Well, here it is. The one song from KiC that didn't make me want to stab things. I wish more remixers would let the composer's original material shine through rather than obscure it by perpetuating their own particular pet genre, ie. TRANCE. But that's just my opinion. Thankyou, Aetherius, for restoring my hope in OCR for at least another year. Awesome, awesome stuff.

I'm in the process of combing kvraudio.com for vst plugins. Any recommendations? So far I've got Organized Trio, Oberon, Panzertank, Quantum 64, and Triforce.

I don't like the oboe. It lacks the edge and pagan feel that most CastleVania music has. I'm also lukewarm to all the dissonant guitar/piano chords. It has too many notes!

1. No, I do not plan on making the movie. I have expressed a hope that should these two aspects of the movie come together, somebody will be willing to help create the third, namely the visual. But for now, the OST and the script are the only two finished products we're shooting for. 2. Yes, I took out Ayla and Robo. Along with them, I took out nearly an hour of unnecessary and confusing sidequests/backstory which would have drowned the movie with more than it needs. So know that my decision was well-thought-out, and the resulting product is not hurt, but instead is helped because of it. ...But Robo's my favorite Awww, is widdle Zaphwin gunna cwy? P'zoned!!!

Chrono Trigger sux and your script is worse than shit. Darkesworde can't do orchestral, all he can do is retarded syruppy faux-saxamophone dealies. "Where am i... better yet when am i" rotfl when am i CT tributes are for nostalgic losers go to the bar and get a life. I feel smart.

Augh. I listened to this project thouroughly today, and I'm sad to say I don't care for it much. I won't name names, but several of these "remixes" bear almost no resemblance to the original tracks. I don't get why people start remixing a particular game, as a homage, and then put their own made-up trance anthem/bad choir patch as the focus of their entry, maybe taking ten-seconds to cover the original melody. Sorry, it just bothers me. Although I am the idiot who signed up for Simian Segue way back when and forgot to do it, so maybe I should back off. To Aethirus, Analoq, Unknown, and Vigilante - my prevailant distaste for this album does not extend to your entries. Nice!

Cool. But when I click "info" beside each song on the downloads page, nothing happens.

Ah, Mazedude, life of the OCR party. Yep, he certainly understands that music is supposed to be fun! Great remix of a low-key NES classic.

Not the best homage to the original, but still, HOT. I am flamingly gay for those electric guitar textures.

I agree with fisherman. I've heard this soundscape before. The saxophone chords are nearly identical to those in Angel. The choir patch does exactly the same thing it did in Party in the Snowland. I notice a few differences in accompanyment though. The bass isn't as low-key as it usually is in your mixes, and the drums are somewhat more lively. Still, to the casual listener, it's hard to differentiate this from some of your other styles. So yes, it stands on it's own feet, but it has a formulaicness to it.

Well, everybody has their own pet instruments...

Hate to interrupt, but I have a sample request. I need a steel drum. Anybody know of a good soundfont or some wav samples?

I don't really like this one. I'm usually keen on flutes, but I don't like how this flute is arranged at all. Doesn't pause enough. It reminds me that I'm not listening to the real thing, right during the climax of the song. The intro is very nice, although I don't like the bubbling-brook sfx. Overall, this song is nice, but very boring compared to some of the other instrumental pieces on this site.

Dude, using a soundfont for drums is a dumb idea. Samples are infinitely more flexible, and if you want to make an interesting breakbeat/dnb track, flexible drums are essential!!! http://www.djbb.dk/bb_samples.php has an overwhelming number of breakbeat samples and loops - soundfonts should be a last resort!
