On the off-chance that you haven't heard of David Wise, you've almost certainly heard his music.

As a third of Rare's trio of ground-breaking composers, he was responsible for the tunes behind Battletoads, Wizards & Warriors, the RC Pro-Am series and countless licensed titles for the NES and Game Boy - plus, of course, the ever-popular ear worms that form the Diddy Kong Racing soundtracks.
