    Notes: I don't know what it is about Castlevania music, and the music from Bloodlines in particular, that makes it hard to find on youtube in decent quality. People tend to make and upload bad emulator recordings, or worse, put reverb on them to make them sound more "epic" (this sounds really bad, cut it out). Enjoy this pure, minimally processed recording form pristine Genesis hardware. :) In particular you'll notice the warmer bass and gentler treble--check out the pizzicato string type sound on Requiem for the Nameless Victims in particular.

    This soundtrack is absolutely fantastic. Without a doubt, one of the best soundtracks in this series. Not only does it pay homage to some of the older gems of this series (Vampire Killer, Bloody Tears, Simon's Theme, and Beginning), but it has a lot of great original songs of its own. Perfect for the season of Halloween too. And that's saying a lot considering Bloodlines was the first and only game in the series that was made for the Sega Genesis.

      Actually, Michiru Yamane (the composer) explained the song title 8 months ago in the description of her video when she played this on piano:
      Intentionは、目的という意味です。
      直訳すると、アイアンブルーの意図という意味のタイトルです。
      「ドイツ兵器工場」ステージのBGMでした。
      なんとなくですが、ドイツ=青(Blue)、兵器=鋼鉄=鉄(Iron)というイメージからこのタイトルをつけたのだと思います。
      (in English) Intention means (in Japanese) purpose/intention.
      If you translate literally it means (in Japanese) "Iron Blue Intention".
      The BGM is for the stage "German Armory".
      Somehow or another I think I connected the title from the imagery of German = Blue, Armory = Steel = Iron.
      czcams.com/video/YrW22JzZ0kM/video.html
      So she associated German with the color blue for some reason.
      The intention of German iron...

If I am feeling the genesis soundtrack vibe man, I listen to your stuff because I know it's got such a pure sound in it, especially in the midtones and bass which is one of genesis' strengths. But requests, Certainly more Konami games, Zombies ate my Neighbors, Contra Hard Corps. Good ones at the top of my head.

    The beautiful thing about 16-bit music is how it can be as dynamic and as colorful as a realistic performance without getting in the way of your gaming experience. Most modern games soundtraxks have a tendency to make everything sound big and then compressed it to hell and the overly compressed quality of what is supposed to be a realistic sound never fail to distract me and makes my head dizzy. So much so I usually turn the music off when playing modern games.

      Trying to step back and be as self-divorced, and objective as possible, looking at SNES sound vs Genesis sound vs PCE/TG16 sound overall, I really am forced to declare a "too-close-to-call" relative three-way tie. Speaking in terms of my more subjective, personal preference feelings, SNES definitely comes in third, but it's a really tight fight between Genesis and PCE. Heck, I might almost have a slight lean towards PCE, to be honest. Still, all three great sources for some of the best VGM of all time...even SNES. :-)

    Sega Lord X got me into this game with his review and also placing it atop his top 10. I would have absolutely loved this game as a kid, if I had known it existed or what it was about. As an adult, it's harder for me to get into platformers, but this one is such a work of art that it's now a top-5 Genesis game for me (and I'm mainly a sports gamer).

    Hands down the best Castlevania game of the 16 bit generation. The soundtrack is amazing! You got to love the way the Mega Drive showcases music. This game was and is a masterpiece. The graphics, music, sound effects & gameplay is top notch. This one of them games again that showcased the power of the Mega Drive the 16 Bit Power House that brought the Arcade Experience home better than the PC Engine and SNES IMO. Man you got to love the Mega Drive/Genesis!

      Honestly I prefer Rondo of Blood, it has a lot of stages, a lot of bosses and alternate routes, however Bloodlines is my second favorite 16 bit castlevania, 6 stages might sound like few, but once you get to them you get why, they're enormous, with two bosses in each of them, and the replayability value with 2 characters is great, it's a better pick up and play type of game, more like the first Castlevania on the NES

      shadowshinobi06 To me, SCIV's soundtrack is mostly generic, bland, and forgettable, aside from the epicness that is Simon's theme and the Bloody Tears remix. Bloodlines, on the other hand, has a mostly upbeat and rocking soundtrack. Reincarnated Soul, Iron Blue Intention, Sinking Old Sanctuary, Calling from Heaven, these are just some of the awesome tracks in the game. But if you prefer SCIV over this game, that's fine by me.

The graphics here are a lot crisper and cleaner. The rotating room and the spinning room also feel really tech-demo-y and aren't really any scarier than the Pisa platforming section. And sure, the whip was stronger but you could only swing it off specific hooks and it made the subweapons not worth it.

    The continued use of synth tones didn't move Castlevania soundtracks forward much technologically. But, compositionally, this is more fitting and more interesting to me than the "bells and whistles"-like soundtracks of SotN and SCIV due their bizarre use of jazz stylings and even singing.

    • @imfsresidentotaku9699
      @imfsresidentotaku9699 Před rokem +1

      The use of jazz stylings and singing doesn't make those soundtracks any less fitting or interesting. Quite the contrary. And the synth tones in this one couldn't be helped, as the Sega Genesis sound chip is a reduced form of the Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, but Konami played to its strengths, which is only smart.

    Castlevania was one franchise that took supreme advantage of the Genesis and Super Nintendo's strengths and weaknesses. Super Castlevania had more ambient, fitting tunes, a super-powerful whip, two rooms that made great use of Mode 7, and more stages. This game has more elaborate tunes, a creative new subweapon, some rooms that really exercised blast processing, and more variety within each stage. Now I wonder why Konami didn't do the same with Contra...

You can also get a slight improvement by disconnecting the audio pin on the CXA1145, you can either just leave it off and do a stereo mod or actually even safely reconnect it, just bypassing the chip. I have no idea why they feed audio through it at all actually other than it's there, it doesn't affect the audio output at all.
