deim0s clocks in a Christmas ReMix with this charming ambient DKC ReMix of the Ice Cave BGM. Harp, bells, very slow-attack vocal pads with the right amount of reverb, great strings, piano, what sound like waterphone samples to me, and an arrangement that flows nicely. The intro actually reminds me of the intro to Orbital's 'Halcyon and on and on' track that I love. Definitely more of a soundtracky feel to this piece, as sound quality is superb and over several iterations the same melody is modified / played with different combinations. The type of mix that could have been turned into a killer techno track but is even better because it wasn't. Have an ambient Christmas? You betcha.

I love this mix because it doesn't scream "Christmas" at you--it's
much more subdued, atmospheric, and reminds me more of some
beautifully remote place where you can see the stars.

Transitions were very awkward throughout, and the flow kept
breaking, but the sounds used are pretty nice. The piano sounds
good, and the pads add a nice atmosphere, even if they are a bit
loud in the mix.
A good feeling mix that is crippled by those transitions. It's like
7 different 30-second-long mixes, and it should be just one. I
can't get into this one, sorry.

... Wow. That's all I can say. This mix gives a completely
different feel to the way you would look at ice caves, and that's
usually a good feeling. Throughout the first half of this mix, it's
almost an aw-inspiring mood that naturally flows through you, and
jumps to a melody that gives an ice perspective to the whole thing.
The later half feels like a collaction floating phrases that "does"
feel like christmas only in space, which I like. Kudos on a piece
that soothes the mind and gives a warm winter feeling, deim0s... I
really hope you make more.
Final Grade: 9.5 out of 10

Bells and piano? I LOVE bells and piano! :D
A beautiful and calm feel, I just wish the little bell solo was
longer, but I got the piano and strings too, so I shouldn´t
complain after all. But demi0s really succeded in giving the right
place of the mix, an ice cavern with icicles hanging down from the
ceiling, walls covered with a thin layer of ice and the floor
filled with powder snow.
But I didn´t get that christmas feeling this song was based on,
personally, I don´t celebrate christmas, I´m one of Jehovah´s
witnesses, so luckily it´s not a big deal for me.
Great work demi0s!

Listening to this song is like breathing a fresh breath of icy
winter air, and then going inside for the night to a warm fire and
a cup of hot cocoa. I had to drive to school in the early, dark
hours quite a bit this winter, and listening to "Christmas Cave" on
the way made me feel better about it. This is good work: good
instrumentation, arrangement, etc. But it's also just really nice.

Yes, peaceful is the word. Every time I listen to this tune I can
just se the blue shiny background of those cool icy stages of
donkey kong.(Like the hardest stages of the game :x because it
takes a while to get to candy kong and save)Back to the music, its
nice and smooth and I like how it slows down after a while :wink: .

I like the ambiant feel of this mix. For some reason it reminds me
of looking out my window and watching it snow outside.

Nice Work! Good Christmas Cave remix

so peacefull, i love this.. beautiful!
- jamie on June 16, 2003
Well, this is slow enough for my liking. Even though... it seems a
little too simple in some aspects. It would have been nicer had it
been longer. Still a good listen though! Lots of piano, chimes, and
what sounds like a xylophone type instrument. It would also remind
one of wind whistling through chimes on a cool day.

You know when you listen to a song for the first time, and you get
goosebumps from listening to it? This is one of those songs. This
is one of OCR's must-listen-to tracks. I love the ambient feel and
the peacefulness of the tune.
- Murmeli Walan on April 5, 2003
wooo i love this remix. but im a sucker for ambient stuff ;)
anyway, you should reallllly reallllllly check this out if you
havent, has a nice peaceful feeling to it.
- SsaiskK on July 25, 2002
very nice & smooth mix here....makes it really feel like
christmas time. I can envision the cave in this game, and remember
how icy and blue it is in there...a real winter enviroment. So, I
think this mix is a great setting for the level. Very well done! :)
- skawttieboy on June 26, 2002
I really liked the game dongkey kong country. I really enjoyed the
second one too. Basically I played the game because I really
enjoyed the music. For some dumb sappy reason I think videogames
really had a lot to do with my creativity and have inspired a lot
of my ideas that I come up with today. So I think it was really
cool that someone did a remix of that. I just thought I'd like to
share (nobody cares crabb_nebula, god, just get offline) sorry,
well thanks anyway (god hates you)[b]
