Default OCR00799 - Monkey Island 2 'Monkey Brain Soup for the Soul'

Secret of Monkey Island 2 'Monkey Brain Soup for the Soul'

This is excellent. I've always liked Monkey Island music, and this captures the essence of the game perfectly. It's barely over the 6 meg limit, but the judges agreed that it was excusable for a remix this good (so I don't want to hear "OMG IT"S A SUBMISSION VIOLATION!!!!11", kay?)

Download if you have any respect for music, monkeys, or both!

This one is simply excellent. Trapezoid shows off a ton of remixing skills here in an extremely entertaining and well-done medley. Sadly, the only Monkey Island I've played is the first one, so I can't really appreciate it to the extent I'm sure huge fans of this one will.

But it's awesome anyway, so it doesn't matter!

EDIT: I've been listening to it a lot more now, and I'm liking it more and more each time. The first section with the jazzy piano alone is a reason to download this one!

EDIT2: Did I mention that I like this one? This is seriously my favorite remix in the last two months, maybe half year.

I fucking love this!

Yes. I'm so emphatic I had to curse.

I've been waiting forever for a Monkey Island 2 remix. It's just solid all around. It more than overcomes my general dislike of medleys with it's totally sweet craziness. w3rd to your three-headed monkey.

Very cool. Monkey Island 2 was great, and this mix captures the feel of it pretty well. All the styles are cool, and I find that this medley works well, as opposed to most which don't. Definitely a keeper.

One thing, this game wasn't really called Secret of Monkey Island 2... I think the "Secret of" wasn't in there, cause it was exclusive to part 1.

Yup, this is cool. Monkey Island 2 is my favourite game of all time (that's right. As in "THE GREATEST GAME EVAH!"). I heard this remix a long time ago on a MI fansite. So this is nothing new to me. But I still dig it.
I have been thinking a lot of making a MI2 medley myself, but I don't think I've got the skillz (yet).
I would choose to work with some other themes. MI2 is just full of GREAT music... the entire game is just.... ahh GREAT. So's this remix.
And Ryan (who made another cool MI remix) is right. The correct title for the game is "Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge".

A fantastic remix of LeChuck's Revenge's soundtrack. It gave me good flashbacks to way back when when I played it. Great job. My particular favorite part is the Stan's theme, it seemed like you caught the whole cheezy salesman theme to it.

I think orky said it best when he said it captured the essence of the game most perfectly, the only change or rather, subsitution I would make is replacing the word essence with the word spirit. The sounds used are just, addictive. My favorite part is probably between 2:53 and 3:49...The synth organ is great....


MORE!

I agree. That's the coolest part. It's the theme played when Guybrush dives down to the sunken ship "Mad Monkey".
Like I said, I would have wanted some other themes to be covered. There is so much to take from. IMO, this remix doesn't capture all of MI2's atmosphere. Just the goofy part.

There's too much to review in this song, it's just fantastic the amount of work packed into it. I love the intro. I really appreciate the amount of music in this song. I've been getting frustrated with short remixes.

This is one of my favorites in a long time. looping it in winamp long enough to annoy my roommates :)
