Pretty please list the songs in the future. You wouldn't need further newlines for that.
Not that I don't know most of them without looking it up, but I have to mentally rewind through the games to recall the exact song, and there's no good reason to do so.

Silent Beast Spirits (WBaWC)

The Lamentations Known Only by Jizo (WBaWC)

Returning Home From the Sky (UFO)

IN's boring, I like the game but all the track sounds the same

>>23796011
Pretty good taste. I think Illusionary Joururi is an underrated song. I kinda disagree with the IN thing. They do share the same kinda feeling but one thing I think IN tracks are great at is conveying a feeling of urgency, sorta like making you stress out over the little time you have.

Common picks I think, but I'm glad my favorites are popular
Close picks are Dollmaker of Bucuresti and Extend Ash ~ Person of Hourai. My favorite track overall is Nostalgic Blood of the East. I think IN's my favorite OST.

>Common picks I think
Definitely not Iris from HrtP, but I really dig it as well.

Have you listened to ZUN's MIDI arrange of it? Really adds a whole other athmosphere to the song:

Scarlet tower - Eastern Dream (EoSD)

I had thought about similar ranking some time ago, but I forgot what my finalized results were, so I rapidly came up with this. Some were easy picks, most faced fierce competition.
I wasn't expecting this much EoSD while writing, but Luna Dial's spot does feel a bit of a filler: I find it better than all the other Boss 5 themes, but I don't think it's particularly outstanding.

>>23798724
Very nice list. Your picks for stages 2,3 and 4 are my second favorites.

>>23796011
I fucked up,'The Lamentations Known Only by Jizo' is not Boss 1 Theme but rather Stage 1 Theme. Here's the emendation,
>Stage 1
The Lamentations Known Only by Jizo (WBaWC)
>Boss 1
Ghost Lead (TD)
>>23797528
In the game context, yes, it does make sense but I can never find myself listening to IN ost, just not for me I guess..

>>23796011
I can't believe the shit you're spewing. IN has the best soundtrack out of all the games by far.

Also going only by non-PoFV Windows mainline games as well:
>Main Theme
UFO - A shadow in the blue sky
>Stage 1
DDC - Mist Lake
>Boss 1
UFO - A Tiny, Tiny, Clever Commander
>Stage 2
LoLK - The Lake Reflects the Cleansed Moonlight
>Boss 2
IN - Deaf to All but the Song
>Stage 3
PCB - The Doll Maker of Bucuresti
>Boss 3
SA - A Flower-Studded Sake Dish on Mt. Ooe
>Stage 4
PCB - The Capital City of Flowers in the Sky
>Boss 4
PCB - Phantom Band ~ Phantom Ensemble
>Stage 5
PCB - Mystic Oriental Dream ~ Ancient Temple
>Boss 5
UFO - The Tiger-Patterned Bishamonten
>Stage 6
MoF - Cemetery of Onbashira ~ Grave of Being
>Boss 6
DDC - Inchlings of the Shining Needle ~ Little Princess
>Last Spell/Succeeding Theme
PCB - Border of Life
>EX Stage
IN - Extend Ash ~ Person of Hourai
>EX Boss
UFO - Heian Alien
>Ending
WBaWC - The Animals' Rest
>Staff Roll
EoSD - Scarlet tower - Eastern Dream

I also agree with others that most stages/bosses have 1~3 songs that could possibly be considered better if I were in a different state of mind, and there are a few which are virtual ties.

>>23799394
I also have similar feelings for Boss 2, and I could also see September Pumpkin as a favorite.

>>23798930
It's certainly a whole another sound, but I'm not a big fan of those MIDI arrangements. I love the original OST's high pitch and the focus on the main melody. OG Iris is one of the most unique 'calm' tracks I've heard, MIDI Iris is calm too, but OG Iris I'd describe as outright 'still'. Probably because the backing melody is so muted, making it feel like there's only the high-pitched main one. Makes me think of evaporating water in a vast, still expanse drowned in bright sunlight. Pretty unique.

IMHO EoSD's songs had a common flaw of being less well mixed, which noticeably affects a few of the songs, particularly:
>Apparitions Stalk the Night
>Beloved Tomboyish Girl
>Lunar Clock 〜 Luna Dial
>Crimson Tower ~ Eastern Dream...
It's hardly

Seriously?
You couldn't even be bothered to make a half-assed retort, or post some tangential image, or something of the sort? The best you can do is an ellipsis?

I know bumping is hardly an alien concept here, but you can do better than that.

The only reason I'm so particular is because it seems to be a unique bump to this thread, so I think you actually want the conversation to continue. But if you just spent a few minutes thinking about the topic and made an original statement, that would be MUCH more likely to continue the thread with new discussion while you're not watching it.

A little bit of effort goes a long way.

>The sea where one's home planet reflects (LoLK)
I think I should clarify this.
In a vacuum, this is the Stage 6 theme I like the most. However, at the end of the day, it's just a slowed down version of Pure Furies.
Many people like this approach ZUN used in the latest games. Although I found the combination in LoLK to be tasteful (especially thanks to the contrast with Stage 5/Clownpiece and Junko's boss fight), I can't help thinking it's overall "lazy". You're basically getting one less track. There are plenty of good compositions that prove Stage 6 themes can have merit and don't have to be throwaway warmups.
So, if I were to choose an "original" Stage 6 theme, I'd say:
Fires of Hokkai, from UFO.
