----

 

* Most of ZUN's work is classical\techno, but there are a few rock pieces here and there, try ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtCUuHCHKnA Good Days, Bad Days]''.

* ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DZJpTPHhsVs Greenwich in the Sky]'', from ''Magical Astronomy'', an album devoted to Maribel and Renko, is something you have ''got'' to hear for yourself.

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SFyBCEim8g O-Life Japan] delivers ''yet'' again, with a high-energy rendition.

** And [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFGhPT_FhNY here] is a supremely energetic vocal version.

** Or the one of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf1sYwIqER0 Shou's theme].

* A group behind several songs probably more well known than their actual circle name, Hatsunetsumiko is a lovely circle that provided the majority of the music used [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQ5OKfayGsQ&feature=related in] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Huwjrjm79eY&feature=related Touhou] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5R9dU6DBwcA Kinema] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC4FweExMRs Kan]. As good as these songs are however, this circle has many other songs that are well [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzJPsh5D9I8 worth] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tph7yzGepsk a] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7OIA5M55-s listen].

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WadpQXFbIIY This] remix known as Hakurei Shrine Neighborhood Association Marching Song should be ranked among the top remixes in all of Touhou, along with [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHe-gtjHwVU these] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdVZ_xCAm7A three] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viPZZYYTSIY remixes].

** This troper raises you [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvLlNZ_gVSo Remilia@Full-moon], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oL871Wbi1oc Sunshine, Catshine], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gAu7tAHWlI Border of Death], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVAcl2o-lTw Artificial Children], as well as the previously-mentioned ''Heartful Neko-romancer''.

** And don't forget [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2v43GX-k-4 Star-Colored Night Sky].

* It had to happen eventually... but someone had the genius idea of doing Touhou/Hip-Hop mashups. And somehow it WORKS. Between crossing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61FHqywA_XU Eminem with UN Owen], [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9MIQu6iiFs Outkast with Flowering Night], to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vy4osc9e3o Jay-Z AND Linkin Park with Withered Leaf] amongst other things...well, it shows how versatile the songs can be.

** There was a hip-hop version of Necro-Fantasy on Sound Sepher's "Cradle" album from waaaay back (pre-IN), so the idea isn't exactly new. The interesting thing is that the lyrics sound like they're partially borrowed from a Bemani track. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r5Yzf5wTV4 Necro-Fantasy].

** There're also the RED ZONE mashups, [http://youtu.be/bZPvQN_To4Y Scarlet Zone] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5c5taT_vjM4 Youkai Zone], which combines Red Zone with the Scarlet Sisters's and Koishi's themes.

* Every EWI instrument theme made. Case in point - [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrNVRMKHe7c Reincarnation].

* Indy rock circle Saitama Saishuu Heiki, or S.S.H. for short, has done a number of Touhou remixes. In addition to the examples mentioned above, they've got a remix of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ml1tYh6Wb7o Kaguya's theme Flight of the Bamboo Cutter ~ Lunatic Princess], and a magnificent little piece called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0GeRKtz9Us Detroit Marisa City].

* Anything and everything by [[The Power of Rock|CROW'S CLAW]]. Then again, they have songs called [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_N1ra6vqII Kick Your Ass] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qI3Qw7tGYl8 Parental Advisory Explicit Guitar], so [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|this troper's pretty sure they can make any music awesome.]]

* Here is a great [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Go4h4MJBjM compilation of damn near every windows boss theme.]

* On a more focused scale, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XYwVePPGhIk this] medley of the EoSD themes as made by hapi.

* What if one combined Cirno's theme with one of the best musics of the Mother series? ''Touhou Mother'' did it: It's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gANxUG4p2Gc Cirno's Unfounded Revenge], for the boss fight against [[Future Badass]] Advent Cirno.

* Speaking of ''Advent Cirno'' - a group of artists got together to make an "OST" for the doujin, and as is appropriate blended ''Touhou'' themes with tunes from ''[[Final Fantasy]]''. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6WcTFm7G3o For] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9jpW0i6ZDc example]...

** As long as we're unapologetically gushing, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTU5Udlv8ec the fortress stage 5 music] is suitably epic for a final stage to cross.

* On that note, what happens when you cross ''Touhou'' with ''[[Pokémon]]''? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMs93Qwbnt0 Some] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lMXbPo6hWAw thing] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-GQpdxOqs8 like] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EE15AKLAWiw this].

** It took a damn while, but I did it. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NP-p1Q6ZqBQ Now on Youtube.] -Patcheresu

** Also, from the same authou, there's a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxJavbRAo-0 2-part] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlWh41U01Pc medley] with the extra boss themes up to FW, with some other songs included, like the fan-phantasm themes from Mountain of Faith and Subterranean Animism.

* [http://www.youtube.com/user/Jesselejohn Jesselejohn] has a collection of PC-98 and Seihou remasters and remaster-like remixes, some of which are linked on the other pages.

* The fangame ''Fantasy Explorer Nitroid'' by Desunoya includes awesome songs such as the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-kxa32Aj0s World 4 Theme] and an amazing [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te97aVgGFic Final Boss Theme].

* Characters without stages also get their own themes: ''Hisoutensoku'''s fan-made final boss character Sasha Sashiromiya's ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7s5DPxN3cg The Fake History of Black and Shadow ~ The Fake with High Quality]'', and Rin Satsuki (the third player character cut from ''EoSD''), has ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqVGHOrhsmw Cherry-Flavoured Justice ~ Descending Red]'' both deserve a mention.

* Stuffman42 on [[YouTube]] goes above and beyond the call of Danmakufu and hires a professional composer. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8FjryAU2UU Stage 1] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByC3y7xg3eM Stage 2] bosses are sounding good so far!

** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MtlYLZlMww Yasora's Theme] and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQiVoc9vjR8 an Extension] from my channel.

** Masha isn't much of a fighter so her theme, ''[http://dizzy.pestermom.com/music.php?file=CSA01-Masha.mp3 Mushroom Land ~ Little Red Mushroom]'', is used as a credits theme. Still awesome, though.
