"Ice Cave Chant" from Donkey Kong Country on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1994)
Composer: Eveline Fischer
Label: Nintendo of America
Developer: Rare
I find it interesting that the two songs that we have now posted from Donkey Kong Country on MIDI Week Singles, that they both have been composed by Eveline Fischer. I chose "interesting" since I feel it is David Wise (who composed the music to Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Donky Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, Diddy Kong Racing and practically every reitteration of the Donkey Kong franchise developed by Rare), but it is Ms. Fischer who we have featured now three time, with the first being "Simian Segue" and the second with "Base" from Ken Griffy Jr.'s Winning Run.
I chose this song mainly because of the 12 inches of snow outside here in the Land of Doors city in the Pacific Northwest. It was briefly a toss up between this and "Northern Hemispheres," but since "Ice Cave Chant" is a bit more melodic, both Conklederp and I thought that this would work better as a stand alone track. What I like about this track, is that it is fairly cheerful in tone for how deadly the the one stage this beautiful track was used (Slipslide Ride) and it is a little sad that this song was not used beyond this single stage, but that is why you can replay stages to your hearts content in this game. OR, you can just visit this here article and replay the track all you want.
