A good one, this CD. Now that the game is very popular, with the incredibly PlayStation´s Dracula X and the inminent launch of Dracula 64 (for the Nintendo64), this recopilation is a must have. For now, I saw 4 music CD´s dedicated to the saga, and this is one of them, with versions of the music of every Castlevania games. But the version isn´t orchestral, but a heavy stile that looks very good. Click below to hear a sample of track 2, a sample what anyone who has played to the SNES Castlevania IV will recognise like the 10th stage: the Clock Tower.Press here for hear the sample (26 seconds, RA format, 51 Kb).
This is the first Slayers´ CD that I have, but is quite good. The first and last track are a short monologues (are called Monologue of Lina I and II), and are a bit irritating. I never liked the dialogs in the CD (maybe because I don´t know japanese), but, at least, they are recorded at independent tracks, and not at the same track that a song (so, you always can skip them). There are only three vocals songs (very good ones), and the rest are instrumental (some songs recreates medieval scenes perfectly, like the 4th track, that appears to be in a animated market-place). If you look for a current anime CD, this is one of your objectives. The sample below is from the 2nd track, the Remix Version from the opening.
