wow. so cool! thanks <3 I like Castlevania

CASTLEVANIA !! Yeah, it's too cool :D ! You rock, Larzuk !! I'm crazy about Castlevania music XD ! I'm going to download a LOT of OSTs !! THANKS !!
PS : If you need some Castlevania's OST, I can help you. I've got a lot of them ! Because downloading on Rapidshare is long ( if you're not a premium user ... ) and hard, I can upload them on Megaupload, if you want !

Look seems good! =)
Continue! ;-)

your welcome everyone. Ive uploaded a few more OSTs as since my first post. Ive added...

Portrait of Ruin (the rip from the DS)
Haunted Castle OST
Curse of Darkness Sampler
Castlevania 20th Anniversary Collection
Konami Game Music Collection Volume 1

updating my first post.

"PS : If you need some Castlevania's OST, I can help you. I've got a lot of them ! Because downloading on Rapidshare is long ( if you're not a premium user ... ) and hard, I can upload them on Megaupload, if you want !" - Chernabogue54

If you really feel the need to then go ahead. Megaupload never worked for me though so thats why i use rapidshare. the only soundtrack i really need is the one for kid dracula. Though Id rather have the full soundtrack instead of just the tracks from that game, I guess I can upload just that part of the soundtrack.

Castlevania FTW!!1! Love those games and their music! I expect to download a whole bunch of these...thanks, dude!

Wow, thanks for sharing these with us Larzuk ;-)

Castlevania 20th Anniversary Collection !! =)

what I was trying to say in my previous post, i need the Konami Famicom Music Memorial Best Vol. 3 soundtrack. That has the Kid dracula and a few others in it. I have the Kid Dracula songs now just not the soundtrack. It isnt on the site so i guess if anyone has it they can upload it here.

Anyways uploading a couple more soundtracks.

Very, VERY nice! Thanks ^_^!!!

If you really feel the need to then go ahead. Megaupload never worked for me though so thats why i use rapidshare.

Larzuk, I would suggest trying something like Sendspace, or even ZShare for uploading your content. Although Sendspace has received mixed reviews (predominantly good, as far as I'm aware), I haven't really heard anything bad about ZShare. Give it a shot ^_^.

sendspace baleets files way too quickly :-(

And more to update! Just got done uploading...

Lament of Innocence Sampler
Konami Famicon Music Memorial Best Vol. 3
Castlevania Legends
Castlevania Legacy of Darkness (miniusf - need a plug in for winamp in order to play these.)
Castlevania Legacy of Darkness (mp3) - Sadly the quality is horrible, im trying to make it better right now. if its succesful i will reupload.

Right now, Im about to close the whole uploading process with my last Castlevania soundtrack for now, Castlevania Legacy of Darkness (mp3 version, which sadly has worse quality.)

----
Im done uploading for now. Until the official soundtrack comes out for PoR, have fun downloading and listening to some Castlevania music!!

Which are the best ones?

All of them! :cool:

Im currently trying to make the Legacy of Darkness mp3s better quality. Once I do ill just reupload it and switch it out with the one there.

If anyone has problems with Rapidshare ( like me -_-U ), I'm uploading some OSTs on Megaupload for help you !
I'm searching Kid Dracula OST too ...

Thankyou Larzuk. There are many people who appreciate this large collection :)

Alright, got some news for the Legacy of Darkness MP3s. I have them encoded at 320kbps and sound exactly like they do now as miniusf files. The only downfall to this is the fact thats since it is 332 files, its 2 gigs.

Some songs end way early then they should (ex: ends at 1:09 but keeps going till 3:09). That Example is making a 7.9mb song into a 1mb or less song. I got a program that will take the blank part out and save more space. So hopefully this will take a majority of the space off the total. This migh take me a few days though.

----

Need some opinions here, should I just go ahead a recode them to 128kbps or should I keep them at 320kbps? When I cut some of the songs that have so much empty time on it, it changes them to 128kbps.

Also there are some duplicates in this for some odd reason, so Ill save more space from that too. There are some sound effect files aswell, Ill delete those to. Who really wants to hear 6 seconds of electricity, heh? As for now, Im editing all the songs, deleteing duplicates, deleting sound effects, and adding a name to some files that are left as sparse. Some songs Ill leave as sparse since they are from cutscenese in the game and really dont have a name. its going to take a few days to complete so hang tight! Ill make sure its worth downloading!! :)

Sorry for the new post but I feel like I crammed enough info in the post above. Anyways, I decided that ill keep the songs at 320kbps, the edited ones will stay at 128kbps, reguardless of what I do.

As for what the point of this post is, I need some opinions. While going through all these tracks I noticed that some repeat themselves a couple times. Theyhave an early version (Ex) thats just a few seconds long or an extended version (Ex2) that can be up to a minute or two long because of all the files. The extended version I have found out is about 3-4 of these files combined to make a song, maybe from a movie or battle within the game.

Ex: sparse1 = 1 song, sparse2 = 1 song, sparse3 = 1 song, etc...
Ex2: sparse1 + sparse2 + sparse3 = sparse4

So this is where I need your opinion, should I just go with example one and have many files and having a longer time to download. Or I can go with example two that will have the many little files in one bigger file, saving download time and space. (After all, its 2 gigs with all 332 songs at 320kbps...)

As of right now if you go with example one, you will have 166 sparse files, all the small ones and big ones. If I go with example two, I can probably get the 166 down to 70 or so.

Yes these are great! Thank you!

Might I make a small request? What I’m looking for is plain and simple, the three original Castlevania soundtracks from the three NES games:

Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
Castlevania III: Draculas’s Curse

I’d kill to have those! Oh and by the way I’m totally aware of some of the tracks being scattered on the “Castlevania Dracula Best Selection” discs but I’m not really happy with those, they are remixed and have some weird echo effect and other sound effects to them that ruin it for me.

I’d greatly appreciate any help on getting the three original soundtracks to these games, much appreciated to anyone that can help!

- Derek

they arent remixed, they are just off the japanese version of the game. ill see what I can do for you though.

I've been looking for Castlevania Curse of Darkness complete CD and here it is. I thank you so much for posting this and share it with everyone!!!

Hey Larzuk, I think Simga62 has Kid Dracula OST because I saw
AKUMAJO BOKU DRACULA KUN/NES on his thread but he hasn't uploaded it :( ...

im going to go ahead and take the Legacy of Darkness files off. THey are pretty much no good right now since you either have to have a certain file to play them and arent burnable, or such poor quality that its not worth it.

Im still going through all the files for LoD, most are at 320kbps now and sound like they should.
Im about halfway done with that. So once Im done I will add the new version of it.

----

"Hey Larzuk, I think Simga62 has Kid Dracula OST because I saw
AKUMAJO BOKU DRACULA KUN/NES on his thread but he hasn't uploaded it..."

Yeah I know, to bad it isnt uploaded but then again I really dont want to put his soundtrack on mine. Id rather get the Konami Famicom Music Memorial Best Vol. 3 cd if possible. You know what i mean?

awesome music

Akumajo Dracula Best Vol. 2 has Castlevania 4 + two gameboy games.

As for the snes one, i was going for osts but ill look for those aswell.

Edit: OK Im uploading four requests now. Castlevania, Castlevania II, Castlevania III, and Dracula X (SNES)

"Might I make a small request? What I’m looking for is plain and simple, the three original Castlevania soundtracks from the three NES games:

Castlevania
Castlevania II: Simon’s Quest
Castlevania III: Draculas’s Curse

- Derek"

Ive uploaded the soundtracks now, Castlevania is more of a rip from Vampire Killer (the closest your going to get to the original). As for Castlevania III, it has mos tthe songs but not all.

Alright, got them uploaded and changed my first post. Changed it around abit to as it seemed to crammed up. Also made it easier to read!

Anyways, I added..

Castlevania/Vampire Killer - American version
Castlevania II - American version
Castlevania III - American version
Dracula X (SNES)

This thread may as well be called "Heaven", because that's what it is. Thanks SO much for the massive posting of "Castlevania" soundtrack material!

Heaven you say? Id put it in a sticky if I was able to, but no reason for that.

any contain the tracks from the snes super castlevania 4???

Akumajou Dracula Best Volume 2 contains Super Castlevania 4

Is Nocturne In The Moonlight the same as Symphony of The Night?

All right! I was looking for the soundtracks for the original NES games for quite a while... nice finds!

Is Nocturne In The Moonlight the same as Symphony of The Night?

Yes, it is the same thing. Thought the japanese name for it.

Your thread seems very good, now! =)
Also, for your requests, maybe you will find something who can interrest you on the Sigma62's VGM collection ;-)

Nice Music

Awesome thanks you for your time for uploading the castlevania soundtracks (which are the best).

Do you also have the "Super Castlevania IV" OST? If so could you upload that aswell please to completer the list of OST you have uploaded so far.

many thanks.

Yes, download Akumajou Dracula Best Volume 2

Oh! Thanks again!

Your welcome

well from what news ive heard and seen on the PoR soundtrack. im not going to like it to much but i will get it for all of you. 74 songs and all it is is PoR and its list is the same exact thing over two discs.

kinda like the castlevania chronicles ost, same music but slightly arranged...

Well, from what I gathered the second cd will not only slightly be rearranged but with high quality sampling as well. I mean, the composer always has to restrict herself and now she can just go all out. For comparison, listen to Hail from the Past from the DS rip files and then listen to the one included on the 20th anniversary disk. It feels like a world of difference to me, for a big part because those instruments are more pleasing to hear than beeps and boops(but thats just me, dont shoot me! :P)

If the difference is going to be like that for every file its more than worth it for me. I'd truly appreciate it if you could get your hands on this. Been looking all over the place but the cd is either sold out or... it just doesnt seem to exist. :(

It's released today, March 23th. Mindblast is right, Yamane wrote in her weblog that the other CD contains the high-quality songs, full-versions from the ones on http://www.konami.jp/gs/game/dracula_ds2/galleryof/sound.html.

ah well thats good to hear. sadly for todays date, its only released in japan. ill try and order it but it would take who knows how long to get it, then rip it.

Though if I go to play-asia.com. It says the release date is the 27th.

I can order it from the konami site you linked to I think, but I cannot read Japanese what so ever.

You can order it via the custom factory of Konami, but you need a Japanese ID, which is a hassle to do.

i just started playing castlevania 64 this week. thanks!

ohh @,@ lots of Castlevania music -dies and goes to heaven-

Alright, I just ordered the PoR OST through play-asia, so it will be a few days. Other then that, I just realized that my thread has a 5 star rating!

If it's not too much trouble, do you have tracklists? I must find more versions of Sinking Old Sanctuary.

Hmm Ill make some track lists sometime soon, as for now Ill list all the songs that are 'Sinking Old Sanctuary'. You will have to download the cds though.

CD / Track
Dracula X Rondo of Blood / 06 - The Sinking Old Sanctuary (Disc 2)
Dracula - Castlevania Circle of the Moon-Concerto of a Midnight Sun / 6_sinking_old_sanctuary
Castlevania Legacy of Darkness / Art Tower - Sinking Old Sanctuary (This is from the OST im currently making better. Uploading just this one song since you really want it. Yes I know its a long name for a link...) http://rapidshare.com/files/22575004/28_Castlevania__Legacy_of_Darkness_-_Art_Tower_-__The_Sinking_Old_Sanctuary_.mp3


There might be a remix version in LoD or CoD but I dont have the time right now to listen.

im uploading the PoR ost right now. gimme a few hours.

And now for the main event for now, here it is....!! and for those who cant understand Japanese, its the Portrait of Ruin ost!

Thanks to superDioplus from the CVG for uploading this for everyone!

You freaking pwn. _0_ Thanks to you, I can say goodbye to my sleep. =D

I call that one of the most cool OST I've already heard !! :) Good upload ;)

Could someone upload the PoR files to MegaUpload? The other two sites keep freezing my downloads on me halfway through. Thanks.

Thanks! i've been looking to almost all of the castlevania OST that you have from a long time!

BTW maybe i can help uploading some of the ost to megaupload

Why not Bit Torrent it instead download? Im hard time to download this kind of music.:P

I would bittorrent it. Its just my upload speed sucks and well 3 Gigs of Castlevania music will just kill my connection. Also Im behind a firewall and that wont let anyone else download if they have one aswell.

Rapidshare suck too. I have to fall in line too. It take me forever & ever.:(

ahh o.k its work all.
thx for your super work !!!

Ohh nice! Very good collection you have. Very nice!

Great collection so far... would you possibly have Super Castlevania IV as well?

All OSTs from the Castlevania series is there. Castlevania IV is under Akumajo Dracula Best Vol. 2, so download that one.

CAN YOU REUPLODE THIS http://rapidshare.com/files/14346637..._64_OST_. IS DEAD PLEASE

Reuploading....

and done
http://rapidshare.com/files/27703538/Akumajou_Dracula_Mokushiroku__Castlevania_64_OST_. rar

Will you please put these on Megaupload?

I'm tired of having to download only one a day.

Ive explained in numerous posts, I cant use megaupload and a few other services. It wont let me upload anything to them.

Damn...

I have the three Game Boy Castlevania soundtracks in 320. You probably already have them, but I can upload them if you want.

Indeed, I do have all Castlevania OSTs on here plus some that arent on cds. You can upload those if you really want to.

Who here thinks that Michiru Yamane should get the Legend Award at the next G-Phoria?

I sure do!

All OSTs from the Castlevania series is there. Castlevania IV is under Akumajo Dracula Best Vol. 2, so download that one.

Ohhhh... OK, i didn't know that. My bad.

Your Portrait of Ruin collection is missing Crucifix Held Close

If you mean the official soundtrack, I wil have to reupload it tomorrow. Some songs decided to become missing because it goes past the character limit for some reason. Even though it didnt say that before and it used to be in it.

Hey Larzuk. I've assembled a couple of two-disc compilations full of Castlevania music.

I've put in several classics, like Aquarius, Clockwork Mansion, Dance of Illusions, Blood Relations, Black Banquet, Wicked Child, and some tracks from Harmony of Dissonance: Successor of Fate, Offense and Defense, VK2K2, and the arranged version of Chapel of Dissonance.

As for the classic trilogy of themes, here's the versions I've used:

Vampire Killer (Chronicles)
Bloody Tears (Castlevania IV)
Beginning (Vampire's Kiss) (Personally, I liked the SNES version better than Rondo's.)

Also, there's several renditions of Theme of Simon: the original version from CV4, Sota Fujimori's arrangement from Chronicles, the arranged 2007 version from Portrait of Ruin and Michiru Yamane's remix from the Rondo of Blood/Bloodlines CD.

Plus, both compilations are packed with several tracks from what I think is one of the best soundtracks in the series: Lament of Innocence. Included are Dark Night Toccata, Lament of Innocence, House of Sacred Remains, Melancholy Joachim, Castlevania Reincarnation, and more.

I'll send a full track list soon.

I figure this is as good a place as any for my first post on this forum.

I was wondering if there was any update on the Legacy of Darkness OST? I know you said you were cleaning it up. I do have a low quality version as it is, I was wondering if you needed or wanted it? For reference, maybe?

Also, thank you for putting all of these up. I truly do appreciate the work.

"I was wondering if there was any update on the Legacy of Darkness OST? I know you said you were cleaning it up. I do have a low quality version as it is, I was wondering if you needed or wanted it? For reference, maybe?" - Galen

I already have it but im slowly working on it. Personal life comes first sadly so i dont have all the time in the world anymore. Ill try to find time to work on it some more.

man u r so generous, thanks!

Why Rapidshit? >_<

ive explained that a few times...

And allow me to say thank you again for these albums. These really made my day. Week. Longer time period than that.

THANKS!

sweet. Thanks ^^

Request... Though it may be hard.
Remember the Dawn of Sorrow trailer that played an arranged Demon Castle Pinnacle? Any chance of it being found? I'm just hoping that Dawn of Sorrow got the same treatment as Portrait of Ruin as far as having an arranged version of the OST.

Thank you so much, Super Castlevania IV has been a soundtrack I have been looking for for so long. You have put alot of work into this, and I thank you for that.

Sorry, maybe it's just a stupid question, but Media Player get an error while trying to play the "Circle of the Moon & Concerto of Midnight Sun". Do i need any plugins, or they're screwed up (or maybe my Media Player) someway?

Btw, much thanks for the soundtracks, i really wanted those. Maybe you can check out this site, they got quite a lot of info and media there:

Luck, and thanks again.

gracias loco eres mi salvador, thanks, you r a castlemaniac

10: Vampire Killer (all)
What better way to start than with THE theme that started it all? Since its debut in 1986, the classic Vampire Killer theme became a constant presence in many of the series' soundtracks. Some of the best remixes are from Chronicles, Rondo of Blood (and Vampire's Kiss), CV4, Dawn of Sorrow, and the ending theme of Lament of Innocence...

9: Admiration Towards the Clan
Great piece by Michiru Yamane, and as a bonus, we're even given a quote from Vampire Killer. The piece, like its title says, expresses the beginning of the Belmont Clan's fight against Dracula. Great ending theme overall.

8: Crucifix Held Close
Going way back to Haunted Castle, Michiru Yamane plucked this classic Stage 1 theme from its grave and gave it a 21st century makeover, resulting in one of Portrait of Ruin's best themes overall.

7: Crucifix of Fate
When Aria of Sorrow was first unveiled, I was in shock. Dracula's gone from the face of the earth? Then, I played it and realized that despite his demise, some people are still intent on reviving the Dark Lord. Enter Soma Cruz, the protagonist and reincarnation of Dracula. After being teleported to the castle, which was sealed in the solar eclipse, he's aided by a mysterious man, Genya Arikado, who tells him of his power to use the abilities of his defeated foes. From then on, Soma fights through the castle to uncover the mystery. As for the theme, it's another excellent Entrance theme in the series, and it's even better on the Lament of Innocence CD.

6: Heart of Fire (Aria of Sorrow)
After nearly two hundred years of waiting, the Belmont Clan finally took charge and destroyed Dracula. Julius Belmont was responsible, but the battle resulted in him suffering from amnesia. After coming to Dracula's Castle, his memories come rushing back to him. Having learned of Soma's identity, they battle. Taking two great themes ("Don't Wait Until Night" from Haunted Castle and "Heart of Fire" from the original Castlevania) and melding them together resulted in one of the series' best battle themes.

5: Iron Blue Intention (Portrait of Ruin)
This sweet Stage 4 gem from Bloodlines was brought back into the fold in Portrait of Ruin. Easily one of Yamane's favorite pieces (I think), she took what she had before and made it more expressive and more memorable. It makes you want to wander around 13th Street just humming along to this.

4: Clockwork (Circle of the Moon)
Circle of the Moon's soundtrack was really heavy on old themes, but composer Sotaro Tojima made them worth listening to again. Taking the classic Clockwork theme from Dracula's Curse, Tojima worked to make it better than ever.

3: Invitation of a Crazed Moon
Along with Michiru Yamane, Yuzo Koshiro contributed to Portrait of Ruin's soundtrack. And he kicked us off with this brilliant and memorable Castle Entrance theme. Granted, almost all the introductionary themes have been great, but this is definitely one of the better ones.

2: Lament of Innocence
Just as Yamane says during the sound test, it's a piece that expresses Leon's grief and anger. And what better place to put it than just before the final battle with Walter and Death? Easily a classic Castlevania theme, and one of the best and most beloved around.

AND NUMBER ONE:

Theme of Simon Belmont
Come on: you knew this was coming. When Super Castlevania IV was released on the Super NES, composer Sotaro Tojima, who also worked on the sound design for the Metal Gear Solid series, showed gamers what the SNES was capable of in terms of audio. Taking full advantage of the SNES' sound capabilities, Tojima gave us a soundtrack that bordered on gothic and macabre, yet intense and satisfying. But one theme stands alone: Simon Belmont's theme. From then on, Simon's Theme was rearranged for Castlevania Chronicles (Akumajo Dracula X68000), and then for Castlevania Bloodlines and Portrait of Ruin. Sure, there were a lot of great themes from CV4, but Simon's Theme is, without a doubt, my favorite Castlevania theme of all time.






You had NO idea how hard it was to pick my all-time faves.

What!!! there is marvelous.. its a great collection, the castlevania's games are ones of my favorites.. THANK YOU!!!

Hey Larzurk, I love this thread. I'm a big fan of Castlevania Music.

The Disk 2 of Castlevania Chronicles OST is down (http://rapidshare.com/files/14548122/Castlevania_Chronicles__disk_two_.rar). Could you reupload it?

By the way, I see that some of you are asking for the Dracula X Chronicles OST. Isn' it posted in the forum? If not, check here:

http://www.persona-world.net/cve/index.php

I got a ripped version of it there. If needed, I could upload it but I don't think that'll be necessary. Let me know if it's needed.

I ripped the Dracula X Chronicles, just search in the Download Links.

http://mx.youtube.com/watch?v=YbuZlgsavw8

Happy New Year.

and the "choise a path" when you choise a way.

http://mx.youtube.com/watch?v=PTo0aS7MsEw&feature=related

Can someone tell me on which console Gallery of Labyrinth was on? I never heard of it.

Gallery of Labyrinth is the alternate name for Portrait of Ruin, much like how Cross of the Blue Moon is Dawn of Sorrow, Concerto of the Midnight Sun is Harmony of Dissonance, Nocturne in the Moonlight is Symphony of the Night, and Minuet of Dawn of Aria of Sorrow.

Gotcha. Thanks.

Have someone from the cheese castlevania 64 legacy of darkness complete?

Thank you for posting the Potrait of Ruin gamerip, my friend loves it!

Wow, that's a lot of Castlevania soundtracks. =P

My favourite has to be Symphony of the Night. An amazing soundtrack to a truly amazing game. Thanks for the links anyway!

Thanks For the upload��

I am a Big fan of castlevania series and thanks to you and your source i been able to enjoyed those albums. Just a question , do you know if does exist any arranged music of dawn of sorrow?, if you check the trailer on you tube you realize that the music is different and also better, i think that exist because someone here in the forum have posted some link of d.s ost with two disk, saddly that link doesnt exist now. Thanks for your time reading
Cheers from Argentina

The "castlevania: curse of darkness" links can't be open? can you reupload them again.... Thanks..sorry for my english

The "castlevania: curse of darkness" links can't be open? can you reupload them again.... Thanks..sorry for my english

The links works just fine from my end. Also the soundtracks can be downloaded still.

hey, larzuk, first of all, kudos for your rips, they are awesome, yet, i was wondering, i dont remember seeing the OST from Harmonny of dissonance, is there any chance you might have that one?, and if not, do you have in one of the compilations the "succesor of fate" song? (ny the way, not the one in 20 annyversary, i allready have that one, i was hoping that the original might be somewere....

It is there. Remember: Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance = Dracula Concerto of a Midnight Sun

Oh yeah!, you are right, thanks man!

Aria/Dawn of Sorrow OST. Is this game rip or OST?

It's a Gamerip, at least Aria of Sorrow. However, why do people ask those questions? You guys should be happy someone provides the music of those games and not whine. Especially if these games have no OSTs. Not that those two have none, but a lot of haven't ones... <_<

Whoever I am, myes. If you wanted to ask only Larzuk - why not send him a PM? Then some random people like me would not pop in and make you feel uncomfortable with their oppinions that people should be happy with what they have and not demand the impossible. :|

Aria/Dawn of Sorrow OST. Is this game rip or OST?

It is the real ost.

Downloaded Circle of the Moon / Harmony of Dissonance OST for myself. Forgot how much I enjoyed those games. Much thanks!

Hey, is it possible, Larzuk, for you to re-upload the Midi Power Pro 6 Dracula X album? It keeps telling me that the file is not found.

Here you go... http://rapidshare.com/files/108981108/MIDI_Power_Pro_6_Dracula_X.rar

Thanks, much. This may be the only album I haven't heard, amazingly enough.

I have LoI , CoD , SotN CDs at home so can rip lossless if anyone wants, but yeah was curious if anyone owned the cds for Circle of the Moon / Harmony of Dissonance or the Portrait of ruin cd because I'm after lossless versions of them :-) Its not easy to find

I hadn't known actual cd's were made for those soundtracks, but I did have rips, for both of the games. Wonderful music, particularly with HoD. Portrait of Ruin, I know they came out with an album for that. That was excellent music as well, but I've only a rip.

First of all: Dude! you saved my ass, I was desperatedly looking for Castlevania's OSTs and here they are. I've been trying to complete my collection since 1998 I guess, this is the best thing that could've happened.

Seccond of all, I would like to know which of these are official releases. There are some rips there and I think they're not sold as OSTs, am I right? I just wanted to know which releases I could actually buy from stores. Some things I like to have as "Originals" :P

And last, is there any webpage I could use as reference for labelling all the OSTs I haven't got phisically yet? like... where to see if I'm labelling the songs correctly according to the original release etc...

Thanks again for this contribution, you REALLY saved my ass dude.

Thank you very much!! This is a gold mine :D.

Damn!!!! someone beat me up on doing this thread!!!! :-D
I want to do the same!!!
CASTLEVANIA RULLES...
I love the songs of castlevania.!!!
I have Castlevania Resurection OST.... the one game it was going to Dreamcast but konami cancel de release..... so everyone fan had a art that died within us......

Great stuff. Thanks alot

i'd like to download this, but before i do i'd like to know if the SNES game, Bram Stoker's Dracula is included. i do see Dracula X for SNES, but i don't think Dracula X and Bram Stoker's Dracula are the same game

I just have to bump this thread just because of its sheer awesomeness. Thanks again, Larzuk. You RAWK.

thx a ton

I would like to request the Castlevania 64 soundtrack with correct tags. I currently have them downloaded in .wma with Japanese tags that I can't read (thanks Izan*). If you could submit them as mp3 files, that'd be great. Thanks in advance.

*thick sarcasm here

A question for Larzuk.

How come alot of the tracks for Lament of Innocence and Curse Of Darkness are lower than 256kbps when you say that they're all 256-320kbps?

no Castlevania Symphony of the Night?

I own them so when pc is up i can upload the flac versions but pc at home is dead and have to wait til next month as moving place this weekend.. unless someone else can do it also :)

Thank you, from a long time Castlevania fan!

Nice Up!

Thank you!

great! thanks!

Sorry for being late... but here is a lossless rip of SotN ;)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6N86OADS

Sorry for being late... but here is a lossless rip of SotN ;)

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=6N86OADS

Hey bakabakabaka, is this an EAC rip of your own or did you find this elsewhere online?

Thanks for the lossless link anyway, I'll check it out tomorrow. :)

I ripped it myself last night and just used MU to upload it while I was sleeping.. but the tag was using japanese.. I have some japanese soundtracks at home.. sometimes the winamp tagging stuffs up... Yeah i own it and a few others :-) I ripped it myself using soundforge to wav and then use Flac :) I have gallery of labyrinth FLAC but from a friend, but the others I all own :)

I threw in some extra songs I found online like the shop theme and black disc song

I'm uploading curse of darkness at the moment as I can't find my older flac rip i did before somewhere online.. hmm doh ! anyway should be up later on

Hey, coolness. Lossless music. Downloading the NITM/SOTN score. Not sure why though considering I have a far more complete soundtrack of it. My brother found some waves of the music files copied from the PSX disc several years back, because we were unhappy with how the official OST cuts songs short before they can loop properly. (Some songs have extended/alternate endings when they play through a second time.)

Unfortunately I don't think he has the files anymore, but before getting rid of them he did burn a two-disc set, one for himself and one for me. I've since ripped those two CDs to VBR 192kbps AACs (.m4a), so technically I don't know if the sound quality should be good considering all the conversions, but it sounds all right to my ears. I could upload these if anyone's interested. They include the Japanese vocal version of "Nocturne" (splendid rendition of "Lost Painting", my favorite song in the game) as well as a weird little number I've never heard in the game before called "Silence". It's just a few seconds, but it's kind of unsettling and really cool. The remix of "Dracula's Castle" (the tune you hear when putting the PSX disc in a CD player) is on at the end as a bonus track of sorts.

Which CDs do you own, bakabakabaka? Just curious 'cos I really would like higher quality rips (192+, perhaps even lossless) of certain CDs, like the two Perfect Selection Dracula Battle albums, the second disc of the original Rondo of Blood OST (which contains the score for Bloodlines), Perfect Selection Dracula New Classic, the COTM/HOD and AOS/DOS double-disc OSTs, Akumajo Dracula MIDI Collection, Akumajo Dracula Music Collection (that compilation that came with NITM and SOTN pre-orders), the two MIDI Power albums, and if anyone's got it (has it been released? I think it came as a bundle), the full Order of Ecclesia OST. That's a lot of stuff to ask for, and I apologize, but it would be great if anyone who actually owns the CDs could make high quality rips of them, or if you've download consistently good high quality rips that works also. I'd buy this stuff if it were easily obtainable! (Actually, the COTM/HOD and AOS/DOS CDs are, but they sound like garbage and I have no intention on buying them. Homemade game rips sound better.)

I've got a few OSTs that I own and could upload them if anyone's interested. They're all VBR 192kbps AACs encoded with iTunes, and they suit me fine. Here's what I've got:

Akumajo Dracula Best (Castlevania I-III)
Akumajo Dracula Best 2 (Castlevania IV, Adventure, Belmont's Revenge)
Castlevania Chronicle Akumajo Dracula Original Soundtrack
Castlevania Original Soundtrack (Lament of Innocence)
Akumajo Dracula &mdash;Yami no juin&mdash; Original Soundtrack (Curse of Darkness)
Castlevania 20th Anniversary Deluxe Music Collection (POR pre-order CD)
Akumajo Dracula X Chronicle Original Soundtrack

With the OST for Castlevania 64 on the way (unless the place I ordered from doesn't actually have it in stock).

I try to make the ID3 tags really good and non-messy. With the DXC OST (which just came in the mail this morning), I even included the kanji (since it was already there, ha ha), with the English translations in parentheses. I'm tempted to go back to the other OSTs and do this with the tags, but I'm not sure I will since I can't read Japanese anyway (which really sucks 'cos I can't read any of the song commentaries in the booklets), but it's kind of cool to see the kanji for DXC on my iPod.

And if you guys are looking for scans of the album artwork, there's some stuff here (http://castlevania.free.fr/v2006/son/albums.php5?konami=1&onlyC=1).

Hoo boy, big post!

Oh, also, to the original poster: How come on the Portrait of Ruin/Gallery of Labyrinth OST, all the files are 192kbps EXCEPT both CDs' versions of "Cross Your Heart" (or whatever it's titled on the OST), which are 128? That's really weird.

Hes probably talking about the games xa audio :) I ripped it once, tho its in .mpc foprmat tho at braindead setting .. I still have it somewhere. SOunds great tho original xa audio was like 37.8Khz but yeah sounds cool and yeah they do loop twice.. I will upload them also now for it.. Just get a mpc plugin for winamp to play it :) (At the time i liked mpeg plus so I only have it in mpc :( ) , still works in winamp fine tho with plugin :D I'm sure you can change it to mp3 somehow.


I'm after perfect battle 1 and 2 lossless also :P and COTM/HOD and AOS/DOS CD (cross of the blue moon and minuet of dawn osts ) too.. Wish someone had em in lossless :P

Perfect battle 1 and 2 i have in vbr, dracula new classic, gallery of labyrinth (Por) in lossless.

and the ones u have I own also like loi, sotn , cod , dracula x

I can't wait for OoE as its like gallery of labyrinth where they have original game audio and also arranged :) will be cool

Here is cross your heart.. Belmonts theme from Gallery of Labyrinth you said you had poor quality... These are both lossless :P http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S8G6I5BR

and arranged http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U1XGD175

I'll probably be buying the COTM/HOD and AOS/DOS CDs soon. Unfortunately, the AOS recording is downright dreadful (the game rips at The Castlevania Dungeon are about a thousand times better, and I hate Konami for releasing such a cruddy product), and with COTM comes a good deal of hissing. HOD sounds pretty good, though, aside from the slightly lousy equipment used to make the music. ;)

If I get those CDs, I'll seeeeeee what I can do about uploading them lossless, though they'd likely be Apple Lossless and not FLAC, but my upload speed is terrible so it may not even happen. Best I'd be able to do is 192 VBR.

Did anyone get the soundtrack CD for Order of Ecclesia? I pre-ordered mine for that specific purpose, but it didn't come in the mail with my game. I'm livid! But if someone did manage to get it and would post it here, that'd be awesome.

If you mean the North American pre-order disc, it's only like five or six songs. As far as I know, the full OST was only released as a highly expensive bundle with the game.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G3067REA
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KW8ONN10

Curse of Darkness Lossless if anyones wants it.

Abnormal Freak, yeah it would be cool to get the lossless versions.. I know some of the rips have hissing as with the 20th anniversary songs i have in lossless , some are quite hissy like sign of blood pulse and vision of dark secrets, but yeah good songs from cotm :)

I really am after perfetct battle 1 and 2 lossless as it OWNS ! big time :P :):)

About the preorder, there is a OoE sampler online if you look hard enough for it or another thread here :)

Also here is the .mpc rip of the games .xa audio you were talking about Abnormal Freak from sotn which loop so enjoy.. Get mpc (musepack - mpeg plus) plugin for winamp to listen as I didn't do it in mp3 at the time :(

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=U5BEWVJ2 ~ 218mb

Cooooool. Thank you.

I ordered the OSTs for COTM/HOD, AOS/DOS, and POR. The last one has already been posted here in good quality, so no need for that, but I'll for sure make 192kbps AAC rips of the first two albums. Again, if I WERE to do lossless (really not sure right now, 'cos again, it would take me forever to upload, but we'll see), it's going to be Apple Lossless, so lemme know if that's a problem or not.

Yeah its good to get a good rip of OoE :P Lossless would be the best, but can't be greedy now , but thankful :D :D if you do lossless, anytime when you are free.. no pressure ^_^ ALAC (Apple Lossless) is fine.. Works fine in winamp with the right plugin ;)

Look forward to your releases :P Happy the OoE OST was released here :P

what about castlevania vampire�s kiss on snes?

Hi bakabakabaka! Thank you for your attention. I 've been investigating, but the Flac version of this beautiful OST seem to be neither in this thread nor elsewhere. Except in FLAC-LOSSLESS Thread, of course, but I'm afraid the relative links are expired definitively. Therefore, I can't wait to see a new link of yours! Thank you again and if I had to find Perfect Selection Dracula Osts, I'll tell you.

I wont be home until sat/sun but yeah I will upload it then ..Its only tuesday i know.. but yeah Im not at home lately.. But when I do get home I will upload it straight away.. assuming no one else does first :).. PM on friday or so to remind me and i'll do that ok :)

Hi, dear friend! Kindness aside, I noticed you've anticipated the upload I requested to you. I really appreciate it! Thank you again for sharing another FLAC-gem coming from Castlevania universe.

Can someone reupload?

Hey Larzuk, I ripped the Castlevania Order of Shadows (Mobile) music, here's a link with all the files. If by any chance the link is dead by the time you see it, message me and I'll send it to you. It's best if you keep it in your account because I don't have any which can last long enough.

bakabakabaka, very nice OSTs.
Can you upload scans for POR official and pre-order soundtracks?
In high resolution, if it's possible. As I know these booklets have many arts from cv-games.

Here's the Castlevania Order of Shadows (Mobile) music rip again. I hope this link stays up longer.

*LINK REMOVED*

I uploaded an updated version of the Castlevania Order of Shadows (Mobile) music rip. This time the tracks have the actual official names straight from the music composer.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=H6BGXBZY

The composer also sent me his original compositions (before they got down-sampled for the phones), but by his request, I can't distribute them because they are/were supposed to be used for the official soundtrack.

Good work and its nice to hear this might be getting a soundtrack release.

thanks man

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but could you, Larzuk, redo the Castlevania Legends tracks? Their missing a sound channel that really affects the tunes. If you need proof, follow this link to hear it yourself.

nice 1!! I owe you really really big time for that!!

Amazing thread, really impressing!


out of curiosity, would anybody happen to have the Castlevania 64 OST in FLAC quality?

Amazing thread, really impressing!


out of curiosity, would anybody happen to have the Castlevania 64 OST in FLAC quality?

As an addition, do we have any that are in lossless (FLAC, WAV or APE) quality?

AH!! I finally got my hands on the ost for Castlevania 64. Thank you so much hon


real quick question and I would be really grateful if anyone can help me out. I don't have the game anymore so I thought I would ask here. Does anyone know the song in C64 where you die and the girl in the background is playing the violin? Its been bothering me forever now.

Credit goes to RedFox for snagging this.

It's the Dracula X Remixies Konami Game Music Remix Series Vol.1, which remixes SOTN tracks.

And yes, it's spelt 'remixies'.

This is the best thread in the universe. I've been looking all over for most Castlevania OST's in lossless format. Thanks a million, guys, you absolutely rock.

EDIT: By the way, does anyone have the unreleased tracks from Symphony of the Night? The ones that were in the Saturn version of the game, if not in FLAC, then 320 would be awesome, this is the list of the songs:

UNRELEASED SYMPHONY OF THE NIGHT SONGS (SATURN)--
Master Librarian
Chaconne c.moll
Vampire Killer (Rock)
Vampire Killer (Techno/Goth)
Beginning (Techno Goth
Beginning (Jazz)
Bloody Tears (Hard Rock 1)
Bloody Tears (Hard Rock 2)
Guardian

Thanks for any help.

I desperately need to find the Dracula Battle - Perfect Selection albums in 320kbps (OR a lossless format would be EVEN BETTER) any chance anyone can help me out with this? I'd definitely appreciate it.

Thank you!! Been looking for this.

Thanks for the Pachi-Slot soundtrack. It's the only one I am missing.

Guys does anyone have the Portrait of Ruin OST in FLAC? Or at least 320?

Thanks!

Request time!

I downloaded the OST to Casltevania Judgement some time ago, but I doubt it was the best quality, since, for whatever reason, Dance of Illusions lacks the chior. Is this a widespread issue on the OST, or a problem with my download?

I went back a couple posts and read someone had the actual Portrait of Ruin OST, any chance that person could rip it in FLAC, you'd probably be the first person on the internet to post it since it's literally nowhere to be found in such quality.

BTW, does anyone have Legacy of Darkness in anything but 128?

Sorry if I seem picky, it's just that I'm kind of a sound quality freak and I live in Costa Rica, so actually buying the soundtrack is rather difficult for me (I envy you guys)

Well, it is apparently a problem related to the OST itself. I was checking up the soundtrack that I have (Gotten elsewhere) and well, it does lack the choir too.

curse of darkness has 50+ songs, and other thread says 36

Thread 58470

, so is your version OST plus rips not in OST?

curse of darkness has 50+ songs, and other thread says 36


36 tracks in Limited Sampler only.)) Normal OST has >50.

.........AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering is there a soundtrack for castlevania the arcade. Or does anyone have music from it.

Hey Larzuk, any chance for a reupload of the Portrait of Ruin "Bass Version" soundtrack.

Great collection, just amazing :)

I"m looking for one particular version of Bloody Tears but I'm not sure if it's a Konami remix or if it was done elsewhere...

It sounds sort of slow but the actual part sounds like dings, I know this probably does not help, but a friend found it on Morpheus years and years and years ago. I was tying to get music off of my CD's and the CD is so jacked up it won't even let me extract the file... me=sad because that's my favorite version ever.

Sweet, I just heard about Pachislot and wanted to
check out the tracks. Thanks a lot.

I just downloaded this archive and it says "24 stage 2A bonus.mp3" is corrupt. Any way we could get a re-upload?

Thanks for all of this. I love castlevania and it's music.

You know what I'm trying to figure out? I can't find a SoTN album anywhere. The one I have is a really mediocre rip. Anyone else find something better? Like Awakening ends up cutting off into Tragic Prince.
