Donkey Kong Country - Life in the Mines [Restored]

[retired]

They can't play this at my funeral because I'll wake up

The fact that this is the last normal level song you hear before fighting the final 2 bosses makes it seem like the game is bidding you farewell...

David Wise is such a genius. His DKC tracks are just absolutely timeless.

[ChildofGod]

my dad died in 1996, I was 13. This was one of the games we played together. He was disabled so couldnt do much with us kids but he could play nintendo with us and so that is what we did. This song reminds me of him and the fact he is gone. Idk its so depressing to me yet nostalgic I cant help but listen to it

[fritzeyok]

The graphics of this game were impressively ahead at that time.

Donkey Kong Country: Cultivating Synthwave before it was even a genre

[lonecom]

Happy 30th aniversary Donkey Kong Country! You're a legendary game and we can still feel your influence today

[Thitoss]

Man, mark my words, the day I'll have a reasonable salary for the first time in my life, I'll give you an incredible donation. This work of yours is very important to me. Thank you for this.

[FearMonarch]

This whole project of "fixing" the original audio for this game just gives me chills of nostalgia and even more of an appreciation for the compositions

[bp-lxlf]

This is SOOO phenomenal for an SNES track, it’s amazing how similar this sounds to the DKCR version despite the updated technology.

I love how the natural jungle sounds and instruments fuse so well with the mining/industrial motif. This actually sounds like concert quality music now. I'd totally pay to hear a band play this music!

[johnfraleee]

These songs that David Wise created really take you on a journey, so many instruments with highs and lows. If you didn’t know, you would never believe it was made for a video game in 1995.

I wish I could go back to the 90s when I would watch my older brothers and older cousins play this for hours. Those days were so awesome and I love that we did that

[mimosa]

This is still one of the most beautifully soul-soaring compositions I've ever heard. And now I'm about to listen to your edit. I may cry.
Edit: This is the music piece within which I felt the other half of my soul answer my call (when one flute "calls" and a softer flute "answers".) That is when I first knew that he actually existed. 16 years later we met in flesh, I had a spiritual awakening, and my life changed.

[marvinthemaniac]

I remember having the time of my life playing this game in the first grade!

[retrosynthonicofficial]

A genius theme that hints at the belly of the beast to come while summoning a rallying cry harnessed from the troubles endured

[JakeRaymanVideoProductions]

This is has so much emotion for me and for the game it represents, and often makes me cry Hahahah the magic of Donkey Kong Country. The series is just spectacular

[StayGold]

Life in the Mines is my personal favorite track in Donkey Kong Country.

[youabeach]

I use this song for my stretches after my workout. It helps relieve the mind, body and spirtually.

[horchata]

This, in my opinion, was and is the best song in the game!
