Are you serious? It feels like you use a reverse cycology, OOE has a lot more of "Streets of Rage meets Miles Davis" music into it than SCV4 which most of the tracks are more setting and era appropriate themes.
Chronicles has a more techno vibe(Vampire Killer, Wicked child and the theme of Dracula's 2nd form) which is not totally accurate to the game's setting
Yes I'm serious, do you have an issue with this... Reverse Psychology? Yes that's what I do in my spare time, go on Castlevania forums and use reverse psychology to mess with people.. You sound insane right now.
No it does not, MD is smooth jazz which suits SCIV's tone. OOE if anything has more CV meets Megaman X, beside the point I never spoke about OOE's atmosphere, I stated I liked it's artwork. Atmosphere-wise I place AOS above SCIV.
Chronicles music may feature other musical elements but I believe the vibe feels more CV than IV. Dracula's second form track mimics the original CV which also didn't sound Gothic or dark, but it lasts for a whole 30 seconds of the game while you pummel him to death. SCIV's second form Dracula theme was better, but his second form wasn't.
