Another huge thanks to my Patrons for making this video possible! This is another arrangement that I put off for a long time because it was too expensive to record, but now that I've got some money coming in from my generous Patrons, I was able to buy the bass recorder and the trash can that are seen in this video (I may or may not have returned the trash can after I was finished banging on it). This video and Spiral Mountain were two of my Patreon goals that were met, so now that I'm finished recording these, I'm going to get back to my Chrono Trigger arrangements for a while.

This video just blew my mind. Allow me to explain.

When I was a lot younger, I used to watch my older brother when he played Donkey Kong Country 2. Some of my favorite times were when we had a plate of butter cookies on the table. The fact that you used such a lid for percussion is an amazing coincidence, and brought back a few memories for me.

I seem to remember he was on the beehive levels at that time.

Dude your DKC covers are criminally underrated. This is incredible.

[enriquemartellhernandez]

Ahhhh "The Chancla" my favorite instrument!

[manray]

I wondered how you would do that little percussion beat in the beginning before the beat kicks in. I was not disappointed.

You beautiful human being, I'm having serious eargasms with this.

[zacharydetrick]

keep coming back here, this is probably my favorite video on all of youtube

[Rhinogradentian]

It's interesting, listening to the original midi from the game makes me feel painful nostalgia for when I was young, but this version with fresh instruments makes me just feel pure happiness.

These are the best vgm covers on youtube. I will fight anyone who disagrees.,

Melhor trilha sonora de todos os games já produzidos até hoje

[leandrorodrigues]

Chorei.. Me lembrei da minha infância. Que não tinha condições de ter um vídeo game mas sempre jogava na casa de amigos. Arrepiante.. Nice job.. Congratulations!!

I am really glad your channel was on my recommended list a few months ago

[PanzerSeven]

Seriously the best composer of video game covers on Youtube. Keep up the amazing work man.

[jonhconquest]

This blew me away. Keep up the great work!

The genius of this theme is that it makes you think of the working mines. You hear the bell sounds to signify the dimonds, you hear the rhythmic steel and tinking sounds to literary signify the sound of working miners using the picaxe to break rock and diamonds and throwing diamonds and gold into the mine carts and then there is this low sound that kinda sounds like bees to signify the wind blowing in the caves. David Wise did an amazing job on this theme on not only making making it very catchy, but making you think of miners at work going along with the beat. Another thing I would add is that the instruments used is all most all metal and steel so it proves the point that the mining theme is definitely within the instruments for both this video and the original soundtrack.

I can't think of the last time I was brought to tears because of a musical endeavor❤❤❤

[smackanation]

Could someone tell me what beautiful instrument that is, starting at 1:30

[PlatanOsO]

god so this is the song in lylah's botw music overhaul, bro I walked in the tech labs and a literally cried because this game and music is my childhood, like I have never been interested too much in music design except for DK country music so hearing this in one of my fav games as a mod I had to sit in the lab and jam for a bit. thank you PPF for making me happy today.

I love the fact that the original soundtracks were just individual sounds saved and then combined later because they couldn't fit the whole song on the carts. That's what I'm seeing here. Good work.
