SwordBreaker Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Currently my favorite track in the album. I'm still in that phase in which the amount of new music is too overwhelming it'll take me a couple of listens to get through the whole album, but this track caught my ear and will no doubt end up my absolute favorite. I absolutely loved Monkey Kong's "Dolphin Ride"...one of my favorite remixes out of the site. This one amps it up a lot in terms of mixing and mastering. Sounds fresh and funky. I'm assuming that's thanks in part to Mr. Wise. The ambiance of the track is really strong, just like Dolphin Ride. I'm loving the synth and solos here and there. I'd like to know where David Wise contributed in terms of playing in the track? Is it that sax solo towards the end of the track? If so, then it's absolutely epic just as the rest of the remix.

Cody Wedel Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Yep, he contributed that beautiful saxophone solo near the climax of the song. This track was also mixed and mastered by David Wise himself as you guessed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This track was also mixed and mastered by David Wise himself as you guessed To be fair, the write-up talked about the mixing and mastering by Mr. Wise so I didn't guess that. I did guess the sax part though....because I remembered that he had a track on the DKC2 album with live sax. So good to confirm that for me here. Are you part of the band by any chance?

Cody Wedel Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Nah, just album co-director. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwordBreaker Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Nah, just album co-director. LOL. Yeah, no pressure. That doesn't sound like a hard job at all. I didn't pay attention to the names, hence my cluelessness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 As a lover of ReMixes that make good use of the source by a lot, this is right up my listening alley. Brings back the memory of hearing this for the first time on the night time stilt village level. Very nice to hear Dave Wise contribute an awesome sax solo to one of his best tracks ever, as well as put the finishing touches on this bad boy. I actually didn't catch the DKC fanfare at the end until I read the write-up, so that was a nice treat. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Doom Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I definitely imagine this being performed on a seashore, probably in the early morning or during the sunrise. I like how it picks up at 0:38. I think, the intro is barely connected with the body of track, but I don't mind it. Love that thing (vox?) at 0:42. And yes, as everyone noticed, David's sax solo is killer. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Dunno how I missed this gem when it was first released, but I'm glad to have found it. Great piece, dazzling musicianship all around, and of course Wise's sax is delicious to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
