What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix.

[Bahamut]

As with the album, this track is good stuff - love the dramatic funkiness that this track has.

Can't go wrong with more Morse!

[ktriton]

Awesome work, Josh! I can see how difficult the original was to arrange, but--as always--that JM class shines through.

Synth solo was probably my favorite part--either that or the buildup to the end.

Great stuff!

[SubNormal J3]

Some of the best beats on the site man!

[Deathtank]

this is probably my "less wanted" remix of sonata, but that doesnt mean it´s bad of course! Great job Josh!
btw, anyone knows where to find JM's Symphony of the night remix album?

[OA]

Some of the string attacks seem a little slow, but it fits the overall Castlevania feel I've come to expect, and I love the panning and effects. Good solos round it out, and some nice beats as well. Good stuff, and pretty dramatic work for JM. Check it out!

[Platonist]

wow!
another cool castlevania remix by Joshua.
Dude, your productions just get slicker and slicker by the minute.
I love the harmonization at 2:30~ ish

keep it up.

[TheCorty]

I love how active and full of energy this one is while still feeling kinda...calm. Can't wait to hear more of his stuff. It's unique but easy to get into.

[Kadosho]

I honestly love this track most of all in PoR.
It must have been tough to retrack the entire song.
*Fear of Haze is literally 3 songs in one - minus the boss increment??
**in 2:20 wow that was a nice segway

This is a great cover!

It's just as cauldron-y as the first time I heard it. Seriously, the many gloopy, bubbly sounds are so up-front that I almost can't think of anything BUT a witch's cauldron boasting a simmering green liquid of dubious substances. Not that it makes listening to the mix uncomfortable; on the contrary, it's that eternal texture that I love about this. It just kinda drowns out (ha ha, see what I did there) the other ingredients.

Aside from that, intense mix is intense.

[DragonAvenger]

Overall, not feeling this song as much as the others on the album, but I think that is more based on the source itself than Morse's take on it. I do like that he took a challenge and went with it, and came out with a successful mix none-the-less. Overall it's a bit hectic, which works in it's own way, and is pretty cool. Not my favorite, but still an enjoyable listen.

Regrettably, I haven't given much time to listen to Sonata of the Damned since its release. These mixes are all great. I know very little of the source music for the Castlevania games, but I really want to listen to it now.

This one caught me from the top. From the opening I knew I was going to like it, and I wasn't disappointed. It has been so long since I listened to it, it feels like listening for the first time. It's really funky and cool, just listening to what's going on. It's dark and crazy-sounding. I can't really think of what to say in detail, just that it's something really cool to just sit back and listen to.

[Emunator]

I'm the opposite of Deia on this one, I really feel like this was the most memorable song on Sonata, for the same reason as she said - it really does have a lot to do with the source, it just... funks it up a lot :-D Brings back a lot of good memories to Portrait of Ruin, one of the Castlevania games that stole the most time from me overall while I tried to complete it 100%.

Definitely feels like a standout track to me!
