrDrystal]

@TR00PER1994

aren`t they making a new one? Donkey Kong Country Returns or something like that called..

i just hope it has the greatness in music and fun like its former titels

[rootbeer543]

Man I love this game. My brother had it before I was born but someone stole it.

[XxSmoothoperatorxX]

Power ballad Ftw 0.0 haha another nice song

[streetough]

I hated those starfish!

[kremty]

best game of the history 4 ever DKC1,2 and 3 SNES

[mchitti]

monkeys can breathe underwater.

[lostimpactable]

on my way 2 sleep i play this song and get the feeling 2 cry because its just that soothing, relaxing, and wipes my mind clear of every bad thing that ever happened 2 me

[IronDr4gon]

It's the 1st time i heard this ost because i never played dkc2 before, only the 1st. I think i enjoyed 1st 1 more. If i did played dkc2 it might able to bring more nostaligia

[iMpure1337]

whoever made this music in this game is is the best!! :D

[AnthonyKiedisOMFG]

Dixie is looking at Diddy's ass.

[Reofive]

The GBA version is better in my opinion.

[AliyahAlia]

I LOVE mp3iiffy it WORKS just google mp3iiffy.

[Kryanwan8]

The music is peaceful, but overall, I didn't like the second one as much as the first. The second one was very dark, and it felt the same in every level. It felt very emo and it threw me off. The first one was at least more bright and made me a bit happier playing it than this one did.

[Ashy5000]

"slapped on the ass"? the snare lol wat are u on its a droplet in water in a cavern it will echo making the sound u hear..

[SonicDestroyer12]

This is still one of my favorite themes from this game. :-)

[Yakuza951486007]

i wish rare made donkey kong country 4 for NDS

[Zvalgryn]

Such a peaceful song. =) wow memory lane ....brings back the joy, emotions,camaraderie playing this with my bros back in the day.

[pdogpearson]

sounds like ass slappage

[82drumhead]

That starfish is fuckin pissed. Maybe its cause he/she is looking up a monkey's butt hole?

[SuperRetroGamer]

MOST UNDERRATED OST?

[xJayyDog]

Yes

[troyhoward15]

This music is sadder than Aeris dying

[mopbrothers]

The picture looks too painful. Two Monkeys swimming without wetsuits in really fucking cold water (Diddy's even smiling). Unless you're from Minnesota/Canada, you have no idea how painful water that cold is.

[CookieMcWeaksauce]

Hey! Don't be partial to to MN. We've got plenty of really f*cking cold water right in Wisconsin, too!

[mopbrothers]

ok, there too.

[Goobster1920]

Well, they have fur.

[mopbrothers]

well i have a dick.

[Goobster1920]

Pffft, yeah right...

[mopbrothers]

and it's way bigger than yours

[Goobster1920]

How do you know I have one?

[mopbrothers]

Ask Diddy Kong........

[Goobster1920]

I AM Diddy Kong.

[shadowboy8456]

@mopbrothers is that a sterotype i smell?

[nhenry87]

Dixies checking out Diddys ass.

[nhenry87]

The snare in this sounds like someones getting slapped in the ass.

[Happytreefriendsfan3]

hahahahahahaha XD

i gave you thumb up for making me laugh so hard like an horse! :D

its ironical that its true XD lolololololololol

[troyhoward15]

Hell yea i like happy tree friends too!

[Yuguzzz]

can't stop thinking of that now whenever I hear this

[sirmoglok]

@nhenry87 nah

[MichaelJacksonFan000]

@nhenry87 LOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DaCode919]

Beautiful, relaxing, epic, wut more can u ask 4

[GoukiTehPwner]

Simply breathtaking! David Wise is clearly gifted at making fantastic music.

[yoshi934657]

I LOVE this one song its probably like my favorite song on donkey kong out of all of them

[idpaul]

I have this picture on my desktop

[brilbron]

I AgRee WiD U jckh2

[Stratume]

Original SoundTrack,mileygirly =)

[CaptainBones]

Diddy Kong is my favorite character. He and Dixie are a cute couple. This picture looks like underwater love. Somehow they love swimming together.

[Mileygirly111]

OST?

[JCKH2]

This song is great.  DKC2 was one of the most amazing games Ive ever played. I will never understand why they discontinued with the series. :(

[redrosefriendy]

What is Dixie looking at?

[linkhero55]

p

nes

[tripete720]

This game has a great soundtrack. I still rock this bad boy on my Super Nintendo when I visit home.

[JCKH2]

Me too!

[Acquaint77]

I found out something about this song that makes this one real special. It has a circular aspect to it, the likes I haven't come across before. Play the song and ask yourself..."when does the song really end?" You think the song ends at 2:58, but in fact that's the beginning! A faint cut out proves it

Finding this out made me appreciate this track more and so it edges out Forest Interlude for my #2 favorite song for this game. What beats this out is Stickerbrush Symphony (Bramble Stages)

[littleboy182]

got this on my ipod, Itunes, and got dkc 1,2,3 for wii and super nintendo. dkc 1: 101% dkc2: 102% dkc3: 90 percent...cant beat k rool- only 12 years old!!!!! love da soundtrack and the game. classic

[Tacnd]

God, this song takes me way back. I love it.

[juniorgod321]

dave wise rules!!!

[ericjraack]

this brings back memories, i used to replay the level all the time just so i could hear this theme again ^^

[KiiDizanagi]

Woah, this really takes me back... I miss the old school games :(

[JCKH2]

I know me too. They dont make games like these nemore. Games nowadays are about shooting people and taking money rather than going adventuring and collecting bananas or gold coins. The concept is so out of wack on some of the video games :\

[AkikoSuzaku]

Speak the truth!!!!!!! <333

[XenoXray]

lol

[chillskid]

LOL

[initial7driftman560]

LOL!

[zedrein18]

lol what porn have you been watching?!!

[muse1774]

my childhood memories no!!!

[ManuelDR1969]

i could imagine making some love in an igloo with this song

[Kryanwan8]

@ManuelDR1969 Making love in an igloo? I would say "It's getting hot in here", but that would be a lie now wouldn't it? :p

[CameronDubzWTF]

@ManuelDR1969 LMFAO! LOL DUDE IM NOT EVEN HIGH AND I SWEAR TO GOD U MADE ME SPIT ORANGE SODA OUT OF MY MOUTH WHEN I READ THAT LMFAO

[AxSxKxONE]

@ManuelDR1969 eskimo porno music lol

[CoolBreeze1128]

@ManuelDR1969 I made love with this song playing. My gf at the time didn't know what it was from and she loved this song. She was trying to get this song on her ipod. then I told her it was Donkey Kong Counrty music, and then she laughed at me a little!

[Deathofblades]

@ManuelDR1969 LOL! You just made my day!

[Agneau]

@ManuelDR1969

Psycho! the worst thing is that i can imagine it that too! lol

[curtithird]

@ManuelDR1969

yeah kind of like the terminator love scene

[omcasa21]

i cant see these two characters..and especially with this song (memories) sigh

i miss em'

[LNERMallard]

You can download SNES emulators and SNES roms, you know. That's what I did. :D Now I am enjoying the SNES version of all three games!

[p1zzeria]

I don't care if it makes me a nerd. This soundtrack kicks ass.

[WiiNutt]

It doesnt make you a nerd.

[ankai1]

this sounds like a song from a sex scene in a 70's or 80's romance movie. lol

[gibberish126]

LOL!

[Paperpockets]

This song is composed of pure win.

[CorruptedHero4321]

lol whos talking in the beginning??

[BowserandLover1]

My favorite Donkey Kong Country 2 Song. 5/5 So beautiful....

[Fishmon13]

Wow, the beginning reminds me of the Astral Observatory from Majora's Mask.

[GetBodiied]

omg this is the best sound ive ever heard, so relaxing, i can sit here all day and listen to this, brings back such good memories *tears* lol

[stickshiftshome]

This song is more like a water song. I love it!

[toakicalixton]

Fantastic ...

[SuperZelda64]

Such a snowy harmony. It's fantastic.

[WardereWardere]

EPIC!

[toakicalixton]

I love this song, number one

[archerios]

[w3sb]

i never knew that is was basd on another song!

[Darksoulgurl101]
