It’s a lot of work, I know. 😅 but I couldn’t help it and wanted to get it done. Depends on what quality your file was. But in the end I guess I’m not that much an audiophile to notice the difference (for better or worse 🙈). EDIT: Btw. if anyone’s interested, I can upload my arrangements in wav too, of course.

Many hours later… I have finished my complete soundtrack for ReMI! For most of the pieces I worked the same way as before - only this time with the original files from the game. For the LeShip suite I used Jake's version, because it was already very good. The long suites are cut into single sub tracks, so you can jump between them. One after the other they should also be playable as a suite in a player without interruption/pause. For those who prefer to have the whole suite in one file, I've also put them in an extra files - as a "Suites" album. Strangely enough, I noticed a piece that I didn't find in the game. It is the 6th piece of the Monkey Island Suite (I called it "Unknown Area" for now). In the game I could only find 5 different pieces and not this onw... Maybe someone of you knows where it's from? Otherwise it could possibly be a cut version. If you like, you can download all the MP3s here (all in 320 kBit/s): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AE7dUTZGIyvSQ0fLFYmitdxBOKqQKhBd?usp=share_link Have fun!

I remember that in the audio commentary of the SE they said that Ron had the idea for the ending and then the rest, including the SW reference, came along. I always read it that that's how the brother thing came about.

Although there wasn’t that much to do on Monkey Island, I really loved the art, music and atmosphere! And it felt even more “different but in a way very much like home home” than Mêlèe to me. I know we are only talking about islands but my absolute favorite location was LeShip. 👌

Very cool interview from her once again! My thoughts: - The long visit from Stan is starting to have an impact on Ron's style to dress. - I like that Ron cleared up about the ending and the amusement park thing (even though I was pretty sure that's exactly what happened). - I like even better that Ron told a bit about how the beginning of ReMI came about. Since its release, I had always wondered if he had such a resolution in mind all along (the ending being subtly altered and re-enacted by child-Guybrush or other children) , since it was so important for him to start with it. I'm quite surprised that the resolution only came about in the process of ReMI and I think it's beautiful! It shows how open Ron is to "dead ends" and how optimistic he is that a good resolution will eventually come (good lesson for me). AND it shows that the two of them are just very good storytellers. - What I like best is how Ron (once again) raves about his team and especially about Dave. You can really tell that this game (and probably the others as well) is very much about teamwork for him. Till ReMI, I often had the impression that he was very stubborn with his ideas and their execution. But that doesn't seem to be the case at all. - The original original Monkey Island (realization of being in an amusement park and a showdown with the proprietor would have been veeeery different - and interesting! But I'm glad they went with another direction.

One thing that I really liked (and didn't expect), was the whole atmosphere on Monkey Island. While the island had something very mysterious and almost dangerous mood in MI1, in ReMI it seems incredibly relaxing and akso melancholic (especially because of the great music). That way it felt much less like a “rehash” than Mêlée.

I also really liked the Herman Toothrot theme. That also felt very EMIy to me.

I had the exact problem. 😅 I was trying to use the scorched Alaska again and again with the cannon till ill looked it up in the hint book.

“Baguette McKracken” In an alternative universe that would totally be a thing! 🤓

Thanks! Your suite sounds good! Well done! 😊 Unfortunately I don’t have that much time this week or I’d look into it more. But does it make sense in general to split the work for a “complete” soundtrack with suites?

It's interesting how Ron Gilbert's Monkey Island games always start extremely simple and clear in terms of plot (MI1: Guybrush wants to become a pirate, MI2: Guybrush wants to find the treasure of Big Whoop, ReMI: Guybrush wants to find the secret of Monkey Island), while the plot of CMI, EMI and TMI always only develops at the beginning (Guybrush accidentally curses Elaine, Elaine is declared dead and has to run for governor again and Guybrush accidentally turns LeChuck back into a human and pollutes the caribbean with the Pox of LeChuck). Normally I‘d find the „Ron beginnings“ too simple/lazy, but somehow he always makes it work so it doesn’t seem that way. 🤔

This is great! Suites are definitely best for this soundtrack. I think I'd cut it in different track so I can skip to the several parts (and still be able to listen to the whole suite from beginning to end). Could you post the time stamps for each section?

I'm usually someone who uses a walkthrough pretty quickly when I get stuck. I also found Thimbleweed Park relatively difficult and often used the hint system. So I was very surprised (and pleased!) that with ReMI I always got further without major problems. Now and then I had to think for a moment, but then the solution came to me relatively quickly. I used the hint-book only three times and two times the solution was already clear to me, but I just hadn't executed it "correctl"y or had to leave the room once and enter it again (for the key in the chicken). Therefore, I can't say that I found the game particularly difficult. I found the puzzles always very logical and there were always enough clues to get to the solution. The difficulty level was perfect for me, especially since the scale of the game was still large enough for me.

Just discovered that when you ask Wally about the signs in Mêlée Town, he says that he designed them on Madison's behalf. This is another one of those nice details that brings the world to life, as you realize that the characters are also acting independently of you. This was done very well in MI1 and 2 too, especially on Mêlée Island (The store owner, Carla and Captain Smirk all know each other, everyone already has a rubber chicken from the Voodoo Lady etc.). EDIT: When you win the three contests, the queen's ice sculpture on Brrr Muda turns into one of Guybrush's (if you haven't melted it before by lighting the torch Next to it) and the pictures in the courtroom and the town hall are now pictures of him too. There are also one or two new dialogue lines when talking to the people there.

I've added a few cutscene pieces from Part II and III, that I had already recorded (all in the playlist). And here's also the Scurvy Island Suite, I was working on yesterday: I really like this one! It just puts you in a good mood!
