I always loved this video game and the music in it. My dad who passed in 2016 was big on classical music, loved Mozart, Brahms, and Beethoven. He never played a video game a day in his life, but I feel he would have greatly appreciated this collection. The orchestration is immaculate, this turned my video game jams into a musical masterpiece

@midguard7917 11 ай бұрын

Outstanding work with this! My only critique is that I wish each level had their own complete track and they played one after the other, with the boss track only once at the beginning or end of the entire album or something. You don't need to play the boss track in between every track, though I understand you were following the sequence of the game. It just gets kind of annoying if you're listening to the whole thing having the boss track repeat every few minutes. Anyway great stuff and got a sub from me. I will be following and checking out more on your channel.

@@vgmusicrevisited8668 yeah! Many rpgs have incredible music. I know your primary focus is like mid 80s to mid 90s, but I'd personally recommend searching up the soundtrack of the 2000 game "Pokémon gold and silver", the sequel to 1995's Pokémon red and blue (you've already covered 2 tracks from red and blue), as it's one of the most renowned 8 bit soundtracks of all time, covering a variety of moods, even if you don't have plans to remake it.

Well I'm really fond of the Super CastleVania IV soundtrack. It has that special atmospheric mood & the instrument choices we're great for it's time. Plus, The SNES soundchip is top notch. I highly suggest that the Super CastleVania IV Orchestral Tribute be released in October, Since the SNES classic is still celebrating it's 30th anniversary. And do check out the trailer of the upcoming CastleVania Chronicles III fan game made by BMC WarMachine. So definitely check that out. Again, Thank you so much.
