This is possibly my favorite song you’ve got on the site.
This one has a lot going for it:
• it covers 2 great songs (some of the best of all NES music, in my opinion),
• it uses strings in a tastefully balanced way (not the overdone, overdramatic oh-god-we-have-to-make-everything-epic style), and
• it layers both songs over each other to create a hedonistic feast for the ears!
Oh, and the sound effects for “What a Horrible Night to have a Curse” is pure delight :)
Also, it’s nice to have something markedly different from the way more common metal guitar+drums mixes. I like them too, but I love the power in this simple but beautiful cover. Great job! :)

I first came across this song probably a year or two after you actually made it. I never knew where it came from except that I was certain it was the best Castlevania remix I’d heard to that point.
It still is. I’d love to hear your take on the now ubiquitous Bloody Tears from the same game.

I first discovered this track probably only a year or two after you made it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t until recently that I discovered you were due credit for its creation. I thought at the time it was the best Castlevania 2 I’d ever heard.
It still is. I’d love to hear your take on the now ubiquitous Bloody Tears.
