I will have to say Bloody Tears, from the Saturn Version of Nocturne in the Moonlight.
This is not on a specific OST, but the reason I named it is that this was the song that essentially brought me to VGM. I cannot deny it's awesomeness.

My all time Fav is of course "Bloody Tears" in all it's various incarnations.
What I like VERY much, too is the song called "Picture of the Ghost Ship" (STAGE 5, Dracula X, PC Engine CD), and of course Opus 13 is top notch, too.

well, i don't have a ~specific~ favorite OST or Arranged album, i love ALL Castlevania/Dracula music. but i'd have to say my favorite games were and still are Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES), Super Castlevania IV (SNES) and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (PSX). Konami's music kicks ass - plain and simple.

I happen to like all Vampire Killers. I also like: The sinking old sanctuary, harmony of dissonance, and all of the Circle of the Moon songs. except for the sewers one...

Can't go wrong with Bloody Tears. Tragic Prince, and many others on the SOTN soundtrack. Yes, I'm just typical, nothing special about the ones I like.

That reminds me: The Dracula Battle albums had two very cool Ballad-like songs on them: "Calling from Heaven" and "Requiem for the Nameless Victims" - I hear those very often. They're part of my "VGM RELAX" Compilation.

Bloody Tears (Especially in CV4), Beginning (Especially in CV4), and Opus #13 (Konami Battle the Best). These are the big tracks I love. But there are so many more that are great as well.

My favourite is Cross a Fear, from Battle Perfect Selection, and the same track from Castlevania Dracula X for Super Nintendo.

I love Castlevania 4 Stage 1 and the SOTN-Soundtrack. I have also Castlevania MIDI Collection on CD, and would love to have some more.
