Dem maracas?

Dem maracas, son. That and I just adore the mechanical, mysterious and almost eerie tone of it all.

And, holy crap at 6-2. Wise is back with a vengeance. I was afraid he might not live up to his past endeavors, but I'm left proven wrong and in musical ecstasy. Only Wise can make Donkey Kong feel like an emotional joyride.

 

[Oidisco]

Busted Bayou is still by far my favourite song in the game. Perfection

 

[MrBadger]

The Rocketbarrel theme has been posted as well, likely taking place in the Cave area of DK Island. Soon we shall have the music for the Forest, Cliffs, Factory, and Final Boss levels.

I was on the fence whether I preferred this version or the original from DKCR for a while. I think hearing a clear rip's made me like this version more, but the original is great. Best track in DKCR.

 

[Calamari41]

Nintendo should be working Wise all day every day scoring their entire lineup.

I did not hit her, it's not true, it's BULLshit, I did not hit her

I, did, not

6-2 -- Prepare to Cry Edition

Seriously... One of Wise's most beautiful pieces... ;_;

Wow. I'm almost tempted to get this just for the soundtrack.

I haven't even unwrapped DKCR yet!

It seems like it would hard to go back after playing Tropical Freeze. You should try it. It opens up kind of standard and slow like most Nintendo stuff but it ramps up in difficulty so fast and demands you to master the move set quickly.

I hope TF doesn't spend too much time with the teachy stuff. I want to be screaming by the end of World 1.

 

[Voliko]

In a Snow Bound Land remix? With actual DKC2 samples!? I think I've listened to enough tracks, got to save that for the game.

Well, I was kind of turned off by the 'waggle to roll' mechanic, so kind of forgot about it in the backlog.

....... Actually, come to think of it, I'd probably unwrap Metroid Prime Trilogy before I get to that, honestly.

...........

(don't kill me, Retro fans! At least I bought the games!)

 

[Kinsei]

6-2's theme is amazing but my favorite song is still Irate Eight (Chase).

Hey, if you get Tropical Freeze for the soundtrack, you'll discover the platforming is equally good, and then afterward you'll have a whole "level pack" to explore in Returns, so it all works out either way.

Understandable.

A remix of a certain other retro track that we've not heard yet.

In a Snowbound Land

Sounds absolutely glorious.

I hear it, I hear it ;_;

 

[Kodaman]

So.. the competition for the second best OST this year it's gonna be interesting...

 

[M-PG71C]

Absolutely amazing, never thought I would see this day. *Sheds a tear

 

[Neiteio]

Level 6-5

Hit the 3:50 mark, time for a spiritual journey

 

[Neiteio]

Level 6-5

OH, and Level 6-6 -- a short one.

 

[chronos4590]

6-5 and 6-6 WOOOOOOOOW *.*

 

[The Xtortionist]

And if you guys think 6-5 is good...just wait for 6-7

 

[Llyranor]

Wow, very nice. Does every single level have its own track?

 

[nkarafo]

I'm pretty impressed by the quality and SIZE of this soundtrack.

 

[MrBadger]

I'm pretty impressed by the quality and SIZE of this soundtrack.

Me too, you'd think a game like Tropical Freeze would be prone to re-using the same tracks for similar themed levels like Mario and the old DKC games did. And while I'm sure we do hear some tracks more than once, there's a very impressive number of varied and lengthy tracks. Wise certainly went all out with this soundtrack.

 

[TheChits]

6-2 -- Prepare to Cry Edition

Seriously... One of Wise's most beautiful pieces... ;_;

My word this is lovely. I've only seen a few levels and heard a few songs, but this soundtrack is shaping up to be incredible

 

[nkarafo]

I think 5-6 is my new favorite.

 

[Pikawil]

And if you guys think 6-5 is good...just wait for 6-7

frozen Fear Factory

, isn't it?

 

[Weiner Whistle]

6-6 is like a calmer version of the awesome Frantic Fields, and 6-5 just sounds wonderful!

 

[Trevelyan9999]

I think the Gamespot review was a hidden message for world 6 of this game


Joking aside, Nintendo needs to have David Wise do the next Metroid game too! WOW O_O

6-7 FEAR FACTORY

6-7 FEAR FACTORY

Dat left ear balance doe

 

[Neiteio]

Hmm... Does it seem like 6-7 was recorded in Mono (left ear only) for some reason, or did my headphones just go kaput?

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Hmm... Does it seem like 6-7 was recorded in Mono (left ear only) for some reason, or did my headphones just go kaput?

No you're right.

 

[Neiteio]

Man, that's frustrating -- how did they screw up and record it in Mono? It sounds amazing... to my left ear...

 

[chadboban]

Hmm... Does it seem like 6-7 was recorded in Mono (left ear only) for some reason, or did my headphones just go kaput?

Nah, it's not just you. Was really worried that my headphones were busted for a second there.

 

[Out of Working Order]

You can't handle it in both ears - it's probably for the best.

 

[-GJ-]

Is the soundtrack available yet? I can't seem to find it on iTunes and Bandcamp.

 

[ErrorMacro]

Hmm... Does it seem like 6-7 was recorded in Mono (left ear only) for some reason, or did my headphones just go kaput?

Yeah, it's quite weird. I don't think it's Mono, but the left side is much louder than right.

 

[AoM]

It's Nintendo.

 

[Neiteio]

Nope. It's Nintendo. They're back-asswards.

And don't point to the Pokémon soundtracks -- those smart merchandising moves can probably be attributed to the Pokémon Company.

I know, but people on YouTube seem to have it. Or are those gamerips?

Game rips. The game has a music test. You can even turn down (or turn off) sound effects if you want to listen while you play.

I don't have a Wii U, nor do I have a TV, so buying the game just to hear the soundtrack is going to be expensive, haha. Let's hope Nintendo decides to release a soundtrack as soon as possible.

Spoiler

I can dream, right?

Well, Nintendo did talk about David Wise while marketing this game in various venues, so perhaps they're aware he's a bullet-point and they'll release an album accordingly.

 

[CrimsonCrescendo]

Why is this not out on Itunes? Seriously, Nintendo and their lack of ability to release their soundtracks pisses me the fuck off.

 

[javac]

I can't click on these later tracks but goddamn I'm so fucking close to clicking on them. A few days.

 

[Neiteio]

Just try one. There are like 100 tracks in this game.

Are you sure this is from Donkey Kong and not TLOU? Damn...this game...AMAZON SHIP FUCKING DONKEY DONG RIGHT THIS INSTANT!

I'll be honest it's not my favourite but that's to be expected. I love Wing Ding and Deep Keep!
