Touhou Project x Vocals x Rap x Pops x Electronica x Trance x Piano x House x etc...
That's how the Tamas describe the new album on their website.
Tbh I don't really remember what Charming Domination sounds like...and I don't remember the difference between Charming Domination and Charming Domination ~ Who Done it? either... So Ran or Yukari, I put a pic of both of them.=]
But I'm pretty glad TAMAONSEN put me back on track xD,, actually when I heard this arrange I remembered it a lot better than the original...whatever the original was really.o_o The first time I heard it, it may sound like a generic Trance track, smooth melodic dreamliness, but there's more to it than it seems. It still stays smooth and melodic but heck, this is the first time I really heard a melody out about that particular song. Towards the end there's even a slight trumpet insert, almost like a ZUN trumpet, along with a few other additions. I like how this song uses some delicate, but not overflowing Folk/World Music inserts to add some melody. That's what makes melodic Trance so good. Now I don't really feel frantic about this song, however it has its place in my collection for sure.
Also remember that it's Coro, who doesn't have that much experience with Techno or Trance stuff. I remember him more for the Classic/Classic + Vocals arranges and jazzy Doll Makers of Bucuresti. Unfortunately there are just 2 vocals on the new TAMAONSEN but nonetheless it still remains a pretty nice album to me. More soft-spoken than the previous ones but I appreciate the step towards a smooth Trance direction. Even though I hope to hear more Tama-vocals in the next album and more classical Coro x), but other than this track, the ones than stood out for me were an awesome Broken Moon and an awesome Alice Maestra. Broken Moon has so many good arranges right? Well I'll post it later because I already had izumi's arrange but it'll pop up somewhere later.
Enjoy~
3:16 just gets so awesome...
