Remix Tournament strikes back

The remix tournament has returned.  Hopefully because people will be interested in this.

This is essentially a game of sharing and rating music remixes that we have found.  It's not really much of a competition, and there's not really much of a prize in the end, so don't worry about anyone taking this too seriously.  It will go like this: every participant will send three remixes/arrangements/etc to me via PM.  Then, I will post three of all the pieces in the thread, and everyone will comment on them and rate them.  A day or two later (depending on how many people we have and how fast they post), I will post the next set and we'll do it again.  We continue like this until we've gone through all the pieces, and we find out who had the highest rated song, best average rating, etc.

So, if you want to join, post here, then send me a PM with your choices.  Sign-ups will last one week, assuming we have enough interested people.

While rating by numbers is arbitrary, I can compile them into a percentage at the end so we can see who has the rated song and best average, so that would be preferable.

 
Yeah, I went for a Star Wars reference instead.
Are you interested?

Also, I don't know, ever seems to happen for me.

 
Hmm, we've got three right now.  Little small, but we could run with it.  What do you guys think?

 
Oh, when you didn't respond after I asked if you were interested, I assumed you weren't.  In that case, I would need your picks, and we could start.

 
for 7 minutes i thought there's only 2 songs there, until i read the song header.

Un-unified Magic World Theory

eyy PC-98 quite unusual especially Chiyuri theme, but for some reason, im not fond for Nana Takahashi outside of Eurobeat... so... forgive me 4/10

Daughter of Touhou Spring that hat seems familiar

Capital City of Flowers are really beautiful it ranked 2nd in my pcb playlist, but banjo(?) and xylophone? idk what vibe it supposed to give, western dreamy??????? oh adventurous dream yes. i'd say not something i hate nor something i'd pick. 6/10

Yuune Zekka, Rouran no Sai

East New Sound and Chata and NayutaView attachment 664 . i quite like the background vocal 7/10

I wouldn't count scores of your own picks, but it's up to you if you want to say if it's yours or not.

You can score it, but it won't count toward the final tally. Personally, I like hearing some of the thoughts behind people's choices (especially for pieces I'm don't like as much at first, as it can give me a better perspective).

Un-unified Magic World Theory:

Considering the source material, this remix was very smooth. It might just be my previous experience with eurobeat, but I get a very strong "anime OP" feel from it. 5/10

Daughter of Touhou Spring:

I fell in love with this piece for its unique instrumentation. The original piece already lends itself to an "airy journey" feel, which is accentuated in this piece. 8/10

Inanimate Sounds of Severed Blossoms, Spectacle of Color:

Flower Land is one of those Touhou pieces I've yet to fully appreciate. The flowing tone of the vocals contrasts with the hard punch of the music beautifully, but I'm not enjoying it as much as I'd like (edit: listened to it again, felt better about it). 6/10

well so i just need to rate rest gotcha!

on other hand i wont mind if someone know which is mine and which not

so:

1. I always liked arranged of PC98 themes and Nana Takahashi kinda too so i would rate it:
7/10


2. Honestly i always had some distance for very calm songs (i still quite like this theme tho) with some exceptions to which this song unfortunately does not belong so sorry but because this theme my rate goes up to 5/10 instead of 4/10



3. Im not gonna rate this one.
Guess why ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 
Yeah, Ken had it right.  You can rate yours if you want, though I won't include it in the math at the end I'll do.

 
Un-unified Magic World Theory:

Crashin' the gate!!!!! That opening gets me every time, so this is one of my picks, of course. There's something about the lyrical work and also the music which I find incredibly catchy and... I don't know how to describe it, tactile? That's a very strange word to use. Plus, it's a remix of Strawberry Crisis. Overall I like the upbeat energy and find the song easily memorable, so I'll give it a 7.5/10.

By the way, there's also a PV version of this here. Ken's not wrong when he says there's an anime OP feel to this.

Daughter of Touhou Spring:

I'm really impressed by this. It has a very relaxed and oriental feeling, with also a hint of mysteriousness; overall it's a very atmospheric piece. It sticks more or less completely to the structure of the original BGM, but I think that works here as it makes it feel like it could be used as background music itself, which is what I want from an atmospheric piece. I'll give it 7/10.

(By the way, shouldn't "Touhou" translate to "Eastern"?)

Inanimate Sounds of Severed Blossoms, Spectacle of Color:

At the start I didn't think it was going to be anything special, but I was pleasantly surprised. There's a really nice contrast between the hard electro beat and the soft vocals as well as the other softer instruments in the song, and overall it makes a very unique atmosphere which I really quite like. However, maybe it's just me, but I find that it struggles to stay interesting throughout the whole song? It's pretty good, so I'll give it a solid 6/10.
