Okay stop. STOOOOOP. Just a seck. I've paused this after 3 seconds.
...Dude, your piano is masterful. It's not something I'm used to hear from you, but well, you've upgraded your style, and let me tell you that this piano... is a great addition to it. 3 seconds in. I already know I'm gonna donwload this. Yes, YES it does sound beautiful. Kudos.
*resumses* Oh... Oh yes. Organ-like sounds. Fits the whole "vampire castle" Castlevania has going for itself, so no complains there.
00:16 Though I must admit, I expected the tune to begin in a more explosive manner, as that's usually what your style goes for in remastered tracks like this... Let us see what your direction is here.
00:32 ...oooh. Interesting. You went back to the tune's intro section instead of going straigt to the next. So this is more of a "personal remaster" than you staying faithful to the track, eh? Good, good.
00:55 Nice violin addition for this part. And I like that you drag it on a bit more than the original track does, only to switch back to THAT... FREAKIN'... PIANO. UGH, I LOVE IT. You seriously need to use that more.
2:02 Yay, a slow part! There are usually your strong point for making a remaster a bit more original, and I definitely love your take on it.
2:23 And it explodes! The drum building up to it was yet another nice addition.
3:04 Wooooooow! Did NOT see that ending coming. Interesting ending, it really does the theme justice as it sounds very much dramatic.
Wow, you're on a ROLL so far :D Keep it up!
PS: I won't be listening to Zero Two battle yet, because I first ned to battle him myself in Crystal Shards, fully experience the theme and THEN come back to enjoy your magnificent take on it, as I don't expect any less from you at this point, lol.
Cheers!
