👴 Old Composer Reactions 🤘
LOL - yea, that joke at @0:42 - dunno what I was thinking. Join me on Twitch Wed and Sat for some more live streaming www.twitch.tv/keyofgeebz - Never know what else I might say LOLOL
I lost it at this comment 😆
Point 1: nice little joke!
Point 2: you dont have to apologize if you get a text from your daughter! I think most can relate!
Point 3: I noticed that you already had the Final Fantasy 7 Original Music experiance. That was a nice video, but i would like to hear your point of view on the Final Fantasy 9 music too, since it was also on the Playstation 1 and the last game Nobuo Uematsu did fully himself. It's said, that he burned himself out, after he gave so much to the game.
You were thinking of Honkey Dong. that's a _very_ different game. A _hard_ game, I'm told. And decently long.
I'd sooner assume that some of those "productions" occasionally have nice music
still made me laugh
What a legendary ost, time will never diminish this masterpiece.
Ahahahaha, I've never heard Donkey Kong music compared to porn music, but that's really not an unreasonable comparison for this track. Thanks for continuing to respond to music that built our childhood. You have no idea how much space these soundscapes take up in my brain.
LMAO you absolutely don't have to apologize for that joke in the beginning, that was hilarious. And now that you've said it, I kinda hear it, and I can't unheard it 🤣🤣
And knowing the donkey Kong community, we could expand our dongs to it.
With all the "Reacts" channels out there, very few actually make me feel like I'm learning something.
As an apprentice in music production, I appreciate that you react to all my childhoods favorites, but I appreciate even more all the knowledge you share like the mono or ping pong delays and so on, its super useful, never stop doing that!
I appreciate that
We need to put this man on to some Metroid music!
AM2R soundtrack
you mentioning "in the Air tonight" makes me think you should check out Bayou Boogie from this game. David Wise was literally trying to emulate sounds and instruments from that song for this track, it's pretty rad.
Yeah man the intro of Bayou is so similar to In the Air Tonight, one of my top tracks from DKC2, timeless music from all 3 games.
Same with mining melancholy, give a listen to metal on metal by Kraftwerk, exactly identical intro
I am so happy to see "Mining Melancholy" make it on here. That's a song I know at least requested in comments earlier. My favorite DKC track
Jungle Hijinx isn’t the menu theme, it’s the music for the first level. There is a main menu theme and also a level select song that sometimes get mixed up with the song of the first level.
One of the most crazy things to me about these compositions from David Wise was the tools he used to make these tracks on the SNES. He was heavily limited by what he could load at once in memory and developed a lot of interesting programming techniques with the SNES Sound Sequencer to quick load different samples while the song was playing live on the system; this way he could pull in way more sounds and do the large sweeps that he was so known for in these tracks.
Havent heard these tracks since the 90s... they still sound good. They did an incredible job
Somehow, the entire game was all composed and engineered by a singular British guy in his 20s. Definitely incredible
DKC2 was the first time in my life that i was exposed to this KIND of music and it changed me for LIFE.
Do Stickerbush symphony, Lockjaw Lockeroom, and Fear factory. 😃
And Krook's March from DKC2
He literally says in this very video that he already did Stickerbrush (not "Stickerbush") Symphony.
@@L33PL4Y And I have yet to see it. Do you have a link? Or are you just literally being annoying?
Donkey Kong Snes' music is a technical marvel of Samples, waves, fades, delays and echoes that had to be keyed in hexadecimal by hand. It was a ton of work to type in music like that. And not only was it typed like that to save space on the cartridge, but the sound chip only had like 64kb of RAM. So this music had to play in tandem with sounds effects of the player, the enemies, and objects.
That's why you heard things like bird chirps and insects into the composition itself, because including them in the music channels were a way to include the ambience of the jungle or environment while still allowing enough RAM to allow sound effects to play through.
It's musical art on a technical level as limitation gives birth to innovation.
DKC 1&2 are quite possibly the best example of their genre.
You should check out PPF's covers of some of these songs, he manages to recreate EXTREMELY close to the original sounds using real instruments (or makeshift things like flip flops and pvc pipes), it's super cool.
oh hell yes, PPF is a massively underrated treasure.
This soundtrack has stayed with me for 25 years. Never once did it age or lost it impact for me. Simply some of the best music composed for any entertainment media, or music ever.
I listen to these tracks all of the time while doing other things, usually computer work. They're so consistently chill.
Jungle Hijinx has been re-recorded so many times, and to this day, it is one of my favorite video game songs. Its sounds AMAZING with real brass.
The metroid games also had an amazing soundtrack. Hope you listen to it too sometime.
Jungle Hijinx is the background song for the first and second stages, it builds up as you progress throught the first stage then once you enter the second stage the song becomes much more foreboding to reflect that you are now no long in the jungle but inside a cave
The opening title song for DKC is like peak 90's. It's so cheeky, it always makes me smile. Feels like Shigeru Miyamoto kicking in your door and going "HEY KID, WE GOT 16 BITS IN HERE NOW, IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD, I'M ABOUT TO ROCK YOUR SOCKS OFF"
ua-cam.com/video/nLT1-5laF0A/v-deo.html
OMG you have to check out Donkey Kong Country 2 “Bayou Boogie” and just how similar it is to Phil Collins “In the air tonight”. I wrote into the rock radio station in australia, they were doing songs that sound alike, they gave it a 10 out of 10 😂
This channel just keeps getting better and better. I love it.
No Stickerbrush Symphony?... On one hand I'm kind of happy that it's not here because it deserves its very own video!! Keep it up!
yes needs
Journey is a good game. It's simple for what it is. I've played it once, took 2 hours Ish. Shovel Knight is more action and movement. Definitely a harder game in comparison.
Fun reaction. I love the dkc game series. You really have to listen to the donkey kong country tropical freeze game soundtrack too. The composer David Wise is a genius.
I've never listened to these tracks before without gameplay, I'm surprised how good they are!
I know how you feel. I played these games as a kid and while I loved the music in the background while playing the game, I never actually paused the game to sit down and listen. I replayed these games for the first time since the 90’s last year and I just had to pause the game and sit and listen several times and my 7 year old daughter was right there next to me listening.
Please, now that you are at Donkey Kong country, react to Gang plank galleon
Interesting fact about Jungle Hijinx is that the song has 3 distinct parts- the buildup intro, then the main segment with the melody, then the slower outdo segment which Geebz thought might’ve been pause menu music. This is because the composer actually made 3 themes for Jungle Hijinx and he was torn on which one to pick, so he combined all 3! That’s why the track is decently long for a game from 1994, most loop after a minute or so.
where can I watch his Stickerbush Symphony react?
What a bummer, you should have gone with the Sam Miller's restored versions for all of the songs. Sam went through the trouble of obtaining synth sounds from that era, to find out the specific instrument banks that David Wise used, prior to downsampling them to fit the SNES hardware. This is something David Wise himself doesn't even have, as he didn't think to "save" a version of the music with the original instruments. When Rare decided to release a music CD with the DKC soundtrack, they pretty much had to use the SNES music, because no higher quality existed.
Idk if anyones told you but the sound mixing for these games characters and enemies is absolutely amazing as well. DKC 1 and 2 being my two favorite games of all time is HEAVILY influenced by how good the music and sounds are for these games. Rare's sound team back in the day was top notch.
This took me back... thanks again for the great reactions!
Always working or asleep during stream (British timezone) but I really appreciate the uploads so frequently and in a timely fashion :) have a good one Geebz ! ! !
If you think Mining Melancholy sounds like "In the Air Tonight," listen to Bayou Boogie.
DKC soundtrack is really awesome! "Northern Hemispheres" is a song you could check out aswell, it's very different compared to the ones you've listened too, but it's very good too
I love DK music. I also really like New Age Retro Hippie from EarthBound on Super Nintendo. Its a great track, you should give it a listen c:
Hey you new to twitch? I didn't know you were over there, too!
Nice
you know what, I think I would really enjoy one of these streams sometime. Might just show up to the next one. You've got such a delightful dad energy. Plus it's so wonderfully innocent hearing a neophyte to gaming asking if there's some way to listen to the music in the game by itself. I grew up on this stuff, and I took "sound tests" for granted. Hell, I think I used them more to input secret codes than to sit and listen to the music. And yet starting in my teens, getting online, listening to game music started becoming something I just flat-out did on its own.
Hey Geebz, I like how you always seem to keep a positive attitude towards any song the community throws at you! I wonder if there's any style, songs or trends you actually dislike? Thanks for all the content, it really helps us appreciate what makes these songs great.
Hi, love your channel and I'm so glad I discovered it!
If you are open to recommendations I would love to recommend any of Frank Klepacki's work on the Red Alert series, but probably the track Hell March (1,2, or 3) as it's the opening title for the games.
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, it's been fun learning so much terminology and listening critically to music!
You NEED to react to The Mafia games soundtrack ! Especially the Menue Theme from mafia 2 ! Those are probably one of the best composed Videgame Soundtracks of all time !
Thanks for reacting to these! I appreciate your insight into different musical techniques, insight, your review, and your reaction! These Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2 games (not so much the Donkey Kong Country 3 game) really impressed me as a kid playing these games with the amazing music. It showed me that games could have intricate music with a lot of depth and be really catchy and enjoyable! David Wise did an awesome job! I still enjoy listening to these songs!
Thanks also for combining songs from similar games or games in a series into one video, makes it easier to go back and watch!
Enjoy your channel!
I have a few requests I would like to make. Specifically pertaining to Final Fantasy composer Nubuo Uematsu and his Deep Purple Influence. I'm a big fan of this era myself, so I'll provide examples below.
(FFVII) - Birth of a God
(FFVII) - Still More Fighting
(FFVII) - J E N O V A
Something interesting I found about that last one (J E N O V A) is that the synthesizer lead is almost note for note the same as the intro to "Mr Crowley" from Ozzy Osbourne. Don Airey played keys on that album and was the keyboardist for Rainbow which was a supergroup formed from Deep Purple. Thus, Airy was within that circle of influence which is why he is Deep Purple's current keyboardist.
If you listen these, I recommend the uncompressed versions from Mathew Valente where uncompressed the samples. Either that or the original versions as newer ones tend to downplay the organ which is so essential to these songs.
Dixie lovers ain't shit (it's easy mode); Diddy whole game! /flex 💪
.

Nah just givin you shit. 😂
If you played DKC2 at all you're cool it's amongst my top 5 SNES.
If I could suggest something it would be the Nier: Automata OST. Amazing game with amazing soundtrack.
Was one of the first ones I did :) ua-cam.com/video/s9yadbDDQqM/v-deo.html
@@rpgeebzmusicarcade No way! How did I not see that?
Donkey Kong OG tracks? DK is older than DKC, OG would be on NES with the game Donkey Kong.
But love it, the music and that you're reacting to it. Best one is Stickerbush Symphony. Where is it!?
One of THE BEST game soundtracks out there. Phenomenal! Try SUIKODEN 1&2!
I have to thank gaming for my appreciation of music and especially orchesta music. I use it to study but also when I want to relax and I can thank Square Enix with Final Fantasy and Kingdom hearts for this.
Disappointed he didn't get to hear DKC final boss song, truly a 16 bit classic
Idc if it's a video game, DKC has some of the best music OF ALL TIME ❤😭
You gotta react Command and Conquer soundtracks by Frank Klepacki there a banger
I love your reactions and musical breakdowns due to your great understanding and insight in music and I especially adore the fact that you react with your entire body.
Although it may not be regarded as any of the greatest ever soundtracks I appreciate the OST of Deep Rock Galactic composed by Sophus Alf Agerbæk-Larsen, you needn't do a reaction to it, but I would greatly appreciate if you did.
I have to say: I really appreciated your breaking down of these songs.
I don't know if you've already done a reaction to this, but "Dire, Dire Docks," from Super Mario 64 is phenomenal. You should definitely check it out if you haven't.
Greatly enjoy your reactions and analysis so far. Great stream 3 weeks ago.
Maybe a curve of recommendation: Fire Emblem Three Houses God Shattering Star. A very operatic piece for a climactic final battle. Maybe the composition is somewhat intriguing for you.
The game was a masterpiece and wish one day we could get an HD version
I'm new to your channel, but I enjoyed this video. You spoke at the end of what you want to start playing, and that's awesome! I don't know if you played games in the 70s-80s and moved on to other hobbies or just dabbled through console generations, but of the choices you were deciding on, I'd recommend Journey for a new player. Games like Hollow Knight and Dark Souls/Bloodborne, while beautiful at what they do, are made to be challenging and push players to their limit. I don't think there's anything wrong with trying them first, but if you reach a wall or become frustrated, please don't become discouraged from playing and finding what games best work for you. Journey is much more about the experience and will help you gain a general knowledge of the controller/keyboard. Whatever you decide, hope you enjoy.
donkey kong 1 and 2 osts, will always be the goats for me.
I hope one day you could talk about Guilty gear strive music, daisuke ishiwatari and the outrage did great job on it "Let Me Carve Your Way" and "Drift" are really out there
Only stumbled on this now. Thanks so much for covering some of the songs of my all time favorite game soundtracks Geebz! Been a fan of them ever since I played the first one 30 odd years ago. David Wise really made some fascinating soundtracks. There was a shoutout there for Banjo Kazooie as well, that was his work too.
Next: f-zero guitar arranged album pls!
Lol for now on, everytime I play this game, I'm never gunna forget that I'm listening to soft core porn donkey kong lmao 🤣 😂
Cant believe I missed this video!! Ahhhhh I've waited ages to hear you react to these songs 🥰🥰 the reality exceeded my expectations! Thanks for pointing out parts of the music that I'd never noticed before, and also thanks for teaching me some new things about some of my all-time favourite songs!
Same, as a non musician, I don't notice a lot of things in my favourite music. Oddly I am much more enjoying music when I have low doses of drugs like benzos. In my youth, i didn't listen at all because most things didn't envoke emotions to me naturally
You need to react to - mass effect 2 OST suicide mission, you won’t regret it
He should check out DKC tropical freeze's soundtrack IMO
I always sing Shout when this track (or stage) starts. LOL
since I was a kid, actually XD
love forest interlude 💗
Definitely go with Journey first! Hollow Knight is great, but Journey is just totally different and flows and is good for people that don't play games much!
omg the nostalgia
Somebody recommend Click Clock Wood from Banjo-Kazooie to him during the next stream. Remember there are different seasonal versions.
David Wise was born in the UK in the 60s. I would be very surprised if he wasn't influenced by Tears for Fears. Grant Kirkhope (another Rare composer) riffed on some Duran Duran songs for the GoldenEye 007 (Nintendo 64) soundtrack.
Do Metroid, please
The first one is from the 5th (out of 6/7) area of the 2nd game (DKC2), which is like a haunted, dreary forest. The second (Jungle Hijinx) is from the first level (and another early jungle level) of the first game (DKC1). The third (Crocodile Cacophony) is the background music of the Final Boss fight in DKC2, aboard K.Rool's flying machine/fortress. The 4th (Mining Melancholy) is from 2 or 3 mine/cave stylized levels from 2nd area and beyond in DKC2.
I'm not sure how much of a gamer you are, but the context of the game with the music does take a lot of these to another level. You mentioned Hollow Knight, that's pretty hard, good luck! :D
It's a wonderful medium, marrying together so many brilliant things... music, art, world building, storytelling, characters and backgrounds, all kinds of humor, competitive spirit, technique, learning-curves, language, social aspects (multiplayer)... Gaming is wonderful.
Jungle Hijinx has a cycle from day to night(That continues into the next stage). The latter part of the theme fits the night vibe more in my opinion, even if many players won’t stick around long enough to hear it with that aesthetic.
DK Island Swing is one of those perfect opening stage themes. The tune is pretty memorable, captures the strength and wild energy of the title character and his environment, but for me it’s that magnificent buildup with each instrument piling on until it all joins together in the lead in to the main melody.
I believe the composer David Wise went on a journey to Europe to create these lovely tracks while working on DKC2. Great stuff.
I love your reactions to this classics you should react to some classics of Genesis as Sonic the hedgehog and Streets of rage...the sound of that system was amazing...and very different
Are you interested in also looking at fan covers of these songs? "Burning Idol" has some great covers here on UA-cam.
I just discovered you today but damn I'm about to binge every video in this playlist and more! Keep this style of videos up, it's always the subtle things that deserve the most analysis.
@10:20 one of the things that Wise was able to use was a built in programmable delay effect available on the standard SNES sound chip. It was basically free to use (in terms of resources) so he leaned hard into it for various things, including 'thickening' shorter (to save rom) but still high quality samples like the DKC Piano, lots of panning, and such.
please please please do Hiroyuki Sawano / Project【emU】 “Attack on Titan” suite - YOU GOTTA!!

Can you post the Donkey Kong Country Stickerbrush Symphony song reaction on UA-cam?
I'd fucking love to see you try hollow knight... Eventually.
Everything about the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack is ridiculous though! The quality of the sound and the length of the loops shouldn't be possible especially considering the quality of the character models .
Please react to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 OST 🙏🙏🙏 (weight of life, Moebius theme).
this game is legendary, from when I was little I played PS Nintendo, I really liked it, wow it makes me miss the old days.. great sir.
Depending on your aptitude of gaming, I'd recommend starting with Hallow Knight over Journey, seems like it'd be less of a learning curve :)
I'd like to request that you take a look at the OST for the original Rise of the Triad (the reboot under the same name has a bunch of remixed tracks that are also great, but I still prefer the originals). It's possibly one of the best soundtracks to use the standard general midi soundfont, and the more high-energy tracks like "Suck This" or "Going Down the Fastway" use a very distinct style that I can only describe as Manic Orchestral Synthwave. Although my favorite out of all of them is the track "I Choose the Stairs".
It's pretty old and it's not a terribly popular game outside of the old-school FPS community, but I highly recommend you give it a listen. It's good shit.
I knew you were in Hawaii, by the strength of your 'howzit?' in the channel video lol. Did you know 'Waialua' means toilet water??
Nice channel... I recomender you a videogame music from Monkey island intro and monkey island scumm bar :)
Por cierto, suscrito a tu canal ;)
No Stickerbrush Symphony? oO
pls react to Gregory Semenov - Fly Theme-12
Have you not done stickerbush symphony. Thats like the big daddy of the ost. Forgive me if i looked over it
Yeah I had to stop watching before he ruins the song the soundtrack and any other nostalgic memories😂
David Wise made magic in Donkey Kong Country
have you uploaded you stickerbrush part to youtube?
Oh, God!
Shout, shout... Spot on!
Does anyone know if Geebz has listened to Chrono Trigger OST yet? If not that needs to be heard.
