Wasn't able to find an official source, unfortunately. The closest I could get was this out-of-stock Amazon CD listing. Sourcing Nintendo game soundtracks in general can be quite painful; I'm not sure if it's because of the Japanese game industry in general, or specifically the company. Regardless, it's hard to overstate the consistent quality of their games, and the impact they've had on the industry as a whole. I think this quote by the late Satoru Iwata sums up Nintendo's philosophy quite well:
>On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer. -GDC 2005 @ 1:18

Donkey Kong Country 2:
^^^*Edited ^^^a ^^^little ^^^for ^^^grammar
>Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest is an adventure platform video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). It was first released on 20 November 1995 in North America, 21 November 1995 in Japan and on 14 December 1995 in Europe. It is the second installment of the Donkey Kong Country series and serves as a direct sequel to Donkey Kong Country. It was also re-released for the Game Boy Advance in 2004. The game was made available for download on the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007, and for the Wii U's Virtual Console in 2015. It was followed by a sequel, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! in 1996.
>The story revolves around Diddy Kong and his girlfriend, Dixie Kong, who try to rescue Donkey Kong after he is abducted by King K. Rool. The game is set on "Crocodile Isle", in which there are eight worlds of varying environments, totalling to 52 levels. The game utilises the same Silicon Graphics technology from the original, which features the use of pre-rendered 3D imagery. Diddy's Kong Quest received critical acclaim, being widely regarded as one of the greatest 2D platformers ever made. Praise was directed at its graphics, gameplay, and soundtrack. It was the second best selling game of 1995 and the sixth best-selling game on the SNES.

>Diddy's Kong Quest's soundtrack was composed entirely by David Wise. In addition, the game's soundtrack was the focus of an OverClocked ReMix collaboration titled Serious Monkey Business. The final track, "Donkey Kong Rescued", was remixed by David Wise himself, featuring Grant Kirkhope on electric guitar and Robin Beanland on trumpet. Wise cited Koji Kondo's music for the Mario and Zelda games, Geoff and Tim Follin's music for Plok, and synthesizer-based film soundtracks released in the 1980s as influences in creating the music for the Donkey Kong Country series. As with its predecessor, the music was produced for the SNES's SPC700 chip for the game to sound similar to the Korg Wavestation synthesizer.

These remixes by Mesmonium and The Consouls are also worth listening to.
Submission Post: this is an excerpt from a great 3 CD box set released in the early 2000's.
I came across this playing in several different countries while backpacking through Western Europe in 2003. Many of the artists featured had a strong influence on the current state of EDM. I recommend the entire 3 CD set, this playlist is just a portion of it. It was all I was able to find on Spotify.
Here is a link to the full set on Amazon:

EDIT: Wrong Song! My bad! They all sound so similar in my head because I listen to the album continuously. Regardless, Past Lives is a wonderful track. :)

Great album for driving to. You can listen to the entirety of Atlas continously and you'd never know any time had passed at all. This short and sweet album is an emotional take on nostalgia. "I cannot come back to this neighbourhood, without feelin' my old age" (Past Lives)
