Benny Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 We've come a long way from listening to midi files by Highland Productions. We need a thread for sharing the excellent music covers on Youtube. This guy has done several Monkey Island covers, I particularly like his Barbery Coast and Jojo covers but they are all good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 Here’s a cover of The Office from Sam & Max Season One/Save The World: I always enjoy the Neskimos cover of Phatt Island the live one has a drunk guy who is mad they skipped to monkey island 2 https://m.soundcloud.com/neskimos/monkey-island-2-phatt-island-1 but they did a studio recording as well it seems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver87 Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I joined this forum mainly because I've been on a massive nostalgia kick lately, which is manifesting mainly in me playing Monkey Island and listening to the scores! The first guy you posted was a brilliant discovery, he captures a raw and authentic sound that makes me so very happy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Really good instrumentation in the Special Edition, I agree, but you haven't really enjoyed it until you play the older releases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I'm also a big fan of Stan's theme. This is a rare arrangement found on the PS2 copy of Escape From Monkey Island. Ultimately they must have gone a different direction This guy must have learned it from the PC speaker version. Amazingly Resident Evil VII used the Stan theme for one of their central pieces of music And you know, I always love world of fish, a true classic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzieMonkey Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 This is probably my favourite cover of the Monkey Island theme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 A new Apple II proof-of-concept adaptation of SOMI has a kicking chiptune version of the opening.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) And while we're at it, here's probably my all time favourite LucasArts track (outside of the Monkey Island theme itself I guess). It's actually rare because it's the Amiga version... and it's programmed to change every time LeChuck catches you. But the first section, before the instruments start to warp (ie. before LeChuck comes in), is the bit I love. I wish it went on for longer. It's so weird and haunting, and perfect for what's going on in the game... (HOPEFULLY THE VIDEO WILL JUMP TO THE RIGHT SECTION -- Should be Under Dinky Island in the tunnels.)

Tall Guy Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Oh man I had to go waaay back into my YouTube liked videos list to find this one. Bonus points for the cosplay "Ahhh my violin... I like to keep it where my heart used to be." Edited September 25, 2020 by Tall Guy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saribranch Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) This is fantastic! So many memories of my childhood.

Rum Rogers Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 This acquaintance of mine made this metal take on the MI theme many years ago, it got pretty popular when Ronzo tweeted about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to join you all fans and share some stuff. I'll be BACK!! 😀 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPeel2001 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 They all work really well. Their simplicity seems to add something, rather that detract. Lovely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey_wrench Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hello. I made another piano cover from one of the most known and beautiful melodies in "Monkey Island 2", the Wally's theme. It is based on the arrangement for the AdLib sound card. Enjoy!! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
