So I'm reviving this project after like, 8 years. No big deal!
With music production, including the remasters I've done in the past, I've always been big on NOT forcing myself to do anything unless I feel adequately inspired or motivated. Basically, only doing it when I want, not because I feel I have to.
I happened to open up FL Studio the other day, opened up a MIDI, one thing led to another, and I found myself really enjoying the process of tweaking and tinkering to make it sound as good as I could. And here we are!
On this note, I do have to add some disclaimers here. Please don't have the expectation that I will finish this project; as a matter of fact I actually have NO INTENTION of truly finishing PMD2RMP the way I originally intended (which was to remaster every single song in the game). I'll be doing these on an "if-and-when-I-want-to" basis, and will be picking and choosing tracks to do, rather than going off the original track order I had.
I won't be taking requests...but I won't stop you from suggesting tracks to do :) Just as long as the expectation doesn't exist that I'll do it just because it was suggested.
Anyway.
Ahem...
It is my pleasure to *continue* the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2 Remastering Project, an undertaking of mine dedicated to bringing one of my all-time favorite video game soundtracks to a new life. It is my belief that this music--composed by Arata Iiyoshi, Hideki Sakamoto, Keisuke Ito, Ryoma Nakamura and Ken-ichi Saito--deserves to be listened to and enjoyed by more than just the people who play, or have played, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky. It is a truly beautiful and widely appreciated collection of music, however with a limited potential due to the confines by which it is bound: a Nintendo DS cartridge. My goal for this project is to bring each track in the game to life by means of remastering, and in some cases reorchestrating, to the best of my ability, while at the same time preserving the natural charm that lies within them.
I hope you enjoy my project! :)

The OGs are all crying that the project is back.
You know it! I'm not as much of an og as others, I've been listening since about 2016 tho. Just lurking, since I didn't make an account until about a year ago
True
FR
This was how I realized it was new thank you so much
YES I didn't even know it was new
Make sure to read the description on this one. Some context there. :)
Thanks for sticking with me.
Ofc! It's totally fine that you don't intend to finish it all, that's a tall order and it's a lot to expect of anyone. I'm just glad you're back to doing music!
Thanks to you for your remakes!
Don't rush, take your time and who knows, maybe you'll manage to finish the entire project in some years, we will wait...whenever you feel like! 😉
Glad to see this return in any capacity! I originally subscribed because of your PMD remixes back in the day, so hearing good ol' Temporal Tower again really brings back memories.
Insane! I used to listen to your playlists all the time
Did not expect new remakes to come out. This is great
I am so over the moon to see a new mystery dungeon remaster title from you! As most of your old ones, I will probly listen to this one over a 100 times. Really glad you are back with those tracks!
So you already did return! This is awesome!
Holy wow, was not expecting this. Glad you decided to pick this one back up and you found yourself enjoying it. It's a really good feeling when you kind of rediscover a passion that previously ended in burnout or some other way. As for the track, absolutely loved it.
One of these days I'm going to have to pick your brain on music production as I go through my own journey. Picked up ableton last year when I had a trial and unfortunately let it expire, but it's something I've been thinking about picking up again almost every day. We'll see how all that goes once I save up a bit to grab the software again
I'm down to talk music production anytime!
Oh MY GOD! It seemed unreal seeing this in my sub tab. I’m so happy to see you remastering again! Amazing work as usual!
Today I was listening to the OG temporal tower.
I searched for remixes updated within last year. Didn't find much.
Then I thought, "I remember this guy who was remastering all tracks in Mystery Dungeon. I should check him out and see if he has posted anything new"
See this uploaded only 2 days ago. I had high hopes this was going to sound good.
I know how difficult it is to remaster this one. IT SOUNDS GREAT. You have done an amazing job.
Very glad to see this, I think your PMD remasters are the absolute best on RUclips. Thank you for this video!
Could it be? A TGH remaster graces my feed once more?
Absolutely awesome to see you back and kicking with PMD music, I used to listen to these obsessively 💖
Great job with this one, a faithful and bouncy tribute to the original!
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE!!! Pure chills running down my spine re-living the memories of going up the Temporal Tower so many years ago. Thank you so much for reviving this project, it's like a piece of happier times in my life being revived for the purpose of celebrating it for what it was. I look forward to all of your other music you release in the future
It's genuinely insane to see something new out of this project after all these years. But I'm glad to see it! Sounds as clean as ever, you haven't lost a step.
We are so fucking back. As someone who listened to your remasters as they came out back in the day, you have no idea how happy it makes me to see this being uploaded.
I DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE STILL WORKING ON THESE
I was so sad that there wasnt a temporal tower to my temporal spire but now we have it!
Wow, this is unexpected. I remember subscribing to this channel over 10 years ago back when you were still TheGuitahHeroe. After you shifted towards speedrunning, I assumed you had moved on from this project. Really happy to see that you still remember it after all these years!
Great to see you're back on these! This project was how I found you in the first place, and I can't believe eight years have flown by just like that. Nice work!
This guy. This guy knows how to remaster
Finally ... the Temporal Tower remaster.
Man, I was in a creative block... Seeing you return to this project was one of the things I never knew I needed to keep submiting content to my channel, and what a way to return with this track!! This was one I was really waiting for!
Gotta start practicing!
So excited you’re back to PMD tracks!
YOOOOOOOOO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A TEMPORAL TOWER PMD2, IVE BEEN WISHING TOU DID ONE FOR FOREVER SWEAR TO GOD
Awesome to see this project return! Good luck with whatever pace you decide to go!
Just recently played through the game again and i must say the music in this game is absolutely overwhelming.
I always cry at the end of the game. :D It's just such an beautiful and dramatic story with your partner-pokemon. I love it.
you were my inspiration in making my own pmd2 restoration series, and are part of what got me into music production myself. Its hard to believe your bback after all these years, but Well, Welcome back!
more than a decade since times like these. the _second_ one. welcome back!
Ayo - this is a pleasant surprise! Glad to see you back doing PMD music!
im so glad to see u returning to this project after all those years, i only discovered your work in the past couple years but seeing the recent additions was an incredible surprise nonetheless!! and ohhh i love what youve done with this song.. the strings especially sound so gorgeous here, plus a few small parts i dont think ive even Noticed before, and it all adds so much - i didnt think temporal tower could sound even more beautiful.. already one of my favorite remasters of yours!! very excited to see what other songs ur planning :3
I always loved the way you make these tracks remastered while truly faithful to the original. It makes the pmd music style shine at its brightest 😊
omg what a thrill!! I always listen to your pmd soundtracks when I'm studying! thank you for everything!
Good to see you picked this one up! Even if you don't continue working on this project, that's okay! I think this was one of the few tunes I'm surprised you never got to several years ago, so it makes me happy you got to doing it!
This is so good man! So glad you're back with these!
Yes!!! I’m so glad you’re still working on this stuff. This is how i found you. I’m currently learning Ableton Live and i’m using Mt Steel from the GBA (trying to recreate it) as a way to learn production
I played these in the background all of time while writing. Pretty much my go-to when I needed some epic music that fit the mood of the scene. So glad to see the project's returned!
It's great to see that you've picked this up again! Remastering all of the music from PMD2 certainly is a big task, so no pressure from me to finish the whole thing either. I'm just happy to see the project continue.
I'm glad to see PMD remasters again. It's so nostalgic! 😍
I'm so happy you brought this back!! YOU ARE THE BOMB!
My favorite track of yours, remastered in 2024. Thanks so much!
Hard to believe it’s been 8 years! This sounds amazing and I can’t wait to see what’s next, but also mad respect for setting boundaries for yourself and doing what makes you happy.
Love this game, so glad to see you post for this project again.
an absolute banger to come back to the project with!!! love your remixes!!!
I said this on a video for the orginal version, but this gives me MAJOR Klonoa vibes. I can easily imagine this playing in a level of the main console games.
I keep coming back to this. It's so good!
I originally found you through these renditions so I'm just happy we are even given the opportunity to hear your work haha.
I'm so happy to see you making more remasters of one of the best osts made! It would be amazing to see the other version of this remastered as well (temporal spire)! Regardless this remaster goes insanely hard!
They did remaster Temporal Spire... back in 2015.

It's been long enough since I listened to this track that I've had the time to develop the ear for leitmotifs. I never noticed Dialga's Fight to the Finish hidden within this song :D
Omg yes!
No pressure! If you want to release a track then do so, we are happy about all of them!
YES! This is what I've been waiting for!!! Thank you!
So happy to see this project has been revived!
YOOOOO
I've loved listening to PMD2RMP on my own time for so long, great background while I'm working. Great work! Work on it as you see fit, enjoying the process is like the No.1 thing about self expression!
Thank you so much for this Project. I wish you the most fun!
Just to think when I was least expecting it, you upload another PMD2 remaster. I am absolutely FLOORED! This just made my week! Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
..I understand you don't take requests, and I don't blame you, etc etc, buuuuuut I meeeaannnn, if you did Mt. Bristle.. 👀
I can't wait to see what you make! It's always a blast listening and watching whatever you create!
Oh. My.
He returns.
What a good day this is :)
I loved your old works, so it’s cool to see you’re continuing again
Welcome back, your eminence!
This RM seems fuller; more lush and spacious. Well done; we eagerly await future installments.
yo holy shit i’m so happy this came back
Dude I am so fucking happy this project is resuming oh my GOD
Memories Returned please I will cry if so
the king returns
HOLY SHIT NO WAYYY
AFTER ALL THIS TIME
Big fan of this, wow! Have you ever considered making any work for the romhack jams? We have one starting up soonish. I know you say no requests but this is more along the lines of a "Hey, welcome back to the scene!" I wasn't active at all with this 8 years ago but hearing your remasters are part of what led me to making some of my own PMD soundfont originals!
Super surprised to hear these again after so long. I hope you're still enjoying yourself after all this time!
omgggg AWESOME!!!! Finally the missing one in the Temporal Trio
GOD RETURNS
LET'S GOOOO
Is it my birthday already? Thanks for this tgh :)!
THE MAD LAD ACTUALLY DID IT
(Sees notification)
"Huh?!"
(Reads description)
(Nods in agreement)
WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE BACK!?!?!? THANK YOU SM GRAAAAGHHHH
It's beautiful..
WE'RE SO BACK
WE ARE SO BACK
We're so Back
Holy hell...
this is amazing... every year i hope for a PMD EoS DX

Yo, 3 weeks ago what??? Fucking sick
oh my god
holy fuck YES
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO-
NO WAY
Do you have the uncompressed files stored in a chest somewhere, under lock and key?
These newers ones, yes I do. Older ones (uploaded before this one) unfortunately have been lost to time.
@@TGH You could put the project files (just MIDI with instructions) in a folder, and it would be like 5mb or less. Then just re-render them as many times as you want.
@@NotOrdinaryInGames It's not as simple as that, lol
They'd also need the sounds/soundfonts used, plugins and effects used, not to mention the DAW itself. All of which take up way more space than a WAV file of the track.
Asking honestly, what exactly would this accomplish?
What you're asking for is project files, not uncompressed audio files
@@TGH Well, I cannot ask for what does not exist. But I can tell you to save the samples and project files in the future. So the loss of FLACs and WAVs will stop being a problem.
Do me a favor and please reassemble the playlist. I would appreciate it!
Done
@@TGHthank you for your service 🫡
I found this vid from Shayy
I can not express how much joy your PMDRMP proyect brought to my life. These games occuppy a very special place in my heart. Seen that someone has taken the time and effort to employ his own time into creating this proyect makes me really happy. I really appreciate the work you have put in this. I have been listening non-stop the songs of your remastering project for years. Cheers from Spain! 🇪🇸
gosh has it really been 8 years? i remember being so excited to see your new remasters back then, seeing this upload really brings me back haha.
your pmd remixes and remasters always been a huge inspiration for me to the point i got into pmd music projects myself. thank you so much for all of it, i hope returning to this brings you as much joy as it does to all of us 💙
Clicked on it as soon as I saw the notification, glad to see you doing PMD remasters again! ❤
And when the world needed him most, HE RETURNED!!
Thank you so much TGH! I've been waiting for this for so long! We all have!
Gah, I'm so happy idk what to even write!! 😁
Edit: yes I am going to keep coming back to this song, cause it makes a hella epic weightlifting motivation!
i can't believe you came back ... i remember thinking about this project throughout the years and revisiting time after time because honestly even after all this time these remasters were always my favorite. the fact you returned with temporal tower? just feels so good
beautiful remaster, thank you so much and i'm glad to see you're still in the music realm
Wasn't expecting to see this today but I'm so excited to listen to it. These remastering projects of yours have been a big inspiration to me :>
Man I love this theme so much
Temporal Tower. My favorite track from the game, probably from all Pokemon-related media period, probably tied with the Lake Trio theme from DPP. Hearing this as a child geuninely brought tears to my eyes.
When I found your project and saw that Temporal Tower wasn't among the listed tracks, I was a little sad, because, again, I love this track to bits. To this day, I haven't found one remix of it that truly manages to outdo the original, even though some end up just as awesome, in their own respective way. And I was curious to see, how you'd do it. And when it seemed like the project was discontinued, I got even sadder, because I thought that that meant, I'd never be able to listen to your version of the single greatest piece of music, my DS had the joy of pumping out of it's speakers.
And then, today, I looked up your channel again, because I wanted to listen to Team Charm's theme and your version of Amp Plains (which I do when I'm trying to do paperwork, because it really gets me pumped to do even the most lame task ever). I saw this. And the time gears in my heart suddenly went into overdrive.
Then I clicked on it, listened... and said time gears completely overclocked my heart's spacial stability. You managed to even out the slight harmony spike, the original had at 0:26 to near perfection... and the flute at 1:01, which the DS couldn't quite capture, is like Arceus' gift to my ears.
The only real criticism, I can think of, comparing this to the original, are the gong hits at 1:49, which in the original just hit that tiny bit harder by standing out more from the rest of the instruments, which to me really put the gravity of the situation, the game puts you in, into my brain. But yup, that's just about the only thing, that closely prevented another remix of Temporal Tower to topple the OG. And manages to be only the 2nd alternative version to tie it for greatness.
And seriously, given the quality of these, asking for you to cover the entire soundtrack of PMD2 is probably unreasonable. You have a life too, after all, and none of us have the right to tell you, how to spend it (even though the choice of doing this project has greatly eased those of many here, I'm certain ;) ).
Thank you for this. Sincerest gratitude to you from Germany!
So glad to see you getting back to do music and focus on enjoying it! Forcing yourself to do something, which doesn't bring you joy as a hobby is pointless and it always recognizable in the finished piece, which wasn't done out of joy or passion.
I totally support you in that way. Creative pieces don't get created by force. They appear on their own way, which can just be guided but not controlled.
this one gets me SO HYPED to do a replay of explorers honestly, its SO GOOD
YO I HAVE BEEN EAGERLY AWAITING THIS TO DROP FOR LIKE 8 YEARS AND ON A RANDOM AHHH NIGHT IN MARCH IT HAPPENED
incredible, you are finally back
Oh my gosh, I just went to look for your old PMD remasters from back in the day. I've known you've moved on for a while, and I've lurked during some of your speedrun era stuff (particularly with Undertale). But I DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE NEW UPLOADS FOR PMD2 OOOOOOOO
Been waiting years for this remix and we got it!
Last thing I expected to see upon clicking on my subscriptions page today. Very pleasantly surprised.
OMG ARE YOU FOR REAL ?? MY FAVORITE PMDRMP SOUNDTRACK REMASTERED BY YOU ????
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!
What year is it?
Could it be?! TGH back working on PMD remixes? 2024 is shaping up to be beautiful 😭
Huh. Guess I'm updating my playlist for the PMD2 Remastering Project. It really has been 8 years, huh? Welcome back, and hope you enjoy making random remasters of songs you enjoy! :D -If only PMD:GtI had MIDIs...-
Fun Fact: TGH was one of the people who inspired me to make a bunch of playlists for different PMD songs when I was younger. Nowadays, I don't keep up on it, but it was fun while it lasted.
