I guess something's better than nothing. Fate of Sixty Years is never too late to be welcomed, but needs more TD boss music. :/

This is awesome. Making music and getting drunk ... ZUN: Livin' the dream.

Just a reminder ZUN already did a remix of Shiki's theme. (http://youtu.be/fic5iWrz_Ks) He's actually done a few songs outside of his own releases, like the Speed Fox remix of PCB Phantasm stage's theme.

(Also a Kagome-Kagome, a theme for Rinnosuke, and a second theme for Shinki)

Yaaay. This will be an enjoyable year for Touhou after all! \o/

Though, considering what happened with Trojan Green Asteroid, it will probably be difficult to listen to the CD online. Hope to hear some good tracks! And more Mary/Renko times!

I'll count the days until the official release. I have to get my hands on this new CD as possible  :ohdear:

But to be honest, I really didn't expect another music album this year. Not that it's a bad thing, one of the best things about the games is actually the music imo. And besides that, I'd like to know more about Gensokyo itself and even more stuff about all the characters..

but hey, LET'S GET DRUNK AND CELEBREATE THIS NEW ALBUM  :toot:

The previous music CD ZUN released was a slight disappointment. I didn't quite like the remaster of stage songs, oh well.

Ah! Yeah, that's true, too. Could've been "I've been spending my time working on a game so revolutionary that it will warp spacetime just to turn it on" or the like. "Sorry, too busy being wasted" is refreshingly honest.

I particularly like the cover art here!

And add Mari's new outfit to the list of things I wish was in create.swf along with Renko's UFMJ/TGA outfit. :B

Looking forward to this, especially because of Unfound Adventure.  :)

Oh ZUN. :D

Keep being awesome, we like you that way!

inb4speculationsfornextouhougame. When was summer Ket again, August? A demo at Winter ket (unless he escapes to the mountains like he does every year) and full game 2013 Reitaisai would be "logical" but since logic doesn't applies to ZUN (as proven here) we can only randomly keep guessing.

Even if we can't listen to the OST on the Internet, we can at least listen to the remixes of the new themes.

Post by: The Hating Hater on July 25, 2012, 10:13:39 PM
Five originals
One from SA
Two from TD
Unknown X ~ Unfound Adventure and Fate of Sixty Years.

On the cover, I see grapes, a peach, and I can't make out the third object.

Post by: Drake on July 25, 2012, 10:22:51 PM
A bamboo shoot.


In any case, I really can't wait for more writing about Maribel and Renko. Magical Astronomy was released even before I came into the Touhou fandom and ended on a cliffhanger. When Trojan Green Asteroid came out and it hit track 5, it was basically the best feeling ever, confirming so much speculated about the series. Even this short wait to the next volume is grueling.
Title: Re: ZUN's Music Collection Volume 7: Neo-Traditionalism of Japan
Post by: KaiserKnuckle on July 29, 2012, 01:00:49 AM
Long story short for a some people, the album relates to the tales of Izanagi. And the fruit on the cover are what he threw into Yomi to save Izanami.

(dayum touhou wiki you are fasFBI'd)

Nice... except that it seems like Maribel has a hot air balloon under her skirt on the cover.

Interesting. I gather he might want to finish up WaHH before continuing the game story in any case, but a load of new original tracks is always welcome.

Post by: RegalStar on August 05, 2012, 03:59:09 PM
Unknown X and Heartfelt Fancy are enough to make this album a win for me. Anything else done great would be just like a bonus.

"I did not have time to make a game this year, as I was too busy making music and getting drunk."

But hey, looking at the cover art..
He has improved his skill..  ;)

That aside, I'm still guessing what the Sealing Club's story will be about this time in this album..
Title: Re: ZUN's Music Collection Volume 7: Neo-Traditionalism of Japan
Post by: Vyrien on August 09, 2012, 04:10:20 PM
Tracklist looks great, although I was hoping for some Satori Maiden ~ 3rd eye. Heartfelt Fancy is almost as good :3

Has it really been nearly a year since 10D demo came out?  :o

Indeed. Track 6.
Title: Re: ZUN's Music Collection Volume 7: Neo-Traditionalism of Japan
Post by: Serela on August 12, 2012, 12:07:23 AM
Track 6 <3 (Track 1 and 2 sound interesting as well.)

Although. Don't skip out on his mix of 10D's extra stage theme. I was about to move on after half of it, and then out of nowhere "Holy shit what is this guitar was ZUN listening to heavy metal or something"

I mean, I don't even know if I liked or not, I was too busy staring at the mp3 after it started.

edit:Oh hey it's in the album's Unfound Adventure (from 12.3) too.

Let's Live In a Lovely Cemetary or whatever the 10D stage 3 theme is sounds a whole more lot snazzed up in this version, I like it.

Overall I think this new album is lovely.

It seems like the story is continuation of Trojan Green Asteroid

This new music album is love to my ears. Track 6 is, by far, now one of my favorite Touhou songs.  For some reason it just gives me a feeling of nostalgia to... something?

Either way, ZUN's music talent never ceases to be extraordinary. <3

finally finished summarizing the story (http://msnkkan.blogspot.com.au/2012/08/havent-you-got-eyes-in-your-head.html), took much longer than i expected

probably my favourite story of Mari and Renko so far

I agree, especially Youkai Back Shrine Road and Let's Live in a Lovely Cemetery, ZUN did a really good job with these two in my opinion.

Izanagi Object (Track 6) is also really interesting.

probably my favourite story of Mari and Renko so far

I read the part about Mari saying she saw Hell and all I could think was "LIBERA TUTUME EX INFERNIS".

I am such a nerd. :getdown:

None of the new themes can be heard on the Internet, right?

EDIT: I managed to listen to the new tracks in some way.  Anyone notice that the first and second themes sound like Heian Alien and Interdimensional Voyage of the Ghostly Passenger Ship respectively?
Title: Re: ZUN's Music Collection Volume 7: Neo-Traditionalism of Japan

Post by: Cabble on August 18, 2012, 05:49:41 AM
This track makes me have more hope in ZUN, but he has a long way to go to get his music back to great again with his new style. I'm hoping he'll be able to get it great as he did with his old style.

That being said, I only hated one track on this album, which is a big step up.  (It was youkai back shrine road by the way)

I couldn't pick a best one though. Pretty hard.

All of the new tracks can potentially be my new personal favorite  :*
Can't wait to establish my paypal (or whatever that can be used for online shopping) so i can actually order the CD's to my country (damn, what i wouldn't do to live in japan right now)
