So, this is "remastered", which means they had access to the original master from KICA-7760 and tweaked it here and there?
Then, the newly added tracks (side D 11~17) aren't remastered but are freshly recorded from a Sega Saturn? Or are they newly-made remixes that don't appear in the Saturn game but are inspired by it? The track titles don't help much. If it includes tracks from the Saturn game, does it include all of them? Just asking since I haven't played the game. Can't even find a list of the Saturn-exclusive songs. I suppose what they call "Vampire Killer Remix" is the "Underground Garden", but is it Remix 1 or Remix 2? And where's "Cursed Prison"? It doesn't sound like a remix of Bloody Tears or Beginning. I've read it's basically ripping off Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor by Bach, but I don't have the patience to compare.

There shouldn't be any reason to cut it if it's based on a piece of music that's in the public domain. There are plenty of examples of VGM that do that with no problem

So thats the only missing song? Can someone indicate where the 7 saturn tracks on side 7 appear in the game?

You can listen to those 7 Saturn tracks here if you haven't heard them. The Saturn version also has the Cursed Prison music linked above as well as different versions for Dance of Gold and Dance of Pearls. The Master Librarian music is slightly different sounding as well - as far as I can remember those are the differences between the two versions.

Dracula's Castle and Crystal Teardrops also have a few extra seconds near the loop point in the Saturn version too, due to how the music is looped in that console.

Huh I never know there were some slight variations. I've known the extra music forever though (I imported the Saturn one not all that long after it came out).
FWIW two of the tracks -- one of the Beginning tracks and one of the Bloody Tears tracks -- were released on that large box set they released in 2010, but this is AFAIK the first release of the rest, including 'Guardian' which I used to be obsessed with. |

Since information about these tracks are pretty scattered throughout the web, I'll go ahead and centralise all the info I've obtained. I will edit the post later when I get the missing info (see bold). I will use the OST as the base, and we will try to take into account the rest of the tracks that are of interest to us individually:
-Extra Sega Saturn Tracks- Track titles as they appear in the Sega Saturn sound test. Chaconne c.moll Game context: Cursed Prison. Sega Saturn release exclusive. In-game sound test track #35.

Thanks! That's really nice. This is what the guys releasing paid-for soundtracks should do.

It is. However, the Saturn version has an additional requirement of having the Lyrics Card item equipped on one of Alucard's accessory slots. |

I just purchased this and, this may seem odd, but I like listening to this on vinyl more than the CD. Not sure why.
One thing I want to point out, is it just me, or do the more "weary" parts/instruments of the songs sound more weary on the LP than the CD? I don't know if I'm just imagining that or something (my player setup or it being on vinyl) is enhancing the music to the point I'm hearing things I didn't hear before on rather simple/more anemic setups. Also, I don't bring this up be a pill, but I kind of wish the new credits theme from the re-releases would have made it onto here. That would have been cool. |

About the SotN soundtrack, I can't help but think, isn't there another music track in the game no one here has brought up?
I haven't played the game in years, in fact I gave my friend my copies for the PS1 and PSP cause he'll actually play the damn things, but isn't there another track that plays in the confession room in the Royal Chapel? It's kind of like a droning piece that plays and you can sit in the chair and one of two "ghosts" will sit in the other chair. I think if the male ghost appears he'll close the curtain and you'll get a face full of weaponry; I think the women just disappears. Are my memories correct here? Am I thinking of the correct game? If correct, would this happen to be another midi like the Master Librarian piece? I get this isn't an important piece but I seem to remember it. |

Yes, there is a unique track - probably MIDI - that plays in the confessional booth and nowhere else, not appearing on any soundtrack just like the shop theme (before this release).
