fetusboy Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Didn't Protricity cover this track before? He did something called "Enter the Cryptic Wood". I have no biased opinion as to which is better so, I conclude they're both awesome. Keep the DKC2 mixes comin' big guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smh Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 Now, I'm just waiting for a Kannon's Klaim remix!!! http://rks.no-ip.com/~protricity/DKC2%20Redux/Ogg/Protricity_-_Journey_Through_the_Mines_DKC2_Redux.ogg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonicANS Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 wow, what a masterpiece. This is exactly the quality of DKC2 music I would expect from Protricity. I do feel that DKC2 has one of the best soundtracks of any game. Keep up the great work and thank you for yet another awesome piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteo Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 Not a bad song at all. The only part I don't like is inbetween 3:00 and 5:00. The drums sound a bit too fake for my liking. But other than than, I can't find anything else wrong with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomINTELLECT Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 This mix fucking rules. This guy knows what he is doing. He should do a Kremland remix too, but that's just me wishing. Anyway, this song is great, it's so laid back and firm grip on production can be seen. Keep making the hits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Adams Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 It took me awhile to download this ReMix and I'm glad I finally did. This is such an awesome mix and my favorite by the man, Protricity. It's worth the whole 6:40. It never gets tiring; it just keeps getting better and better! Amazing work, Protricity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarKirby Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Well,m this is a pretty awesome mix. Very nice and springy. Although I must say that the chirping wasn't the greatest for me, I liked hearing the 'Ghost Rope' sound more. But, still, a pretty good mix.

zircon Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 This is probably my favorite track from Prot also. It seems as though compared to his other DKC2 mixes there is a greater proficiency in mixing, mastering, and arranging. Also, the samples used are quite good. The new age-ish progression and execution is both relaxing and well done. The 'birdcussion' is quite catchy, and not at all grating or overly repetitive. In fact, the piece as a whole is not repetitive, though you might expect it to be because of the length. Two thumbs up. Keep up the good work.

Chris McGee Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 HOLY CRAP. I wish this kind of stuff could be in the games. EDIT: Heheh. My mom heard me listening to this, and even she said it was nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted April 21, 2004 Share Posted April 21, 2004 This is the best remix ever! It is in the top 1 You will easily recognise the original song / instruments of dk2, but greatly enhanced! I'm always jumping to this song in my winamp playlist, and i listen it twice because it is so good! It seems like it can be the Nintendo orchestrated version of the original song! Protricity, you're on the road of perfection! Continue to create such good remixes of Dk2 and of all others DK games! Sorry for my bad english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debotron-6K Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 Beautiful. Out of the thirteen remixes that Pr0t has had posted to OCR chronologically up until this point, I believe this to be his most well-developed and most creative mix. Must-have.

Aninymouse Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I suppose I'm not an integral part of this community at all... I rarely post anywhere but in ReView anymore. I post about once every so many months, at that. I'm a lurker, you see. I post when I just feel It'd be a crime not to. That said... This ReMix commands my attention. The first time I heard it I was blown away. I got the chills. I closed my eyes and just listened... I think I had it on replay about a dozen times. Seems like every time I'd listen to it I'd hear a little something I hadn't before, like the ghost SFX from the rope ghosts - I sadly cannot remember the exact name of the level or area offhand - or the subtle echos of the original synth around 3' or so... Sometimes I wonder what it is about the Donkey Kong Country games and their music that is so appealing to me. Sometimes I wonder why I still feel like they were the best gaming experience I've ever had. Only a few RPGs can hold a place in my heart as close as them. What was Rare's inspiration? Where did David Wise and the other come from? Did Nintendo realize what they had, or do they even do today? Anyway, I'm getting off track... I'm a sentimental type... So here's my verdict: this is one of the top ten remixes on this site, hands down. This ReMix has become a personal favorite. After listening to this I found it hard to listen to almost all the other electronica on OCR without feeling a lack in quality... like something that I once heard is no longer there anymore. I don't know if it's fair to say this or not, but I feel like I've seen the highest mark a ReMix can currently reach, and anything in the same genre just seems so contrived in comparason. I have to stop typing at some point, so I might as well close now before I go on for another six paragraphs. Ari, I don't know if you'll read this or not, but this is my personal thank-you to you for putting so much love into this remix. It's not just that it's a great song, and that I play it so many times on loop at a time people in the general area slowly move away ( ), but it's the fact that this ReMix has a certain texture and emotion to it. It not only captures the emotion and texture of the original music, but for me it sublimates into something more. It's hard to put into words... It has beauty, it has soul, it has life all its own. It is its own microcosm. It has such a powerful mix of nostalgia and art it takes all other things off my mind. When I listen to this, I get this feeling that I am not being lied to. That is the best possible combination of words I can find right now. Not "I feel like I'm hearing the truth." Just that I'm not being lied to. I don't know what to say. 10/10. Five stars. Ari, with every one of your mixes I've heard, your skill continues to grow. I take comfort in the knowledge that you still love the whole experience, DK and all. You have real talent. God bless you, man. ~Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I'm a big fan of this mix. I loved the song to begin with and this is a delightful little journey through it's melodies and possible variations. There's something captivating about this song, I keep finding myself coming back to it. Definately a fan of the harder drums @ 3:33... brings it so much flow. The flourishes of percussion like at 4:25 show you know what you're doing, you're not kidding around. Plus the beautiful and pro sounding piano, beautiful synth lines and realistic/appropriate sound effects. Good job Protricity, another score.

jedipsohn Posted May 24, 2004 Share Posted May 24, 2004 I signed up to post on these forums just to share my opinions on this song. I've not heard a better remixed song on this site and the musical complexity of it blows me away. I've proabbly listened to this song about thirty times now, and every time I listen it only gets better. The quality of this music rivals much professional stuff outside of the video game world. The remix is rich with perfectly scored melodies, and the samples are all right-on. The bird-chirping even adds to the beautiful, ethereal spring feel. The early drums are perfect...I don't know what else to say. The song amazes me as I hear all the things in the background that I haven;t heard before. All the piano runs in the background are nice, and the synth bass is perfect for the occasion. Ok, enough of my rambling...but this is my favorite remix of all.

pype Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 really great stuff ... clear sound, soft mood ... perfectly fits the remember i had of the song. I loved the original tune, the remix is wonderful ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Less Ashamed Of Self Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Oh I get it, Bird Percussion shortened to Birdcussion. BAHAHA! That's witty! (It's sad how long it takes me to get things sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krythan Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 To think I overlooked this remix because of its name...I feel like a moron. Its by Protricity, of course its gold Those birds are really cool, and the beat is kinda relaxing...I like this remix better every time I listen to it. 8/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalculatedRisk Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 In keeping with the general concensus, while I'm loving every one of Protricity's DKC mixes, this has got to be my favorite. I recently took a cross country drive, and don't know *how* many times I played it going through the Colorado Rockies. The song just seemed to fit the whole atmosphere-- trees, birds, sunshine. Definitely a relaxed, laid back tune with a floaty, peaceful rhythm you can get lost in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Protricity is just great with downtempo/chillout. And this remix probably surpasses his Brambles in the Breeze in terms of quality. All the instruments sound in clear as mud. The drum improvisation around 4:40 is worth noting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kxo Krazoa 6 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Absolutely fantastic! The synths are simply amazing! Goes from an extremely soothing melody to an awesome beat around 1:00. Definetly one of my favs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordex Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 This is so friggin awesome! It's one of my new faves now! Wish I knew about it sooner! Hehe, just love that birdcussion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeOmega Posted September 18, 2004 Share Posted September 18, 2004 This hella reminds me of the Forest Whitaker movie[iGhost Dog opening. It has it's own beat, it's own life, and the freedom of a bird. Something about those Donkey Kong remixes. Makes me wonder if I would have enjoyed the game.

Flame Stallion Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Heh, seems Protricity wanted to put vocals in this mix. I can see how they would be... uh... "out of place", but I'm looking forward to a vocal mix by Protricty sometime down the road. Anyway, yeah, this is a very relaxing, high-quality remix. One of my favorites so far.
