The Submerged City: Super Castlevania 4 Music

[joder96]

What type of jazz is this?

[Roswell01Area51]

The Submerged City: Welcome to New Orleans and Venice to name a few!

[BlueRushAlt]

Sound like dracula has his own personal Cafe.

[my4trackmachine]

wow this is jazzy to the max. i like it tho. that bass... o yeah.... mmmmm

[DunkinDonutful]

1:20 dude this music is so ahead of its time.

[jesus77755]

and fuck i can't find "PTMDLBTSify", why are you replying to him and saying rude things to him, I can't find his comment!

[GetJesse]

I can't help but think of the mermen enemies jumping out of the water when I hear this song. And the fire-breathing bone dragon; and the living weed that would come to life as you ascended the stairs.

[MDthornton83]

Very soothing tune.

[hiawa23]

Can anyone tell how to get the soundtrack downloaded to my computer or phone so I can make a CD. I love this soundtrack.

[pyahdonequah]

@hiawa23 Realplayer download then convert then "Audacity"

[emiranda2491]

The beginning makes my eardrums tickle

[Mrreebo]

I'm not sure this would really be jazz..........

It's smoother then most VG music....but it's really just a lot of bass, that's not really jazzy

[my4trackmachine]

@Mrreebo listen to those solos!!!!! The key changes and all that god soooo jazzzy!!

[Mrreebo]

@my4trackmachine

I', still not that convinced, it just doesn't sound that jazzy, more of a threatening "Dark Knight"-esq tone

[swbsdavid]

jazzy exactly, excellent

[deejay410]

I absolutely loved this track in the game. Real jazz! Kanomi did a job on this one.

[JFPRe]

My favorite Castlevania of SNES, excellent soundtrack.

[toastedtesticles]

I think I heard the bass part before on Symphony of the Night in the Underground Cavern area.

[kdreamland]

amazing tune!!!!! but you really have to listen to this while playing the hgame, to get the full effect!

[thepinupgirl1]

I never finished this game even today i really try and im not able to do it :S But i just loooove this game!!!!

[aacglucas]

the eye atack ;(

[thesomeonetwo]

I'm on DXM right now. this is fucksolutely amazing!!

I think I'll piss on myself out of amazement !!!

WOW

[fuckcomments]

@thesomeonetwo Cough syrup?

[thesomeonetwo]

@fuckcomments yes Robitussin DM lol

[TheLivingHermit1]

@thesomeonetwo Never been able to enjoy it... the taste of the Rob in high quantities gives me too much stomach pain.

[thesomeonetwo]

@TheLivingHermit1 Try Robitussin gel caps. You'll feel this increased music appreciation on the first plateau, that is 1.5 to 2.5 mg (DXM) per kg. And yeah be careful and don't kill yourself.

[thecomputerwhiz1]

@hunterof7shadows It's not that I don't like it, it's just that people that tend to troll a lot are pretty stupid. I do find if very funny.

[unleasheth]

if you all like this tune check out conan the barbarian music song called the kitchen and the orgy

[thecomputerwhiz1]

I always get a kick out of seeing idiots attacking each other in comments. Just goes to show how immature people are.

[SkittlesShott]

To help you remain tranquil in the face of almost certain death, smooth jazz will be deployed in 3...2...1

[puddlemonster84]

@PTMDLBTSify ya sometimes it is pretty fun XD but sometime there just stupid, like tis one time i was listening to this FF7 and this one guy was just being a total douch about nothing =_=

[puddlemonster84]

yaay... troll wars... ugh...

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify you dont know shit

[jesus77755]

@Yazunmanto77 WILL YOU LEAVE HIM ALONE YOU SON OF A BITCH, DON'T YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH COMMENTS ABOUT THAT GUY. NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP AND ENJOY THE MUSIC AND LEAVE THAT BITCH ALONE AND STOP FIGHTING!

ＳＨＵＴ ＵＰ ＡＮＤ ＥＮＪＯＹ ＴＨＥ ＭＵＳＩＣ！ ╭∩╮（︶︿︶）╭∩╮

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify you dont know shit

[awsomesause333]

very jazzy :)

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify i cant listen to this song without you cursing me out?

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify

FUCK OFF FUCK YOU, what did i ever do to you?

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify sigh... who would even believe that you composed this piece?

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify btw i didnt get blocked

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify um, hi?

[supersmashbro596]

@PTMDLBTSify uhm no offense but cant we all just listen to this and enjoy it?!? as castlevania fans?!?

[Yazunmanto77]

Everyone point and laugh at PTMDLBTSify!!

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify i read them if i want to you stupid shit, you don't compose shit, you barely even know how to get through the first level, and you don't know shit about my score or if i suck at it or not. You dont even deserve to live dude. FUCK YOU, JUST FUCK OFF DUDE. I DIDN'T BELIEVE A SINGLE FUCKING THING YOU SAID BECAUSE YOU ARE A FUCKING 12 YEAR OLD WANNABE. You know, I think that even Eric Douglas is way better than you. Your a fucking mistake of nature. Enjoy your fucked up life jackass!!!

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify too bad, i played

btw my cousin works for konami, so you can keep saying what you're mommy tells you to tell me

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify keep dreaming noob, this is why people hate you

[Yazunmanto77]

@PTMDLBTSify you got issues nooby nooby noob, theyre selling lives at ebay, why don't you get one?

[speyeker]

This is where the game starts getting hard.

[Pingas81]

God I really hated this level :| Did it in the end, then got stuck on the one after for ages XD

[goldenmoleful]

Brilliant composition, I always loved this song, the music in this game is the reason for playing it.

[Zerolimiter402]

@PTMDLBTSify you do know that people would ask you to show proof that composed it

[wowpockopa]

@PTMDLBTSify im atheist. And what the fuck are you talking about. I dont think this is scary anymore.

[wowpockopa]

When I was 5 i played this with my fathers cousin all night. And when we go´t to this stage i wet my pants because i thought the music was scary xD

[WiiMan3121]

3 people who dislike this are:

1. Dracula

2. Death

3. Shaft

[psychoflee]

@WiiMan3121 ftw :)

[TheCanadianNerd]

probably one of the best songs in the game

[eightequalsequalsdee]

I have recently realized that I will be making music for video games for a living some day and listening to this game's soundtrack for the first time in a long time is some of the inspiration.

And I'm sorry but that little tune at 1:59 does not belong in the song.

[TheKrustaceox]

00:00 "Whats happening ??"

00:07 "Oh shit....."

*when i played the level for the first time*

[edvanced12]

Hmmm...I wonder where Belmont is swinging to in the illustration...

[wickedlady4180]

@edvanced12 Probably the other side of the steps, past the medusa head.

Also: THIS SONG IS AMAZING!

[ChriosM]

@edvanced12 He's swinging to epic victory, that's where!

[DunkinDonutful]

Man....again....i think CV4 has got to be the game with the best collection of musical scores ever....I mean look at this jazz - makes me want to shake my fat ass.

1:20 onwards - just shake it man, shake it good

[DunkinDonutful]

Man....again....i think CV4 has got to be the game with the best collection of musical scores ever....I mean look at this jazz - makes me want to shake my fat ass

[Onslaught808]

This song is brilliant. It has a weird feeling to it. Whoever made it must have been high. At 0:21 it starts to sound like Mr. Rogers. It's like it has 3 different verses and is crazy but still manages to sound smooth really enigmatic...

0:21-1:21 still sounds like Mr. Rogers though...

[ZaneVB]

I know I can't be the only one that notices that main instrument is the cars from the music composer in Mario Paint. lol

[genx304]

i cant get past this part...........YET

[Mrreebo]

@genx304

You forgot the MWAHAHAHA at the end....

[YRAntiNoob]

@genx304 Noob ! (JK)

[genx304]

@YRAntiNoob i got passed now so shut the fuck up and i bet you use emulaters not the real thing

[YRAntiNoob]

@genx304 lol, some people ignore the meaning of JK. Oh well, stupid, rude people are everywhere. Oh, and BTW, wrong bet, "Buddy" !

[DJCandyManMike]

I love that carnival sound at the beginning! Such a great song in an overall superb game.

[DarenSankari]

Never knew i had a soft spot for jazz.

[forevernow4]

is clear that the music influences are from prog rock and jazz fusion, "mahavishnu orchestra, weather report, miles daves. chick corea. etc. just amazing. and good memories!!!

[mydjron]

Do any of you agree that the music on this level reminds you of Mr. Rogers neighborhood or some other television show music on cps channel 8?

[xfoxhound80x]

@mydjron - You took the words right outta my mouth! I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought this LOL

[Onslaught808]

@mydjron HAHAHA! I just made a comment that this sounds Just like Mr. Rogers. LMFAO!!!

[TheZachReed]

The bass in this is so fucking awesome.

[Challenger77]

the best song in the game i love it

[plainrell]

lol i remember when i was little i would go to options and listen to this song all day

[thebrokenrattle]

@plainrell You too? Im remember being so relaxed...which is so funny since some of the other songs were terrifying

[copperhead203]

This game was renowned as one of the best soundtracks of any video game at the time, I think it still is even considering it's a MIDI soundtrack.

[Shieldpaw]

Never mind the actual game.........the music ALONE is enough to terrify you!

[mydjron]

@Shieldpaw Oh come on the music ain't dark at all. If I were a king living in Europe especially in Rome I would have this classy provincial music bring constantly played on a loud speaker. I would also want this level of castlevania 4 as a hideout for a gang I would start myself, which would be all Viking brigand.

[SSinthaNorthwest]

Wow this song is amazing...takes me back to the good ol days of the Snes.

[whostolecarlosrox]

I was just overcome with emotion right now hearing 0:00 - 0:07 realizing videogames aren't like this and will never be like this again. What amazing music. So gothic. Man I'm all teary eyed now...

[LOSTHOMEY1]

The rest of the game is easy compared to this level. And you gotta love that upright bass. Classy

[Loader2K1]

This is one of my favorite tracks from this game. Gameplay-wise, I wish Castlevania: Dracula X could have been as awesome as this game, but I still enjoyed it.

[Nonsensei436]

Probably the only time in video game history that Jazz has been successfully incorporated into a game with vampires.

[mydjron]

@Nonsensei436 I would actually agree this song and the level of the game has some class and stylized detail.

[Mrreebo]

@Nonsensei436

I dunno. Professor Layton is damn close

[NeverwaY]

@Nonsensei436 And oh how sweet it is.

[Makurou]

I wish Lords of Shadow music been like this. they claim they were inspired by SC4 and even quoted the waterfall area from this game in the Agharta level...but most the music is too orchestrated for my Castlevania tastes. dark ambient stuff with soothing/gothic tones and toccatas and ORGANS, Oscar forgot to bring his organ during his composing.

[PeterStoreysbutler]

@Makurou

well the level layout is very similar, the village, forest, cave, waterfalls, dungeon etc but in terms of the music yeah you are right. Great game though and the first proper castlevania since SC4.

[abola2121]

watch?v=LeNr33gIhIM  Castlevania fans must watch this!

[SiRTHiZZL3]

@abola2121 Watch WHAT??!

[rast123456789]

this beat is G-Code

[dragoncare]

awesome, magnificent, just a precius, delicius, refreshing, memorial, brilliant jazz

[jeanlouis7]

this beat is hard!

[pigknuckles211]

there's something about this music that makes me want to kick back with Peter Falk and have a martini or at least watch some old columbo episode..

[mauk4678]

"Mr. Bergundy, we would be honored if you would play yazz flute for us!"

[infectedkoozer]

Mermans ftw?

[zits06]

the beginning is kinda creepy but the rest is ight lol

[crazymetallian]

there are arrange music of sound tracks that comparated with this... they suck balls

i want a version with real instruments of this song... it could be a great jazz song

[RyanZGG]

Geez, just look at that box art. If only more games could have epic cover art like that!

[ShreddingDragon]

I love the fact that such a pure jazz piece was put into a game - and it has no trouble at all fitting the submerged city level, or a Castlevania game whatsoever. Great sense of style :)

[JokerNJester619]

This is my fave part of the game and also my fave song in it.

[deizel90]

there is a part in the middle of janelle monae's Bopbyeya that sounds very similar to this track, i wonder (falls down steps)

[KrimeMater]

Hardest level IMO fucking fish guys squirting me when I was grappling and would fall to my death but the music was amazing and this was a great game but this damn level so hard

[Jdub14000]

Funk jazz!

[ShadowDwellerXXX]

this song always made me think of evil fisherman......o.o

[tcesar]

I hated those fish. They used to make me lose the triple cross (or double, I think).

[XTRABIG]

Absolutely incredible soundtrack!! This is my favorite! How the hell did the sound programmers compose this masterpiece? I wish I could meet the person(s) responsible. Just like many of u I would stop playing to listen or go to the options menu. Would love to hear an actual orchestra cover this game.

Props to Konami!!! SC4 and Axelay!!!!

[JusBLieve]

Jazzy as hell. Like a Marvel Capcom 2 theme. I Loved music from this game though.

Come to think of it though, Why in the Hell haven't Capcom and Konami clashed yet? They need to they're So close to eachother with the things they make.

[ubergo]

@JusBLieve Solid Snake vs. D. Dark, LOL!

[JusBLieve]

Jazzy as hell . like an MVC2 game. I loved the music in this game though. . . .

Come to think of it. . . . Why in the Hell haven't Capcom and Konami Clashed yet ? They need to.

[yngwieregulus]

the gamers of 90's are genius this games of snes were very difficult, no the games today that one night and that's it you end it the game, this retro games are just amazing!!! woooooooo nice music and nice jazz improvisation at 1:20 XD

[clayzee001]

@yngwieregulus i wish i was a gamer of the 90s :( unless you count me being nearly 4 in 1999 and being introduced to games then

[AlexCrazyHand]

Funny melody !

[AcroUltra]

the bass in this song is win

[TheBastard97]

Castlevania and Metroid had the best music ever!

[OsanBlackCat5RS]

whoever played that Organ was really swinging it!!

[AlexCrazyHand]

@OsanBlackCat5RS I agree castelvamia and Metroid has the best music.

[xxashyy]

It still amazes me that the SNES was able to produce high quality music like this back in the day.

[Oni64]

@xxashyy and it was a early SNES game to, I think it came out a lil after the SNES launched.

[Demondlt1]

@thitstal6 you damn right !!!!!

[TheEroe1]

I always liked this song but I just listened to it with some quality headphones and now I love this song.

[jammerjaw]

This song is mainly the reason why I've taken on the double bass violin. I can almost play the bass line of this song.

[hornetpalooza]

Absolutely amazing, would be fun to see a good jazzband do their own take on this live.

[wickedlady4180]

I always imagined driving through New York City on a rainy day w/ this track <3

[Soul2Limbo]

I wish I could go back to 1991 and hear this song for the first time again, but to this day I still love it!

[fyourcouchnigga]

This music is so awesome that it makes me want to sodomize my dog

[bogardboy]

This is so f$#%ing epic... Mercury Steam says Lords Of Shadow comin later this yr is inspired by this game and castlevania 1 only!! I hope we get to re-live most of these moments in that game!! :D

[unleasheth]

oh my so many memories brought back from when i was a kid playing this game, nothing quiet like this track. hard to listen to it actually cuz i wanna go back so bad sometimes

[Laughfiend65]

i love the visions and comments people provide for this game!! sooo classic

[Y0mAMa5957]

relaxing...period.

[genesisSOC]

Isn't it crazy how such an epic high-adrenaline rush game can still have this relaxing?

[Y0mAMa5957]

XD yeah

[samurizzy]

Speechless. A song of Legend.

[MarijuanaGood4U]

The music from the game's box cover (as shown)

[Skyblazerflash]

lol so true...

i imagine there water under with lot of f**cking tritons...burk!!!!!

[Soulcoruptr]

lulz

jk

[Galiaverse]

Makes me think of an underwater poetry lounge with bubbles floating around and a small group playing some swing. You just rest by the bar an close your eyes and mellow out to the hum and whistles of each instrument.

...Then you snap you fingers when done.

[Hakoshen]

Holy shit, I can see it man.

[AflameBeforeLong]

damn straight

[DIRENGREY097]

song sounds so old but good

[Soulcoruptr]

lol

jk

but seriously

[DIRENGREY097]

yea right

[DIRENGREY097]

u kidding me lol

[Soulcoruptr]

this song is just so chlling and makes you want to go to sleep.... like a little .... ba...by.............

[Soulcoruptr]

I just loved this song just when i started to listen to this

[Davaia]

from 0:08 sounds like a mario paint remix

[Stretchypantsmaster]

I got an audiorgasm... this videogame was the coolest thing I knew as a kid. and it still has the greatest music I have heard on the vidya. thanks for upploading man!

[southstar44]

lol

[psychoflee]

this tune fitted perfectly with the area

[MastodonManiac]

Needs more Jazz Flute! This is so awesome thanks for uploading!

[MegaMacTV]

This theme is simply begging for a very competant and skilled smooth jazz remix If anyone knows of one. Please let me know. One of the best, if not the best theme of this game.

[HerrQuixota]

I totally agree.

The Blues would work for this as well.

[KreatorOfDeath1985]

@MegaMacTV

i will make one

hang tight

[abcgefp]

@MegaMacTV SERIOUSLY! unfortunately I have no idea if anybody has remade this song =(

[VideoGameGod64]

@MegaMacTV i am at lvl 8 (i go by lvls. its easier for passwords) and the music is sooo annoying im just wondering "why cant i listen to this" and "when do i get to listen to friggin bloody tears!"

[MegaMacTV]

@MegaMacTV Just thought I would elaborate and say that by "remix" I mean done with real instruments in a smooth jazz fashion. Not that this original isn't competent and skilled, cause it most certainly is. Brilliant use of the SNES synths. ;)

[MagnumBarakkus]

listening to this now and thinking of the time this music is absolutely excellent! way ahead of its time, me and my pal still joke of the piccolo solo on the merman level, this one! the best has the 'final dracula battle' though you knows it!

[AnomieUnknown]

I used to get to this level and just stand in place listening to this song until the time ran out. Something about it was so enchanting and wonderful.

[jmaurice96]

Oh oh oh oh lol

[morlon24]

Ha! you are all my kin cus I made MANY TAPES of the music of this game for my car and to just study any thing to. I also worked out to many songs for this game.

[pmsan29]

Thanks so much for posting this!!!!!!

I thought I was the only playing this game just to make it too this stage, so I could hear this music..LOL.

I even taped this too cassette about 10 years ago, so I could zone out too it in my car..haha.

5 stars

[retsan]

we must be twins because i did that to quite a few vid game songs too. Then I would have to take the tape out when my friends were around so they didnt think i was strange

[remainingnameless]

LOL, wow you too????

[blackflame100]

*Fish-creature jumps out and spits water at Simon*

Simon: Oh-oh-oh-oh...*dies*

LOL, that always happened to me.
