Possibly my favorite video game soundtrack!
By and large, Banjo-Kazooie Nuts & Bolts was a fairly mediocre game, but one aspect of it was so good that it surpassed the original games in quality: the soundtrack. Largely composed by series veteran Grant Kirkhope, as well as a number of equally excellent contributions from Robin Beanland and Dave Clynick, this soundtrack offers a good number of fun orchestrated tracks that are great to listen to regardless of whether you've played the game or not.In terms of completeness, this soundtrack is quite good compared to many video game sountracks. The main themes and two challenge variants of each level are included.

Rareware's music was made for orchestra
Anyone who's played Rare's games knows they have some great composers, and thanks to technology, they're no longer restricted by whatever samples a games system can produce to emulate an orchestra.A lot of the soundtrack is written by Robin Beanland, who was involved with the original Donkey Kong Country and the Conker games, with contributions from the composer of the N64 Banjo games, Grant Kirkhope. There's plenty of references to the older games in the soundtrack too--just wait for them to pop up in the middle of a track.My only regret is the music that's missing, like the newly orchestrated version of "Mumbo's Mountain" or some of the cutscenes. It does include the level intros by David Clynick, though, which parody popular '70s/'80s TV shows (and in some cases are more enjoyable than the originals!).Despite the omissions, it's a worthwhile buy, and I'm glad to see effort like this being put towards a video game.
