The Monkey Island SCUMM Bar: Ding dong fan-music

Jan has composed an impressive eleven and a half minute long Pirates Of The Caribbean medley to "share with the community". Before you 56kers start despairing, though, it�s worth pointing out at this point that it�s all just one big MIDI, which in landlubber�s terms basically means that you�ll have it downloaded and blasting through your speakers in no time. Get it here.

I like this a lot.. but I hate midi so much :(

Someone do something!

Well, I can offer an MP3 of it too... but I thought MIDI would gain more interest in the first place...

MIDI makes it a lot faster to download but to fully apreciate it an MP3 would be nice. :) I dunno if we'll put up the MP3 as well, unless it's remixed enough. Otherwise someone could just download the songs off Kazzaa or something. Still, I love the MIDI and think it's top work! Keep 'em coming.

I could convert it to an MP3, but I don't have the ability (much less the bandwidth) to upload it. It'd just be the MIDI converted into MP3 format anyway...(iTunes has an MP3 converter that works fairly well)

Personally, I wouldn't have minded the long download for an MP3 with better quality than a MIDI. I think it's good, though, especially for a MIDI--you usually don't get ones of this quality.

Thanks for the offer, Tyraa. But I think I'll leave it in MIDI-format for now. I have contacts to a guy who could make an MP3 of it using GigaStudio (the synthesizer Clint Bajakian, Jeremy Soule and Hans Zimmer use), so that'll sound much better than anything you or I can do... maybe I'll let him convert the thing some later time, but it would be easier for you to get the real soundtrack from PotC... and it wouldn't be a waste of money at all. Go, get it for Christmas! It's still time!

Yeah, overall it's a fantastic soundtrack for a fantastic movie.

On an unrelated note, I had a weird dream inwhich I was sailing around the Caribbean and I stopped over at this island and was majorly overpriced for my supper. :(
