Castlevania II: Simon's Quest

Oh poppa, r u gonna luv this one ^^ What was already a fantastic track originally (Bloody Tears) has been taken to new heights by Kaijin AND Ailsean - each masters of the ReMix trade in their own right. This is sort of like 'Clash of the TItans' only in this case the Titans are helpin' each other make a kickass CV ReMix. This also pisses me off because I've been wanting to mix something from CV for along time myself and this ups the ante considerably, imo :) What we got, listeners, is a jaw-dropping rock'n'roll fest, with mighty Ailsean lending some crunchy lead guitar to Kaijin's immaculate accompaniment. A perfect collaboration, as each ReMixer's strengths are optimized to the utmost to bring friggin' fantastical ear candy straight to your noggin'. This ain't your momma's Castlevania ReMix ^^ So in case you can't tell, I consider this an ABSOLUTE must-have for all listeners, regardless of race, creed, color, religion, sexual preference, or opinion of the film 'Goonies'. Magic 8 Ball says: You will download it. From the phaser on da guitar at one point to the smokin' drum track, what else can I say but: quality.

Honestly the best CV remix I've yet heard. Blew me away when I found this -- screams on a good sound system.

What? I have to see this!
And this remix is still great for being as old as it is. I really like the style of it. Reminds me of a high-production doujin arrange.

Definitely one of the best collabs I have heard.

This one is awesome as hell, just for being used in that local car commercial. The intro totally has that feel. ("OH SHIT, U GO FAST IN THIS PENIS CAR, NO MONEY DOWN!)
For its age, this one actually holds up pretty well, way better than I remember it, as I was only big on the intro back in the day. The phasing synth in the middle handling the melody could have been more graceful in terms of the sequencing, but was a great concept. Pretty nice stuff that was very interpretive and creative.

I don't like the Castlevania games...but I love their soundtrack, and this remix is awesome!!!
9.67 / 10

A. This is pure awesome. I love the work of both Ailsean and Kaijin. Nice job.
B. I was simultaneously listening to this and browsing the internet. I happened to be on the OneUp Studios forums. While reading one of Mustin's comments, I couldn't help but pay closer attention to his signature image than I usually do. Wait until about 12 seconds in and then look at this image:

You should do something with that on this forum too Mustin. :D

You know, people only do rock covers of Castlevania songs when remixing. But you guys did it right! This remix is badass!

- CheezSamich4Hire on November 23, 2005
This rocks hard, plain and simple. Something you can bang your head to, but not break your neck. It just really rocks. CV music tends to go well with rock and this is no exception.
And for the previous post, this remix was based off a NES game, which would be pretty tough to pull of rockingness on the NES (but there may have been a few "rocking out" songs on the NES. Somebody mentioned Marble Madness - Level 2 I think once). They just seem to translated to hard rock/metal/whatever it's called so well, that is why there are so many remixes in that style at OCR, from goat (powergoat.com), Megadriver (megadriver.com.br), Minibosses (minbosses.com), and Konami themselves (check out http://www.classicgaming.com/castlevania and go to the multimedia page).

Rock'n roll! yeah, sure, the guitar is perfect, but... hey, I've never played Castlevania (i know, i know, shame on me) but the soundtrack must be rock all the way, aint it?

- Selios on October 3, 2005
Dude, can I hire the guitarist? The technical skill is pretty slick. I'm not a big fan of the synthesis in this one, though. That's gotta go.

- meccaneer on October 3, 2005
Two words.
Holy FREAKING crap. o_o
Okay, that was three...but can you blame me? This mix is completely, and TOTALLY kick butt. I salute you, Ailsean, and Kaijin. You rock. SO hard.

- Stalwart Jester on September 13, 2005
When I saw Kaijin AND Ailsean I nearly pissed my pants, and the song didn't disappoint. The only problem is some awkward harmony around 1:15, but this is still worth a download. Great work guys!

- ghaleon on March 10, 2005
So freakin good, it made me want to download the original to compare it against. Meh, either way, this sounds fscking awesome. To not like this, is to truly lack good taste.

- BlueMage on March 1, 2005
Ailsean, you are Lord of the Guitar! And Kaijin is also among my top remixers now. Besides Terra in Black, this would have to be my favorite remix EVER! I added this to my Castlevania Remix CD. (yes, all of the tracks are cv remixes)
Well done, Ailean and Kaijin!

- Broken Saint on November 4, 2004
To make a terrible pun on the title of the mix: Hella' good. That said, It sounded really good. I'm not sure really how much I liked the melody line, but... These guys could remix "Pop goes the weasel" in this style and still have it sound awesome. Nice job, guys.
