Some game companies try to make their games seem cool (and to a certain extent, succeed) with relatively minimalist titles like Flower, Wet, Halo, or Bayonetta. Touhou, it would seem, like to take the opposite approach. Touhou Kaeidzuka: Phantasmagoria of Flower View?? Sure, why the hell not... After all, when discussing flower views - in general - the quantity of phantasmagoria is usually my foremost concern. Mr. Cabbage entered this in DoD's free month all the way back in May of last year. He writes:
"It's funny about the Touhou series, though - when I decided to do this mix, I actually had no knowledge of Touhou. My only encounter with the song was the YouTube meme (http://youtube.com/watch?v=RCMhKcjktPM), and it was only after I started the remix that I found out about Touhou and that the song was even from a game. However, I found out that Touhou has some freaking amazing music and it is possible that I will do more."
This mix is a little less spastic than the YT vid in question... but only a little. Breakneck synth riffs meld with unison guit chugs before breaking into a speed metal rendition of the theme in question. Don't hold your breath on this baby, because Jon is definitely not gonna give you a chance to come up for air. In just over three minutes, this cut packs in a ton of riffage, synth and guitar alike. If Touhou's game's are "Bullet Hell" shooters than this is a "Note Hell" ReMix, matching projectile count with rapid fire frequencies & textures. Great work from Kidd Cabbage.

But what REALLY made me love this mix was the one measure of The Trooper by Iron Maiden thrown in :)

I agree with Bahamut about the mix being a bit short, though. A little more breakdown/soloing might have helped.

This is pretty frentic stuff, although it feels a bit on the short side.

BTW::shock:
Give me /us a link to the place where this badass music exists so as we might download it good sirs.

Anyways, Touhou music is awesome, and I am surprised more Touhou mixes haven't made their way to this site.

Why must you ruin your ears like that?!
Here, it's much better alternative than phil. Trust me, or better yet here; if you're gonna wreck your ears do so gloriously...
But yeah that's another thing about PoFV, a lot of the tracks can get stuck in your head easier where as the tracks in the regular touhou games are varied enough that it doesn't happen as often.
Example,
Lord Usa's Elemental Flag - Tewi Inaba's Theme
versus
Satori Maiden - 3rd Eye - Satori Komeji's Theme
Not to say it's a bad thing, but moderation is key for a lot of things to stay enjoyable imo...
