Christopher Braymen created this rich oriental soundtrack for the second Quest for Glory-game. It sounds both mysterious, adventurous and fun at the same time. Some tracks are rearrangements from Mark Seiberts earlier melodies from the first installment. What also stood out for me is the atmospheric soundscape it can create, like in the tracks "Shapeir Tunnels" or "Inside the Forbidden City."

The score was originally composed for the Roland MT-32 sound-module, so you can consider this version 'the way it was meant to sound' although it's still emulated on the Munt-software. After years of development, even the hardcore-listeners don't always hear the difference compared to the real hardware. Enjoy!

TECHNICAL NOTES

- I used emulation-software called 'Munt' (v.2.7.0) for emulating the MT-32.
- All tracks are recorded 'ingame' using Dosbox-X 2024.07.01
