Wow, very cool. And let me give you the honor of being the first person to add a Donkey Kong remix to my library. Admittedly, I have a very deep seeded prejudice against Donkey Kong, and although I've given every DK song on OCR a listen, it either wasn't very good or bothered me to the point where I didn't want to hear it.

But this is different. It still reminds me of Donkey Kong, but it doesn't remind me of all the reasons I hate the game (or any of its spinoffs).

So, special congrats for that. Aesthetically pleasing and wholly impressive.

Yeah major jammage goin on here. The solos really are the clincher for me. Some very nice drum work at ~3:30 as well. Not to mention the basswork shortly thereafter, and pretty much throughout. A nice little tune that makes for a fun listen.

I wouldnt say this to make anyone feel bad but this isnt repatative, I dont think the right amount of reverb's are being used for the drums though.
I like that part at 2:13, the melody, it sounds nice. .. then the comeback of the same melody later on in the song. and the whole drum thing at 3:30 but what was that? I expecter better of you, espically a electronica song. listening to it the third time across, my ears hurt form listening to that drum dude, I'm not fuckin kidding either. maybe a bit of eq'ing? and bringing up the bass might help.

This is definitely the best I've heard from you. You've definitely made the originals much more interesting in your version. I love the whole vibe running through this mix. One of the more interesting mixes I've heard at OC in a long time. Great work.

It's good but I can't really figure out what songs are in it. But still very good.

I've been asked this several times, so to clear things up,

This song is a remix of only ONE song, DKC2 - Jungle. This is the theme that shows up in the lost levels jungle. You can hear it by getting jungle.spc from the dkc2 sound track on zophar. I will say that a lot of the song was improve and/or original material, but it is still significantly that song and no other.

The ending was a little weaker than I expected from Sir Protricity but I was hooked on the bit from 1:24 to 1:56. Don't worry about my previous comment. Protricity is still one of my top 4 favorite Remixers (sorry there is no order they are all the best)!

Default DKC2 Jumble

I think maybe people don't recognise that tune as often as the others is because of a few things... Firstly, if I'm not mistaken, there are no normal Jungle levels in DKC2, so only those who have ventured into the Lost World will have heard the music before... Also, the track is primarily a percussion affair. No catchy melody... at first. And it's possible that people could confuse this track with others, and think it's a medley. I've noticed that part of the tune in the DKC2 jungle track is borrowed from DKC's underwater stage... This could make it tough for some to classify...

I guess I shouldn't really review this track of Protricity's here and now because I haven't heard it yet! My colledge doesn't allow MP3 downloads, and that's where I am... :(

But Protricity is my #1 fav ReMixer of all time, so it's bound to be a winner! Keep doing DKC2 stuff dude, your reinterpretations and David's original score make for an awesome combination! Bravo Protricity!

Oh, no, there's a melody. But what nobody seems to realize is that, as I've pointed out countless times, the DKC2 jungle song is merely a (very well done) remix of the DKC Aquatic Ambiance theme. Listen to them back to back and you'll see what I mean.

This makes remixing the jungle theme only slightly redundant, though.
