Title: Ferrán Cruixent (other LoS2 composer)
Post by: Chernabogue on January 09, 2015, 01:36:46 AM

Oscar Araujo didn't compose all of LoS2's music -- his orchestrator, Ferrán Cruixent, also composed a few tracks, available here: https://ferrancruixent.bandcamp.com/album/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-2-ost (https://ferrancruixent.bandcamp.com/album/castlevania-lords-of-shadow-2-ost)

Even if most of you don't like LoS2's music, that's a nice thing to know. ;)

Cool! I'm glad that the piece that plays when Dracula awakens is there, "Lake of Fate." I've been wanting to hear that by itself.

God, a lot of those tracks just make me sad because they make me think of the lost potential this game is.

Fuck.

Either way, I think the LoS devs at MS, including the composers are underrated. They all clearly had ideas on how to do this, but were fucked over by Alvarez.

So this is the man that composed...S-swam combat? Well, whatever the name of the song is, it's one of my favorites. Good on him.

I still find myself listening to the credits and remembering the ending I thought this game was going to have.

Can't help but listen to the final boss music and do the same. Satan's 7-headed dragon form, Alucard & Victor paired with Dracula against Satan, the stabbing of Gabriel with the Vampire Killer...

Still, I'm happy we have such imaginations. Maybe one day, a brave developer will put them to their proper use.

I'd bring these guys back, definitely. They deserve a lot of dap for cranking out excellent work despite the working environment sapping the life out of what should have been a much better series ending title.

Though I love Michiru Yamane, I'd love to see them do another run on a future hopefully epic Castlevania project.
