Composed by Grant Kirkhope. Recreated by me. This is not part of a project to restore the entire DK64 soundtrack. This was made possible MIDI data ripped from the ROM and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up using digital versions of the original sound hardware that was used to compose the game, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience.

Composed by David Wise. Recreated by me, transcribing the song by ear and rebuilding the soundtrack from the ground up using the same patches that the game sources its sounds from, as well as recreations of the synth patches, applying some modern mixing techniques along the way to lift the veil of 16bit compression and create an updated listening experience. Special thanks to Miles dumperghost for new sample findings in this song. This restoration was created entirely while traveling in Copenhagen, and uploaded at the airport on the way out.
