ReMix:Donkey Kong Land "Revisiting the Ruins" 3:50

So relaxing. Makes me look forward to spring and return of green and birdsongs.

Ah, smooth bossa nova... That's just what the doctor ordered. Don't get the idea of title, though, because I can't imagine ruins at all when I'm listening to this piece. The guitar work is pretty fine indeed and the bass @2:09 is nice as well. Very cool relaxing tune

I really love it around 1:45 when the birds come in. Relax~ c:

How you managed to make a song from this game sound so beautiful is beyond me.

Close your eyes and you feel like your swinging from the treetops, waterfalls cascading in the background, creating mini rainbows. Then you dive into the crystal clear water and swim off through some sort of lost civilisation, observing the beauty of this pristine world, Finally, you resurface into the glow of sunset, feeling content and at peace with the world

Great stuff here by Mr. Burns

I don't remember hearing this one, but I couldn't help but take a look when I saw it said it was by Patrick Burns by it.

This mix for the most part still a nice song, although I think one of the lower end synths could've been worked on.

i love when the subtle arps come in around 2:20... oh if only I had me a spliff

Beautiful remix!! =] I listen to it almost every day...it's soooo relaxing! =]

omg how did I miss this one?!

Classically beautiful and pristine. This has such a controlled and elegant approach, but it's so full of life. Adding to the fact that i'd probably never hear the source tune otherwise, this is a total gem. I am absolutely in love with the marimba sounding instrument that comes in with all the delays near the beginning. Great emotive guitar playing, and some very well used and thought out effects.

I'm sad that there's only one mix of his at OCR, when he has several on his site that would fit in pretty well.

Anyways, I can't recommend this mix enough, and also check out the tracks on his homepage.

I LOVE this remix.

I had never heard the original song before I heard this. I can safely say that I don't want to listen to the original song now.

This remix is amazingly chill. The sounds are crystal clear. The production, arrangement, and mixing are top notch. I love the way Patrick added in the sounds of the birds and the water. It adds a depth of realism to the remix. I also like how it takes you 'underwater' for a segment of the remix. The sounds totally change.. and the parts written for it sounds just like something I could picture as underwater.

Amazing quality. Patrick is a great remixer.

I've personally sent him an email before and he is incredibly helpful and kind.

Keep up the great work bro.

I will always be listening to this remix.

First of all I loved the mix, but I want to point out a small error in the tag that I think everyone missed. In the "album" field under the properties of the file (in the metadata), the colon is missing from http://www.ocremix.org. Just thought I'd point that out, maybe its been fixed already, who knows.

Edit: Nevermind, seems to be fixed...

Eh it's not bad, not my taste but in either case there's talent in it.

Oh ok, thanks. I've never played Donkey Kong Land though, but I think it is on Donkey Kong Country (GBA) too, because I remember recording it along with the other DKC level songs and listening to them back before I found this site. Anyways, this song never ceases to amaze me and set me at peace. I wish I had some sheet music for the xylophone part, because I used to play xylophone and it is really awesome.

Nice work. Very smooth and laid-back remix that's simply fun to listen to. My favourite part is when the song picks up some speed at 2:39; basically the climax of it.

Wow! This is what OCRemix is all about. Great job. And now to set this to my sunday morning alarm clock...

Going to keep a closer eye on this remixer.

Great remix. True to the original, with a very nice overall upgrade in arrangement, texture, and atmosphere. The structure is great, the instruments and effects used are all very appropriate, and it has a nice flow throughout. The top-notch production is well balanced, and it's some of the more subtle touches that really make the piece come together wonderfully. The most predominant aspect that really makes the remix stand out to me, though, is the way you took the song 'through the level' by transition from land, to underwater, and back to land at the end. Very creative, and executed perfectly. The section from 1:41 to 2:39 is my personal favorite. Very pretty.
