#DRACULA RESURRECTION SOUNDTRACK FULL#
It was also the first track she composed when Konami came up with the concept of the game and it shows clearly that she was full of energy and ideas. After she had renounced this kind from the Lament of Innocence score, Yamane now lives up with her traditional style once again and shows that she has matured a lot during the years of composing since her first Castlevania project Bloodlines in 1994. The atmosphere is typical Castlevania with gothic and rock-based instrumentation such as electric guitars, fast percussion, synth melodies, strings, and organ and fits the heinous scenery perfectly. Michiru Yamane is back again and more dynamic and energetic than ever with this stunning piece for the first stage. (7/10) 5) Abandoned Castle ~The Curse of Darkness~ The atmosphere is gloomy and suspense-packed. "Flattery With the Secret Arts" is the theme which accompanies the first meeting of Hector, the hero, and his adversary Isaac at the beginning of the game. All of these themes are excellent, but are designated for the use in the game specifically, so are not quite intended for listening pleasure on the album. There are many more cutscene tracks in this score than in Lament of Innocence, because of the overall more extensive story. An extended version of this can be found later on the soundtrack as a bonus track by the way. In the middle of the track this feeling changes into something more mysterious and epic with the use of choir, percussion, and brass until the track ends again on a sorrowful note. Woodwinds, strings, and violin are used in the first section to deliver a depressed and melancholy atmosphere. The story theme is this time more melodic than its ancestors. The music is provided by harpsichord and a female chorus, which delivers a classic baroque atmosphere very fitting, nicely developed, and absolutely pleasant. (8/10) 2) Blue SerenadeĪfter the horrifying "Cursed Memories" from Lament of Innocence, Michiru Yamane choses a more elegant and haunting theme for the game's beginning. Sadly, the piece is rather short, so there is not much more to say.
The melody is fantastic it describes the feeling of fate in a effective way and the percussion use also demonstrates confrontation. Actually used for the Demo Movie, this climactic piece introduces us to one of the major themes which can be heard also later on the soundtrack.
"Prologue of Fate" opens the soundtrack in a short but splendid way. Track-by-Track Reviews Disc One 1) Prologue of Fate More about this in my personal track-by-track review here. After she was sometimes criticised for not using electric guitars and rock elements in Lament of Innocence, Yamane went back to the roots with this score and returns the traditional rock and synth style among other interesting variations. Michiru Yamane was again responsible for the musical score and delivered a huge number of creative and unique compositions. Released two years after Castlevania: Lament of Innocence, Castlevania: Curse of Darkness was set in the year 1476, three years after the story of 1988's Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse.
