Most Atmospheric SNES Music: #2 - Water World - Donkey Kong Country 3

Hey everyone, once again I must apologize for being gone for so long, I feel really bad! I've been very busy these past months and this has just completely slipped my mind. Anyways, sorry again and I promise to do better. Now onto the countdown!

I know I've raved previously about the music in the Donkey Kong Country games and you're probably sick of it all, but really something must be said about the incredible effectiveness of these themes in providing total immersion. Probably the best examples of this are the water level themes, which are excellent across the series. This one (from the third game) couples eerie silence with rising panic so well, you can almost see the light fading as you slowly descend beneath the water's surface.

@OmegaMetroid93 The other one that I liked from DKC3 was the Mountain stages. Nice bass / percussion.

I feel like I just entered the abyss

It's dark now; no light

There are things swimming around me, but I can't see them

Wait, there's light, it's coming from a man made machine

Scraps of the oceanic life lies beneath me

While weird and disturbed lifeforms surround me

*so yea that kinda of feeling when I hear this version*

@CrystalVortex I agree, the aquatic ambiance would be my top choice. It's very epic and there are even some good remixes of the song.

[P4W3R]

I hate this song.
