Castlevania

Mr. Peeples, what are we going to do with you . . . you're too good. You reek of high-quality beats and processing. You're consistently kick-ass. Something MUST be done, some sort of measure taken!! Ahh, but I jest. Surely though, one of the greatest things about running this site is seeing supertalented mixers like Scott encouraged and inspired by the appreciation and feedback. This excellent Castlevania ReMix of the 'Wicked Child' theme has (as usual) a kickin' beat, but is more orchestral than Scott's other mixes, and has really beautiful sounding pizzicato strings that are at once spacious and defined. Check out the original soundtrack over at MERIDIAN, too :)

One of the first songs to ever go on my playlist from OCR, and to see it not get any love in over 3 years makes me sad. :-(
Excellent beats and layered percussion added to the perfect tempo combine with some decent orchestral samples to create something really compelling. Arrangement doesn't stray too far from the original, but even so, it's a really driving mix that is one of the really early gems of the site.
Excellent stuff.

Love this mix! I'm pretty sure it was the first one that i downloaded from OCR. Thanks to its amazing quality, the song made me want to look for more and more mixes. Keep up the good work!

I like it very much. This was the very first remix which I found on the net, and after some further searching I finally found this site.

although i'm quite new to this site, i've checked out some of scott's other mixes, i'd have to say this is one of my favorites and one of the first mixes i listened to when i first checked out the site, great work on this one, i really loved the orchestra strings, check out scott's goldeneye remix aka hacker, it's also a really good one too!
Peace and stay frosty!

Best remix I've heard in a while.

Just wanted to let Scott know that his mix is still appreciated. :D
I listen to OC Remixes all day at work and I always love it when this mix gets queued up. This is one of the first OCRs I downloaded, it's also one that's kept me coming back for more.
Take care.

What a wicked orchestra
Mixed with a bad-ass techno drum loop makes it all the better but what I love most is the melody
A better instrument couldn't have been chosen for those bitter-sweet, short, pizzicatto notes
I'm once again impressed by Scott Peeples!

I'm not a great fan of the eight bit castlevainia soundracks, but Scott makes it so clear, so crisp, so grand. Kudos to you.

Very nicely done... One of my favorites.

Woah that was a badass Orchestra. Wow.

This is the first OCremix song I ever listened to, so I thought I'd honor it by posting on this one first. Its what made me decide to check out this site really. I'll join the bandwagon and say the pizzicatos are divine. All in all, the best way to describe this song for me anyways: Its like a (metaphorical) orgasm in my ears. And I'll leave it at that, because the people who posted before me said anything else that needs to be said. Simply amazing work, Scott.

OH HOLY CRAP! THIS IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- Wolf Tooth on March 5, 2004
I really like this one, even though it's not really my style. I collect mostly orchestral remixes and that's what this one was listed as. Now, this is just oen fan's opinion, but i felt that the melody was a bit...cartoony? That's just my opinion. Good job though!

The contrast between orchestral and heart-pumping pseudo-breakbeat is done superbly here. I pretty much agree with everyone else; this is an excellent piece with no noticable flaws. If I had to make one complaint about it, it would be that the drums are somewhat boring after awhile (then again, I HAVE listened to it at least a hundred times) without any variation in them. But everything else? Awesome. I'd say 9/10.

- zircon on July 31, 2003
Ohoho! Listening to it now. This is awesome, Scott! It's our best yet, of the ones I've heard. You picked a good tune and everything.
