Donkey Kong Country 2: Serious Monkey Business - History

[Lord Exor]

I found the lyrics rather poignant.

[Patrick Burns]

:) :) :) :) :)

[Nekofrog]

I am fully prepared for the backlash that my track creates when the project is released and people hear it. It has several strikes against it for most average listeners

1. There are vocals
2. Said vocals are death metal growls
3. Song is heavier than your average VG cover (by a mile)

The only thing it has going for it maybe are that the lyrics are very humorous, but still some people will skip it five seconds in once they hear the vocals.

Their loss.

I am SOOO looking forward to this now. I've done a little screamin' / growls for an older band of mine I used to be a part of so it will be nice bit of nostalgia. :nicework:

No no no, vocals are okay when they are METULLLLLL.

It's only when there are RAP vocals that people get angry because OMG RAP IS NOT MUSIC.

[Jammerlink]

OMG when is this going to be released??? The suspense is killing me! I keep hearing about these leaked tracks but aren't bothering to find and listen to them. I don't want to ruin the listening pleasure nor my own judgment.

I JUST KNOW IT"S GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!

/end rant

edit: Do my eyes deceive me? More greenage? Yays! ^.^

[KyleJCrb]

3. Song is heavier than your average VG cover (by a mile)

You should rectify this problem, Neko.

[Hale-Bopp]

I hope everyone digs my rapping. I've never rapped before, so I just improvised all over the track. I kept the first take cuz it was the best. I'm a pretty good rapper considering how white I am!

[KyleJCrb]

I really hope you actually did rap. Please don't disappoint me, Hale!

[José the Bronx Rican]

I really hope you actually did rap. Please don't disappoint me, Hale!

He really, actually did rap, and it's hot shit.
Choruses kinda stink, though. :tomatoface:

[Hemophiliac]

My track passed yesterday, and i was at risk for tetanus at the same time x.x

wav coming soon to bahamut or taucer.

[Brandon Strader]

As the death metal vocalist I think I can safely share my opinion on rap vocals. There's actually a lot of similarity between death vocals and rap vocals. Death vocals, mainly monotone, with a ferocious changing of pitch between growling and screaming, but not really based too much on melody. Usually based on rhythmic timing.

Rap vocals on the other hand... usually pretty much the same thing, but without the growling or screaming. Monotone, almost like speaking in a rhythmic manner. Though I believe growls can express a lot more emotion than raping. Rap vocals stop being rap vocals when they introduce melody or auto-tune, with the exception of douchebags like Kanye West who put auto-tune on their monotone talking.

I'm obviously biased so I can't say one is better than the other, I'll just say they are fairly equal, at least on the surface. It takes a lot more vocal effort and control to be able to pull off a constant string of growling.

ight i dont agree with you. see theyre two kinds of rap the one you speak of is called bubble gum rap and we all know that shit is trash the other form is hip hop which is more real i would say no garbage or anything. now to break it down for you to me i strongly feel that death metal vox doesnt hold a candle to rap vox...come on now death metal is nothing but screaming in rap/hip hop theres the hook...chorus ..punchlines etc. theres more work in the vox then jus hearing 4 mins of screaming *cough* mars volta. also reguardless auto tune or not rap vox are still rap vox...jus look at lil wayne. also tupac and biggies lyrics changed the game they took time to write theyre lyrics. so rap isnt monotone in certain songs theyre alot of good ear candy and voice inflections.

[Hale-Bopp]

He really, actually did rap, and it's hot shit.
Choruses kinda stink, though. :tomatoface:
We really should have traded places. I probably shouldn't be rapping now that I really think about it. Oh well, too late! :oops:

[Brandon Strader]

Ahah, well realize I was also being extremely generous in an attempt to not piss off any rap fans. But I wasn't talking hip hop. I was talking rap. And I clearly said I don't consider melodious auto-tune vocals and choruses to be rap. I don't care if you call it bubble gum tic-tac marzipan kit-kat rap. Rap is rap.

[Monobrow]

I hope everyone digs my rapping. I've never rapped before, so I just improvised all over the track. I kept the first take cuz it was the best. I'm a pretty good rapper considering how white I am!

One question: Did you get Pong to do "yeah baby"s?

[Hale-Bopp]

That'll be on the 'yeah baby' re-remix.

[Crulex]

So, two green tracks, two orange and one brown track, awesome! This seems to be moving along nicely. I look forward to Hale's rapping. And I think I'll stay out of the line of fire on the Death Metal vs. Rap issue, manly because I like both. :-P

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Donations needed for physical printing; contact bahamut if you want to donate.

[Nekofrog]

Give me about a month, I might be able to toss some your way.

[GTAHater836]

Has this project, by any chance, been delayed into next year? I can't tell if those last 5 tracks will have their final WIPs before Halloween, and the Unknown Mega Man 9 Project is scheduled for December 15.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

We're gonna let the secret out in a few weeks. Just so you know.

[KyleJCrb]

The secret is...


Taucer's pregnant.

[LuketheXjesse]

GrayLightning is doing the secret track.

[Emunator]

The secret is, djpretzel and virt are actually contributing to the same project!


... oh, wait.

[Demonstray]

The secret is:

This project is just a Christmas present for the Demonstray. :razz:

[Emunator]

You guys really should try and release this on Christmas morning. I'm not even kidding, that would be better than any present money could buy.

It would make my life if I had this to open up when I first woke up :-)

[AJ-enova]

A new Album for christmas would be friggin' Awesome :mrgreen:
Good luck everyone!

[Bahamut]

I don't think djp wants to lose a Christmas stressing out over a project release :lol:

[Wiesty]

I are so psyched for this album

[GTAHater836]

We're gonna let the secret out in a few weeks. Just so you know.
A...secret? I better read the initial post over.

Update: I'd have put this in the initial post, just to make it easier to keep in mind. As usual, the anticipation is high.

I are so psyched for this album
Same here. I think you speak for everyone here on that, but I don't speak for everyone here when I say I anticipate it more than anything but Overture of the Vigilante Wild.

[ds is trash]

The secret is this whole project was a hoax. :-P

[Aninymouse]

The secret is this whole project was a hoax. :-P

there would be blood to pay

[Lord Exor]

The secret is this whole project was a hoax. :-P
You mean it's not a hoax?

[Emunator]

The secret is...






Every track has vocals! Conformity!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

the secret is...






Every track has vocals! Conformity!

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh don't tell everybody!

[Level 99]

The secret was already revealed: it was Bananas x25

Edit: Also, GTaucer, got about 1/4 of the way through ukeke...holy crap dude, my sides hurt from laughter.

[a_d]

This is one of my favorite and most nostalgic games. Glad to see it getting a project.
The acronym for the title (Serious Monkey Business) is SMB, kinda funny.
Btw, hows come the ending theme (Ending Ambience) isn't on the project? It's one of the game's best tracks!

Because it's not an actual song, it's just a minute of ambient water effects :-P But here, luckily for you someone already took the liberty of remixing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5dRLPieKoE :tomatoface:

[a_d]

my mistake. i meant the music that plays while all the characters in the game scroll out

[Sockpuppet]

That would be "Donkey Kong Rescued," which is on the list. :wink:

Oooooh, trust me, you will not be dissappointed with that track. It is on the project and it's being mixed by -- OSHITS, can't tell you that yet.

[Crulex]

Heh, that was a close one. :-P

Heh, that was a close one. :-P

Nah, he's hyping the secret :razz: .

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Nah, he's hyping the secret :razz: .

And having way too much fun doing so.

[Crulex]

And having way too much fun doing so.
And getting us all on pins and needles as well.

[KyleJCrb]

Mmmmm, delicious secret...

[Level 99]

Mmmmm, delicious secret...

Oh yes, the secret is so delicious that, compared to the secret, fudge stripe cookies taste like dirt.

:<NOMS ON TEH SECRET

[Nekofrog]

The most delicious part is that I know what the secret is, and you don't. HAR HAR.

[a_d]

whoops. didn't realize that was the name of it :<

[Hemophiliac]

ditto 10char.

[KyleJCrb]

I already spilled the secret a few pages back.

[Level 99]

The most delicious part is that I know what the secret is, and you don't. HAR HAR.

I, too, know T3H Secret, mmmyes, secret

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Haha, stevo literally guessed it in one try, and I didn't react quick enough to believably deny it.

Makes little difference at this point who knows and who doesn't; we're gonna let the cat out of the bag pretty soon.

[Aninymouse]

I am excite.

[KyleJCrb]

Haha, stevo literally guessed it in one try, and I didn't react quick enough to believably deny it.

I also guessed it with Bahamut, and he didn't deny it either.

[Nekofrog]

to b e completely honest, it's the kind of thing that blows every other project out of the water in WTF-ness. like how the fuck did you manage that.

and it makes me proud to be onboard this project in part of it

that and my remix is fucking jawesome for it

[avaris]

My guess is the composer of the original track did a remix for the project? If that were perhaps true then OH MY! :shock:

[LuketheXjesse]

That was one of my guesses but Taucer denied it. He could have been screwing around with me though.

[KyleJCrb]

For those that missed my big reveal:

The secret track is a supercollab with djpretzel, virt, Protricity, Mustin, Schabubula, Seifer, and DJ Frog.

I've heard that they have also recently added HoBoKa and CompyFox to that mix. Atomic Dog is also presumably contributing in some fashion.

[LuketheXjesse]

Alrighty, express permission from Taucer to reveal EVERYTHING to you!

...

check first post to see it!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

check first post to see it!

Well, lookie there! You appear to be onto something.

[Emunator]

Well, I called Dave Wise and Robin Beanland being part of the secret after matching the number of ???'s in their names, but Grant Kirkhope is a great surprise! Two of my favorite composers collaborating on one of my favorite songs? I can't wait! :-D

You guys really went above and beyond on this - I don't know how you managed to get them to contribute to this project but I'm glad you did!!

[Dafydd]

Hahaha! I guessed Dave Wise pages ago. This is incredibly awesome. I so regret not being on this project now...

In 10 years, all the mixes will be made by people in the biz, and 90% of their mixes won't pass the panel. ^^

[pu_freak]

Holy shi-! Props for getting them on board!

[TheKrow]

Fuck man, I don't even know what to say. I just gotta lay down... let it soak in for a week...

[Sir_Downunder]

:shock: Oh........... Holy crap...

[Level 99]

Here's a rough summation of how it went down in IRC:

GT: Do you know T3h secret yet?
L99: No, but I'm sure it's amazing and I hate you already for having it.
GT: Oh, you have no idea....
L99: You got David Wise to do a track for you, didn't you?
GT:...............
* L99 ate his own keyboard
GT: Good guess.

He showed us a little bit at the NC meetup, and I was lost for words...

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Being too lazy to look through the whole thread since last I posted, "???? ????" couldn't be Dave Wise, could it? :<
I would shit myself.
If this were true, i too, would shit myself

Good times

[DarkeSword]

Whole lotta poopin' goin' on.

[avaris]

My sphincter control siren is on red alert!

(congrats dudes this sounds wicked)

[Chernabogue]

WOW ! David Wise and Robert Beanland!! Man, this project was awesome, now it's completly AMAZING! Can't wait to listen to it!

[Xenon Odyssey]

Now that's badass. Props to you guys on making that happen!

[Crulex]

:shock: Holy monkey balls! Robin and Wise on the track!? I mean, I kinda saw it coming, but knowing it to be true is amazing!!!

[Aninymouse]

SWEET MOTHER OF BALLSACK I GUESSED IT

I AM SO STOKED I WANT TO CRY I NEVER THOUGHT THIS DAY WOULD COME

srs

[Dunther]

OMG WTF it's great :shock:

[Aninymouse]

Krook's March (claimed by Sole Signal)
wait when did this happen?

[Emunator]

wait when did this happen?

It's still Audix, he just had copyright issues with his name (I believe it was Audix Microphones or something) and had to change all references to his name to Sole Signal.

[a_d]

Where is Protricity in all of this? His DKC2 remixes have been some of the best!

[LuketheXjesse]

I asked the same thing few months back.

They asked Prot but he said no.

[a_d]

no way. that's weird. Maybe he's too busy with other stuff.
Btw, so sweet that Dave Wise is contributing, and to the ending theme, no less! He single-handedly made the best Donkey Kong game soundtrack ever

[Bahamut]

I asked the same thing few months back.

They asked Prot but he said no.

Actually, he said maybe but that was it.

[Demonstray]

I--I can't believe this.

I'm forcing myself to believe it, but trying to believe it makes me almost succumb to a nervous breakdown.

I can't--DAVID WISE + GRANT KIRKHOPE + ROBIN BEANLAND?!
Three of my top favorite composers of all time, on a REMIX ALBUM!!

I...I need to lay down now...Yeah, I'm gonna go lay down now.

[KyleJCrb]

I stole Protricity. Sorry suckaz!

[Bahamut]

So we have yet another secret!

...But I'm holding out until close to the release to reveal this one :-P

[Brandon Strader]

Let me guess, the remix album is going to be used for the new DKC sequel for the Wii? You and your secrets. :P

[GTAHater836]

Let me guess, the remix album is going to be used for the new DKC sequel for the Wii? You and your secrets. :P

It's obvious another DKC game would really satisfy the fanbase's hunger. Unfortunately, if we ever want it for any hardware, a group of fans would have to do it themselves. Nintendo will never make another DKC game as long as they're under those Bongos' curse!

[Brandon Strader]

I thought the donkey bongos were pretty successful. Maybe I'm wrong. But they won't make another DKC game just because the bongos are too established or what? I don't get it. You'd think Nintendo would see the games they've had that people loved and make new ones. I mean they did the new side-scrolling multiplayer Mario thing. Why not DKC?

[KyleJCrb]

A new DKC just wouldn't be right without Rare.

[Emunator]

I'm curious, there's 2 mixes in the "to be posted" queue that I don't recognize... who did "Rare Respite" and "How KRool Went Insane"?

[LuketheXjesse]

A new DKC just wouldn't be right without Rare.

Honestly they just need to sell the rights back to Rare since Nintendo keeps giving the series to shitty third parties.

[OA]

I'm curious, there's 2 mixes in the "to be posted" queue that I don't recognize... who did "Rare Respite" and "How KRool Went Insane"?

Patrick Burns and Ross Kmet. :-)

[Palpable]

I'm curious, there's 2 mixes in the "to be posted" queue that I don't recognize... who did "Rare Respite" and "How KRool Went Insane"?

That's Patrick Burns' "Jib Jig" mix and Ross Kmet's "Crocodile Isle" mix, respectively.

[Emunator]

Haha, thanks you two :-)

[ds is trash]

That's Patrick Burns' "Jib Jig" mix and Ross Kmet's "Crocodile Isle" mix, respectively.
What about Tetanus?

[Bahamut]

That's Hemophiliac's track.

[Emunator]

Poor OA, nobody's asking about his queued track :puppyeyes:

[OA]

Poor OA, nobody's asking about his queued track :puppyeyes:

i'll live :<

[ds is trash]

Poor OA, nobody's asking about his queued track :puppyeyes:
Because everybody already knew it was his track :razz:

[Chernabogue]

So we have yet another secret!

...But I'm holding out until close to the release to reveal this one :-P

Maybe album design done by DKC's designer ? Or another DK game, with an OCR Soundtrack ? Well, I'll wait to get an answer.

[Bahamut]

So just a status update - we are in need of $1200 total, and we currently have about $400 for the physical printing. We are in need of $800 more. If you donate $40, you will get a copy as thanks! Donate now and help us make this a reality!

[HitoriJaNai]

Ooh... How do we donate, exactly? You've piqued my interest! :razz:

[Level 99]

Holy...$40 donation for a physical copy? That's cutting pretty deep, man, dunno if I can swing that at the moment. How many physical copies are you ordering?!?

[anosou]

Did I ever donate? I'm pretty sure I didn't but I told you to remind me :D If you say "yo, dkc2, $40" Friday 13th you'll get some moolah right away

<3 <3 <3

[LuketheXjesse]

Paying for college sorry.

Also Magfest (if by some miracle I can mooch off someone's room).

[Dafydd]

Yeah. What does the $1200 pay for exactly? Will the physical copies be for sale to, I dunno, anyone? How many copies will be made and what will they cost a piece? Who gets the money from the sales - OCR?

In that case, I'd rather pay the lower price and have that money donated to OCR than pay the higher price so that others can buy it for the lower price, since I'll get a copy either way.

[jmr]

Yeah. What does the $1200 pay for exactly? Will the physical copies be for sale to, I dunno, anyone?Unless things have changed since last week, they won't be for sale: According to Bahamut "These are never for selling."

Also: did you get my last PM, Bahamut? If everything's all good I can send my donation tomorrow.

[KyleJCrb]

$40? The album better damn well contain the cure for cancer at that price!

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Sorry Bahamut..that's too much for us right now. :\ We can't even afford to buy food...

[Bahamut]

Well, it's not a for sale thing - CD printings for OCR are always promotional, and never for sale. This will be a 2-3 CD album (hopefully 2, but we are cutting it very close on minutes per CD), so I'm guessing costs will be similar to FF4's printing, although we should be able to print more CDs as we're going the digipak route. If I remember right, FF4 only printed 200 copies or so? OA probably can correct me on this though, but the number sounded quite low. I have to check the numbers when we have all of the material ready for printing the CDs.

Remember, getting a physical copy is a gift of thanks - I could just as easily foot this bill myself, as I have the cash, but it's a lot of money for one person to pay for. I will naturally foot the necessary difference, but I'm hoping I don't have to.

All interested people, paypal the $ to wesley.cho@gmail.com . The amount is up to all of you of course as to what you want to donate. Some have donated quite a bit!

jmr: I did get your PM
pu_freak: Thanks for your donation!
Another Soundscape: Sure if you want

[pu_freak]

Hmm it seems that with the current exchange rate, I just didn't make the $40 :P Ah well, perhaps next month if I get my next salary I'll donate some more ;)

Just out of curiousity... I live in the Netherlands, will the physical copy be shipped to me aswell?

[Bahamut]

If you'd like to donate more, that's fine, but I'll still send you a copy.

[Dafydd]

Ok, just to get this straight, these CD's are promotional. What does that mean? You give them away for free at various events that OCReMix attends? To ordinary people like myself (were I to attend) or to people "in the biz"? Both? I feel like I've been missing out on something very fundamental and simple here. I'm in no way trying to question what you're doing, I just don't understand how this works, and everyone else seems to.

We do give them out for free at various stuff like at OCR panels at various conventions, or when available offer to give them as a gift when people purchase OCR merchandise in person at said conventions. They are never sold individually for profit, as OCR is a non-profit organization and is about promoting the music.

[Contricity]

So will there be a torrent for this album? I've been anxious to see how this one turned out and the anticipation is killing me. o.o

[KyleJCrb]

So will there be a torrent for this album? I've been anxious to see how this one turned out and the anticipation is killing me. o.o

No, I think they planned on releasing it as a spanned .rar archive across 400 3.5in floppy disks.




















Seriously, has any OCR album release NOT had a torrent thus far? :-P

[Monobrow]

So will there be a torrent for this album? I've been anxious to see how this one turned out and the anticipation is killing me. o.o

nice name... lol

[Bahamut]

So will there be a torrent for this album? I've been anxious to see how this one turned out and the anticipation is killing me. o.o

As Kyle responded above, there will of course be a torrent!

I'm going to hype this up by saying you probably won't be disappointed - people did a phenomenal job, and I really can't state enough how happy I am with everyone's effort. It's truly something that I feel honors the original work pretty well.

[Aninymouse]

i am proud and i haven't even heard but, like, 15% of the project

so i imagine you would be fairly proud having heard 100%

[Emunator]

i am proud and i haven't even heard but, like, 15% of the project

so i imagine you would be fairly proud having heard 100%

Let's see... I've heard 5 completed tracks (Fishy, Audix, Tepid, Nekofrog, and OA's) 1 almost-complete track (Taucer's) and then at least 20+ minutes worth of preview tracks... So I'd say I'm probably a bit more than 15% spoiled but I'll echo your sentiment :-P

This project will be amazing, no question about it.

[Bahamut]

Well I could just be talking out of my ass :-P

Edit: Taucer's track has changed some - the final version will be much better.

[Bleck]

so is this coming out soon or am I going to have to sit through another overplayed RPG album

[Bahamut]

We're really shooting for December - working pretty hard at it right now in getting the final stuff together.

[Bleck]

magnificent

[diamondfalcon]

I haven't been on since October so I'm just now seeing this, but oh wow, David Wise!!! I'm am really excited about this project and would love to see it released in December. :D

[Bahamut]

So apparently it's possible that ANOTHER project comes out before DKC 2 actually. However, we still aim to release at the time we set for ourselves.

[Emunator]

So apparently it's possible that ANOTHER project comes out before DKC 2 actually. However, we still aim to release at the time we set for ourselves.

Which one are we talking about? To me, it doesn't look like any projects are even close to the level of completion that this one is :?

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

wtf.... can you at least tell us the next project before DKC2?

[Bahamut]

That's not up to me to reveal.

[Subz1987]

The only projects I see close to completion are the Sonic and Pokemon projects. Unless there's another surprise project out there.

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

poopy head. :|

[Emunator]

HEY, SECRET PROJECT FINISHERS, SHOW YOURSELVES! :tomatoface:


But seriously, I don't really mind waiting a bit of extra time, the delay will only make the payoff sweeter :-D

[Bahamut]

Nah, it shouldn't delay this at all.

[GTAHater836]

The only projects I see close to completion are the Sonic and Pokemon projects. Unless there's another surprise project out there.

If any more albums should come before Serious Monkey Business, it'll be the Unknown MegaMan 9 Project.

[Bahamut]

Nope - you all don't know about this (probably). In any event, it's not my place to say it.

[KyleJCrb]

People always forget about my project (http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2845)... There's actually five finished tracks, two that are practically finished (just need wavs) and the rest coming along nicely. Won't be done before DKC2 probably, but it's pulling ahead of others. :-P

[Dafydd]

Lucky you. :) You've been around for a while now though, so any progress for you is well deserved.

[Soul Splint]

Hey, Bahamut, did you receive my donation?

Can't wait for these CDs...

[Bahamut]

Yup, got it - thanks!

[LuketheXjesse]

Apparently Wikipedia knows about the secret track. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Wise)

[Nekofrog]

It's not a secret anymore. Hasn't been for a while.

Also, the NEW secret is still super secret. I think like 3 or 4 people know, myself included. :3

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

Wow! that's def to be proud of! :)

[LuketheXjesse]

It's not a secret anymore. Hasn't been for a while.

I know that silly, I just thought "secret track" sounded better than "dave wise track" :2

Donated, YOU SHOULD TOO!

(I also know the second secret :3)

[Demonstray]

So wait...donating would be recognized as a gift...but you're shipping albums, so...purchase of goods?!

WHAT DO 8O

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Just received a final .wav from Wise.

[Bahamut]

And there was great rejoicing!

[KyleJCrb]

David Wise: The first video game composer to contribute to OCR's own tribute album of his work. Fucking AWESOME.

[Lord Obsidious]

Fucking AWESOME on many epic levels XD Pardon my language

[Crulex]

And the album takes one giant step towards being finished! Oh yeah!

[Chernabogue]

Just received a final .wav from Wise.

Yay, sounds great ! Can't wait to listen to it !

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Yes. It most certainly does.

[Palpable]

Such blind fanaticism here. All you people are gonna be disappointed when you hear that Dave Wise chose to do "Donkey Kong Rescued" in the style of "My Humps". Actually, I bet he could still make that sound awesome.

[GTAHater836]

Will it sound like this? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRmYfVCH2UA)

At least that's better than the Black Eyed Peas' original version. A sad piano drama isn't unheard of on other albums, but on this one, it still wouldn't suffice. Donkey Kong Country revolves more around comedy than drama.

And skrypnyk, the Black Eyed Peas songs before "My Humps" were at least mediocre-to-decent. "My Humps" was (beep)ing terrible.

[Skrypnyk]

And skrypnyk, the Black Eyed Peas songs before "fergie" were at least mediocre-to-decent. "fergie" was (beep)ing terrible.

Why did you try to fix that?

[Patrick Burns]

http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=104289

David Wise left Rare! "I think the business of Rare has changed a great deal, and at the moment there is just not the opportunity to create the soundtracks that Rare were fortunately very famous for."

I'd bet the farm that his participation in this project had at least a little to do with that decision. Think we made him long a bit for the 'good ole days?'

Best of luck to him in his job search (if he's indeed in the midst of one).

[GTAHater836]

I'll bet this wouldn't have happened if RARE could just get the XBOX series right! Grabbed by the Ghoulies, Live & Reloaded, Perfect Dark Zero! They were all such huge disappointments that I'd have left if I worked alongside David Wise.

Anyways, 4 more tracks! The anticipation is degrasively heavy!

[Cody Wedel]

I'm not sure why, but the fact that this thread hasn't had a reply in 6 days really bothered me to the point of me logging in after 2 years of inactivity.

That being said, I'm reeeaaally looking forward to this album. I've heard nothing but good things, especially involving Nicole Adams' take on Hot Head Bop (really, a duet between Diddy and Dixie? That sounds incredible). And of course, I can't WAAAAIT for Dave Wise's remix of Donkey Kong Rescued (when I found out Dave, Robin AND Grant were working it, I was at a loss of words. I kinda still am).

I also haven't heard the preview and don't intend to. As much as I'd LOVE to, I'd rather everything be one big surprise to me.

[a_d]

So has this album not been officially released on OCR yet because they want to let a little time pass from the Castlevania album?

[Emunator]

No, it's because there's still 4 tracks left to be finished and (I'm assuming) the website/physical printing/final release details aren't finalized yet. Last time I checked the release was slated for sometime this month, but if that's the case it looks like the project directors will have to haul ass to get it all ready. By way of comparison, it took almost a month, if memory serves, from the time the music aspect of Humans + Gears was finalized to the point of actually releasing the album to the public. The behind-the-scenes work takes up a lot more time than most of us know.

[a_d]

Ah. that makes sense

[GTAHater836]

...then I guess the unknown MegaMan 9 Project is next.

[Cody Wedel]

Thanks for the information, Emunator. In that case, I'm guessing the album is going to be released either later this month, or sometime in early 2010. I'm personally rooting for the former as I've been following this thread since it was made. :)

[KyleJCrb]

...then I guess the unknown MegaMan 9 Project is next.

It's hard to tell, but considering that one just had some setbacks of its own and is nowhere near as complete as this, it might not be.

[Bahamut]

We're really shooting for a release Dec. 11. It is possible we may not make the date, but I don't see it as an impossible task.

[Emunator]

If you don't mind filling me in, exactly what else needs to be done if you want to make that date? I doubt I could be of any help, but if there's any menial tasks that need to be done I'll gladly offer whatever services I can to help you guys make that goal :-)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I REALLY hope this releases before Christmas! :D

[Lord Obsidious]

Oh wow, this could tight for you guys if that's what you're aiming for, but then, what do I know about what goes on behind the scenes (Just that I see djp with 2 green tracks). Still, that will be awesome if you guys could get the album out by then.

On a side note, do those that have donated 40$+ need to send you guys their address to receive the CDs?

[Aninymouse]

Is it fair to ask how much more needs to be donated for the CD printing to be a go?

I think I could swing $40 your way.

A week from today will not necessarily be the release date but only our first chance at it. Sure, the two "DJP" tracks are substantial rather than basic WIPs but I'm not holding my breath on them being finished in the next week because I can't prove either of them will. To me, December 18 would be plenty because I'll be done with final exams.

Wouldn't it be a trip if all the discs and mp3's were blank upon release? Nah, that'd be way too mean.

I am looking forward to hearing the final product, gentlemen. What I have heard from it is absolutely well-rounded and impressive. You've got all the bells and whistles (both literally and metaphorically).

So you know:

This project almost certainly will not be ready for release on the 11th. It will very likely be ready for release within the next month, though.

Is this just contingent on the 3 remaining mixes being completed? Or is there anything else that needs to get wrapped up before going live?

[Geoffrey Taucer]

The website isn't done yet.
There may be some other stuff (ie setting up mirrors, torrents, etc), but I think either Wes or Larry is handling that.
And there's the 3 uncompleted mixes.

I think that's it.

Good luck finishing up and Cheers! :)

Hey, I understand. Here's hoping everyone will have some extra free time to finish things after the holidays, hmm?

I apologize that we weren't able to get out the album for the year :-( . Things are looking like they should definitely be 100% done next month though - we only have a few holdups left, so the odds are looking very good!

[Cody Wedel]

No worries guys, it's gonna be hard but we all can wait (and this is coming from a huge DKC fan) - thanks for putting this project together in the first place! I'm pretty sure it'll be gold :)

[Lord Obsidious]

No problem Bahamut! I'm a patient man and I can wait, and rushing will lose the quality of the album XD. I think we both understand that, and I really am looking forward to this album.

On a side note, I couldn't help but feel like I expected the delay to occur, although I hoped it wouldn't (Not trying to sound insulting or anything). I probably came from watching each track get complete that led me to that deduction, but I can't fully tell. Of course, I don't assume the track artists working here are lazy to any amount - I'm fully aware that we all have real-lives, and I really don't know what goes on with the recording and how long it can takes. 'Tis all understandable.

[Bahamut]

On a side note, soon I'll have virt's final wav (today).

[Brandon Strader]

After the initial printing or whatnot, you could try amazon.com mp3 downloads... Xerol has one set up and you probably heard about it already, but http://www.createspace.com/

I'm thinking about trying it too

https://www.createspace.com/Products/CD/ <-- make CDs too

If you make the CD at that site, they'll send you a free proof now, and you can self-order up to like 500 copies for $2.97 (PER CD)... though shorter orders like 49 copies cost more, $4.95

If you have trouble finding all the donations you need for a "serious" printing, you could maybe try something like that

*listens*

Okay, I only listened enough to figure out what song it was, then I closed out so as not to ruin the surprise, but... for anyone curious, it's the updated version of Mining Melancholy that was released on the radio show :-P

[Lord Obsidious]

I listened to all of it (I have a terrible habit of spoiling myself too much XD). All I'll tell you is that this song is so much better than the previous version; and I actually enjoyed the lyrics despite the fact that I'm not very fond of rap. I could be being bias though XD.

Also, WHOOT, Virt's track is coming! I've really enjoyed some of his works - and it looks like djp

[dabattousai]

The way I see it, I think I'm pleased knowing the project is coming out in 2010. It tells me that 2010 is going to be a great year for both games and remix music :)

[Aninymouse]

The final version of Mining Melancholy is really nice~

[Teeth]

Right, I've been following this project for a long time now, and Donkey Kong Country 2 definitely has my favourite game soundtrack ever. :D But I listened to that preview and....oh good god. WHY? Why destroy Mining Melancholy by rapping over it? It's like drawing a cock on the Mona Lisa!

I'm sorry if I'm being a bit harsh, and I understand and appreciate that a lot of hard work and effort has gone into this project. And I know that not everyone hates rap music. But would it be possible to release a version of the song without lyrics in? And if there's rapping over Stickerbrush Symphony, there will be blood.

As I said several pages ago, the source is very well suited to it. The bulk of it is beat-driven, with brief melodic breaks, which is perfect for rap.

It's like drawing a cock on the Mona Lisa!

That would be pretty awesome.

[Teeth]

Okay, I'm sorry if I offended you guys, I didn't read the past discussions and I have no musical talent whatsoever. So I wouldn't have known if Mining Melancholy is good for a rap beat or not. I just love DKC2 and its soundtrack so damn much.

If you love it that damn much, why are you so closed minded about what they want to do with their album, especially if you have no musical talent? I'm not gonna respond back so reply if you want, I just saw that really ignorant post and decided to say somethin but keepin in mind this is someone elses' thread so I didn't say anything harsh.

[GTAHater836]

It's still not clear to me if any unfortunate circumstances have arisen in this project's development, but I'll be happy to see it released in January 2010. I thought they'd release BOTH The MissingNo Tracks and MegaMan 9 (beta name Back In Blue) before this.

And If I interpreted one of Teeth's posts correctly, he loved the OST to DKC2, but he didn't want the remix to sound just anyhow.

And to all those talking about the cock on Mona Lisa... did it ever occur to you that in past millennia, it was a symbol of fertility?

[Aninymouse]

ROFL people who hate hip-hop.

You know what? I think Jose did a fucking good job with his writing and flow. I certainly couldn't do any better. In fact, the rest of the song is fantastic as well.

How about this, Teeth? Why don't you teach yourself how to use a music program like FruityLoops or ProTools or some junk and DO YOUR OWN RENDITION? Instead of being close-minded and hurtful, why not try to one-up them instead?

And while you're at it, why not listen to some fantastic hip-hop music instead of the Hot 100, and really learn why it's a beautiful method of expression worth defending.

edit: also, GTAHater836 (rofl), I'm pretty sure they're kidding about there being a giant dick painted on the front of the mona lisa's mouth.

[Monobrow]

Wow guys, it's just one dude's opinion, don't need to get so up in arms about it.

It's not really fair to use the whole "WHY DON'T YOU MAKE THE MUSIC YOURSELF?!?!?!??!?!! BLAH BLAH" stuff ... Come on...

I don't agree with Teeth, but there's really no need for the gangbangananga..

[Teeth]

Excuse me, my intention wasn't to be hurtful - I stated clearly that I could understand that a lot of effort had been put in, and I respected that. I also said that I'm not a musician myself, and there's no way I could do better. Really I just stated my own, personal opinion, which I don't have to change because you don't agree with me, and asked if it would be possible for me to listen to a version without lyrics.

[Patrick Burns]

Nobody is really upset, Teeth. We all have those awesome ReMixes in our heads we're waiting for someone to make, but wanting and waiting for something doesn't mean you're entitled to it, or are justified in acting indignant when it doesn't turn out how you want it. That's a common reaction for a lot of people, and everyone here is used to reacting to it. Next time, just tell Taucer how much you love it and want a karaoke version of it.

You can't upset any of the guys on the Mining Melancholy mix (hence the sarcastic reactions), but it could just have easily been a newbie trying to build confidence.

Anyway, seems to me like we all understand each other at this point.

[Monobrow]

Now really, where is that cock on the Mona Lisa edit? You dudes are getting slow these days... I expected better!

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Guys, enough. Teeth doesn't like rap, but many of the rest of us think it's fine. All of this has been established and isn't going anywhere.

Now, this Moaning Lisa thing, on the other hand....

So, I've built quite a reputation for ruining music. Now that HD Remix is a complete disaster, I'm ready to do the same for Dave Wise. I've helped to create a real work of art by programming the bassline, the drums, and the percussion, as well as writing nearly the entire chorus. We meant for it to be an instrumental where people can imagine their own lead vocal performance, but then I had to go and rap.

[GTAHater836]

Three questions and comments, Jose...

1) You're the only ReMixer I know who does rap. Do any other ReMixers rap?

2) It's not your fault I had a problem with the Turbo HD Remix. My gripe is that the mixes were not all new.

3) What did you name your ReMix of Mining Melancholy?

[José the Bronx Rican]

You haven't heard zyko and Mythril Nazgul yet? GO. DO IT.
The song was called "Trapped in the Mines" when it was subbed to DoD. The final title is "Trapped in the Minds."
