Not bad.  I know the first song was the "Theme of Simon Belmont", but what were the others?

I also noticed a CV Adventure track in there too; from stage 3 I do believe. The original theme of Simon had a piano chorus and it is refreshing to hear it once more.  :)

Yeah, "Castlevania: The Adventure" was in there.  Name of the tune is "Darkness" but he has it tagged as "Death Fair".  Neat.

You must be a fan of Theme of Simon to use the tune three times.  Still, well done.  Whenever I heard the key changes I was expecting a new song to come up, and was pleasantly surprised with the selection.

However, you put this thread in the incorrect section.

Fantastic work! :) And video is also made in interesting way (with this beginning and ending). Are You going to publish the score?

Hello,
thanks for your feedback!
I indeed am a big fan of the Theme of Simon :) But that's not exactly the reason why it's in there more than once. Do you know Pascal van Stekelenburg's original arrangement of Bloody Tears? It's a real classic:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj8V_Ky-kxo
His arrangement is "entangled" by a fragment of Simon's theme, so that should explain a lot :)
About Death Fair, AFAIK Konami made a mistake and exchanged the titles of the two pieces in one of their soundtrack collections, so that's why many refer to stage 3 as 'Darkness' whereas it's properly called 'Death Fair'. Also kind of makes sense - The second stage was a dark cave and the third stage was a Death Fair in the truest sense of the word haha (one of the hardest Castlevania stages I've known). The Game Boy CVs have a lot of underappreciated music imho!
The Ninja Gaiden Medley sounds interesting, I would indeed love to hear it as well :)
About sheets, most of the video is played by ear, so there are no sheets. Making a score would also be kind of problematic since in two fragments I used arrangements from other people as a basis, so I would need to get their permission first. Don't expect sheets anytime soon, sorry :(
Many greetings

That was a pretty interesting rendition of Bloody Tears, mixing with a bit of Simon's theme. I think it worked out well.

Incredible! :)

How should we tag the MP3 to give You proper credits on Last.fm?
