Kong in Concert - Donkey Kong Country Arrangements

Posted by Hemos on from the good-things-to-listen-to dept.

Digital Coma writes "Kong in Concert, a project directed by myself and coordinated by familiar artists of the unofficial game music arrangement community, has been released at http://dkcproject.ocremix.org and spotlighted at OverClocked ReMix. Its purpose is to pay respects to the excellent Donkey Kong Country SNES soundtrack and honor its composers with 22 rearrangements (or ReMixes) of every song from the game in high quality MP3 and OGG. We also have a BitTorrent distribution of the album's whole WAV compilation. If you like the idea of free, non-commercial videogame remixes, check us out."

    Perhaps the /. community could support this project by having Cowboy Neal stand on a tall ledge and throw barrells at people.

    I had no idea other people thought the DKC music was good - I used to leave my SNES on, sit idle in various levels, and blast the music through the stereo with the TV off.

    No joke.

    Because DKC had such a ground breaking storyline?

    FYI: It's 1 re-arrangement of each of the 22 songs, not 22 of each song like I anticipated when I followed the link =P

    Didn't you see that academic paper? 'Hermeneutics and the Narrative Discourse in Donkey Kong Country - A Feminist Perspective'.

    Donkey Kong: Country Arrangements?

    Whew, for a second I thought Donkey Kong was going to be singing Achey Brakey heart or something. What a relief.
