I say this from a completely objective point of view. Exactly eight of the 29 tracks are in a major key, and two of them are slow and relaxed. The songs on this CD are rather fast and *can* be classified as frantic. But most of the songs are quick and upbeat, even the ones in the minor key.Īs I said before, the songs of "Donkey Kong Country 2 Soundtrack" could be described as majestic. It's the most relaxing track of the whole trilogy. Not to say that the songs are all frantic, though. "The Original Donkey Kong Country Soundtrack" is pretty fast-paced right from the start. I'm reviewing each one individually because of the style differences. Below are reviews for each individual disc. ![]() For some reason I just don't think that a symphony playing even one of these songs would have the true intended effect. From the soft, easy-listening style of DKC1 to the majestic, almost royal music of DKC2 full of strong percussion and strings, to the playful, fun music of DKC3, the variety on these discs doesn't disappoint.Īll of the songs have a definite in-your-face synthesizer feel, and though it might have been the only technology available at the time, it seems intentional in creating a mood. The important thing to know about Donkey Kong Country Trilogy is, although all three discs are from the same series, the games were created at different time periods, and therefore the styles of music on each CD are noticeably different.
