Music, music, music

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.

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

but they did a studio recording as well it seems.

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!

I still love this:

Really good instrumentation in the Special Edition, I agree, but you haven't really enjoyed it until you play the older releases.

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

This is probably my favourite cover of the Monkey Island theme.

A new Apple II proof-of-concept adaptation of SOMI has a kicking chiptune version of the opening..

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.)

Oh man I had to go waaay back into my YouTube liked videos list to find this one. Bonus points for the cosplay

Woah, I’ve seen that channel way before, never thought I’d see it here

This is fantastic! So many memories of my childhood. Curse might be my favorite of the series, the art and music is amazing.

It may not be LucasArts, but I enjoy these remixes.I wish TWAU had a proper HQ soundtrack released.

This is lovely. Great talent on display.

This acquaintance of mine made this metal take on the MI theme many years ago, it got pretty popular when Ronzo tweeted about it.

 

[Yffisch]

What a surprise to see my videos as an introduction to this thread. Thank you! ❤️

Ahoy there!! Long time visitor of the site, but first time user of the forums.

I would like to share some music covers that I did recently. As you can imagine from my profile's pic, it is from the great music of "Monkey Island 2".

I am happy to join you all fans and share some stuff. I'll be BACK!! 😀

 

 

 

 

[ThunderPeel2001]

They all work really well. Their simplicity seems to add something, rather that detract. Lovely!

[Monkey_wrench]

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!!

Beautiful work and thank you for sharing!
