Crazy to think how for The Secret of Monkey Island they could only get a small handful of tracks in the entire game, most of it playing silent, and then just ONE year later they manage THIS. Not just a giant soundtrack, but full of so many absolute classics, and exhaustively branched for dynamic scene transitions.
god damn, 7 year old me was mindblown! I remember spending first hour entering and exiting all locations in different parts of the music just to hear those transitions, wondering what space technology did they use to make it work. Now I know and it's even more mindblowing. They don't make them games like that anymore..
2:15...Who else dreamed of sitting exactly in that mood at the fire with Guybrush and those two other guys, having some rum and tell Guybrush he´s gonna be famous soon. :-)
if no voice overs well then it might be a Original floppy disk only if you are using ega version instead of updated rgb vga with talkie voiceovers from compact disc rom. or special limited definitive edition with DVD that has mp3 or flac files.
Thanks for the hard work. This is exactly how it sounded in my old PC when I was a kid. I don't want to miss this soundtrack in the future so I'm going to save it (you never know what can happen with copyrights) but I swear that I'm putting your nick because you really deserve it for the amount of time spent with this upload.
Thanks for this upload! The adlib music really sets MI2's dark, almost psychedelic atmosphere apart from MI1, where the music was much more sparingly used. I've always loved the game's artwork, too.
I absolutely love the 'am i really dead' rapp scallion part of the cemetary music. so haunting! I used to leave the game in the conversation with him so it would just loop over and over :)
Man, I used to play this game every year till about 10 years ago... haven't fully played it since. I was a huge LucasGames fan back in tha days. Thanks for taking tha time and work to nail out tha original sounds. Never had tha Midi versions until recently but these are hands down my favorite sounds. Being a hardcore gamer at 41 years old, LeChuck's Revenge is my Empire Strikes Back in games.
I'm 30 and I'm glad I had a brother your age, so he could make me play this kind of quality game when I was only 4-5 years old. That and all the other awesome stuff Sierra, LucasArts, Maxis and Blizzard produced at the time. It's because of that shit that I'm a composer now.
+Brian L Most of the other versions use a version that was sourced from someone who got the original MIDI data mastered from some high-level company...I get what they were trying to do, but it sounds nothing like it would have if you were to play it on original hardware. There's no clear cut "original" version of the game's soundtrack, but this is about as close as you can come seeing how the grand majority of people couldn't/weren't willing to afford more than a Sound Blaster or Adlib card.
+Mr. Eight-Three-One You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed it! :D Yeah, I was fed up by the fact that people didn't bother to post the full soundtrack of this game. Mine couldn't be considered full either since it misses some parts that are randomly generated (like the part of the game where Guybrush fights LeChuck in the tunnels at the end of the game) since those would be too difficult to record and would make the soundtrack double.
I love this soundtrack, in fact the adlib versions of most lucas arts games sound the best(at least to me) I actually got most of this soundtrack from another site vgm rips (actually from a youtube site that posted them there) It has the underground tunnels but you actually have a few things it missed. Largo the miser,You're too slow,and most importantly "Jumping over" which has that Indy theme parody which is the one I first noticed was absent from the other ost. Thanks so much for posting this, I couldn't have done it myself especially when there are sounds effects in the game(not many sfx though since its mostly music)
2:26:10 - OMG its the tune of when Guybrush went diving with Kates glassbottom boat tours to get the monkey figurehead from the wrecked ship. One of my favourite tunes of the entire series, i left this one looping a lot. Guybrush can hold his breath for longer than his stated 10 minutes :P
DUUUDEE!!!!! You are my savior!! I cannot believe that finally someone had the nerves and stamina to gather up all these fine tunes into a soundtrack like this one... I was about 6 years old when the game was released and since me and my cousin were not able to find a solution to the Largo voodoo doll assembly riddle for a couple of weeks (we were kids and not allowed to play all day long), we would spend HOURS walk around all the places in Woodtick and enjoy the magic of iMuses' 'tune-transition'....we tried to make transitions happen that were musically particularly interesting but never had the means to record any of that back in the day.. We were playing on a state-of-the-art 4-86 back in the day and had to make a hand-built copy of this old fashioned cardboard-copyright-thingy that was included in the box, because my aunt would take it away and lock it in coz she said we'd play too much... xD jeeez i am rambling xD Anyways, you are many people's HERO dude, done like a PRO!!
+Enno Brackebusch Yeah, I thought the same thing, was frustrated that there weren't any proper soundtrack rips/recordings of old LucasArts games. And thanks for the compliments :D I really recommend you to try the CM-32L version of the soundtrack too.
Listening through the soundtrack again after all these years (AdLib was my childhood experience of this game!), and it kind of blew my mind how Largo's Messy Room song was adapting the Largo theme over the Woodthick theme and creating a new melody alltogether. The melodies were so good, and together with the pixel graphics made the game so memorable. I just finished playing through Return To Monkey Island, and even though the graphic style is nice, the pixel style in Monkey Island 2 is much more atmospheric, and the music was in my opinion not comparable at all. No melodies that became memorable or stuck out. That's why i came back here to remember what was it that made Monkey Island 2 so memorable, and now i can see(hear) why.
Great job capturing all songs, sorting and uploading them to your website! I've always wanted to do it myself but I gave up many many years ago. This soundtrack really matches the music of the original game. Pretty thanks and well done!
+xarlibrau Thanks for the compliments! :D Yeah I was quite dissilusioned with the incomplete soundtracks posted around, so I thought of doing a proper job myself. You should really try the CM-32L version though, it sound SOOO much better than this one :D
Okay, I was reading around on your site and you mentioned that they eventually discontinued iMuse because few noticed it...that's actually not completely true. It was used in quite a few later titles (all the way through Escape From Monkey Island I believe, which was as late as 2000), but they just never did anything near as ambitious as they did with Monkey Island 2 since they put so much work into it yet so few noticed it (they had two people working FULL TIME on only the Woodtick transitions!). All the later games use more simplistic tricks, usually just fades or gradual instrumentation and not much else. They used it for a fair amount of time, they just didn't quite go as all-out with it as they did with this game. Kind of a shame, I think what they did with iMuse really is phenomenal in this game and shows just what you can do if you're dedicated with it, but it's also understandable as you probably wouldn't notice it unless you either are really focusing on it or you have prior knowledge on how the system works.
+Mr. Eight-Three-One Thanks for pointing this out, I probably remember the fact wrongly. Not sure if you noticed, but I appended your commentary to the main VengefulChip post on the site :)
Finally! The soundtrack as it sounds in-game! Thank you so much for uploading it. Though I really wish this included the Underground Tunnels theme, one of my favourite pieces of music in this series, so haunting and sad.
There are actually like 4 different tracks for this one, and the huge detail : they all follow the same pattern so sometimes they would randomly play like 2 or 3 at the same time and yours ears don't bleed... Detailed soundtrack at its best !
+SethBlizzard As I explained to +ShyGuyXXL, I couldn't record those parts since they are difficult to catch due to them being just random melodies played according to what happens on the screen. If I were to capture those as well it would've too me an additional of 2 months to finish this considering I would've had to do the same for the other ports of the game. Also the soundtrack would've doubled in lenght.
+Vincent Fillieule You should try out the CM-32L version, you'll be blown away by the extra depth of the realistic-sounding instruments of that sound module :D
+Mrster Hehe, you're welcome. It was quite a beast to tackle, took me 2 whole months to finish it, and all it's ports. From all of the ports, naturally, the CM-32L one sounds the best :D
+Mrster Yeah, well that would've made this soundtrack too long, and it would've took me one extra month to finish. At least I'm glad someone appreciates my efforts, unlike some people in this comments area...
+VengefulChip Yeah, when you listen to the one on the soundtrack you can tell that they've combined each segment of it into a longer one. It's quite a long track so I can imagine. If I ever get up to that point again and I have Audacity ready maybe... Hehe. Yeah goes to show you can't please everyone. I remember how I'd sometimes just spontaneously UA-cam search for the Adlib soundtrack in hopes of finding one, and after many years there it is.
ahhh this was my version of the music. Thanks for putting up all the different versions though, amazing to hear how different they are :) one of the best games ever made!!
This is awesome. Missing only Underground tunnels and "60c", the happy piece that plays when you finally take LeChuck's mask off. Regardless, thanks for this, great work. I often return here and chill.
Love this soundtrack, I used this one on my playthrough of the game. I think it's one of the best out there but Lucasarts always did good soundtracks back in the day
Maybe this is a dumb question, but how or where can I download this awesome version!? When I was a kid, I recorded this soundtrack onto a cassette and listened to it every night as I went to sleep. I want to do that again! Thank you for uploading this!!
This is so great! Like someone else said, the emulation on some of the other versions floating around just don't do the songs justice. Question: where did the "Unused" song come from? How did you find that?
Those were extras that I recorded with HooT. Those are supposedly unused songs from the game that were available in the game data. I wasn't the one who extracted the game data.
Oh wow, did you manage to rip this all somehow? Awesome! Now do it for Fate of Atlantis :-) UNK should be the waterfall theme, and 28 seems to be same as 54, I think.
+Laukku I don't plan to do any LucasArts games for a while now :P Actually I'm not sure if I'll be able to work on new stuff at all, since my current job gobbles up all my free time. But I sarted a Patreon campaign for that, hopefully I'll be able to raise enough founds to quit my job :P Also, you're wrong on both accounts with the incorrect tagging.
+VengefulChip Huh, seems you've changed the numbering in the description since my comment. I meant tracks starting at 1:36:50 and 2:58:29, they're the Dinky Island beach theme. And UNK definitely plays at the waterfall.
+Laukku I probably changed the description after you mentioned that. You were right about the Dinky Island theme playing two times in this soundtrack... so I probably removed that entry from the description with the intention to fix and re-upload the soundtrack, but I probably forgot about it. Sorry about that! As for the UNK track you say plays in the waterfall (I assume you mean on Phatt Island), I checked the game in that area (again, after I read your comment), but I don't think there was any music playing in the AdLib version, I remember all I could hear was the water flow. I can't check right now as I'm not on my home PC, but I will do so once I get the chance to do so.
How 'bout tha underrated iMuse system? Well ahead of it's time since most really didn't pay attention to tha change of mood when you entered or exited a room in tha game.
+ShyGuyXXL Unfortunately I won't be doing those, as that section of the game plays the music randomly which would mean the whole soundtrack would get a few hours or redundant music, and also it's quite difficult to catch all the songs (or should I say variations), AND do the same for all the ports/ supported sound modules of the game.
+VengefulChip Yeah but it's also missing some of the transitions and song endings that other soundtracks have. Like the little bit that plays when you break out of jail. Also some songs would flow into each other in the game which would sound really good. Like how the intro flows into the campfire music. But in this one there's a pause which kinda ruins the flow. :/
+ShyGuyXXL Those transitions are difficult to record for the same reason as the music in the tunnel at the end of the game: they happen randomly and they play random notes as well, depending on the position of the song that's currently playing, so these transitions would be difficult to be recorded, and sound right. And for the transitions between the intro songs, those had to be done that way to fit into my tagging/audio splitting "guidelines". You'll probably notice this on other game soundtracks which have weird intro transitions like most adventure games, or the full song doesn't get played when the game is running.
Crazy to think how for The Secret of Monkey Island they could only get a small handful of tracks in the entire game, most of it playing silent, and then just ONE year later they manage THIS. Not just a giant soundtrack, but full of so many absolute classics, and exhaustively branched for dynamic scene transitions.
three words: "iMUSE woodtick transitions"
And don't forget in the swamp adding instrument every step
god damn, 7 year old me was mindblown! I remember spending first hour entering and exiting all locations in different parts of the music just to hear those transitions, wondering what space technology did they use to make it work. Now I know and it's even more mindblowing. They don't make them games like that anymore..
Such a small thing adds so much to the game
Jakub Tuszyński or mix drinks with airpods in listening to Woodtick.
@@k4Z369 hahaha I think we all did that! This is the best interactive soundtrack ever.
2:15...Who else dreamed of sitting exactly in that mood at the fire with Guybrush and those two other guys, having some rum and tell Guybrush he´s gonna be famous soon. :-)
I need a longer version of that one
roasting marshmallows on the fire.. ops it was the eyepatch
Me! Someone please do a 30 minute version of this song looped 🙏
I really miss warm ADLIB sounds
legends are retold.
not missed
Adlib isn’t warm though I would say it’s cold actually
This is how I heard it as a kid, and no voice overs!
Exactly this!
if no voice overs well then it might be a Original floppy disk only if you are using ega version instead of updated rgb vga with talkie voiceovers from compact disc rom. or special limited definitive edition with DVD that has mp3 or flac files.
@@josephfrye7342 eh? Monkey island 2 never had voice overs before the special edition in like 2010..
The Nostalgia is extra painful with this one :(
That's the second best upload I've ever seen
Haha, good one :D
This is a hateful comment. I am reporting it to UA-cam.
... How is this hateful?
because it's *second* best?? :D :D :D
Exactly.
This is the first game I ever played on a PC and was amazed at how much better the sound and graphics were than the Amiga I'd replaced!
Thanks for the hard work. This is exactly how it sounded in my old PC when I was a kid. I don't want to miss this soundtrack in the future so I'm going to save it (you never know what can happen with copyrights) but I swear that I'm putting your nick because you really deserve it for the amount of time spent with this upload.
17:25. No idea why but this weird bit is one of my favorite parts and was happy to find it here in the OST; the remastered version didn’t include it.
Thanks for this upload! The adlib music really sets MI2's dark, almost psychedelic atmosphere apart from MI1, where the music was much more sparingly used. I've always loved the game's artwork, too.
You're very welcome! :D
I absolutely love the 'am i really dead' rapp scallion part of the cemetary music. so haunting! I used to leave the game in the conversation with him so it would just loop over and over :)
Back when games had substance. A good soundtrack combined with a great story were all we needed. No flashy graphics or special effects were needed.
same for me man, Am I Really Dead - @ this acid sound at the beginning ... and I hate the new version "special edition " sound I want this eheheheh

When playing the game, it's noteworthy how subtly and seamlessy the soundtrack change always when the following scenes kicks in.

smooth adlib. i always set my games to this on dosbox, can't listen to anything else!
I think it is missing some of the music from the tunnel at the end, when you are walking around, it has a lovely sort of circular melody....
One of the greatest of them all! I think Roland was possiblel with that game to.
THIS is the one.
Now I have to reactivate my very first PC (386SX25 with Sound Blaster Clone) and play Monkey Island 2 👌
What wouldn't I give to have the original score for this. I mean, I could make it but that would be full-time work for weeks. Urrrgh what do I dooo
I believe the "Unused" track at the end is actually from the waterfall area on Phatt Island
:))), Great Game ...
Hell yes! This is how the game really sounded. The other versions just sound terrible. Thanks for the upload!
MT-32 ftw.

Ha! Thanks. I am an idiot.
Happens to the best of us :)
Same here. And man I hated it when It reached the end of the tape and the cassette player would make all that noise and getting me awake again.
Any chance to get a new mirror of the FLAC files? I‘d love to download it but the link is not working anymore as mentioned in the comments already.

And WHERE is the Underground Tunnels theme? :O
I have found my people 😊❤
How did you go about recording these? Just stand around in game while the songs play?
Seems the link for the flac version nolonger works. Any way I can get an updated link?
How 'bout tha underrated iMuse system? Well ahead of it's time since most really didn't pay attention to tha change of mood when you entered or exited a room in tha game.
No underground tunnels (final lechuck dungeon)?

What about the music inside the underground tunnels at the end? You skipped from the beginning of that part right to beating LeChuck.
+ShyGuyXXL Unfortunately I won't be doing those, as that section of the game plays the music randomly which would mean the whole soundtrack would get a few hours or redundant music, and also it's quite difficult to catch all the songs (or should I say variations), AND do the same for all the ports/ supported sound modules of the game.
+VengefulChip That's too bad. I really love that music. :(
+ShyGuyXXL Well this soundtrack is still more complete than what's available out there.
+VengefulChip Yeah but it's also missing some of the transitions and song endings that other soundtracks have. Like the little bit that plays when you break out of jail. Also some songs would flow into each other in the game which would sound really good. Like how the intro flows into the campfire music. But in this one there's a pause which kinda ruins the flow. :/
+ShyGuyXXL Those transitions are difficult to record for the same reason as the music in the tunnel at the end of the game: they happen randomly and they play random notes as well, depending on the position of the song that's currently playing, so these transitions would be difficult to be recorded, and sound right.
And for the transitions between the intro songs, those had to be done that way to fit into my tagging/audio splitting "guidelines". You'll probably notice this on other game soundtracks which have weird intro transitions like most adventure games, or the full song doesn't get played when the game is running.

Stan's Theme please!
Please do Day of the Tentacle's soundtrack with Soundblaster/Adlib. Please reply to this comment if you do.
Would this be the iMuse version then?
Yes, I recorded all those songs from the original game, not the remaster.
VengefulChip duuude you're a golden God. I'm so happy this exists. What a great idea iMuse was, all of it really deserves preservation.
Why thank you! I tried my best :D
Oh, and don't forget to try out the CM-32L version too!
It sounds as though it were a Sega Genesis game
