Composed mostly by David Wise, with additional tracks by Eveline Fischer and Robin Beanland, it featured atmospheric music with melodic and percussive elements, spanning many genres and vibes with many brilliant musical moments in the \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eOST\u003c\/span\u003e that have not only left a mark on generations of gamers, but have also earned this \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eOST\u003c\/span\u003e recognition far beyond the usual video game \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eOST\u003c\/span\u003e spheres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndeed, from 1940s swing, to atmospheric ambient matching the various landscapes encountered in the game, via danceable bangers and highly evocative library pieces, this \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eOST\u003c\/span\u003e has it all. However, hardware limitations at the time meant that the music on the \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eSNES\u003c\/span\u003e cartridge was highly compressed and difficult to enjoy without having a console handy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnter Jammin’ Sam Miller. Using hex \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eSPC\u003c\/span\u003e data crudely converted to \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eMIDI\u003c\/span\u003e, the producer painstakingly recreated DKC’s soundtrack note by note, by finding the original equipment used to create it. He then translated the \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eMIDI\u003c\/span\u003e into a modern studio context, adding in keyboard samples, and re-mixing the sounds with added effect and mastering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, the covers he crafted can be considered faithful HD recreations of the originals. They are breathtakingly musical, elevating the original \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eOST\u003c\/span\u003e to new heights and further underlining how brilliant it always was, while also making the point that video game soundtracks should not be looked down upon, quite to the contrary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemastered for vinyl, officially licensed and presented in a limited edition banana yellow double LP.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eNorth America Sales Only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLimited Edition Banana Yellow Double Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eFirst ever physical release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eA faithful HD recreation in all its uncompressed glory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRemastered for vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e MPD036 -Artist-Jammin' Sam Miller\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 3\/2\/23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"JAMMIN' SAM MILLER","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53427792150712,"sku":"4M6OOK-RSPB-HL","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/jammin-sam-miller-donkey-kong-country-ost-recreated_XsA4y.jpg?v=1777668758","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/jammin-sam-miller-donkey-kong-country-ost-recreated","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
