Podcast Episode 8: Donkey Kong Country
Rare’s three original Donkey Kong Country games still stand as some of the SNES’ finest platforming titles – not to mention their revolutionary, pre-rendered 2d graphics and of course their soundtracks. In Episode 8 of the VGMO Podcast, speakers Markus and Simon discuss the technologically and stylistically innovative work that David Wise, Eveline Fischer and Robin Beanland’s scores did on the Donkey Kong Country SNES trilogy.
We’d also like to welcome our new podcast producer Simon Boucher to VGMO. Simon has been working on his own podcast, Remix ta Console, which covers video game arrangements and remixes. We’re very excited to have him on board!

About the Author
Emily McMillan A native and lifelong Texan, I currently work in software education while contributing news, reviews, and interviews to VGMO on the side. I love the feeling that comes with the discovery of a brand new soundtrack, and always look forward to the next rekindling of that excitement. Outside of VGMO, I enjoy playing piano, listening to classical music and film scores, and trying to go unnoticed in any stealth RPG I can find.
