The Tragic Prince Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 I really like this, but I downloaded an older version of it, and I don't know why but I liked one of the samples in it better. Like I said this is great, but my favorite Castlevania remix will always be CastleMania by AmIEvil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STS Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Definately like this one. It's got a smooth, laid back sound to it. When I was browsing the section and saw this, I thought it'd be a simple remix with a jazz kick, but was blown away by the style of this remix. Excellent piano parts and well conducted drums.

entropicdecay Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Baranowsky never fails to amaze. Very relaxing. Is it just me or does this have sort of a "flat" sound to it? Otherwise, it's fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonFireKai Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 This is great, it's leisure suite simon in the land of the lounge lizards. It's Castlevainia in Cheap Polyester instead of Hardcore Leathers. I love it. It's so cheesy that it trancends all cheesiness. the instumentals fit perfectly.

SixthFlyingMan Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Let me put it this way: The remixers here (Most notably goat, but this peice also has played a huge part) have managed to entirely destroy and replace my blanket opinion of Castlevania music. I saw it as crap, but just a couple times through listening to this and StainedGlassFilth.... Great job, Mr. B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmegaSephiroth Posted January 28, 2005 Share Posted January 28, 2005 I love how they snuck in some songs from SotN, seeing how I love the music from the game and that you really dont see to much it anyplace, and there it is blanketed nice and snug in the song, and It sounds darned good to boot. More more more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rychan Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 This song rocks It flows and builds so, so well. One of those songs that I can keep on repeat for a long time. Kudos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RimFrost the Tourianist Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I've had this amazing remix for a long time now..I love it to the max. But i never gave it a post before so i'll do that then... +1 to Mr. Baranowsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trentdaddy Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 A wonderful remix. I usually prefer a mix to remind me of the game (I hate it when I can't recognize it), but this song blows that thought away. Does remind me of Sim City/The Sims at times, but that is all gravy with me. I honestly think that this could be put in a lounge (maybe even elevator music) and it would sound like authentic Lounge music. People here have noted the SOTN samples with positive opinions. I like them in there myself also, but they actually seem less "loungey" to me. These are one of those songs that the genre works the game music, not the other way around. A definitely well done remix that is certainly going on my Castlevania mix disc(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Down Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 My varity in music didn't change much until toward the end of my High School years when I was a Junior and on. I got more into Jazz and well, where am I going with this? I enjoyed the remix. It definately is an interesting remix to say the least. However, even I am having a hard time trying to come up with words to describe this remix. I can tell you I enjoy listening to it when I do homework because it helps me focus, which in a way proves it's good at getting someone to focus on something they are trying to get done rather then trying to pick the thing apart instrument by instrument. It's just a very simple piece that I feel stands on its own due to its rather unusual style, I say unusual because I haven't heard anyone else attempt such a remix in such a way. Definately gets my two thumbs up of approval as far as good listening music goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42 Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 my intention was to convey the cheesy, homogenous nature of lounge music, as if the Belmont Family had started up a bar band to jam out their zombie fightin' frustrations. While I don't know if Daniel was stating if his mix is cheesy or if lounge music as a whole is cheesy, this mix is not. It's not really jazz, but it's close enough. Its still smooth, mellow, and good. Even still, I can't really find myself liking this one. I want to, but I can't really put my finger on why though.

SoulinEther Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 I kinda agree with 42 on this one. It's good, but it's not something I would (usually) purposefully want to listen to attentively. For me, maybe I just feel that a medley of songs which doesn't vary too much from the original (other than in tempo and instrumentation), even if the songs are really slickly combined together and sound so laid-back and flowing, doesn't hold my interest as well as a remix centered around one to a few themes/melodies. Still, it is worth a listen (or perhaps multiple listens, or longterm love), because it is interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhsu Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Oh my. Danny's definitely come a long way since this was posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 So a pretty good medley, but besides the strength of the original themes, there isn't much about the arrangement that really captivates me. It was pleasant enough while I was listening, but nothing compels me to hit 'repeat'. I agree with Dhsu, Danny B has come a long way.

ahrgauss Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Something about this kind of feels like Castlevania meets Persona, which I suppose is understandable, since Persona is very pop-lounge feeling at times. I'm usually not terribly fond of Lounge remixes, but I rather dig this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WesternZypher Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I thought about this mix every-time I passed the now permanently closed Belmont Lounge near Union Square (eh, it wasn't great by all accounts). But this song, this song is great: good beat, perfect for summer night wanderings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolflord Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I don't know what it is with this song, but I've loved it since it debuted (well, almost...I did miss the old version). I have no real gripes with it. It is long, but I find myself enjoying it the whole time. It has a permanent spot on my jazzy remix playlist.
