Bennyboy 24 Posted September 8 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake 39 Posted September 9 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.

Oliver87 1 Posted September 9 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake 39 Posted September 10 Really good instrumentation in the Special Edition, I agree, but you haven't really enjoyed it until you play the older releases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake 39 Posted September 10 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OzzieMonkey 11 Posted September 10 This is probably my favourite cover of the Monkey Island theme. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 29 Posted Saturday at 01:58 AM A new Apple II proof-of-concept adaptation of SOMI has a kicking chiptune version of the opening.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 29 Posted Saturday at 02:08 AM (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.)
