SC-88Pro - A Maiden's Illusionary Funeral ~ Necro-Fantasy (MIDI version) - 東方妖々夢 PCB OST

[@CassiusBenard1]

There's this odd melody coming in my left ear for the first 45 or so seconds that really sounds like it's supposed to be... arcade-y? It brings memories of the sound effects and tunes you'd get from arcade cabinets and early consoles. I feel it drives home ZUN's "Shikigami are Computers" narrative. This song is nothing more than a failed attempt by a computer to interpret the magnificence of Necrofantasia, much in the same way this song was falsely interpreted on our own computers until now. Thank you for putting so much effort into sharing this with the world.

The unintended symbolism is perhaps diminished by the fact that this is not the original version, but it is a pretty funny thing still.

This part is in the final song with a similar instrument, you just didn't hear it.

[@obito101man5]

the sound is called a "square wave". also in the ingame version it plays in the right ear channels.

Here we have honestly my all time favorite extra stage boss themes in Touhou. I've been enjoying many aspects about this song in both it's MIDI and WAV composition for years to the point where I think this version outclasses the phantasm version. I say that just because the initial usage of instrumentation really sells it for me more so than the phantasm versions which comes off as more an arrangement of the ones from extra, but ZUN's masterful enough to make both versions have their own charms. While I have many extra boss themes I love, this one is one I truly loving hearing and have not once tired of hearing the repeated melody over many times. This is what I love about Touhou music as it's something you can come back to and enjoy time after time again; makes these games as fun to play as they are to this day. I'm happy to be a Touhou fan. ^^

Again, commenting as I listen. 0:27 That string instrument is awesome, and wasn't there before I think 0:48 This is nice AND not ear breaking 0:55 I feel like the instrument is more fit for this than the original's 1:01 That side melody is even more pronounced here, which I love 1:22 That long back instrument is really pronounced too, this is great 1:25 Again with the side melody

I'm pretty sure the "string" is actually just a bass playing high notes. It should be in the original song, just a bit softer.

[@randomspartanhoe4501]

Bruh...ZunFlute sounds like high pitch UFOSax 0_0

[@randomspartanhoe4501]

And the String instrument sounds like the one that appears in Yukari's wav theme

[@guy_th18]

[@Durgemann]

This is the song that plays on Ran’s soundboard when you use her to run Doom.

5:30 my person second favorite extra stage boss theme ZUN's theme from 東方妖々夢 ～ Perfect Cherry Blossom. The first favorite is the Yukari Yakumo boss theme

少女幻葬は蓮台野の方が好きだけど1:35からの箇所がWAVよりも確実に好き
