Apologies again for neglecting the tag recently. My plan for the month was to explore some horror and horror-adjacent game soundtracks (another of my historical blindspots) and post things I liked throughout, but offsite things and world events kept me from doing that in a way that was enjoyable or productive. I hope to resume regular music posts and commentary soon, and maybe prep better for the horror thing next October.

For now, here's a track from the second disc of arrangements from the Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon box set that came out earlier this year. Like I mentioned in the first post, the arrangements for CotM 2 are a bit weaker than the ones from the first game. That could be because the original tracks are a bit more avant-garde or the fact that TAKUYA, the person in charge of the first game's arranged soundtrack, wasn't involved with these at all. At their best, they sound like weaker Megaman Zero Remaster tracks.

Here's the original chiptune track for comparison.
