There’s not much to this theme, there’s no frills, no spills, it’s just a plain damn good track by itself.
Reverse Ideology: An action-packed theme befitting of a wild fight. Which is an even bigger achievement, I’d say. As epic as the two stage themes before it, but it manages it with a lot more subtlety. This is nothing short of a musical wonder, and it is made even better when playing in Stage 4 itself thanks to some magical sequencing, making the song fit perfectly with the stage itself. Magical Storm: The best stage theme in modern times. And yet it comes around as early as the midpoint, which is plain awesome, both when playing the game and for the stage itself. Again, a reminder that this is only a Stage 3 song – it too sounds like it belongs more in somewhere like Stage 5. You wouldn’t guess Stage 2’s theme was actually for Stage 2, either…both songs sound like they belong two stages further in a game.īamboo Forest of the Full Moon: A seriously epic tune, one of the most rocking in the entire Touhou series. You wouldn’t guess she was a mere Stage 2 boss from this theme. But it’s Sekibanki’s theme does it, thanks to those epic, new-to-DDC guitars. But this isn’t even the best remix it got in a fighter…ĭullahan Under the Willows: It was so, so tough to choose between this and its accompanying Stage 2 theme – both are terrific, especially when combined into the same stage. But this is a strong remix, a great twist on the original, even if the instruments aren’t too dramatic. Hartmann’s Youkai Girl (HM): The one good song amongst a lacklustre HM soundtrack, and even then it had the benefit of already being one of Touhou’s greatest songs. It’s a quintessential Touhou song of its era, with several of its most recognisable instruments featuring. It’s not the very best Stage 6 song in the series, but it’s got plenty of drama and atmosphere around it.
Starry Sky of Small Desires: Fortunately, Stage 6 is pretty long by Touhou standards in TD, so it gets a good semblance of a song. The song was so good, it was basically the ending theme as well! This is the peak of TD’s soundtrack, a real gem among a selection of largely forgettable songs.
This is an action-packed song with a difference, and instrumentation unlike mostly any other Touhou song. It comes served with TD’s methodically slow pace, and fits it well, unlike the Stage 2 theme from previous.ĭesire Drive: The point at which TD suddenly turns into a rave. Let’s Live in a Lovely Cemetery: The peak song in terms of Touhou’s turn of atmosphere from its recent past, this Stage 3 piece is a lovely, melodic tune. But at least it makes a good immediate first impression. Well, OK, you aren’t really, because it’s TD. I mean, when that drops, you know you’re in for something special. I mean, how can it sound so epic?! Especially the opening.
Spirit of Avarice: Comfortably the best title theme there has ever been.
