Nice one! Thanks!!!

Epic ! Thanks !

Thanks you! Castlevania Music is always great pleasure!

Thanks!!!

Seems to be only music from the DS games. Here's a list of the some of names of the song remixes as well as what games they're from:

BGM_1_1.xwb: Aria of Sorrow - Castle Corridor
BGM_1_2.xwb: Dawn of Sorrow - After Confession
BGM_1_3.xwb: ???
BGM_1_B1.xwb: Dawn of Sorrow - Boss Theme 1

Thanks! Nice soundtrack, except for the rubbish "Illusionary Dance" from Dracula X Chronicles (BGM_3_B3.xwb.xma)

Thanks for sharing it! Freakin' awesome soundtrack!

Win! I love how it came up so fast...

Thank you very much!

I think the 1_3 track is a remix of "Condemned Tower" from DoS. ;)

I'd be happy if they had arrange "Banquet of Madness" but the soundtrack is really good! A must have for every Castlevania fan!

Can someone rehost this? It's missing from the link provided in the OP.

Edit: Nevermind. I think MU site just had a kink for a second.

It says the file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable. I've been trying for 10 minutes now and still the same message.

Great Soundtrack, thanks a lot.

A billion thanks, dude.

Thumbs up, thnx for the share

Extremely glad you decided to share this. Thank you for your time.

I was going to search for this today, but then I found this thread. Can never get enough of Castlevania music! Thanks to the uploader! :)

can someone write down a tracklist please?

can someone write down a tracklist please?
There's a Sound option in the game where you can set which music plays in which stage. I'll get the names from there.

EDIT: here you go, adding the files to Winamp in alphabetical order:

01 - ??? (title screen song)
02 - Ruined Castle Corridor
03 - After Confession
04 - PHANTOM OF FEAR
05 - Into the Dark Night
06 - Piercing Battle Fury
07 - ??? (main menu theme)
08 - Tanz mit einem Clown
09 - Hail from the Past
10 - Gaze Up at the Darkness
11 - Piercing Silence
12 - Esquisse of Violence
13 - ??? (multiplayer menu)
14 - CRIMSON BLOOD
15 - Ebony Wings
16 - The Colossus
17 - Symphony of Battle
18 - Order of the Demon
19 - Dance of Illusions
20 - Ein Weltherrscher
21 - ??? (options menu)
22 - ??? (win theme)
23 to 29 - ???

Tracks labeled with "???" don't appear in the Sound menu, so I don't know their names for sure.

I was going through these in Audacity to give them proper loops and fadeouts, and I noticed 2_2 doesn't seem to have a proper loop point. It has an instrumental part at the end that matches up with one in the beginning, but when the electronic drums and bass come in at the end, there's a snare drum, but in the beginning, that snare drum isn't there, and it sounds weird doing a jump cut from having the snare to not having the snare. Is that the way it was in the game?

Oh it's a freakin' awesome idea.
But I can't help you for your request, sorry :/

thanx so much man! now i can rename them!

Awesome Thank's man for upload and thank's urameshi for tracklist

Thank you.

are you ready for the remix? i know i am. thanks!

Thanks you!

@ Thanks to jose1987 for the Upload
@ Thanks to Urameshi for the Tracklist

Thank.... YOU!!! Wasn't really into the Castlevania series, but am getting the feel for it :D

Pretty awesome soundtrack!

And since I haven't played the game, can anyone tell me that is there any music information(composer and arranger) in the staff roll?

If anyone is interested I renamed the tracks accordingly, added artist and album name, and even added my own Album art cover that I made myself in Photoshop. I wish I knew the actual Artist's name, I just went with "Konami" seeing how its true. http://img230.imageshack.us/f/castlevaniahdcover.png/

Say Thanks if you download it :)

Actually, I'm hoping for extended versions of this rip

I second this. Another loop per track would be delicious.

do you know composer and arranger of the tracks?

Nice job! I have one question though... how did you convert the .xwb files? No matter what I do to separate them into their component wav files, I still end up with nothing but incoherent static.

I'm trying to rip the voices, specifically.

Thanks!

No problem guys, I'd even do that multiple loop thing if I wasn't soo busy at the moment :) make sure to tell me if the links go dead or something.

Thank you to this threat (OP and other contributors) I love this music! <3

Thank you this is awesome if you get chance to do a Looped version that would be fantastic

thanks for the effort everyoen put into this. I'm really eager to hear how this one came out.

I've grabbed the rip off youtube :P (it's looped twice with fadeout), tagged it, added proper artist names, made a tracklist. Here it is!

Thanks again! But missing the own created Album Cover!

It's there. If using Windows, Tools-Folder Options-View-Show hidden files. It's hidden for being cover art, but if you play it on a media player or mp3 player like iPod it'll show up.

who is the artist of the album?

who is the artist of the album?
Believe it or not, I went over my friend's house (he has the game not me) and he beat it and I saw the credits, and in the music artists line it had 7 peoples' names, and it was only on the screen for 4 seconds so I didnt get a good look at any of the names :( maybe next time, someone needs to upload the credit sequence.

No, it should work... Try again and if it doesn't work then, tell me. :)

excellent post... beautiful work.. thanks a mill on this one

tnx so much

Much appreciated!

the music is cut :(

how was this Ripped?, I tried like 5 different Xwb Extracters and they all didn't work. Can someone help out with this?

Thank you

If anyone gets their hands on the new music DLC would it be possible to add the rip to this one?

I'd like to throw my coin in the hat for the new tracks as well.

- "Pitiful Scion" (aka Tragic Prince/Young Nobleman of Sadness from Symphony of the Night)
- "Pitch Black Intrusion" (Lost Village/main theme from Dawn of Sorrow)
- "Invitation of a Crazed Moon" (entrance hall theme from Portrait of Ruin)
- "The Hidden Curse" (forest theme from Portrait)
- "An Empty Tome" (main theme from Order or Ecclesia)

These are all great selections. I can't wait!

Thanks Sectus. Now, I have a question. The rip that is looped from YouTube... is not loud enough. I turn the volume up at max and I can only hear so little. Is there a rip with better quality and higher volume? I'd look... but I'm lazy atm. XD Thanks.

Hey, I found the highest quality rip I've ever seen of the game's music in YouTube!

YouTube - foray4a's Channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/foray4a)

Now to see if I can rip them later. Don't worry, I'll do the best I can.

EDIT: Nevermind... same old place where the original rip of YouTube was found. :(

Hi, thanks for sharing, this is great!

Yeah, thanks if I haven't given them. Just wish the YouTube rips were of higher volume though. They sound fine on my laptop, but pop them in my iPod and you only hear so little.

Oh sweet. THANKS!

These new DLCs sounded like Yasushi Asada's arrangements for Castlevania Judgment. Maybe he is the arranger of these?

I finally found the arrangers' name from credits screen,it's written like this:

SOUND PRODUCER AND DIRECTOR
Nobuhiko Matsufuji,Yasuhiro Ichihashi

MUSICIANS:
Tomoaki Hirono,Norikazu Miura,Atsushi Sato,Nobuyuki Akena,Yasuhisa Ito,Sota Fujimori,Yasuhiro Ichihashi,Toshihisa Furusawa


Which of the we have have to use as arranger???

Thank you for this!

Can anyone upload it again please? :(

Well, I would say definitely the "Musicians" section, as a producer and director has mostly nothing to do with composing/arranging. But I'm really surprised by so many names, especially Norikazu Miura and Sota Fujimori's appearances. But I'm also surprised that there is no mention of Yasushi Asada (from Castlevania Judgment), because many of the themes sound really similar to this work there... hmmm

But I'm also surprised that there is no mention of Yasushi Asada (from Castlevania Judgment), because many of the themes sound really similar to this work there... hmmm

I totally agree with that, mostly the recent DLC musics sounded identical to CV:Judgment's arrangement style to me also. I was nearly sure about Yasushi Asada was in the team.
The question is, did they mention arranger as "Sound Producer and Director"(Cuz Yasuhiro Ichihashi is a highly composer and arranger) or musicians just didn't play instruments and made arranges? That's why i asked this question.

It was not by my hand that this topic is once again given life.

DLC music pack 2 is coming out tomorrow. And the OST has been announced.

MUSIC PACK 2 OUT NOW

-Aquarius
-Slash
-Divine Bloodlines
-Simon's Theme

rip plz

MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5I8FNV4V) - There you go, music pack 2.

I dont know about the rest of the music, but I received a response from Sota Fujimori that he and Takeshi Kuramochi arranged the DLC stuff, so I'm tagging them for the DLC rips. Remember, Fujimori did compose Castlevania Chronicles, so maybe some of his music from that made it into the main game.

The link is dead, can you refresh please?
The OST will be out at Jan 13

How did you contact them?! D: I'm surprised you were able to.

Also, Megaupload link says file is temporarily disabled, so could any of you kindly upload to Mediafire just in case? Thanks!

Yea it works now, thank you. I downloaded them on my game. That's probably the best Simon's Theme version I've heard so far.

Also, that guy who made the looping of the original rip, can you do that for the 2 DLC packs too, please? I'm a bloke when it comes to looping, heh.

Aww, it's in .ogg. Isn't there an mp3 version of the music? If not, it's okay, I'll just do it myself.

I can transform them into mp3, but I think it'll be quicker if you do it yourself. =P

I guess so, thanks anyway. I don't mind ogg, it's just that I don't have anything to play them with except my computer, and I don't want to install Rockbox on my iPod yet... not until I can milk the warranty for what it's worth. XD

Hmm... Music Pack 2 download is still "temporary unavailable" for me... stupid MegaUpload... that's depressing...

you can used the program Format Factory convert ogg to mp3 Format Factory - Download (http://format-factory.en.softonic.com/)

Hmm... Music Pack 2 download is still "temporary unavailable" for me... stupid MegaUpload... that's depressing...

keep refreshing the page and you it will work in the end

Thanks for DLC uploads Sectus...

P.S. Argg... Stop being temporarily unavailable Pack 2!!

Holy Moldy sandwich Batman its the Dlcs! Thanks

So anyone have the complete version of the soundtrack with both DLCs as well as the original music, looped and tagged?

So anyone have the complete version of the soundtrack with both DLCs as well as the original music, looped and tagged?

I second the good sir's request. :3

I've been working on one. It's complete but I may need to iron out Gaze Up at the Darkness because it ends on one loop and I don't know the exact timing for the second loop.

I'll upload it when I can.

Also the tracks are tagged with their original artists and not the arrangers because putting 5+ names on a track would be too long.

So, just to clarify, all of the songs are going to be in one download, tagged, looped, and all? Thanks!

Actually, I have the new Gaze Up at the Darkness as well as all of the other songs (but not the DLC songs) in this download:

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

LOL @ them calling it Harmony of Dissonance.

I'm going to check it to see if those are the Youtube rips or not, because if they are it means they may not be of good quality. The ones I looped were directly from the links by sectus, directly ripped from the game's file itself, and thus are perfect quality for a rip. They're also 320kb encoded.

EDIT: It is indeed the Youtube rip. Not going to incorporate it in any way.

Alright, guys. It's done. Rip has been cleaned up and is currently uploading to MegaUpload. Will update with final link.

EDIT: Unfortunately, everyone will have to wait a bit longer. Uploading to the big sites takes too long or gives me errors and MediaFire won't let me upload at all. I'm uploading to Shadowhaxor.net, and if I'm lucky it'll end up downloadable soon.

yay! Thanks! [waits] Did you find the right loop point?

Yeah all I needed to do was cut one part at the precise moment.

I heard there was a service to upload a single file to multiple mirrors like Megaupload and Rapidshare... If I find it I'll let you know.

CAN YOU UPLOAD IT IN MEDIAFIRE OR RAPIDSHARE

Is anyone aware that the 'Extra Stage' DLC contains two new tracks? One of the songs is "lost painting" but I can't remember the name of the boss theme.

...The OST will be out at Jan 13

Is this really true? Has the OST come out yet?

Is this really true? Has the OST come out yet?

yes it's out, but i couldn't find it yet...
here is the album info: LC-1960 | Akumajo Dracula: Harmony of Despair Original Soundtrack - VGMdb (http://vgmdb.net/album/21877)

Just a question, does the gamerip contain the dlc music?

Some previews of what's to come in the eventual OST.

I can't find the actual OST anywhere... no links are around...

Just a question, does the gamerip contain the dlc music?

You can find a well-tagged gamerip provided by Vulcan earlier in this thread including the 2 music pack DLCs, but not the new ones from Chapter 8 and onward (which have to be released).
It doesn't have the titles of the menu themes attached to it, but those are easy to be added manually.
Just for your convenience:
Title Screen -> Drone
Main Menu -> HYMNUS
Multiplayer Menu -> CORPSE'S GATE
Help & Options -> PURPLE EYES
Staff Roll -> Tractus

Anyway, have the missing OST tracks ripped from YouTube, I hope that'll be fine until we get the actual OST release here. :3
I believe I made the quality acceptable, hope you guys like it. <3
I also tagged it to respond accordingly with Vulcan's gamerip.
