I really enjoyed the music used for Legacy of Darkness, despite not being as memorable or catchy. 64 was my first Castlevania experience ever, although I didn't finish it until years later.

Harmony of Dissonance's clock tower them deserves some appreciation. Very creepy and distorted. Definitely sounds like something that would play in a haunted castle.
Though I think SOTN's overall is the best.

Whoa, it's difficult to choose between Tower of Dolls and Eneomaos Machine Tower, but I will go with the last because that clock ticks are damn awesome.

Wow that was tough....but I have come down to Tragic Prince and The Gears Go Awry. (Ive always LOVED Tower of Dolls but I think it's better in the other games it's in) While Tragic Prince is far and away the better song, The Gears Go Awry is better for a clock tower. That's my conclusion. If that makes any sense anyway.

While I love Harmony of Dissonance its clock tower music isnt too memorable, its hard to choose between Tower of Dolls, Clockwork and Clock Tower. But if you add Tragic Prince to the survey you are almost cheating since IMO this music uses almost all potential that a CD music can have, it is melodic and atmospheric at the same time, maybe only Bloodstained can surpass it,
I don't think Cursed Orphan will be used as a stage theme, I thought they specified it would be a boss theme in the KS page, but I can be wrong.

I absolutely love the Judgement's rendition of "Tower of Dolls", but since I'm not a fan of Ecclesia's version, I went with "Eneomaos Machine Tower" as my second favorite.

i think the cursed orphan is great, but im actually hoping its not the clock tower theme, instead id rather it be put in an area where you first see the dreaded clock tower in the distance and have a leadup to a big boss fight, then the distant sounding bells would be an epic touch to the fight, and once you finally make it to the clock tower the bgm has chimes and ticks and grinding sounds mixed into the epic track that slowly and subtly get louder as the song progresses or as you get higher in the tower if possible to ramp up the dread and feeling of the gears and monsters slowly closing in on you >3
still hoping theres a gigantic water clock in the alchemy tower though, i dont think ive ever seen one in a video game ^_^

They had water in the clock tower near gears almost like the roman one that you showed in another thread. Maybe their mechanisms aren't too obviously moved by water because they flow inside the wall?

hmm, ill have to check, ive never gotten to the clock tower in RoB, but i know about the pools in SotN and i had figured they were from rainwater, that would make sense though if they are part of the mechanism and would be a neat detail ive missed over the years ^_^
whats even more awesome is all those gears in the background, all that machinery, and theres a gigantic self contained watch at the top of the clocktower, and then theres the clock room in the marble gallery, maybe the machinery in the clocktower is run by the water being dumped into it and then the water is shunted off behind the library and down to run the clock room like a water clock, and the machinery also keeps the watch at the top wound, and then all that water dumps into the caves and the merman pool near the entrance and thats why the right cave fills when you enter and the door closes, and then the caves empty out into the lake where the boatman lurks >P
just watched a run of RoB and SotN since im stuck at work and the clock towers are really interesting, since theres no pendulum or escapement in either games both could be considered water clocks, since they work on water wheel principles, though the clock at the top of the SotN tower is clearly spring driven but could very easily be kept wound by the machinery below, the marble corridor clock could easily be a water clock though, so yay clocks ^_^

I like cursed orphan the best but I don't think it's really a clock tower theme.

Out of the IGAvania games, Tragic Prince is the best arranged with the best midi sounds, and that is the only reason why it wins for me. Were it not for that, the rest do have some great potential if they were to be rearranged for a console that supported a better range of sounds.
Were it not for this vote to be restricted to IGAvania games, I would have picked Bloody Tears from Super Castlevania IV.

If we're talking about Bloody Tears outside of the "clock tower" context, then although I champion the music from Super Castlevania IV, my personal favorite incarnation is in Rondo of Blood; that beginning pipe organ midi just sounds too perfect.

Here's an interesting cover of Aria of Sorrow's Clock Tower theme, from almost 7 years ago.

Clockwork for me. I think CotM had some of the best music in the series, in my opinion. :p
