notes: '"Welcome to Castellum Sanguis LXVIII; the tribute album project dedicated
  to the soundtrack of one of the more obscure Castlevania games, Castlevania X68000
  (aka: Akumajou Dracula X68000).

  The game was released on July 23, 1993 exclusively for the Sharp X68000. Though
  given the honorary title of Akumajou Dracula X68000, the game''s actual title is
  the more simple Akumajou Dracula, which translates to Demon Castle Dracula. The
  unofficial subtitle was given not to associate it with the machine for which it
  was made but to differentiate it from the four other games that share the title
  Akumajou Dracula in Japan. The game ended up being re-released as Castlevania Chronicles
  for the Sony PlayStation in 2001.

  As one of the least-known Castlevania soundtracks, I wanted to dedicate an entire
  arrangement album to pay homage to the music composed by Konami Kukeiha Club for
  the game''s 25th anniversary. Thus, Castellum Sanguis LXVIII was born. Featuring
  a cadre of Castlevania-loving artists providing the arrangements of the game''s
  original music, it is my sincere hope that this album will help gain the soundtrack
  of Castlevania X68000 the recognition it deserves.

  Special thanks to Andreas Kotsamanidis (aka: Snappleman) for being my right-hand
  guy on this album and for his love of this game''s OST that ended up ensnaring me
  as well. Also Erik Peabody for quality control and feedback."
