notes: '"It is hard to believe that twenty years have passed, two whole decades from
  the release of "Akumajo Dracula X: Gekka no Yasokyoku", better know in the west
  as "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night" for the Sony PlayStation (with a Saturn
  version releasing shortly after). Despite many attempts, Igarashi was never able
  to produce another game of the series that reached the quality of this 1997 release
  (not that I wasn''t happy that he kept trying, with many games following the formula
  on GBA and DS) but I do not find fault on his work because "Symphony of the Night"
  was simply the perfect storm, a result of Michiru Yamane''s beautiful soundtrack
  with Ayame Kojima''s incredible character artwork that made this 2D game truly stand
  apart from the mostly 3D games being released at the time and also the reason why
  two decades later the game seems (much like their vampire characters) not to have
  aged one single day.

  "Castlevania: Chiptunes of the Night" is my long and delayed tribute to Michiru
  Yamane''s incredible soundtrack. You might have found me teasing this release in
  the past years with me chiptune demakes/remixes/covers from such timeless classic
  songs as "Wood Carving Partita" or "The Tower of Mist". But this time I went for
  the complete soundtrack, or at least the tracks that I could get my hand on sheet
  music and/or MIDI files. The results of that adventure you will find on "Disc 1
  ~ The NES Incantation".

  "Disc 2 ~ The SNES Incantation" is a whole other subject. I have for many years
  been collecting Super Nintendo soundfonts, but have never really used it for anything
  I have released...until now! The second album was an (somewhat successful)  attempt
  to reproduce the "Symphony of the Night" soundtrack using only Super Nintendo instruments.
  I have used samples from "Super Castlevania", "Dracula X", "Secret of Mana", "Final
  Fantasy VI" and even "Chrono Trigger". I hope you enjoy both discs and that their
  sounds bring you some excellent memories from video games past. For me this was
  just something I really wanted to do and I am glad to have successfully completed
  this release. Now if you will excuse me, I think it is time to once again replay
  Alucard''s most epic adventure." - Shiryu'
