I expected nothing less from Savaged Regime, and man Aria's Clock Tower in YM2612 form is just, wow. This is even better than the GBA's version, which was already great on its own.
This is a great arrangement, but I find it interesting that so many arrangements I've heard -- perhaps all of them --, including this one, gloss over (or simply do not notice) the detail right around the 1:33 mark where, in the original piece, the bassline actually dips a little bit below the pre-loop ostinato and creates a nice moment of friction.
This reminds me of phantasy star 3 opening. The first game I ever played on sega genesis as a kid. It absolutely makes me feel how I did back then. Simply awesome.
Hopefully, someone who is producing a new Mega Drive will give you another chance to create the soundtrack for his game. Xeno Crisis may not be enough to satisfy the need of fans of the best console ever made!
So this is one of the first videos i watched of you. And it fits so well. I grew up with the Genesis, and i think the soundchip of that is so amazing. And Castlevania is one of my favorite game series. I hope to see more Castlevania stuff!
Man this is such a jam! I always look forward to a track from you and constantly go back to listen to tracks from the past that you've uploaded. This channel is my retro vgm fix, I swear.
Como me encantan tus versiones 😍 ojalá sigas haciendo más. De este juego recuerdo cuando llegue por primera vez a este lugar, que maravilloso fue escucharlo en el GBA. Gracias!!! 🤙😍😍😍
Dude your covers are tasteful in every way. I cant believe how well mixed this is, it sounds INCREDIBLE in my good headphones. So much texture thank you.
This is fantastic. Your YM2612 arrange of the Theme of Simon from Super Castlevania IV remains one of my all-time favorite tracks, and I revisit it frequently. I would love to see a collection of YM2612 arranges of your favorite Castlevania tracks from games that didn't appear on the Mega Drive.
Holy shit Gecko , This is way better than the original , I can not believe that the Yamaha 2610 sound-chip could outperform the excellent Game-boy advance sound-chip like this ,,,, !!!!!! O.O ,,,, Wow am so speechless fella , You are getting better and better , Is this natural !? lol
But there are amazing games that can outperform the dedicated Yamaha2612 sound-chip for the genesis , for example , the Sonic advance games has a outstanding sound-chip , And i know , not many can master the GB Advance sound-Chip , only a selected few , but it's a impressive sound-chip nonetheless .
But who am i kidding , nothing can top the legendary Yamaha2612 , I only have the Turbo Grafix 16 as a rival , but not even the SNES and it's sound-chip can outperform the Yamaha2612 , lol ; ) , Still '' Sega does what Nintendon't ''
Sorry fella , as much as i love the Epic Yamaha2612 and the Genesis , i doubt it can make something unreal like this achievement : th-cam.com/video/kIIArDZ3SeI/w-d-xo.html ,, ; ) , that is why i love the GBA Sound Chip
not like this fella , The game-boy advance doing this sort of high quality music is nothing short but a miracle , I mean the only one beside the Genesis and GBA that can produce unreal high quality chip tunes is the Turbo Grafix 16
Welp, honestly, I wasn't actually sure if Aria of Sorrow even really had many notable tunes outside of Castle Corridor and Heart of Fire, but now I realize how much of a mistake that actually was, because god DAMN man, I did *not* expect this song to be this fucking good; especially after hearing the VGM preview of this track, I just thought the song wouldn't build up any further and just stay the way it was, which admittely was a very boring part of the song, and just didn't hold me in enough at all _However..._ Once I heard the pick scrape FM guitar patch at 0:35 (really nicely made FM patch btw), now that's when I thought "oh, okay, this shit is actually pretty freaking awesome" lmao; great job with this btw, as always ;)
This is so badass! The Sega Genesis could slap the sh** out of the SNES in the audio department in the hands of the right composer. Absolutely amazing!
The SPC700 + it's DSP has it's strength for sure, but the YM2612 + SN76489 + Z80a was a Composers Duo heh. Were one is a sampler which sometimes feels like it slaps you int he face with how the samples start and end? The other is far smoother, and in the hands of the right composer, especially those who knew the set up from the arcades? It's a very capable sound solution. I mean Renovation (or whatever names that publishing house took before SEGA bought them) shined in music with Arcade perfection on the megadrive :).
"Sega does what Nintendon't" dude that fight is way too old, let's be clear here: Genesis can do Synth: Great eletronic stuff, oh wow chiptune yes sir, I like it, cool; But SNES... dude, that thing can even replicate the Genesis soundchip with e a s e: th-cam.com/video/8V8q6Q7TmUw/w-d-xo.html take a look at one of your most famous tracks on Nintendo's big boy, 96.5% identical SNES covers on the Genesis always sound crappier, because it can't have samples in all the channels, aka, instrumental music sounds way better on the other side: th-cam.com/video/uSK7ZRcNzEI/w-d-xo.html We can S L A P P th-cam.com/video/vqeK2Ubd1tE/w-d-xo.html We can sound C L E A N th-cam.com/video/j6VoS1RlA6Q/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/bN-WLDSiEp8/w-d-xo.html ( oh look! An HD Synth on the SNES! ) We can sound A t m o s p h e r i c Just look at how clean a full instrumental song can sound in the SNES, genesis can't do that with only one sample channel, Both had very good sound quality and they end up in a draw after all the graphics, gameplay, and all that crap stuff, but if I was a composer in the 90s, and had to work with SNES or the Genesis someday, I would chose SNES all the way. Way easier to work with sample-based music.
I recently looked at a midi rip of the original and I think there is a case to be made that those notes weren't actually part of the composition but of a delay effect. They still do sound like they're missing to me though.
Hey Gecko! I became a Patreon a while ago and I just noticed that there's no vgms of your earlier works (i.e. MUSHA's). Is this intentional? I'd love to have For The Love Of in vgm format :)

It's becoming a habit for me to hit the like button before hearing a third of the track.
yes
I hit the like button before the page finishes loading. Why waste time? You know it's going to absolutely slap.
Those are some crisp drums I tell you what

Even cooler than the original

A lot of Castlevania covers on your channel recently....
And I'm perfectly fine with that! Love to see what you can make of all those tunes!
Maybe it's lead-up into some Bloodstained tracks :P
Holy crap, this is INTENSE.
a timely piece of music for sure!
1:26 love this part!
This might just be the best this song's ever sounded. Fucking flawless work.
Hopefully, someone who is producing a new Mega Drive will give you another chance to create the soundtrack for his game. Xeno Crisis may not be enough to satisfy the need of fans of the best console ever made!
Oh my god this is gorgeous. Clock Tower was always my favorite track from Aria and this really elevates it.
Really nailed the adaptation of rock/metal to YM2612!
My favourite Aria of Sorrow track! Your rendition is great!
DAMN THIS SLAPS 😭
Those drum samples are just SICK! What a great conversion! Kudos!
Just awesome ...
Ym2612 powaaaa !
This is sick!
You've done justice to this musical piece of art.
Damn this is crunchy! I love it!
Simply superb.
great stuff as always. Love how dynamic the genesis sounds can be.
Now this is absolute fire
Excellent
I LOVE this remix!
This is an absolute banger, i wonder now how you would make ruined castle corridor sound now
Beautiful 🔊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔊
Great cover! I loved the synthesized guitars on this one!!!
Pure awesomeness!
It's much better than original
more clear and more rhythmist
thank savaged regime great work
This is incredible!!!
Splendid work as always! Aria of Sorrow was always a favorite of mine.
Same! I blew so many hours on AoS
aira of sorrow was one of the best castlevania games ever
Melhor remix dessa musica
Dude I SO love what you did with the distortion guitar
What an absolute treat to see in my feed!! Keep it up man!
Excellent, as always!
This is very beautiful, you've made a great job :)
Man this is some quality work. Love the tracks you pick to remix as well.
This is one of my favorite of yours. Gotta love the guitars on this, man !
Oh man. I really hope he keeps touching on these great tunes from handheld Castlevania..stunning ym2612 work. I am in awe homie. Truly inspiring.
Now this is awesome! My favorite track from AOS, prestinely remixed. Thank you so much. :)
It's fantastic. Thank you.
Your channel is one of my main reasons for using TH-cam. A+

He is my first subscription. I think most of my subs are Genesis / Megadrive musicians.
omg, dat snare

I used to know you as a YM2612 expert. I think you qualify for far more at this point. Absolute master is the least hyperlative I can come up with.
Dude your covers are tasteful in every way. I cant believe how well mixed this is, it sounds INCREDIBLE in my good headphones. So much texture thank you.
Oh my GOD this sounds terrific! One of the best covers i've heard, no doubt!
I friggin love your castlevania covers, man !
That inspired me to try some too; it's only got a few genesis patches in there though.
👌
like the intro had me nearly sleeping but once the percussion entered the scene i woke up like IMMEDIATELY holy shit this rules
Amazing song to an amazing game
Man, I don't get how you mix your YM2612 songs so clean. its so easy to choke the sounds.
fucking siick this is more brutal than any guitar cover
This is fantastic. Your YM2612 arrange of the Theme of Simon from Super Castlevania IV remains one of my all-time favorite tracks, and I revisit it frequently. I would love to see a collection of YM2612 arranges of your favorite Castlevania tracks from games that didn't appear on the Mega Drive.

This is very good
Oh this nice!

I created a second account, just so I could like this twice 👍
lol nice
Nice!
Tremendous
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
This shit bops ma nigga
I wonder if you'll ever do Twitch streams or something.
I'd like to see you at work!
sounds like it could fit in a doom game or maybe if there is a doom/hexen crossover
Reminds me of Wanderers From Y's for Genesis.
"I'm interested in this."
Soma Cruz my love and me are pride of you, Savaged Regime.
the original version of the song no longer exists
Welp, honestly, I wasn't actually sure if Aria of Sorrow even really had many notable tunes outside of Castle Corridor and Heart of Fire, but now I realize how much of a mistake that actually was, because god DAMN man, I did *not* expect this song to be this fucking good; especially after hearing the VGM preview of this track, I just thought the song wouldn't build up any further and just stay the way it was, which admittely was a very boring part of the song, and just didn't hold me in enough at all
_However..._ Once I heard the pick scrape FM guitar patch at 0:35 (really nicely made FM patch btw), now that's when I thought "oh, okay, this shit is actually pretty freaking awesome" lmao; great job with this btw, as always ;)
Arena and top floor are also super good
I feel like a lot of under appreciated games/tracks would be mega hype if you personally remixed them.
0:37 suddenly E1M1
Better than the original! Very clear sound.
based as fuck. I love the original and this is more than solid.
this calls for a bloodlines remake
Please do Castle Corridor from Aria of Sorrow :D
Suena en una Megadrive? Es fantástico como se escucha.
How did you even get that FM orch hit at 1:27
Please, make cover of Corridor (first stage music).
Is this the level with the damn crab boss i could never beat?
Edit: nevermind I was thinking of Order of Eclessia
Nah you have to deal with a bigger bastard in the form of Death.
Yeah, I've still never beaten that OOE crab boss either and I love Igavanias
@@evenmorebetter wut its actualy easier one. blackmore boss is much much harder
Let's play the "who's the one idiot that disliked this" game!!! So... Who is it? :P
MP3 PLEASE
do kid chameleon mountain area rearranged
VGM available by any chance? :)
Is there any way you can do Divine Bloodlines?
can you play this on mega drive?
Yes

"Sega does what Nintendon't"
dude that fight is way too old, let's be clear here:
Genesis can do Synth: Great eletronic stuff, oh wow chiptune yes sir, I like it, cool;
But SNES... dude, that thing can even replicate the Genesis soundchip with e a s e:
th-cam.com/video/8V8q6Q7TmUw/w-d-xo.html
take a look at one of your most famous tracks on Nintendo's big boy, 96.5% identical
SNES covers on the Genesis always sound crappier, because it can't have samples in all the channels, aka, instrumental music sounds way better on the other side:
th-cam.com/video/uSK7ZRcNzEI/w-d-xo.html
We can S L A P P

Way easier to work with sample-based music.
Some notes missing in the main melody at 1:08. Common mistake in remixes, but oh well. Would you look it over?
I recently looked at a midi rip of the original and I think there is a case to be made that those notes weren't actually part of the composition but of a delay effect. They still do sound like they're missing to me though.
