I had no idea. If any mod wants to change the title to add David Wise, that would be welcome.
I really love David Wise. Thanks for sharing them OP, I haven't had the chance to play the game yet.
They have all the tracks uploaded on Bandcamp with credits for each, if you're curious about who composed what.
You are so good! I was going to edit my post to include the Bandcamp link, but here you are with it! :)

I'm playing right now and this track has stood out the most to me so far from what I've played.
Was shocked to see it wasn't David Wise when I looked it up afterward. Great stuff.
Kirkhope is always in godly mode. But I guess the only tracks from him are the ones in the overworld map. And those are excellent.
I see very fitting that the Banjo spiritual sequel had most tracks from Kirkhope ...
And the DKC spiritual sequel has most tracks from David Wise.
Both of them are my favorite composers of all time. Tropical Freeze 's soundtrack is even better though. Wise was in beast mode there.

I got Impossible Lair for Christmas and it's such an utter delight, not the least of which is one of the most joyous soundtracks in years. Well done the whoever was involved in the composition.
I just started playing the game, and those two pieces of music also really stuck out to me hard.
Got some real strong Stewart Copeland (Spyro) vibes from the first one.

It was frustrating for a bit, but as I practiced it it ended up being the most fun and memorable level. There are a lot of fast sections of it that you can whip through when you know what you're doing. Though I wish the background netting climbing was faster and some of the rising platforms where you're just dodging stuff were too slow. A lot of the normal levels had annoying enemy or wall placements that slowed me down too much too. And what is up with some of the level's obsession with doors? Some of them just went into a single room with a single jump challenge and then back out. The opening door animation started to feel like it took forever over time.
SFX are atrocious on the other end... man, they need to get rid of whoever has put those annoying sounds when you collect crap. They were obnoxious in the first Yooka Laylee and it's the same here...
p.s. not the the art department is much better... you really see how everything sound and look really mediocre, other then David Wise.

There's something very wholesome about someone learning about David Wise for the first time in 2020. Dude's been it for decades.
Hopefully, they can afford a more robust sound library with the next game.
This game did sell, right?
I haven't had a problem with the sounds myself. The only thing that really gets to me is Yooka's weird pervert voice.
