This theme sounds like something from Chip and Dale NES.

This has to be my favorite track of the list. it's only looped twice, I believe, but the length of the track is so satisfyingly long, that I had to play it again to make sure. It doesn't really evoke the movie, but it still seems so fitting. Wise is a musical genius.

David Wise has quite a cool history behind him. About the icy cave or snow field part , I felt like those settings reminded me that Eveline Ficher kinda had a good way of composing icy music, especially in DKC1 where I noticed most of her conpositions she did were in snow stages.

Wow this really does tug the heart strings doesn't it? Absolutely wonderful.

Just thought this reminds me of the ending theme Wise did for Cobra Triangle. https://youtu.be/0CKd6Hxn-Bk?t=9m3s and I would have to recommend this ocremix remix! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf3gz1U9QBA

Honestly I'm getting a little bit of Global Gladiators, here. Some similar melody structures

In 1994, David Wise became a video game hero as a result of his soundtrack to Donkey Kong Country, but he’d actually been composing music for video games for nearly a decade. This episode looks at his NES work leading up to DKC and pointing out where and when his genius for mood-setting, ambiance-encompassing first blossomed. By virtue of showcasing the best of early David Wise, this episode features some of the best music composed for the NES.

David Wise Before Donkey Kong Country

Hi. This is a podcast about video game music, mostly (but not exclusively) from third- to fifth-generation consoles. Singing Mountain is hosted by Drew Mackie, who feels most at home in the music from 16-bit RPGs.
