I really can't enjoy the Judgment soundtrack. I do however like the Dracula Battle albums.

Those Dracula Battle albums are fantastic. I haven't actually listened to Judgements soundtrack yet.

Dracula Battle albums are quite possibly the most awesome arrangement CD's in gaming history. It was basically what everyone wished for.

I have those albums, they're pretty cool.

The best CV music IMO is Belmont's revenge soundtrack; no other game will ever have the gothic-yet-not-cheesy-but-classy tone of that whole game, every track is not just good VG music, just change the 6bit chiptone for a piano and you have some masterful solo pieces. That's the unbeateable soundtrack for me and second place is LoS' (Third is Curse of Darkness, great stuff there too)

I loved that the game used some Bach tunes (namely, the last stage before Dracula and the fight with Soleil). Seriously, why have no other Castlevanias done that?

I think that the reason why these battle selections were so good was that they were made way back in the day and the composers weren't under the gun to get these out for the next CV game.

On this, I will agree with you. Not that it's, in my opinion, "the best" (because there's just too many in the series to judge)....but damn if it's not a wholly awesome soundtrack that pushed the limits of what the Gameboy's 4-bit sound wave could do. I will forever nominate it as the most underrated Castlevania soundtracks. I played the shit out of that game simply to hear the music while battling. ^.^


Dracula Battle albums...jeeze...don't get me started on how great they are. Somehow, they managed to take "Castlevania" and "Rock" and seamlessly mesh the two with 90% of the album (there were a few I didn't care for). It has remained the best album other than a game OST to date.
