Old David Wise, or New David Wise?

David Wise is one of the best composers working the industry today - but which style of his music do you prefer?

His work on the SNES was moodier and more oppressive, while his newer stuff in Yooka-Laylee and DCK: Tropical Freeze is more upbeat.

for me, the new stuff just edges out the old.

My last visit here was 27.05.03 and this may have clouded my judgement.  

His new stuff is obviously good, but I have yet to hear any new track from him that tops Stickerbrush Symphony or most DKR tracks. For that reason I still prefer the old.

Definitely the old stuff. And that's ok. No one should expect (him) to be the hot new guy in town forever.

I have nostalgia for the old stuff, for sure. Hook DKR's soundtrack into my veins.
