The DKC2 mine music is one of my all-time favorite pieces of video game music... I still hum it to this day... there's something powerful about it... it FEELS empty and infinite, like a cave, and this '80's-licious rock mix captures that vibe a lot better than I'd had expected. Gorgeous.
Regardless of how bad ass this mix is, I'd still like to hear something closer to the original tune... that hard-edged industrial sort of thing.
