Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze comes out February 21
The reviewer of the new Donkey Kong game loved the soundtrack:
"It’s the best Donkey Kong Country has ever sounded.
Wise’s background tunes become increasingly rich and complex as you progress through the levels. One level has you quickly descending vines littered with bells. Each time you pass a bell, it rings, adding a new backing instrument to the background music. It’s not until you trigger every bell that the song fully reveals itself in all its glory.
Usually it’s a simpler progression, merely using the passing of a checkpoint or a tricky platforming segment to trigger a change in the music. As you get closer and closer to finishing the level, the music amps up the sense of urgency."
