@ExecuteRobot Not really, unless you take the term "Classical" to its actual definition. Baroque and Classical are from two different time periods. Both with different styles of form and instruments.
The castlevania soundtrack literally has something in there for everyone....rock, jazz, classical, pop and some crazy atmospheric ambience. There is no doubt in my mind this is the greatest game soundtrack.
Easily my favorite tune in Symphony of the Night. This game's Soundtrack is so amazing, that Michiru Yamane instantly became one of my favorite videogame composers of all time.
This particular melody speaks of supernatural elegance!
@lfung1978 WHOA! Didn't notice that before! Hey listen to Mortivia Fountain from Castlevania Curse of darkness, and tell me if it sounds like Lost Painting at one point!
This music is truly a pleasure to listen, but it is unfortunately uncomplete : missing yhe part with the four trills at the end, before the music starts again to play. To hear the complete track, search "wood carving partita" on youtube and select the third video, by shadowtheoblivious.
Does anyone know how I can get this song to play on loop like it does in the game? I'm in the midst of working on an RPG and want to use this song for a library.
i can picture the time period people walking around with powdered wigs and rapiers, with those snoody looks on their faces while they duel , until they duel alucard DARK METAMORPHISIS! -stab gain life - runs away into the night XD
@theBaglady74 Just for your info, from what I understand, the enemy you kill doesn't determine the jewel that drops. The diamond can drop from ANY enemy while you have the jewel sword equipped. Its just extremely rare. Just in case you never knew.
the librarian made me mad cause he kept saying hehe thank you everytime i sold a gem so i went under his chair and grav jumped him into the ceiling but then he gave me a ring of arcana axelord armor and dracula tunic so i wore my duplicator and equipped a meal ticket then gave him a bunch of food
@vaanshadow lol you said * slips tea* meaning you slipped as in a boxer slipping a punch. You know I would like to watch classic boxing to this. Off to tab in a Jack Dempsey now. toodles....
Not that it isn't the greatest game ever, but it lends so much to this music! WHAT GAME TODAY realeased by for instance Electronic arts with a buff dude has this kind of music?? Where today can a game be BASED on the music? Ahhhh Michiru opening minds.
When I hear this, I imagine an old man carrying a cross, and then being attacked by crows/bats. Alucard comes as from nowhere, and then slashes at them with a sword.
whenever i enter our school's library, i put on my earphones and listen to this song on loop. when the librarian asked me " what can i do for you?". i was so fucking tempted to say "I AM INTERESTED IN THIS" ROFL
@Lvl9chao WTF!?! Do it next time, you'll be glad you did... Now Ima have to copy you in hopes of getting to do this; Ima find an old librarian n' say it just like Alucard too. You get a thumbs up for adding something to my bucket list.
I wonder how this would sound on the SNES?I bet it would sound like crap!!!. I'm glad Yamane stuck with the genesis/megadrive and scored Bloodlines than this piece of Beautiful Art.
@Chepito2846 SNES sounds like shit when not used properly. But when i hear OSTs like FF6, Chrono Trigger, Zelda Alttp and some others, i'm sure they could have made it sound right. The problem is that Konami never made really good sound on this console. I mean, Castlevania 4 and Dracula X have good tracks but shitty quality when it comes to instruments. So yeah... In the end, I guess you're right, this would've sound like shit on SNES XD
todas estas canciones me traen los buenos recuerdos de mis dias enteros pasando este juego...y sacando todo el porcetanje posible con los cuadros blancos etc.....
jejeje esta es una d las mejores canciones...la d la libreria :D
I am so very blessed. I fulfilled every castlevania fan's dream cum true. I played til the library, set the controller down so this song played while I had sex with my girlfriend on Halloween. Doesn't get better than that. *gamer legend*
@sirwartooth While I assure you that your social engineering attempt at procuring some sweet amateur nerd pr0nz to leak is appreciated, I likewise assure you that it is also fail. Whether or not you believe a tree fell in the forest is irrelevant, because though you see no picture of it (therefore fulfilling your dimwitted illogical quota for sufficient debunking evidence) I assure you that a tree fell in the woods. A cursory glance at any nearby woods will confirm it. Anyway, cool story troll.
