Topic: Best Castlevania Music

@DrD - use the Quote feature on any of my (or anyone else's who embedded a youtube video) posts and look at the formatting--it's quite simple. use square brackets, and inside square brackets write youtube:VwRnJIzNXFQ (using your second link as an example) so yeah, [, then the youtube:whateverthecodeis, then ], and you're good to go. But still--try quoting a post and just changing the letters at the end so you get it right the first time.

I'm amazed to see so little of Castlevania III in this thread; for me, that game's music bests the rest of the series combined. It might be a matter of different tastes... I find most guitar-driven soundtracks to be corny but love a classical sound.

Anyhow, whoever scored CV-III was remarkably skilled with counterpoint; here's Clockwork, one of the best examples.

Also, here's a little medley of CV-III music, the way it should be heard.

Been listening to Castlevania music again and like Dracula coming back from the dead I am reviving this thread. I found this guys videos were I guess he what, "remasters" Castlevania music and it sounded pretty cool. Here is but a sample from Super Castlevania IV Pillared Corridor.
