Massive update of the downloadable archive (check the description and follow the first link to get absolutely complete soundtrack of the game)! Please download the archive again if you did it earlier than 03.03.2021. Here's list of main changes: 1. Names of main tracks are shorter and most of tracks are renamed. 2. Tracks (related to cutscene with tree) are moved to separate folder 'Time'. 3. Added tags and cover to main tracks. 4. Added many new tracks in 'Event'. Also certain tracks don't have excess sound effects now [Ex. 'Opening Exit', thanks to floating potion :)] 5. All tracks are recorded from scratch, so now their quality is slightly better. 6. Almost all main in-game tracks are extended [Ex. 'The Temple']. 7. Added a couple of new tracks from IR (Initial Release) version. At the end I can say the following. That wasn't easy to find, record and edit all this stuff. So I really did my best to give you the qualitative OST. I'm glad and shocked at the same time to have a literally exclusive content in internet, which I tried to find long time ago before 2017. I'm very happy that I gave you and myself the opportunity to enjoy the complete and masterpiece OST of such a great game of our childhood. So thank you all for views, likes and comments.)
Hi, sorry to write to you here but I had to tell you that the video of the ost of the forgotten sands on wii has been deleted. Is it possible that you put it back? If not, can you tell me where I can find these unrealesed soundtracks? The soundtracks of the original playlist of the game are too short, those of your video were very long and cool to listen to. Thanks to you!
@@mohamedf4114 I can't put it back, and i can't tell you, where you can find these soundtracks. I uploaded soundtacks of very first "Prince of Persia" games, because they're my favourites.)
@@daniilmirnow I'm sorry, I confused you with another channel. Your video is part of a playlist of prince of persia ost videos and it's another channel that put the forgotten sands on wii
From the bottom of my heart: thank you for uploding the soundtrack. I love PoP 2 music, it's just so mysterious, really feels like you're in a magical ancient Persia.
That's the result of proper care and research. A Persian friend of mine said she thought the Prince of Persia movie looked stupid, because the outfits they had were mixed with turkish and other middle-eastern stuff randomly, and not authentically Persian.
"One morning, as the Prince stands before the doors of the throne room, a coldness like a shadow passes over him. As he approaches the throne, he feels the eyes of the court upon him. The Princess and Sultan stare at him."
I needed this ost so bad. The mac port of this and the first game was how I became a gamer. And then the french platformer adventure masterpiece Flashback, mdk, wolfenstein 3d, doom, quake, marathon... ahhhh those were the days son.
@@PrimalShutter i remember that i got really scared of them when i was a kid. I just couldnt keep playing. Even more, how they screamed.. so terrifying for me haha
Daniil Mirnow I only noticed now that you put a link to download. Yours is the only OPL3 version of this soundtrack online, I'm sure of it. All download sites just have the crappy SNES version. Thank you for the files.
@@aniriraniheilang8961 it features many tales and folk legends which are originally Persian but the main frame story is Arabian set within the medieval Arabian empire during their golden age. with historical figures like the caliph Harun Al Rashid , his vizier Jafar, the poet Abu Nuwas etc. being common characters in many stories.
This reminds me of Abdelhalim Hafez Qariat al Finjan, somehow. But here, the music is not breathing, there's not to much silence and intersting rythmic nuances. But it's great they included microtonality at least, it's not always that Ionian b2,b6 mode...
How did you record the music tracks with sound blaster in dos? Do you have a music player for the PoP2 music? I would really like to know how you did this, I always wanted to have a full soundtrack of the game with SB and Roland MT for years! Also the palace roofs has 6 tracks in total, the first 4 has 2 that sound similar to eachother but have slight differences at the middle and the end of the track and the remaining 2 are not played (probably programming oversight similar to the flame sword music not playing in V 1.0, it is fixed that for the mac version)
It's simple. I used 'Ctrl + F6' to record sounds and 'Pause Break' to stop the game (but music don't stop). In this uncomplicated way I could record all music in format WAV. And then I edited recorded stuff in Audacity and translated files from WAV to MP3.
I read the manual, it says the music was composed by Jonelle Adkisson. www.oldgames.sk/en/game/prince-of-persia-2/download/2384/ Does anybody know how can I contact her?
Thanks for that important correction. I edited the description.) Well, if you try to search Jonelle Adkisson with google, you should find her facebook and twitter accounts.

@@daniilmirnow Thanks for your answer. TH-cam never notified me you wrote... Anyway, I would like to contact her, I want to get all the music sheet. Maybe, you know there is a Score or Songbook?
Can we get MP3 versions of these? Audacity won't let me convert the MIDI files to MP3s. This means nobody can actually play these downloads as is unless you use Quicktime, which _does_ let you play them. However, only Quicktime Pro lets you export files to other formats, I don't _want_ Quicktime Pro as it is a waste of money and I want to add the Prince of Persia 2 soundtrack to my itunes. EDIT: Just ignore the above: I'd opened a different folder of the soundtrack by accident.
Check the description for MP3 files of entire OST of the game. Or do you mean you want to get MP3 files with more high quality that sounds not like MIDI?
Daniil Mirnow The link in the description is for the MIDI files. EDIT: Sorry. My mistake: you're right. The file I opened with the MIDI's in it was actually an older one I downloaded a while ago but I didn't notice. Yes, these are MP3 ones. Sorry for the confusion.
In my opinion and as an arab, i think the composer of this game has made a big mistake in the name of the game, all this story and charecters and music are from ancient arab heritages not persia, it was better to name it prince of Arabia, the archeticure, the music, the story itself, and by the way the name :جعفر; Jaffar, is an arabian genuine name not persian and this story is well known in the arab heritage stories. I love this game so much the composer was really a genius but he made that mix up. And also for the people who dont know ..this story is part of علاء الدين والمصباح السحري, Aladdin and the magic lamp..which is an ancient Arabic story not persian..Persia has "1000 nights and nights..Princes Shahrazad.
I think you need to look it up my Arab friend. First of all this music is authentic Persian style, most of it is in the style of Iranian classical music (the sound and style is played in a way to mimic the sound of Santur (Iranian instrument) played in Persian scales/dastgahs, as for the architecture it is influenced by Mughal empire (which is Turkic, not Arab) but that Empire also influenced ancient Persia more than Arabia. Finally, the story is a generic damsel in distress and has little/nothing to do with Aladdin, not to mention Aladdin’s origin is quite questionable some claims he was from China or Bukhara/Uzbekistan (which again more close and related to Persia than Arabia) and finally, Arabian Nights/1001 Nights clearly have Persian roots/origins since the narrator of the stories is a Persian Princess. Oh yeah and Jaffar is an Arabic Muslim name used by Muslims all around the world (in fact it’s more common among Persians than it is among Arabs, (for religious reasons of course that I won’t get into)
@@blindfollower I feel like it does have a lot to do with alladin, it's the same exact story with pretty much the same names, just one doesn't have a genie
@@beak_essence- No it doesn’t. Unless you’re referring to Disney’s Aladdin (which came out after this game) I don’t see that this game shares any elements with the original Aladdin story, other than the setting of course.

this game was way ahead of its time and the best i have ever played ;(
Type of games that you played over & over again in the early 90's
Nostalgia hits hard...
The music from this game sounds far more authentically persian than the music of the entire Sands of Time series.
That's the result of proper care and research. A Persian friend of mine said she thought the Prince of Persia movie looked stupid, because the outfits they had were mixed with turkish and other middle-eastern stuff randomly, and not authentically Persian.
I didn't play the two thrones but I think Ubisoft stopped trying really trying in warrior within.
@@Domarius64 yeah man that movie is a disgrace. I had to leave the theater during half time.
I’m Persian and I 100% agree with this statement. The “ancient ruins” themes especially are super Persian
Brøderbund did it better than Ubisoft
Prince: "Princess, why do you look at me so strangely?"
Jaffar in disguise: How dare you speak to the princess! Guards, SEIZE HIM! SEIZE HIM!!!
@@yeremiapatuan4877 Princess: Don't hurt him! He's just a poor mad beggar.
dont let em get away
!
Don’t worry, my dear. He won’t get far.
The cave music always gives me chills when I am playing this game, it sounds so mysterious
It's very atmospheric. 👌
im now 29 years old and still comeback to this, it still has an impact on me
41 years old now... loved this game when I played it when I was 12. Amazing soundtrack. 19:36 - the temple is my favorite. So ominous and strange.
I searched this for the temple one only.
Thank you so much! I've been searching for PoP2 for very long time!
The cave music has stayed with me all these years later; and just like those levels it’s all so eerie and unsettling
The story about a prince who does love a princess..
Heartbreaking and desperate..but so ROMANTIC! 💑👍

"One morning, as the Prince stands before the doors of the throne room, a coldness like a shadow passes over him. As he approaches the throne, he feels the eyes of the court upon him. The Princess and Sultan stare at him."

@@RonsaRRR oh yeah those are masterpieces which came much later on. I was already 15 by then

I use this to play Prince 2 from Mac . Because on the emulation, the music is broken. I force the resolution to be at 640x480.
