Touhou, reverse chronological:
Dammit gwern I'm crying now
Incidentally, have you got (in your infinite notes) a list of particular circles you recommend? I have the Torrent of Doom, of course, but actually finding interesting stuff inside that is non-trivial and basically boils down to lucky encounters on YouTube.
I know, right? I was so sad that /r/TOUHOUMUSIC didn't appreciate it nearly as much as me. (I realize I come off as an inhuman cynic, but that just means that when something does break through to my atrophied heart, it affects me all the more.)
Hm, not really. However, because of my in-progress analysis of Touhou music I can at least give you an idea of what populates my own personal collection using
exiftoolto extract metadata; by artist:By album:
So awesome, thanks for this.
I do recognise a couple there. Public Service Announcement: everyone who hasn't already, go listen to 夢裡櫻花 ～ perfeitas flores de cereja/unplugged. Especially track 6.
Are the descending number prefixes by the albums your own playcounts? Or something related to that analysis?
In each case, they're the number of tracks in my collection. So I have 293 files, and of them, 3 are from the album 東方志奏 12th Spell -Trick Shooter-, while 1 is by the artist "高瀬". (The metadata is not perfect so you can see some files had empty fields and some obviously-identical albums or artists are broken up among slightly different versions, eg. Museum of Marasy.)
At least half the music from the Ar Tonelico series, especially the hymns. Given that music plays a large role in the games, this is perhaps to be expected.
Just for an example, try EXEC_PURGER.
Ar Tonelico is the best game music no-one has heard.
A niche taste within a niche taste, but have you tried the music-box arrangements from KaraCola Hymmnos Orgel Collection? I find them far more compelling than I'd have expected. Here's the same piece.
Strongly agree, especially for "Flip" songs of the third game -- "EXEC_FLIP_ARPHAGE./" "EXEC_COSMOFLIPS/." and "EXEC_FLIP_FUSIONSPHERE/." The startup for my desktop is a small bit of EXEC_CHRONICLE_KEY/. For the most part, they are superbly dramatic.
