I remember refusing to finish the stage just because I don't wanna stop the song. So goood

Instant time machine back to Christmas of 1995 when I got this as a 13 year old. Staying up late on break from school navigating yet another Donkey Kong game with not a care in the world. Those 1st two games were so great. Music and memories of my childhood. Miss those days.

1:10 this is where the song gets so damn beautiful.... especially at 1:28, makes me cry sometimes...

these 15 minute versions are perfect for someone with ADHD like me who spend 13 minutes subconsciously vibing but still get 2 minutes of dedicated appreciation

David Wise was/is, in my opinion, the John Williams of SNES music. Whereas John Williams' scores are intended, quite often, for the entire family to enjoy (such as Star Wars), his scores do lean towards the mature adventure side of the musical spectrum, if that makes sense. Wise's music is the exact same thing as William's, except that it is aimed at children and adolescents. It perfectly conveys a child's sense of wonder and adventure in the various settings we can see in this game and others he has scored, without losing any atmosphere or anything. In fact, environments are just as well experienced as if they were scored by film composers for films containing similar locations. Wise's music stands alone, unique, yet in the same league as Williams

Nothing like how most lava levels sounds these days, really shows off the majestic side to volcanoes, usually seen only as threatening and omnious.

Honestly I've never said this before but I feel like it's justified. You're doing god's work

the donkey kong country 2d platforms are easily the greatest platformers ever made, they blow all of the mario and sonic games out of the water

One thing I've always really liked about this track is how groovy the drums are. They're usually not something I notice much in music but in this song its hard to miss them.

Man, I love the work you're doing on these tracks, and how you interact with the community to take feedback to heart even though you're already putting in so much work. This is another great restoration, it makes me feel that sense of wonder of the days when I was a bright-eyed 10 year-old playing DKC2 for the first time all over again. Much love, please keep up the good work!

I love how in most games, lava based stages have dramatic or evil sounding music, yet here, its all calm, like its an easy area and lava barely hurts you.

Childhood restoration, thanks to you and whoever else was involved in these restorations. And of course most importantly David Wise.

DKC2 is one of the best games ever made

This song BANGS. First time playing this level the other day and it felt like I stumbled across gold

I used to consider Mining Melancholy, Jungle Hijinx and Stickerbush Symphony as my most favorite tracks in the series, but honestly I think Hot Head Bop is just an entirely different beast. The instruments that kick in at around 1:10 is just got DAMN.

There is honestly not one bad soundtrack in the DKC franchise.

I tend to hate volcano levels, but Donkey Kong Country 2 is the only game where I can enjoy the level, not just for the music, but the whole feeling of progress and challenge.

The original composers need to be given an award for these timeless classics

Madonna "Keep it Together"

6:59 lol, bet that was frustrating.

this has been my jam while i rebuild hot head hop in halo infinite

Just from the random gameplay clips. I thought.. This might be one of the best platformers ever made. I would have no problem with this being one of the few video games I let my future kids experience. Just imagine.

I was there for a while when you were making this one. It's amazing, and I'm reminded every time I hear it that this is a very underrated track. It's downright beautiful.

David Wise is Gold

esas cansiones jamas van ha morir es bueno que gente de nuestra epoca siga escuchando esta joya como haorita puro peso pluma

Should probably add (extended version) in title so people don't get confused

Never noticed how much this song reminds me of "Teardrop" by Massive Attack

The soundtrack of this game is on another level. ❤

Was waiting for this one in particular for very long, is great

i can hear "the sound " uo woap " from crocs

90s Rareware soundtracks fcking SLAPPED🎶

Normally I think of low bit sounds as an instrument on their own. I always found HQ songs in remakes a bit blasé, and yet hearing this it just sounds a bit better. They're the same instruments, but a higher quality sound.

I adore the way you made the song finish. Amazing work.

The SNES soundchip still blows me away

Just found your channel. You are doing some amazing work my friend.

Call your parents guys, show them some love, not sure why I'm saying this but I miss them while listening to this

Definitely one of my favorites. Come to think of it, most of my favorites are in DKC2. The only one I really care for in 3 is the machine levels music. Thanks as always Sam.

Una de las mejores canciones de los videojuegos para mi..bravo esa época de 16 bits.que nostalgia

There is something oddly comforting about the music in the first 2 DKC games that I can't really explain

Se que es música para un juego de changuitos pero la música más chingona de todos los tiempos.

I love this song, thanks for making it sparkle.

Thank you for this! I love this song

one of the best games ever made not only because the amazing adventure of boyfriend and girlfriend but the beautiful music that contours it

Some of the best music to listen to while working---- these soundtracks are awesome ---brilliant

Hyped for the full MSU1 hack! Great work

Beautiful, thanks so much 👌❤

i was waiting for this

As a kid I kept falling in the lava and getting frustrated because I wanted to listen to this song. Those crocodile heads were hard to aim for. At one point I decided to just stay still and enjoy the music.

I'm starting to believe DKC's music was MADE to evoke nostalgia

Man thanks for everything

I love your work

Hot Head-Hop / Red Hot-Ride / Fiery Furnace!

This is rhe best soundtrack for a video game ever you can hear the bubbles and are part of the soundtrack not the game is soo well done

Another very well done ending thank you

The Bass on this song is Amazing imho essentially this Bass is why this is a Bop

another killer track yo!!

Absolute banger!

Goosebumps all over.

Que melodia mais linda top e sensacional parabéns pelo trabalho lindo fantástico

Ufff this for work is sooooo good

This channel slaps so fucking hard

Best memories ever. Love ya man👏👏👏🥂👍!!!!

Fyi, this song is missing in the Playlist it belongs in, on your channel. Aside from that, you are doing amazing things brother! 😎👍

You always do an amazing job when restoring these

This sounds like the Tremonti song Trust 😂 look it up

The quality is insane :)

Man, such brilliance

Top e sensacional ficou ótimo parabéns

what a gem full of memories...

You Rock!

The SNES was capable of so much.

This is hypnotizing!!

Props for actually playing Fiery Furnace for this video. That's the hardest level in the game.

Perfection.

Amazing !!!!!

That's it, I'm subscribing

The piano riff really just hits different in this one.

Esta es mi infancia me encanta este soundtrack gran trabajo *-*

this music is magical

So many memories..

Best song ever 👍

Excellent😍👏👏👏👏👌

i dont understand, why is a laval level with monkeys riding a giant spider so damn melancholic. These guys delivered above and beyond than what they were supposed to. like somehow they wanted to demonstrate their talent no matter what topic they were covering

Cara essa música é demais!👏👏👏👏👏

Great! Though, forgive me, there might be a mistake at 1:41. I think, if I’m not mistaken, the notes on the background plucking are meant to go D B D E D G# D B instead of D B D E D G D B

The lava boiling is the best part.

Solid Lava !

Juliano juju só quem já jogou sabe né pessoal o tanto que ė top e se jogo né pra mim é dos melhores jogos que eu já joguei

It’s weird how there’s so many bugs living in those caves. 🐝🕷🐞

Has anyone else noticed how Red Hot Chili Peppers' "The Getaway" bass solo at around 2:40 sounds exactly like the beginning of this song? I can't help but think of this whenever I hear that song

You ever notice that the sign with the 🚫 on squitter is actually an ant, and not a spider? It has a head, a thorax, and an abdomen, where spiders only have a head and abdomen.

Quem nunca jogou dk 1 2 ou 3 pelo - nao teve infancia kkkkk

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Lore of Donkey Kong Country 2 - Hot Head Bop [Restored] Extended momentum 100

I played this while making a presentation about volcanoes for a grad school class

alguem dá um oscar honorário pro david wise! ❤

@Jammin' Sam Miller any chance we can get a google drive directory link to all the files? Having to get the individual file links from each youtube video description is a major pain. There is a dropbox directory link that still works, but all the flac files were recently deleted from it... and the flacs are what I want.
