Wow - helluva first submission from Protricity, who according to the ID3 tag used ModPlug and Cooledit to make this great laid-back techno-groove ReMix from DKC2. This is very high-quality stuff, with excellent sounds throughout, expert use of Cooledit to enhance certain bits with effects that go beyond reverb and delay into ring modulation, distortion, phasing, etc. Mixing loops and percussion with a beautifully played piano line, synth / string pads, a remarkable osc-sync synth lead, and synth nuances throughout, this mix breathes with tremendous fluidity and flows very smoothly. It's not so ornate that you can't listen to it as background music, but it's also really intelligently put together and worth focusing intently on as well. I'd even go so far as to say that I and others have things to learn from this ReMix. Must-have, to be sure. Of course, the original track is also amazing, but Protricity's treatment accentuates all the best bits and he made good calls on mixing decisions across the board. Great to see so many top-notch first-time submissions!

I shouldn't have to explain why.

It really makes me miss the grass on the side of the road as you go to a far away place.
My girlfriend likes it too.

The sound is so rich and crystal clear that it pops majestic inside my headphones.
I also adore the original version. I would sometime replay the stage or just let it sit there while the tune runs in the background back in the mid 90's (no chance of finding an mp3 of that floating around back then)
Proticity did a super-awesome job of doing everything right with this track while also preserving the original sound.

Congratulations [b]Protricity[/b] in my way to see it u even did it better than the original song. I used to love the original one, but now that i heard this remix version... well i cannot stop hearing it once and once again.
Im not a big musician, in fact i cannot even read a score sheet :lmassoff:, but in my younger days i used to be a great video gamer and this game, specially this song always was one of my favorites :)!!
Thanks a lot!!! :)!!

soothing with awesome piano and nice drumbeats.
This is harmony stuffed in a musicfile.
Great stuff! :D

Cool ambience with a very cool rhythmic synth with a raising and dropping EQ
When the piano comes in it reminds me of music from Gunbound which isn't bad, not bad at all
The song continues moving in on, getting more laid back as it goes. There's a sweet drumtrack overtop everything but it all seems so relaxing still
