Musical Discoveries in Touhou Fandom

I had an idea. I foresee complications, but I'm committing to it for the time being.
Paradise of Boundaries - A Sacred Lot ~ Classic Mix
Odd; won't embed for some reason. Well, the link should work.


HertzDevil - Eternal Shrine Maiden (HRtP)
Triple loop seems a bit excessive to me, but it's a relatively short piece anyway.


Togaki-san - "The Positive and the Negative" for Japanese Music Ensemble
A less complex arrangement, but with good instrumentation.

I was doing some cleanup to the RT playlist, and I couldn't find a replacement for TatshMusicCircle's paraguas. I did, however, find a video for Paraguas ~ The Great Eastern Cleaning Edition. For all intents and purposes, it seems identical, so for now I'll use that.
TatshMusicCircle - Paraguas ~ The Great Eastern Cleaning Edition
I'm pretty sure the audio at the beginning and end of the video isn't part of the song itself.

Never played any of PC-98 Touhou games myself but I gotta admit the music's pretty good, especially Mima's theme in PoDD (Which I'm a fan of) and I think this cover does it great justice, tenfold.




 
It's spring already
we need more Capital City of Flowers arrange, surprisingly quite hard to find
it's a highly atmospheric track, really loving how peaceful it feels


Spoiler

Foxtail-Grass Studio - せせらぎの誘う道
original: Capital City of Flowers in the Sky
if you somehow recognized this arrange before yeah this from Lost Word, uh.. technically no, Lost Word just made it famous.
the one in LW for some reason cuts the opening and retitled it to 'Path of the Murmuring Stream'
the actual translation from hamu is 'Road to Invite the Serpent'

Posting a day early this week. Artifex is a good ZUNish musician, with both covers and original works. Among his discography are complete cover albums for High Responsive to Prayers and Story of Eastern Wonderland.
Artifex - Catastrophe in Bhava-agra ~ Wonderful Heaven....?

Running late tonight, but I'm here.
Alstroemeria Records - Highly Responsive to Prayers


mocchie - Eastern Raiden Stories
I'd suggest turning down the volume for this one; quality isn't the best.


Madorēnu - Angel's Legend (Remastered)
Arranger name translated to "Madeleine," but I question the authenticity of that.

It feels like ages since I've posted something here (or even made posts in general for that matter, although that isn't really the case so much). I plan to remedy that soon. Anyway here have some musics.


Spoiler

SOUND HOLIC - Drive My Life
(no embed :SaguDown: )
(also ha, No Life Queen cameo at the beginning)

@Shionne Imeris So... one song is called "Censored", and the other is called "Nameless".

visible confusion

but joking aside, I think this is the first time I've heard the vocalist "Ai Ohsera". I'd like to hear more of her, do you know any more songs by her?

This is also kind of a double post, because I've got a new song to share as well! I have a feeling Drunken Flower in particular is going to appreciate this one.




 
The whole shrine is so much more active now, it's hard to keep up! Can't say I mind though; some of these conversations have been really thought provoking, and I'm always excited for music shares. So even if I'm less active, I still appreciate seeing the activity.

Anyway, continuing my plans for now.
takrockers!! - Gem of Yin & Yang


MarioGm734 - Touhou Blade of Banishment Remix


Kori - Mysterious Magic Mirror

I've been experimenting with different searching strategies to see if I can get different results. Doing the same search in Japanese seems to be somewhat effective; I've become as familiar with the appearance of "アレンジ" as I've previously been with "東方." In future, I intend to try VPN effects.
ZuikakuP - KAGENUI
Volume's a bit high on this one, but it's a solid remix. The uploader is the original artist, and I'd recommend checking some of his other works out as well.


crescentia - where angels fear to tread
crescentia, as the head of 11th Hour, needs no introduction from me. I'd recommend turning the volume up for this one, as the balancing leaves a fair bit of the instrumentation . . . subtle. Also, there might be a bit of Civilization of Magic in here, but it slipped by me so I'm letting it slide.


Mizumizu(?) - Parolization
I can't be sure of the artist on this one, so I'm defaulting to the uploader for now. Initially a surprisingly chill arrangement, and it doesn't build up too far beyond that; cozy.


Happy Resurrection Day!

Time is short today, so I have to get this in when I can. Also, reviewing earlier posts reminding me of alternative post formatting options.

Oshio Hakumu - Swordsman of a Distant Star
Possibly my favorite TH1 themes, though remixes rarely do it justice. This piece, though labeled as dubstep, has a restraint to it that creates a surreal tone; this compliments the pizzicato lead instrument, keeping the melody distinct.


Violet Delta - Reconciliation
Violet Delta hosted an album project for multiple remixes of this track, but this is my favorite. Hard to go wrong with VD synthwave.


Northwich Committee of Magic Researches - Shrine of Tempest
The forgotten track, replaced by the infamous Theme of Eastern Story in the Untouched Scores. This remix features heavy percussion reminiscent of the Oriental style, and I think it manages to balance out (perhaps a bit chaotic in the last third).
