| Haste_2 04/25/20 8:35:22 PM #225: | 129) Donkey Kong Country - Fear Factory Series rank: 4 of 5 https://youtu.be/v18pEFQb3EM Composer: David Wise(?) Score: 7.5/10 (Great) VGMC History: VGMC 7 (Lost R2), VGMC 8 (Lost R5 to Innocent Primeval Breaker) Favorite Part: The intro Oh, hey, that's kinda funny that this lost to IPB, but FF gets its revenge, beating it out by one spot! Back in 94, this was the cutting edge of video game music. The SNES did not have anything like this before DKC. I love that soft beeping basso continuo. The soft electric guitar-like hairpins make the semi-industrial atmosphere give me goosebumps. What an intro! Then comes a delightful xylophone melody with that NICE forte-piano chord at the end. And then it turns out the xylophone is just a preparatory melody for the REAL melody at 0:44! Cool. (Yeah, thats something I like about DKC music is that its more interesting than just melody + accompaniment.) Then most of the sounds drop out at and you get an almost chimp-sounding, but calm, ambient little concluding figure...very cool. I like that reverberating staccato, which then is basically echoed by the piano. The offbeats starting at 1:11 (first the drum, then the trumpets) are a cool nerdy thing I like. --- "Ah, a party! We haven't had one of those. It could be fun! So... what is a party?" "Well, you drink punch and eat CAKE! ...I think." ... Copied to Clipboard! |
