    OCRA-0036 - Donkey Kong Country 3: Double the Trouble!

    in Album Reviews & Comments

    Might try and find time to do a track-by-track review of at least the SNES ones. I'll listen to the GBA tracks when I have time, but as I never played that version I have no appreciation of the source material whatsoever. Are any older DKC themes incorporated into it (as with both DKC2 and DKC3 SNES) or is it completely fresh stuff?

    You should really check this stuff out. Hey, it's Dave Wise returning after all. And yes, you will hear some familiar melodies in there! :)

    Oh, and StarTrick, I'm having no problems with those FLAC files, myself. I can send you the files, if you want--perhaps they got corrupted in a torrent download or something?

    Could be, but I already re-downloaded the 3 files to make sure of that, and the problem was still there, so I don't really know. But if you have a chance to send me the files, I sure would love to try that. Thanks in advance! :)

    Hello there,

    I have a question about the FLAC's in this set. There are three FLACs in the set which somehow I can't get to work;

    -4-08 Sea Breeze Concerto (Stilt Village GBA) [Monkey Kong feat. David Wise]

    -5-04 Treetop Intense (Treetop Tumble) [Danton F.]

    -5-08 Banana Revolution Slam-the-Breaks Edit (Cranky's Showdown) (Flexstyle vs. J. Covenant, AkumajoBelmont)

    When I try to play or decode them, I get this error message: (FLAC_FILE_DECODER_SEEKABLE_STREAM_DECODER_ERROR)

    So, this set is out for a little while and no one complained about that, so... I guess the problem is on my end? Either way, what can I do to make them work?

    Other than that I'd like to say that I love this album, really.

    The Donkey Kong Country games were always some of my favourite games as a kid (especially 2) and I always loved the soundtracks, and when Kong in Koncert was released, it totally made my day. Serious Monkey Business was even better, and well this one here sure doesn't dissappoint either. I love that both soundtracks of the game are feautured, and I totally love the scope of it. I also really like the decision to put several arrangements for one track on the album, not only you have some sort of alternative in case you don't like one of the remixes, it also helps making the album more consistent thanks to "recurring themes" throughout.

    Well, whatever. Great work!

    Since this was released, I hardly listened to anything else...
