What to get this season?
LOTS of them, actually. Seeing that my chaps at Youtube are making their own lists I think I should too...I'm also updating the R7 thread in Doujinstyle's Music section (NOTE: I AM NOT DOING THIS FOR POST COUNTS). Quite the unexpected series of events lately, some groups seemed inactive but hey, they aren't. Well, here goes the list, and mind you, THIS WILL BE LONG! //list starts here (LOL C++ codes) Alice Music - heartxhurt (Website) (Crossfade: under Track List tab)
Sure, these guys belong to the hundreds, maybe thousands, of minor, lesser-known groups that contribute to the music industry, but hey, they have a thing or two in their sleeves, like that Last Remote x RegaSound vocal. Shit. I mean, THE BEST OF SUBTERRANEAN ANIMISM + BEST MANVOCALIST (next is yonji or Beat Mario) EVER. Also worth mentioning? Track 4. Nana Mitani! dBu music - RoYAL MiLK TEi (Website) (Crossfade)
tl;dr, this is something like iCE MiLK TEi. At least, that's what I think. But yeah, the tracks are pretty cute. *child at heart* SYNC.ART'S - Rainbow Face (Website) (Samples: see website, text hidden)
I'm disappointed that they won't be doing a full-length album this season just like the previous Reitaisai. Back then, they released HEART CHAIN, one of my most favorite albums in their line. Well I guess I could take it, since it's SYNC.ART'S, and there's a really interesting vocal in this album. SOUND HOLIC - Metallical Astronomy (Website) (Crossfade)
When the album art was first revealed days ago, everyone went OMGWTWIFHGJGNSASDJAlDJAKGNG!! I'm one of them. Didn't expect this, y'know~ Silver Forest - 黄昏シューティングスター (Twilight Shooting Star) (Website) (Crossfade)
They got me this time. I didn't like Touhou Starry-Eyed from C77, they're making up for it. Those three tracks in the crossfade are so sexy, I just can't stop listening to it. Natsumi deals MASSIVE damage with that Cosmic Mind vocal, and I am also seeing two new players alongside Sayuri and Natsumi. Let's see what they have for us. Silver Forest - 東方電撃波動⑨ (Website) (Crossfade 1) (Crossfade 2)
*ehem* In a nutshell, this is some kind of Ryureisaisai 2, only less epic. Alstroemeria Records - Double Counterpoint (Website) (Crossfade)
More ALR x Syrufit! They're really getting into this, eh? REDALiCE & t+pazolite are also present. Who knew? ALiCE'S EMOTiON - Intervention (Website) (Crossfade)
Well you know I was going to deliver this. More awesome techno/electronica/trance in store for us! And this doesn't get even better when I heard Gensokyo ~ Lotus Land Story, Himorogi, Burn in Violet and Eternal Shrine Maiden. Damn. Just damn. ALiCE'S EMOTiON - TAILWINDS (Website) (Crossfade)
Nope, the party doesn't stop without another Bunkachou-based (well, there are lots of it) album. Track 4 is CUTE. Hatsunetsumiko's - A Story (Website) (Crossfade: see website)
Yep, if you can look up to the 2nd PV of Touhou Kinema Kan ~2nd Curtain~, you'll hear Track 2 (near the end). The most tear-jerking Heian Alien vocal I've heard. Also present; an awesome man-vocalization of Byakuren's theme, and Suwako's stage theme that threw me away from my seat. 電奏楽団 - 幻想禄 (Website) (Crossfade)
This appeared today on T-Arrange (12th March), and so I decided to check it out since yeah, the banner seems appealing. And to my surprise, even the music says the same thing. Attrielectrock - 租界条例 ~Qualia Kiss~ (Website) (Crossfade)
Metallical Astronomy is not the only one taking on the Music CDs. I hope that some random guy from the Internet shares this one, not like ACCR a perfect day, which in fact, up until now, ISN'T APPEARING IN SHARE *rage* Anyway, GHOSTLY FIELD CLUB. It's bound to be a niiiiiice album. OG-G Music Works - X-RateD -Back 2 back 90's- (Website) (Crossfade: see website)
I bet my money this hardcore retro album is gonna kick my ass. Syrufit - Love Buzz! (Website) (Crossfade: see website)
If you're a fan of Alstroemeria Records, you'll love this too. Loving the line-up in this album, lots of PC-98's and a Seihou. monochrome-coat - Dearest...from (Website) (Crossfade: see website)
Well, we haven't seen the first album from this group, but I can see Meramipop, one of my favorite vocalists! EastNewSound - EastNewSoundBest vol.1 (Website) (Crossfade)
Yeah, it's ENS' best of the best. Of the best. Of the bestest. Y'all probably know I'm an ENS fag, yes? Halozy - Heartcore Forte (Website) (Crossfade)
Really, I haven't listened to Starry Presto, their 3rd album. I hate myself for that. This circle's affiliation with EastNewSound and Conagusuri made me decide that I should go check on this one. Make me impressed, IRUS and Sumijun. 龍5150 - Symphonic Touhou III -Senkou-han- (Website) (Crossfade)
Just hearing the XF made me scream "FFFFFFF YEAH" And I didn't expect to hear a vocal arrange in this album. 第7回博麗神社例大祭 公式コンピレーション・アレンジCD - 流麗祭彩2 (Ryureisaisai 2) (Website) (Samples) The Ryureisaisai from R6 didn't really impress me that much but hey. CYTOKINE, SYNC.ART'S, SILVER FOREST, EASTNEWSOUND, DEMETORI, IEMITSU., ALiCE'S EMOTiON, CIS-TRANCE. Holy shit, is this Big Brother or something? Also, sexy, delicious Sanae x Suwako cover. <3 魂音泉 (TAMAONSEN) - Romansick -ロマンシック- (Website) (Samples: see website)
Tamachan and ill.bell are back, and they're bringing in more awesome stuff. I wonder why Romonosov? and rapbit are not present? XOTIC - Final Exit (Website) (Crossfade)
Frankly, I find their previous albums uninteresting. But this album says otherwise. You gotta hear the crossfade. COOL&CREATE - drizzly again (Website) (No crossfade available)
What, no crossfades? And as you can see, this is a re-release of their 10th CD, drizzly train, only this time, there are some few new tracks, and a remastered track 3 from sekken-ya. Dark PHOENiX - Flowers for Patchouli (Website) (Samples: see website)
Another Patchouli-centered album? Dark PHOENiX? Do yell! (note that this is not a typographical error) LION HEART - Mystical Chain OST + "MYSTIC RECORDS" (Website) (Crossfade 1) (Crossfade 2)
Y'know that game from C76? Mystical Chain? LION HEART? This is it. The OST for the game; also includes some tracks from other LION HEART games such as Endless Alice. Mehera Naruoto - Tomo ni (Website) (Crossfade: see website)
If you can remember guys who made ORIN SaGa from R6, they're back. They're dishing out UFO goodness, and what can I say, every single mainstream UFO track (Stages 1-6, Boss themes) are in this album. Gawd, I really love the sound of The Sealed Sky Route in this album. HELL YES. Some justice for Makai City Esoteria~! Crest - Ryugetsusho ~ Moon Over Mind (Website) (Crossfade)
If you loved the Flower Land vocal in kimino-museum's palette (from C77) and THE EVENING STAR from SOUND HOLIC's OMOI, chances are you're going to love this album. They're doing some justice for Wriggle's stage theme, so I guess this pretty much makes it something to look out for. IRON ATTACK! - Vampire Concerto (Website) (Crossfade) Tch. At least let me link to the image. /rage Anyway, your IRON-CHINO is here. Need I say more? Magnum Opus - 東方核煉獄 ~ Purgatory Nuclear fusion ~ (Website) (Crossfade)
If it's Takase, you know the drill. And it's unexpected for TAKASE HIMSELF HAS PLUGGED THE NEW ALBUM IN THE R7 THREAD. forestpireo - SPRING★ (Website) (Samples: see website)
These collab albums are really nice in the ears, don't you think? 狐の工作室 (Kitsune's Workshop) - 東方幻想界 -妖々夢の音- (Website) (Crossfade)
This is all the rage in this season's music scene. A must-have / must-listen-to album, I say. Rigged with orchestral majesty, you'll never go wrong. sound sepher - Touhou Gensou Shiten 3 "Deary" (Website) (Samples: see website)
They have a new album?! WHO THE HECK KNEW? *anticipates awesome* TAMUSIC - QUALIA (Website) (Crossfade: see website)
Aside from the ULTRA SEXY REIMU + VIOLIN on the cover, this I think, is the first vocal album on TAMUSIC's arsenal, so this is a hit-or-miss situation for TAM and his group. But I dunno, seems like a pretty good choice of vocalist, Misato's not that bad, y'know...though I wish he also collab'd with 3L, Momori or Nachi Sakaue, all are SYNC.ART'S frequents. Iemitsu. - Farewell Flower (Website) (Crossfade) (Sample Album Download)
These guys ninja'd me. Yeah, this CD's centered on TH10~12. The other CD, CURTAIN CALL, is centered on TH06~08. I like this one better due to the presence of sasa1 & JiNG*da*LaW. AQUA STYLE - Meikyou Shisui ~Fushigi no Gensokyo Original Soundtrack~ (Website) (Crossfade)
Though I SERIOUSLY haven't played the rogue-like yet (which is really disappointing, I'm a fan of rogue-likes *sob*) the soundtrack sounds really promising...well yeah, it's sasa1! C-CLAYS - 咲禮 -サクラ- (Sakura) (Website) (Crossfade 1) (Crossfade 2) (Crossfade 3)
More defiant arranges from a circle whose fame skyrocketed. Personally, I'd like that Samba x Mokou arrange. That's defiantly lovely, just like VaizravaNa. K2 SOUND / C-CLAYS - 花篝 HANA-KAGARI (Website) (Crossfade)
Just like the other album, Sakura, it's rigged with awesomely defiant songs. The opening track is awesome, it's Inter--ugh, Seirensen Stage 4, for crying out loud. The other tracks are pretty nice, too and that's why *IMO* they'd go head-to-head with the top circles. Thousand Leaves - GENESIS (Website) (Crossfade: Autoplay)
What made them think to do a full PC-98 album? Sure as hell wouldn't know, as I am distracted by the awesome rippin' ! 黒夜葬 - APOCALYPSE -穹劫黙示録- (Website) (Crossfade)
A full Mystic Square album. My gawd, and I thought they wouldn't! Girl's short hair - 幻想夜景 (Illusionary Magic) (Website) (Crossfade)
I just love how they made that Deep Mountain, Locked Girl & Fall of Fall vocals. Oh, and the guys from Sound CYCLONE are also present. IOSYS - 東方銀晶天獄 (Touhou Crystallized Ocean) (Website) (Crossfade)
After Captain Murasa's Ass Anchor & Conviction Yamaxanadu hit the airwaves, it's time for something what I can call "A DECENT IOSYS ALBUM". 電気妖精界 - Concerted Gensoukyou - 五線譜の上の幻想 (Website) (Crossfade 1) (Crossfade 2) (Crossfade 3)
A dash of nostalgia here, sounds something like those BGMs from RPGs like Final Fantasy or Chrono Trigger...I think that's a good sign. Hachimitsu-Lemon - Flutter Girl (Website) (Crossfade: see website)
Hey, I didn't see you guys in the list, but anyhow, there's been some massive surge of Touhou Bunkachou arranges lately, this one belongs in that group. Chorus, oriental-like arranges...you also know I'm a Honey Lemon fag. Liz Triangle - B1 (Website) (Crossfade)
Sexy website is sexy. <3 What would you do if you got music-raped by the final bosses? This might be it. You're stunned, and probably, might want to join them. CYTOKINE - The TOWER (Website) (Crossfade)
Other than the usual Linjin x aki combination, there's some other players here like Nana Takahashi, A~YA and SYO from SOUND HOLIC. Yep, it seems aki has done a better job this time, judging by the crossfade on their site. Kishida Kyoudan & the Akeboshi Rockets - ROLLING★STAR (Website) (Crossfade)
They got their names mentioned in the 2nd Kinema Kan and in the Flowering Night '09. Don't forget that awesome Murasin/AniPix PV. These guys are back, and with their new arsenal ready to hit the airwaves, they're sure to make a hit. Labels: Productions, Touhou Project |
