guybrushthedwar Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 Where can I find titles for the musics I extracted from these games ? Is there any track list hidden in the ressources or do you know some web site where I can find such information? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalixam Posted July 28, 2002 Share Posted July 28, 2002 There are no official titles for the music tracks. Web sites and fans just give them appropiate titles, like "LeChuck's Theme" or "Lucre Island map". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabb Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 There is an official CMI soundtrack, isn't there? (Not Sure) If so, won't that have a tracklist on the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swordmaster Posted July 31, 2002 Share Posted July 31, 2002 No, there isn't an official CMI soundtrack. There was a petition for one, but never an album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â IMO, the Monkey Island soundtrack is far superior to the Grim soundtrack, even though Grim does tell a better story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gexx Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I like them both. But I guess some people don't like the style of GF soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manny_c444 Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 Monkey Island just has cliched carribean music. Â GF has style and originality. It is the only game soundtrack worth buying in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptdc Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I haven't played GF so I can't comment on it's soundtrack. But the soundtrack for CMI is one of it's redeeming features. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remi Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 I quite like the Grim soundtrack, but it mostly consists of standard jazz. Nothing original in other words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueZTone Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 i really like the GF soundtrack too, hmm one song tho, it shouldve been longer, it starts off really nice. It's called err Sailing Away i think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted August 1, 2002 Share Posted August 1, 2002 No way, the best track in Grim Fandango was the LSA theme. Ok, they are both fantastic, but so different. I love the music from CMI, themes like the Rollercoaster of Death, the Goodsoup Hotel, The deep stringy version of LeChuck, Danjer Cove... not all reggae, though there is a lot. Reggae is cool though, so we don't mind. However, a lot of the music, especially in CMI, is much more orchestral. If you want Reggae, play MI2. A friend of mine compared the style of the Rollercoaster of Death to that of Danny Elfman (a movie composer, also did the Simpsons theme I think) and I see his point. The music does a great job of being in the background the whole time (literally) and yet still never getting on your nerves. I mean, that happened a lot in other games - ever played X-Wing collectors CD-ROM? Yikes. Good sound effects, but the music during the up-to-15 minute training sessions was awfully annoying. In CMI it is very fitting, and works very very well. Grim Fandango also achieves this, with some fantastic themes that convey the haunting fact that everyone is dead, with the trendy 1920's/1930's film noir style swing. It's clever, the scenery is used to highlight it as well. I mean, the Calavera Cafe. Glottis is playing a really cool Piano solo which doesn't really fit the scene - on paper, that is. Instead, because of the Moroccan style interiors, and Manny's white coat, the theme of Casablanca and all the other great movies of that era comes across and the music starts to fit so naturally into the scene.
