This was the only C78 Touhou arrange album that impressed me in the crossfade, and that I waited for. Granted, I limited my search on albums containing Double Spoiler arranges, because I wanted to finally get that Nemesis's Stronghold arrange fix I'm waiting for since this game's release. Unfortunately, there were only four (yes, FOUR) arranges of that theme, neither of which impressed me. But what's really making me rage is the fact that this boring fan favorite Infinite Nightmare gets 14 (!), and many of those are pretty decent!
This album doesn't contain Nemesis's Stronghold either (in fact, the Infinite Nightmare arrange is the track I like the most of this album...), but it still amazing in it's own right. Featuring many different "softed-out" genres with alternating vocal and instrumental tracks, everyone should find a favorite. Although in my opinion, the instrumental tracks really lack in comparison...

Game: 東方風神録　～ Mountain of Faith
Arrange/Lyrics: RD-Sounds
Vocals: めらみぽっぷ (Meramipop)

A smooth jazzy Nitori arrange. Since I'm not too much into that style (and that theme), I can't tell if this is really something unique, but I don't think it is. Still a pretty nice, if unspectacular song.
