Actually The entire DKC2 sooundtrack is stylistically similiar to Pink Floyds album A Momentary Lapse of Reason. You can't just say stuff like that and expect everyone to say "Ah, interesting!" Because... without some kind of evidence or argument to back you up, that particular piece of information sounds like the ramblings of a madman  No offense intended! But please back that up with something... anything... |

The word "stylistically" means absolutely nothing out of context. And the comparison you are drawing between an English rock band's 13th album from 1987, and the soundtrack to a 1995 sequel to a videogame about monkeys... you couldn't be further from the term "context"...
Do some of the songs sound similar? Do they cover similar themes? DKC2 doesn't have a "rock" soundtrack, it has a very dance inspired soundtrack... especially the early/mid-90s club scene in the UK.
You need to expand on your comment... Because I am still baffled.

As a huge Pink Floyd fan, not a single song on "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" sounds a thing like David Wise's soundtrack. AMLOR focuses on guitar solos made to showcase David Gillmour's talents, whereas there aren't any in DKC2.
Still, interesting comparison

This is completely ridiculous! There are no similar progressions in either soundtracks that you are comparing; Donkey Kong Country 2 and Pink Floyd's album: A Momentary Lapse of Reason. The Swamp song is very similar to In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins, leave it at that. As far as I'm concerned with this argument, there is no momentum nor a a single lapse of reason (pun intended).

I love Penny Lane and always thought Muda sounded similar. It might be on purpose, The Beatles are big in Japan too. Enough to have a ton of references at least.

It's funny that you mention that they are bigger than Jesus because the southern part of the United States starting burning as much Beatles merchandise as they could get because of joke that they were bigger than Jesus. What stupid people. Why are they stupid? For burning Beatles merchandise (especially over religion. And that the southerners supported the Beatles by buying their stuff to set fire. |
