Michael Land et alii: The Secret of Monkey Island (19th anniversary edition soundtrack)

The Secret of Monkey Island
music by Michael Land and others*

40 minutes of pure nostalgia! Being unsatisfied with the audio quality and sequencing of existing releases, I took the enhanced CD version of the game and tried to make a listenable experience out of it. I also added the PC speaker version of the main titles to the album. The track list (below) and its song titles are different to other releases but I included alternative names of the pieces in the liner notes/comments of the FLAC files (and as tooltips on this page) to keep the confusion low. This “19th Anniversary Edition” tries to serve the audiophile as well as the completist.
