Agreed. I couldn't find a single song that I didn't like!

OH MY.
This is SO good. The whole thing. Seriously.
You guys are all kinds of awesome, and I love you all for creating so much greatness. I'd name my favorites, but there are just too many of them :nicework: everything's good in there.
Amazing job everyone :D

No offense to the remixers and work put into these tracks, but the SNES remixes just didn't catch my ear as much...probably because they're mostly focused on the electronic genre which isn't my cup of tea. I'm sure that people will correct me on this when the tally up the numbers, but that's just how I see it right now upon my first casual browse through this colossal album.

It must have been a very casual look, every song sounded distinct in my opinion. In the first disc, I count 13 songs which are not electronic. The second disc is more electronic, but many of them contain elements of other genres as well.

I'm very flattered by the shout-out, and I'm quite pleased you enjoyed what I had to bring to the table. Thank you so much for your input. Please do enjoy the rest of the album! That goes for everyone here! ^.^

First off, congrats on getting this epic piece of work out the door. I intentionally shut myself of any spoilers or developments of the project to hype myself up. Admittedly, DKC3 is the soundtrack I least recognize and remember yet my favorite game in the series. It's quite ironic since it has the most tracks in the series counting both the GBA and SNES versions hand-in-hand. Don't ask me why. The only track I remember off the top of my head is the World Map one.

The GBA tracks, on the other hand, is where things have picked up. A lot of variety in genres here. One newcomer that I'd like to highlight is Peach. Both of your tracks are really mellow, catchy, high quality and unique. Really enjoyed listening to them. Short and sweet stuff.
That being said, my two absolute tracks are out of the GBA mixes. Sea Breeze Concerto by Monkey Kong and Mr. Wise is absolutely incredible! Beneath the Moonlight floored me with its length, atmosphere, vocals, guitars, and awesome composition. The best collab of the album in my opinion, no offense to "Spanish Jitters", which is the heavily promoted mega collab. Don't get me wrong, it's a good track but Beneath the Moonlight is just...poetic.

Discs 3 and 4 were fantastic. Listening to 1 now (I'm more familiar with the GBA soundtrack so I started with that). The Paper Chase is my favorite thus far, and I really love Corn-Fed Kong. And Funky's Joint is just hilarious.

i think someone said that the following was required:
too much dubstep imo

So this album is quite fantastic! Seems like the bar for albums keeps getting set higher in general these days.
First, some of my favorite tracks - my absolute favorite on the album is NOT the mega David Wise collab for Spanish Jitters, but Beneath the Moonlight. That track features some excellent songwriting that isn't matched elsewhere in the album. Chasing Waterfalls is also similarly beautiful for me - I could keep these two songs looped all day and be happy.
I am entertained by many of the other songs, which are solid all around. Heart of the Cave is probably my favorite of Rozovian's work I've heard so far. Corn-fed Kong is a solid relaxing listen. All Mixxed Up is a sweet zyko piece, Tangerine Fever is also similarly solid stuff, and Diggi Dis continues to put out great stuff as usual. HoboKa & Flexstyle have a surprisingly solid collab with Can't Boss Us Around (Robot Anarchists from Hell Mix) that I personally am attached to due to its similarity to the Research Lab music from Time Lord (which was also composed by David Wise amusingly enough). 'Til We Meet Again is a nice change of pace, and The Mighty Junglol amuses with the name but providing a solid romp.
I can't really continue going down the list of the tracks...the album is just too solid all around! I enjoyed every minute of it, and I'm sure anyone who isn't closed minded should love it too!

Finally. The wait was too long, hopefully it was worth it.. Good job gentlemen.

- Richard on December 4, 2012
It's everything that I'd hoped it would be. I've had it playing near-continuously since I downloaded it yesterday, and I think that I only occasionally skip a song here and there (don't worry, Brandon, it didn't end up being any of your songs).
By the way, Emu, nice song at the end!
Probably is my new favorite OCR album.

- orlouge82 on December 4, 2012
My favorite album thus far. Two thumbs up! Five stars!
I can't express how amazing it is to be listening to this incredible album. I've gotten through the first disc so far, and I'm loving every single song. Seriously, they are all stunning, a treat for my ears. DKC3 is one of my favorite video game soundtracks of all time, this album breathes new life into the soundtrack in a way I never thought possible.
Thank you so much Wes, Cody, Mike, and the other arrangers who made this album possible! Everyone did one hell of a job! You have my gratitude.
And finally, thank you OCR for providing everyone with great, free music for years!

I'll attempt this, is there a certain cut-off date for when you want the reviews?

- Cash and Change on December 4, 2012
Maverick Rising got 10 in its flood, counting the two tantalizers.
I'll try to post my album thoughts tonight - I had been one of the evaluators, so I've listened to the album quite a lot beforehand.

Nope. Voices of the Lifestream got 12 singles on day 1.
