I do believe that if Yamane and Oscar bumped heads they could create a fucking masterpiece.
I think that her OOE soundtrack was one of the best in the whole series and definitely much much better then anything DOS and POR could offer.
120 piece orchestra vs synthetizer...So SotN, LoI and CoD were produced from a synth, is that what you are trying to say?
Sorry dude , but if Yamane came back , konami should ban the synthetizer from the project.

I wasn't talking about the whole stuff but some voices and other sounds that ruins the rest.
Example: the voices in here would have rendered nicer with a choir:

Yeah, I get that a lot from people. Dunno, I'm just not hearing it.Well, for me OOE OST is great because pretty much all the music in the game has the same theme going for it - "cold and melancholic". It's one of the very few games in the series where music had the general theme for it and supported mood (others being SCV4, CVB, CV64). Also, this soundtrack finally was arranged nicely as opposed to the DOS and POR OSTs which good melodies were butchered by very questonable arrangement, IMO.
In fact it would be cool to hear what she can do with a hi budget and a big orchestraAnd good sound hardware that could make her songs sound good in-game.
Half the reason why people like Castlevania so much is because of the music. LoS took all that and flushed it down the toilet. Bring back Yamane. She brought soul into the series.0/10
Lords of Shadow just sucks and doesn't deserve the title of "Castlevania".
She brought soul into the series.Good soundtracks were in the series way back before Yamane come on board. Since the very first game in the series, to be exact. The same case with the soul. LOS has soundrack that is appropriate for what game attempt to do.
well Cox did say the LoS trilogy should be viewed as a book; LoS2 being the absolute end/last chapter of the story. Once MercurySteam completes it, it'd be pretty pointless for another team to make more games in that canon, since every chapter would have already been completed [with MoF], so to speak.I hope so, but that didn't stop Konami before (AoS pretty much finishes the old timeline)
I hope so, but that didn't stop Konami before (AoS pretty much finishes the old timeline)I don't recall Konami saying AoS was the end of the old timeline. Maybe the last(when it was released, for that time) in the timeline, but not the definite end. I always felt, though, AoS was an attempt to create a new series within the original canon. Kinda like BC and AD, DE(Dracula Era) and AD(After Dracula).

Cox pretty much said that...
I always thought that Sotn and LoI had the best soundtracks. CoD is good but it has too much electric guitar pieces for my taste. If they ever bring back Yamane, she should do something in the vein of LoI, with dark yet very beautiful pieces that don't use too much guitar .Don't get me wrong I love the guitar as an instrument, but it doesn't convey emotions as good as a piano or a violin does, especially if it's an electric one.

One of the reasons music for older games often seems superior to current games, is because since the systems could only do music with what was in the system, they had to emphasize a strong melody.
I do love myself that Bloodlines soundtrack. The Genesis instruments give real good unique sound, and they really lend themselves to castlevania. I think The Adventure rebirth with it's genesis sounding soundtrack can attest to that besides Bloodlines.

The sound quality is kinda poor though since it's on GBA.
