ReMix:Donkey Kong "Duel of the Apes" 4:16

The melody in the first part sounds a LOT like the stage 1 music from Journey to Silius.
Maybe someone needs to do a mashup of those two.

When I started to listen to this song, I was like "Oh yeah, this is gonna kick my ass". And I was totally right. It's smooth, it's epic, it's BadAss. Haha What I liked about this mix is 1) the mean shraddage, 2) the choral vocals, and, of course, 3) the title - very smart. Perfect work, Jimmy!

Man Dingo, this is some good stuff.

You've turned this tune into one heck of an epic. This is the kind of song to play for the final of "Donkey Kong: The Movie". I just imagine Jumper Man making his way to save the princess with all of his strength as flaming barrels are coming his way. The chorus is great and love the reoccurring motif that brings a dark and ominous vibe to the whole thing. Simple into Star Wars, that's what this feels like.

Thanks for posting this one!

Great stuff! I especially liked the choral work in the last section, it was a nice touch. Thanks for this!

Oh, and Codamadius, I do believe the original Donkey Kong eventually became Cranky Kong, as the canon goes. I think.

True. About the track:

Ah yes, a track that has been in my playlist for quite some time (it helped that it was finished so soon). Since I wasn't familiar with the srouce, I never knew you used sveral sources with this, it really sounds like a whole. I love the inclusion of the choirs and bells, making everything a little darker and a lot more epic! Absolutely love the synth solo around the 3 minute mark! Great stuff

I love this so much. I have no negatives. I haven't even listened to the whole album yet and this sits up there with one of my favorites. Props.

Oh, and Codamadius, I do believe the original Donkey Kong eventually became Cranky Kong, as the canon goes. I think.

... Of all the illustrious badguys in videogame history, you put fricken' DONKEY KONG on the cover of the album? What madness, what insanity prompted you to -- *Listens to this particular track*

... Oh. That's why. Wow.

Haha, the intro made me think of Inspector Gadget too! This is one of my favorite tracks on the album. Great epic vibe to the track that really builds on itself as the song progresses. Nice work!

Just to clarify...it actually wasn't Donkey Kong himself that was Mario's nemesis, it was Donkey Kong's uncle wasn't it? Good work btw

That intro to the song made me think of Inspector Gadget, although I know that's not where that intro originates from. This is a nice chill bad guy tune where you're rocking and doing your own thing. The guitar adds a nice touch here - we don't get to see a whole lot of that from Jimmy. The song builds pretty nicely while still maintaining that chill pace. Solid work overall.

I immediately sat up in my chair when this started playing while I was listening to the album. When I looked at who the boss was, I was rather confused at first... until I remembered that Donkey Kong was originally Mario's nemesis. Oh, well. Guess Mario got tired of chasing after Pauline... Anyways! This track really rocks to the core, and the addition of the choir really helps with the menacing, foreboding feel. If this had played during the actual stages... well, that would have been pretty badass. Yay for more BGC!

DUN, DUN-DUN-DUN! God, I love that intro and it being used again at that great ending. Like a wave of nostalgia. If the goal was an epic battle, you sure as hell achieved that. Excellent guitar and drum work, and the symphonic choir really made this ReMix feel like a grand battle. I really don't think it's that short, being filled with so many goodies and being over four minutes long, but I will say that I wished the track 29 part was used a little more. Can't complain though, cause it was amazing. Incredible job, BGC.

I love this track so much. The bass is really driving, the arrangement is very tightly packed, and even the fake guitar sounds pretty good!

It definitely sounds like Jimmy had a specific vision for this track, as every element fits very well, and it definitely has the aforementioned swagger.

A++ will listen again (and again).

So happy to finally see a remix of this golden game! AND BY BGC! Great, rockin, headbangin, amazing interpretation of an f'ing awesome source.

oh, and thanks for dat synthgasm 8-O

Seeing a DK remix in BadAss was great. And BGC did an awesome job, from the very beginning with the little DK jingle to the ending with choirs/guitar/orchestra/phat beatz.

The choice of sources is cool. The sampling of guitar is amazingly good, I thought it was a real guitar first. Synth solos (and guitar solos) were pretty exciteing to listen to.

And like Rexy said: "Why is it too short?" I'll look forward more DK remixes, this game deserves it.
