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

[Mullion]

Extremely good remix

[Chernabogue]

I waiting for this one to hit the front page! It's excellent, nice job! But I already told you that!

[reelmojo]

Excellent work, RoeTaKa!

[derako]

I enjoyed this. Orchestration good, really good mixing considering EWQL Gold 16 bit samples (nice string runs). I liked the choir also, EWQL Symphonic/VOTA?

[CyberSkull]

Very good work. I like it even though I only have passing familiarity with a few of the arranged songs.

[OCR Podcast]

"Hmm. Another Castlevania ReMix?" I mumbled idly to myself, clicking the download button without any idea whatsoever that an orchestra was about to move into my eardrums and proceed be unrealistically epic.

This is a PRETTY GOOD SONG.

[Uffe von Lauterbach]

As I took a listen to this, I looked back into the description to see if there was any mention of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow, and noticed that Óscar Araujo's name was mentioned. For the most part, RoeTaka did a really good job at giving it that feeling while also making the melodies recognizable.

i love orchestration rearrangements bombastic, huge, over-the-top. Had a hard time recognizing the themes but that's just on me. I liked how it felt like a final boss fight with the driving, the tension, the "releases" and how that was repeatedly used

[givecake]

Every time I load up OCREMIX, I look for a couple of games in the latest remixes. Some of those are Castlevania games. I clicked this hoping as usual, but I wasn't ready for just how good this was and is. It blew my mind. Absolutely excellent work. All I can say is, thank you And if I may be bold enough, may I ask - please consider doing more Castlevania remixes! Streets of Rage, Street fighter, Final Fantasy 7 and all the typical others need your hand, too.

You brought out a lot of feelings in me, and here's proof:

Sweet stuff, man. The orchestral elements of this mix sounds like it would fit in to a cinematic soundtrack to me, especially for credits or traveling scenes. Having the orchestrated konami jingle at the start was an awesome touch and I'm digging the vocal chants going on along with Vampire Killer's section near the end there. Damn good ReMix.

[RoeTaKa]

Thanks guys! Feels good to get something on here again after so long.

Excellent work, RoeTaKa!

Damn Caleb it's been a real long time, hope you're doing well man.

I liked the choir also, EWQL Symphonic/VOTA?

The choir is from IK Multimedia's Miroslav Philharmonik.

[sandmann999]

Oh wow, the little Konami chime at the beginning brought me way back...

Nicely done.

[Chernabogue]

New review: This pushes OC ReMix's bar even higher in terms of orchestral remixes. The way you arranged the classic themes into LoS' style worked perfectly. The samples are of great quality and the arrangement is excellent. It's also super cool to see someone giving a shot to modern soundtracks. Man, I'll never tire from hearing the LoS Main Theme. Awesome job!

[Necrox]

Really good arranging; it sounds AAA grade in more than just sample quality. Not really my thing, but excellent work. I especially like the choir and Bloody Tears. The 5:00 section is sweet too.

[Marscaleb]

I'd love to see more like this.
