I'm happy to mention that the project is doing very well, and will definitely be released this year, joining Echoes of Betrayal, Light of Redemption (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=15375) (with a preview here (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=20345)) and Summoning of Spirits (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=2937), if not an additional surprise project or two.

Enjoy!

What? No sixto! Be healed by the power of shredding and come make music for us little people!
I'm looking forward to this, I always loved DKC 2's music.

Keep fixing. :razz:

[Bahamut]

Man I just can't catch a break. :sad:

[Toadofsky]

Thanks for the preview, now I have to wait, after being totally in the dark on this project. It's sounding great so far, keep it up!

[CursedByFire]

have you decided who's doin the artwork?

[Toadofsky]

have you decided who's doin the artwork?

Darn it. I was going to ask the same thing...

I'll be glad to do an alternate CD cover if you guys like...

[Bahamut]

Send a preview via PM if you're interested - I have a friend interested in doing artwork as well, so we will want to pick the most fitting artwork.

[Jaybell]

This sounds really really sweet and I am all kinds of excited for this!

[Nekofrog]

My track sounds awesome, can't wait for the vocals :)

bahamut re: your pm: it's possible, I need to hear how chipp's come out first to see if I want to add the clean at the end.

[Lord Obsidious]

Hoooooot sweetness!

I've been waiting to hear more news about this project for a while. I'm really digging the tunes and even the name! Can't wait for the Album.

[anosou]

My track sounds awesome

My track DOES sound awesome :tomatoface:

[Toadofsky]

So what style is this remix? Link's Awakening is more akin to calmer more like what I call relaxation music.

I'm just trying to get an idea. I just would like to do a cd cover if that's what you would want.

[Bahamut]

There's no unifying theme as to what the music is like. There are a few relaxing songs, a few more aggressive and heavy songs, a few that give the impression of plodding on, etc. If there's any word that I could think of that might give somewhat of an impression, it's epic.

I'll cook something up. As far as a webpage goes... That's up to the web masters here, I have no skill in that whatsoever.

[Liontamer]

I dunno man: http://vgmdb.net/album/7428

Title's kind of close. I'd go for something else myself. I'll check the preview soon.

[zircon]

Haha, Will's track is friggin' amazing. But everything sounds really cool, can't wait for the release. :)

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

I gotta say I really enjoy the tracks of bustatunez, Mazedude.... and OMG ZOOLA'S DISCO TRAIN SONG... I LooooooooVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE it!!! :D :D :D :D I hope the screams were left on there... hint hint... 8O There are tracks by Nicole Adams that aren't sampled here... which are friggin' amazing too... Keep up the great work guys!!! :-P

That Monkey Business album rocks btw... Jordan and I love it. hahaha

[justinj212]

ZOMG I'm really looking forward to this. Recently rediscovered the DKC2 soundtrack, has some fantastic stuff and I know you guys will do it justice. Keep us posted!

Yeah, I didn't have enough of her WIP to do it justice for just taking a short clip for the preview track, so I felt it was better just to leave it for the release as a surprise.

[Lord Obsidious]

Yeah, I concur that zoola's sounds awesome.

Also, just to add, Mazedude really surprised me with his mix of Bad Bird Rag. I actually heard it before in a another preview, but i thought it was a Lockjaw's saga remix that I was hearing. I was expecting something more closer to the actual toon; a little more energetic, per say.

But i guess I making early comments. Either way, the song still sounds great; and of course the rest XD

[JaDE ARaN HaRuNo]

It's all good, Bahamut. She was having PC problems, but she's back on board! Can't wait until her's is done. I'm glad she's apart of this community.

[Less Ashamed Of Self]

One of my all time favourite soundtracks, some songs already sound like the best interpretations I've heard of the source material (including material not yet covered!)

Super-boner-excited for this.

I didn't see a release date anywhere?

Well, we had this name idea from back in 2007 (I wasn't a big fan of it, and it went back and forth for a while).

You never see a release date for a project until it's out :razz: . I did mention it's coming out this year though, and that's the best I can give you.

[avaris]

Hey this is sounding really sharp dudes! Love the mix of different genres and ideas def my kinda stuff. Sounds like there is some really hi-fi stuff with some awesome creativity involved. Looking forward to the release dudes! :)

[Aninymouse]

Still really excited. Thanks for the second preview, Bahamut.

[Random Hajile]

<3 Mining Melancholy. one of my favorite vg tracks ever. Def in my top 3. Prob. be Sonic 3 and Knuckles Final Boss, Hydrocity Zone from the same game, and then Mining Melancholy

[Geoffrey Taucer]

You can hear Mining Meloncholy in it's current unfinished entirety at dod.vgmix.com; it was mine and Jose's entry for december.

[Palpable]

Sounding good, guys! Time to get my own damn track going.

[DuskyFerret]

It was awesome by the way, loved it as soon as I heard it, if that's the unfinished one I can't wait to hear the final product. But how did it only get 19th :?, seems like you put heaps of effort into it. Not that it was going to beat Shnab's entry, but still, 19th place is a little harsh.

[Kureejii Lea]

Nice preview! Rattle Battle's style caught me by surprise, it's delightful.
