i have so many cv osts, remixes and albums its not funny, so therell be a bunch of editing to this one as i piece things together
cvlos has an epic ost, my main problem with it is so few songs are memorable, most of them are walls of sound that do fit well when youre playing the game, but too many songs hit you upside the head with a skyscraper or sound way too similar so you cant easily pick one out, waterfalls of agharta though is an excellent piece, it has a simplicity to it where you can readily tell it apart and it builds upon its own motif, rather than most of the soundtracks heavy reliance on reusing the gods mask/last battle themes everywhere, it does make for a unified movielike soundtrack but it loses a lot of what makes castlevania music so epic, that you can have wildly different compositions right next to each other but they fit the area they are tied to and enhance it so well that you dont notice a jump from a heavy metal piece like tragic prince to a period harpsichord piece like wood carving partita, and the songs are memorable, how many people remember the 18 second song Silence that only plays once in SotN, or can tell the 4 boss themes apart fairly quickly and their relative place in the game, or be able to hum songs from classicvania like bloody tears, silence of daylight, monster dance, wicked child, vampire killer, mad forest, sinking old sanctuary, iron blue intention, calling from heaven, slash, opus 13, beginning, bloodlines, cross fear, overture, dance of the holy man, and out of time
epic but memorable

Always loved this one too. Just hits that ghostly theater vibe. I really hope Yamane hits a sweet spot between Lament and SOTN's soundtrack. Somewhere in the middle of that would be great.
and this ... I'll always have fond memories of this music in the original trailer
Soundtrack wise I'd rank it : SOTN LAMENT ARIA

One of my favourite is Lost Painting from SOTN : I really love the wandering atmosphere and the feels you are in a special place, far from the Castle. A good exemple is the underground caverns you can explore in the game. It looks like it's a place that was here way before the castle was build and I love the magical ambiance of it. I would be glad to see those kind of areas in Bloodstained, as well as a smooth music like Lost Painting.

I think that when we start getting more music reveals, us fans are going to go nuts. I have a feeling that the music in Bloodstained is going to be beyond epic!

I think my Walkman has become sentient from Bloodstained hype. Yesterday, it played 3 versions of An Empty Tome back to back on the way home and today it did 3 versions of Bloodlines back to back as I was coming back. On shuffle. Out of 6+ gigs of mp3s.
But yes, I'm really hoping for sometime soon getting some new music snippets released in updates. That's another major area we've not heard any more on since the Kickstarter launched. It's not something any of us are particularly worried about, but it'd be great to hear a piece or two from Yamane/Yamada.

The only flaw with Lost Painting is that it's overused in the Inverted Castle. I guess it must have been an issue of time constraints but the fact that the Inverted Castle has so much less music variety than the Regular Castle is weird. IF there is an Inverted Castle in Bloodstained I hope that they have the time/resources to give both castles a robust soundtrack. I'll also cosign with others in that a pair of new tracks would be a sweet future update <3 i have so many cv osts, remixes and albums its not funny, so therell be a bunch of editing to this one as i piece things together cvlos has an epic ost, my main problem with it is so few songs are memorable, most of them are walls of sound that do fit well when youre playing the game, but too many songs hit you upside the head with a skyscraper or sound way too similar so you cant easily pick one out, waterfalls of agharta though is an excellent piece, it has a simplicity to it where you can readily tell it apart and it builds upon its own motif, rather than most of the soundtracks heavy reliance on reusing the gods mask/last battle themes everywhere, it does make for a unified movielike soundtrack but it loses a lot of what makes castlevania music so epic, that you can have wildly different compositions right next to each other but they fit the area they are tied to and enhance it so well that you dont notice a jump from a heavy metal piece like tragic prince to a period harpsichord piece like wood carving partita, and the songs are memorable, how many people remember the 18 second song Silence that only plays once in SotN, or can tell the 4 boss themes apart fairly quickly and their relative place in the game, or be able to hum songs from classicvania like bloody tears, silence of daylight, monster dance, wicked child, vampire killer, mad forest, sinking old sanctuary, iron blue intention, calling from heaven, slash, opus 13, beginning, bloodlines, cross fear, overture, dance of the holy man, and out of time epic but memorable Oh snap isn't that a remix of Black Banquet from SOTN? I'm guess that's the battle theme with "Dracula" in that game?

I think that when we start getting more music reveals, us fans are going to go nuts. I have a feeling that the music in Bloodstained is going to be beyond epic! With Michiru Yamane on their side, I really think we can't be disappointed. I dunno Ippo Yamada much but Cursed Orphan is really sick ! The track somehow reminds me of Dracula's Castle from SOTN (back in the day, that surely was as heavy). I'm pretty sure it will be our entrance music, after the door closes itself and, suddenly, a monster creep out of the floor ?

Ha, I didn't know he worked on RE. That's cool. Some things picked up from that musical style wouldn't be entirely out of place in Castlevania as well. I mostly knew him from III's work on the Zero/ZX stuff and knew he was with Capcom before, but not sure on which games he contributed to.
Kaufman is a nut. His wackiness often borders on genius.

So HoD for the GBA gets a lot of boos in audio quality but I really like the songs from that game. Especially these arrangements.
Honestly I love a lot of songs from Igavanias but HoD had a certain flair to it that other games did not. It was more chaotic. I think a mix between stuff above and Dance of Pales (one of my favorite songs ever from an Igavania) would be nice. Waterfalls of A... From LoS is very nice though too.
I just hope nothing like curse of darkness. That soundtrack was far too repetitive. Especially the first level, the abandoned castle. I remember being disappointed straight away just from that theme.
For those who need a refresher haha.

Yeah Harmony actually has nice tunes but the sound quality definitely held it down.
Also, I totally agree a mix of that and the Dance of pales sound is for the best. Such a good sound for a soundtrack. Check out the orchestra version i posted of it above. I also wasn't a fan of curse of darkness' score.

I actually disagree about Curse of Darkness' music. I quite enjoyed most of it, even if it was a little repetitive.

Now that all the excitement for the new shaders has died down, I want to bring attention to music. In the latest Feedback document ( found here) we have the option to post what the next update may be about. Why music for the next update? 1) It would give the art team some extra time to work with till their next update 2) It's already been 7 months since the Kickstarter ended. I'd Like to know what Yamane, Yamada and Virt had been up to since then. Maybe get some more tracks for the folks to remix. 2a) Simple Math. More tracks+More remixes=More music for Mike in the podcast We all known how welcomed a solid soundtrack would be in any game. So why not see or hear what they've been up to.

That's precisely what I put in that box, myself. I can't imagine there isn't new material they could show us, or a WIP thereof.

I need ur halp
I really like making playlists of music for no real reason, and being a gigantic Castlevania fan, I was really happy when I found a playlist on a Castlevania Facebook page. That being said, it had a very odd number of songs (45) and I disagreed with some of the choices of music. So, a few additions, subtractions, and around half a year later, I find that I'm far too prissy to settle on a final selection of 50 "quintessential" Castlevania songs, so I turn to you, the army of the night, to help me out. What songs do you consider to be quintessential Castlevania songs? I can post a list of the 50 I've got, but I won't unless I'm asked so I don't clog up the thread.
And on the topic of Bloodstained's music!
I feel like there has to be a good variety of gothic and action-based music. Cursed Orphan is an amazing action theme, very upbeat and fast. It's got a neat focus on strings that almost transcends what you'd expect it so sound like, but still keeps it firmly in that category of "music that gets your blood pumping!" Gothic stuff is the slower paced stuff like Requiem of the Gods or Mystery Manor that set the atmosphere. I think not leaning too much on one or the other is the key to Castlevania's success. SC4 doesn't have enough exciting themes for me so I feel like despite having high-quality music it's fairly weak as far as its OST goes.

So, I was just thinking. Isn't it freakin' exciting that we will get new Yamane music in high quality for this game? Not to bring up SOTN like I always do but this will be the first high quality side scrolling igavania on consoles with the dream team. It pumps me up, not just that but some of the tracks being full orchestra. Been listening to Aria of Sorrow's Top Floor theme... That game had such great music.
