Actraiser Symphonic Suite - "Pyramid" and "Northwall"

[@Jdabomb93]

2:57 Ahhhh. 😌 Northwall. 🗻 So beautiful. 🥺

[@TeenageWind]

3:02 hearing this tune performed by an orchestra brought a tear to my eye. Finally this absolutely beautiful song is performed the way it should be. I really hope the composer has heard this version.

[@HyperDefective]

These arrangements are fucking fantastic.

[@Renrussian]

Actraiser is still my favourite game ever. Nothing can touch that game plus it's magical soundtrack. Yuzo Koshiro is a god.

[@hansgruber8057]

This is excellent!.. How awesome would it be to see another one of these games in the future, using this music. I'll keep dreaming until then. lol

[@Pholiage]

Fantastic rendition. It sounds both scary at times and very sad. Beautiful

[@CryonicCrusader]

This game had such good thematic music, and even though it was one of the earliest games released for SNES, it carried through the entire era as having some of the best music for the system, period.

[@therapy_takechan_5050]

How nice arrange! What a beautiful backbround sight! Very cool!!

[@JRobZaleta]

This is definitely sacred music...the video is amazing, thanks!

[@astarock29]

one of the best musics ever made on any game or console, this is "top quality"composition this is why it still sound s so great ....

[@AskDr78]

This will forever be the definitive Actraiser soundtrack. Powerful

[@xanderslfy]

I agree @renrussian this is the greatest game of all time and the music composer is a totally genious !

[@kenshinsavior]

I found it kind of awkward how warm and homey the music sounded while fighting giant plant monsters trying to eat me alive. At least I think that's the northwall level...

[@OtakuManiacX]

That is simply brilliant

[@Joryo1]

Parts of Pyramid are similar to the Castlevania SOTN track, Door of Holy Spirits. Has anyone noticed that?

[@KevinStriker]

ActRaiser is manageable. It's not too difficult until the final third or so. But if you want a challenge, try Professional Mode, or Arcade Mode. It removes all the city building sections and your sword is considerably weaker. ActRaiser 2 is basically a sequel to ActRaiser's professional mode. No city building sections and GODDAMN is it ever hard!

[@CryonicCrusader]

@jvutube07 You have good taste ;-) I love Castlevania IV's music. And Actraiser's/Actraiser 2's. Plus there're also games like FF6, Super Metroid (although that one has a lot more electronica influence), and Terranigma. CV4 is my favourite because some of the stage themes are jaw-droppingly good, but I agree that the Actraiser games are more consistently good. CV4 also had some stage themes I hated (Stage 7 for example :-p)

[@Skull10]

I don't have the CD. I downloaded all the tracks from an obscure French website 5 years ago. The website no longer exists.

[@Skull10]

It no longer exists. Though, if you do a search, you may be able to find it elswhere on the net.

[@CryonicCrusader]

The composer arranged and conducted this version, if I remember correctly.

[@patrick22014]

If I were millionaire I'd buy Actraiser rights and give the project to Santa Monica, Team Japan, Team Ninja or any other amazing company with epic action games like God Of War, Ninja Gaiden or similar so they could exploit this master piece with today's software and make the most epic game ever.

[@Beowulf095]

Just a Beutiffull song, Yuzo Koshiro is the best composter in this game, so wonderfull songs

[@MountainMyan]

Stay up late and fucking A did I stumble onto a gem. Thank you.

[@Skull10]

You remember incorrectly. Yuzo Koshiro was the composer. Kaoru Wada conducted and orchestrated.

[@tollutollu]

Riddle of steel from Conan is what it reminds me of, had to listen to a few tracks to find the song I was remembering. As cheesy as those movies were, the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard :B

[@CryonicCrusader]

@kenshinsavior It makes you think of watching a gentle snowfall out a window, not getting jumped at by Venus fly-traps made of ice :-p

[@empyreanlc]

You should give Actraiser I and II a try then. Warning, it's an extremely difficult game, but has great endings, especially Actraiser 2

[@clomagro]

WOW Northwall part is great

[@KnaRRaN1989]

Anyone got the first level song :)

[@CarlosIsDown]

Friggen sweet! Where the hell did you find this CD. How much was it?

[@jstephenj]

@jvutube07 I must clarify that while Actraiser had the superior soundtrack, that Castlevania IV was more fun to play and had better controls as a side scroller. Actraiser did have fantastic visuals that were on par with CV4, but they weren't quite as memorable. But to its credit, Actraiser didn't enjoy the same brand recognition either.

[@CryonicCrusader]

I stand corrected. Cheers Skull10. :-)

[@CarlosIsDown]

Aw man. If I could find the cd, I'd buy it, no matter how much it cost. Then I'd try to arrange it. What web site would that be?

[@kinneas]

3:00 just making a bookmark for the awesome Northwall theme :D

[@Skull10]

Any particular score/theme of his?

[@Skull10]

Actually, I downloaded the music tracks from a web sit years ago.

[@Th3ba1r0n]

CONAN! :D

[@RAKOdu13]

only old gamers can understand this banger

[@HisDivineShadow245]

@JLiqour The "hard weener" comment alone deserves a thumbs up. LoL

[@tollutollu]

northwall sounds like basil poledouris :O

[@-Trauma.]

Pyramid makes me think of some Biblical type shit, like an Ancient Enemy coming into the modern world and turnin that sumbitch upside down.

[@Th3ba1r0n]

next time I play skyrim, I'm playing this song :D

[@fryst2097]

荒いラッパがサイコー

[@aaron032977]

You who practice lawlessness. Who do things in secret and think they are hidden. You do not know God because he has hidden his face from you.

[@jstephenj]

@jvutube07 Castlevania 4 was good but not as good as Actraiser was.
