It's sad that there are people who don't appreciate Fuki at all as a vocalist. Some say she even ruins the group. What the fuck.

UNLUCKY MORPHEUS MOTHERFUCKERS!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIW-Q2moVbE)Since they are pretty much the only people that made a good arrange of Sariel's theme, I'm going to second that motion.
As redundant as it should be, I'm going to mention Demetori (http://www.kawachi.zaq.ne.jp/demetori/), one of the best sources for touhou metal arranges. As listening examples I will present you:
Septette for the Dead Princess arrange (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UDwwOwXWss)
Greenwich in the Sky arrange (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OyCWUZDW71U)
Luna Dial arrange (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRbgknEOvcQ) (one of the few that reach the awesomeness of the original) I know what you're thinking, Gpop. I don't care.
We have more than one post in this topic and no one has mentioned O (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2alQ6hJ3JiI)-Life (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui2503Jtog4)? Or nazz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4GLlhFx0Ww)-can (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgHLMcda0QY)?
Because they're already quite popular ? :VDidn't stop people from mentioning Demetori and dBu. It's favorite, not only underappreciated ones. Yes, I read the first post.
Rather than derail that entirely with references, I'll just poke around and ask if anyone knows a good circle who's done a nice, upbeat arrange of Phantom Ensemble - orchestral, but a good metal arrange wouldn't kill me either.
Sorry but I'm off to sleep for now, but for metal the first thing that comes to mind is UI-70's version:

I'm surprised there isn't a thread like this on the first page here (unless i'm just blind or something and missed it on multiple passes..)
IOSYS WOO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxyETWJmI_4) \o/
Don't really like that track (ugh those vocals) but IOSYS does indeed have some solid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIA1Erzn0kI) tracks (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcBXbN0GPZg) when they get away from stupid shit (assanchors).
Thanks to the member who posted the epic one somewhere here or I'd never have looked them up!
Although I get the feeling that I'm the only one who likes that sorta thing since I'm one of 3 people who seems to remember back when Goldfinger and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones were the best thing to happen to music since classic rock in my worthless, baseless, and idiotic opinion.
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
I'm saddened by all the metal groups and no mention of ~xi-on~!

My favorite group currently has to be WAVE (http://www.circle-wave.net/). They're the ones to go to for classical arrangements. Both of mt favorite arrangements are off their ARCHIV-EAST (http://www.circle-wave.net/product/archiveast/arch.html) album; This arrangement of Bloom Nobly, Cherry Blossoms of Sumizome (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-eensMhO_k), and this arrangement of Judgment in the Sixtieth Year ~ Fate of Sixty Years (http://www.youtube.com/watch#!v=VGqlEL9WQW0).

This Innocent Treasures remix. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7d4SjmIneQ) Calling it epic is an understatement.I agree, Its part of my trio of favourite Touhou arranges, along with this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLYWMoCvWI4) and this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poIPNhzm2Ks)
I have no doubts. This is my favorite. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xahT6PMNRR0)/thumbsup
Because I like organs, and fugues. It has nothing to do with Satori.
underground*petm@ster because I'm a commercial faggot
Right now I favor this remix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgoFS3TlkLQ) of Fires of Hokkai and Skyscraper.
Almost everything by Alstroemeria Records is good in my book.
I currently love Saigetsu, from their last album.
Also, FG, what's the name of the album? I can read Babaa Koishiteru on the cover, but I can't make out anything below that D:I can only copypasta its moonrune name D:
ババア愛してる!ババアまみれの東方アレンジ
Anyway, here is that godly remix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHQmcGiah0Q)
^ Added to my ever-growing Cosmic Mind Arrange playlist (http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=B87F480C071A884A). Note that the playlist is meant to be thorough as opposed to selective, so there are quite a few "meh" arranges on it, but I think most of the arranges are pretty darn good. Some of my absolute favorites from that list have already been mentioned, but I'm convinced they bear repeating, and so I will list them along with some others (hopefully) not mentioned yet:Code: [Select]ババア愛してる!ババアまみれの東方アレンジ
Anyway, here is that godly remix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHQmcGiah0Q)
My favorite arrange used to be SPARKIN', by SOUND HOLIC (which I linked to earlier in the thread).
Then I heard Shattered Emotion (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yw5jqaIbG60) and it just blew everything else out of the water. Nana Takahashi is a brilliant singer, and probably the reason I enjoy SOUND HOLIC so much. Her contribution to The Tower was by far the best part of the album.
THIS IS THE BEST FUCKING TOUHOU REMIX EVER. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APvEH-B7jaU)

My life is now complete. :*
Also, this is one of the very few vocal arranges that uses "Ayayayaya" as actual lyrics.
My favorite right now has to be this awesome metal-arrange of Parsee's theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4GLlhFx0Ww). Mainly because I love the part at 0:22... It's so beautiful. And then it just bursts out into metal and becomes godly :*Linked to that one back on page 1. nazz-can is GODLY. And therefore hasn't come out with anything in a while. :(

Quite a nice song if I might add.

So many more potential arranges to find and post in this thread~
Edit: Ugh I can't tell CROW'SCLAW and Demetori apart.
RegaSound has delicious male vocals. Never heard of them before but I like it.

Some people might not like it so much, but I thought it deserved some attention. I've always been a large fan of AQUAELIE and Xi so... yeah. (Yuki isn't bad either though.) I personally think that Wind God Girl arranges should be able to capture a person's attention through their sheer speed, but that's my opinion.
Heian Alien (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIhTcsqFuow)
Not sure about the older albums, but nowadays it seems many people (including myself) just don't bother with albums described as "vocal" albums, since there are just so many and it's not worth picking through all of them. It's the same reason why I only have a handful of albums from the last M3.
Speaking of vocals, I just hate it when people refuse to listen to anything but the "big names". Please, SYNC.ART's is not the only good vocal circle out there. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PDuRimmZ64)Crest, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4Oo-crA0dg) Who made a jazzy Greenwich in the Sky vocal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GhG777fb4A) (Which I was surprised since I've heard some of ASK's non Touhou vocals)

Here's a question that may be interesting.
Have you ever found a piece of Touhou music where you can't find a remix that you'd rather listen to than the original? For instance, I can't find a Fires of Hokkai remix that's anywhere near the quality of the original, nor one of Grimoire of Alice.
Myon managed to find a song that makes Luna Dial sound good. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtp2qFlOO30) Wow. First Captain Murasa and now Luna Dial? Maybe they're not as hopeless as I thought! :VGoing with the trend of stating one's own opinion and taste as fact and objective standard, Luna Dial is an effing masterpiece only very few arranges can reach in awesomeness, and that arrange you posted certanly does not.

And for you TOUHOU METAL fans, UI-70 is back with 2 new albums:Screw that. UI-70 hasn't released a good album since riddles covered in flowers (even if the UFO album does sound a little promising). Metal fans should instead look forward to the new albums by IRON ATTACK! (http://vgmdb.net/album/20131), CROW'SCLAW (http://paeg0013.crowsclaw.info/), 彩音 ~xi-on~ (http://vgmdb.net/album/20405) and Kissing the Mirror (http://www.aod666.com/VH.html).

This (http://vgmdb.net/album/20446) is the one album I'm looking forward to. It's like someone asked me, "We're making an album, so who are your favorite artists, singers, and Touhou themes?"That album looks awesome, can't wait to hear it.
This is how you remix U.N. Owen. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9liio0q8Jo)
Then you'll be happy to hear that Nhato more has one more track on Alstoemeria Records' C78 offering.

Argh! Alstroemeria Records and ALiCE?S EMOTiON were on Ustream earlier.Dangit, I always miss these things, despite making a mental note each day to check Alstroemeria's website. And just about the day after I stopped checking the site regularly, they announce and hold a stream ._.
Dang. I got to add AR to my RSS feed or something.

HOLY SHIT GUYS, C78 GETS TWO ALBUMS FROM WAVE (http://www.circle-wave.net/product/toho/index.html)Holy crap, must get.

One of the best circles, is officially dead.
Where is Love - Syrufit
02 Dream Bottom - Mei Ayakura
06 アモリタチテカミトミユ (Someone break this thing down.) 3L
Both of these are mind-blowing. The first is just straight-up rock and roll, and really well executed. The second, though, really surprised and shows just how versatile Sayuri Anpo's voice is. The verse has this almost chiptuney sound to it, and she sings cutely there, but then it breaks down into some pretty heavy prog trance, and her voice takes on this otherworldly powerful tone. She does some amazing things with her voice in the bridge, too. Syrufit put this song together elegantly. He really composed a song that brings out everything she can do.Eight and a half minutes of beautiful music.
Sayuri AnpoThanks for clearing that up. (http://vgmdb.net/artist/1210)
On a side note, I can't make any sense of the song's title. Something tells me it probably translates into French...
The song's based on Necrofantasia, if that's any help.Yeah, I know.
EDIT: Huh, it's a Shibayan arrangement, too. They're usually hit or miss and not as polished as this. They've come a long way.
EDIT: I haven't listened much to Shibayan, I'll look more into their music soon.
Here's a couple good examples of their work:Hmm, I'll have to check those later.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlrhFkZMAZ8 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlrhFkZMAZ8) (Also features Sayuri Anpo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHa4MYNal_E (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHa4MYNal_E) (Another Necrofantasia remix)
They play around with a number of different styles, but mostly do trance. They're pretty good.
Now I said earlier that this one seemed plain, but Cytokine did have a really good song in "Where is Love" so I'm expecting this one's good at least. Not great, not excellent, just good. I don't know Cytokine.
Same goes with Alstroemeria, but I know this circle, and I know they're good, so I'm expecting good stuff.
I just checked their track list and it looks like they got songs from "Harmony" in there.

I don't know if it was posted before, but this is a remix of yumeko's theme. I love her theme! It sounds so eerie and creepy at the start, but it gets more animated and cheerful from 0 : 48 to 1 : 11. I think the title "Doll's misery" doesn't suits the theme. This song doesn't reminds me of dolls. It's more about death, blood, misery... etc. But it's good enough for a great character like Yumeko. If she ever returns someday, this remastered version'd be perfect for her main theme.

And so with you two providing these arranges I question myself...why haven't I paid attention to this arrange?
It gives off a feeling of death...misery...madness. It's creepy...but amazing.
I always thought it was a sort of metaphor. That said I wasn't entirely sure how it quite fit her character. She's the greatest of Shinki's creations, and the most loyal. The pre-boss dialogue makes it quite obvious that Shinki didn't expect Yumeko to cut in, even if she trusted her to be quite capable in any situation (and is later startled to find that you were able to beat her). In terms of personality, she seemed more of a martyr than she was grim. Maybe doll refers to her status as a servant and misery just fits the theme of Makai being a world of demons. Or maybe I'm just over-thinking it.
all that awesome stuff
Way back in the thread, someone mentioned their dissatisfaction at most of the Touhou circles listing themselves as just "vocal" CDs. It extends into their circle cuts in the event catalogs. Sometimes you'll get people who are a little more specific, but most of the descriptions are "rock," "band," "vocal," or "techno/trance." It can be hard to find good new stuff.You say there's a lack of jazz and then fail to link any Azure&Sands (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhxH5E3bwr4) or SWING HOLIC. :V
But anyway, I am APPALLED at the lack of house and jazz in this thread. Everyone's going crazy about the rock or the metal or the hardcore or the classical or the what have you, but I guess it's up to me to represent. I mean seriously, not even a mention of Swing Holic besides a dig at A~Ya and her Engrishy voice? Swing Holic is good stuff, mostly because they actually use real instruments in their jazz. Another of my favorite jazz circles is Tokyo Active NEETs. They make killer medleys and their other stuff is awesome too. The best part is that the three live instrument players play the violin, the trumpet, and the keyboards. Here's their arrangement of Aya's theme (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fka3GHnyRJ0), but definitely check out the rest of their stuff.
Then, there's the ついったー東方部 or Twitter Touhou Club. Straight-up jazz piano arrangements. Check out Necrofantasia (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdRS3DtXh3I) for yourself, but I also recommend everything else they've done. It should be floating around Youtube.
There's also Rythmique which is pretty good. They do a mix of vocal and instrumental stuff but the vocals are usually pretty solid and they do everything from R&B to house to jazz to "New Jack Swing." Have some UNZAN BEATS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zqyE596HVA).
But I'm saving the best for last. This is probably my #1 favorite arrangement of all time period to the end of history, an all-out amazing house remix of Border of Life. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqELvm0-nF4) It's long, but the build-up is so worth it and everything about it is just sublime. And pretty much everything else Hatsunetsu Mikos does is golden. Sometimes you can barely tell they were based on video game music.
And O-Life Japan gets an Honorable Mention because they actually did an honest-to-goodness disco arrangement of Iku's Theme.
A-One is kind of like Sound Holic Lite but they do a pretty good job and they headed that amazing Toho Eurobeat CD so they have my undying respect. I wish more of it was uploaded to Youtube because China Gal is great.
I don't know if this has been posted yet, but I think I've found the best classical Touhou album ever.
I don't usually listen to vocal Touhou arranges, but a friend of mine linked me to this arrange of Nuclear Fusion/Hellfire Mantle:Liz Triangle is probably one of my favorite vocal groups out there. They currently hold the place of favorite Cosmic Mind arrangement (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WtDBojw868), and have an interesting Murasa crossover piece (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkamVc8MnbY).

And holy crap, it's fantastic. As shown by the lyrics (http://kafkafuura.wordpress.com/2010/10/19/ria/), it's about Utsuho when she swallowed Yatagarsu. It's also one of the few arranges I know to use sirens, which adds perfectly to the song. And then it all ends perfectly, literally falling apart. Definitely one of my favorite arranges of Utsuho's theme(s).

I prefer the Cosmic Mind on B2To each his own I guess. I happen to like the calming tone of White Lotus... (piano ver.).

Even the arranges of Voile and Apparitions?
You uncultured wretch.
Sorry if this is a little off-topic.
I'm learning to play the tenor sax, and I'm looking for notes for "Septette of the Dead Princess"
Yeah, Remilia's theme.
Does anyone know where to point me? And umm, being a rookie and all, I won't play the entire song.
But if I get the chance to do so, I'll record myself playing (audio-only) in gratitude.
Else I'll improvise. Thanks.
[size=78%]All I know of is some piano sheets on youtube. You could try learning it by ear. If you know your notes, scales, progressions etc and such you should be able to work it out your self. Build your own sheet music for it :D [/size]
[size=78%]Being able to play by ear is just as important a skill as reading sheet music.[/size]
Sorry for not replying in a while!
I'm working on it! Learning sax is pretty hard.
And now that XL Project's been mentioned:

*No Vocal / Just Instrumental
Great for background music.
This one hit it big on Nicovideo recently, and for good reason. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm12760467
