東方 Folk ~ 命蓮寺開闢式 [Floating Cloud]

"The girl woke up early for her usual morning chores, which included cleaning, maintenance, training, alongside a healthy dose of yelling."

You expected C89 releases, but it was me, Floating Cloud! ...You know, beginning a description like that sounds awfully familiar somehow. Makes a fellow wonder, now does it. ...Stop looking at me like that, please.

...*ahem* That extremely suspicious way of beginning a description aside, let's start things for real now, shall we?

So I've been having a dilemma of sorts lately, what with so many different albums coming out along with so many interesting tracks and genres flowing and flowing endlessly from the eternal spring of woe that we call Comiket. Problem is, I actually can't choose. Sounds like an average issue, I know. And it is an average issue, no denying that part. The thing is the fact that there's a huge amount of Piano/Instrumental/soothing goodness on the Touhou side this time around, and while I'm quite contented by that fact, there's the problem that I feel like it will become a bit redundant if I upload four or even five Piano tracks in succession. Sure, I know that a lot of you people probably wouldn't even be bothered by that, but I feel like I need to keep a certain diversity in my schedules, both for those that like it diverse, and for myself who wants to upload a variety of different genres.

This in turn made me turn myself toward this circle here. I realized that I hadn't uploaded from them yet, plus it's been a while since I uploaded any Folk, so it was a welcomed idea for my mind. Let's just say that it works as a way to fill in a hole while I try to scratch my head a bit further to find at least a few C89 tracks to share.

Of course, saying that Floating Cloud only is here to fill holes would be a huge understatement, that and an absolute insult as well. I've been meaning to upload from these guys for quite a while now, but the usual dilemma of worries and such didn't give me the occasion to do so. You won't find Folk as fine as this, plainly put. It's on a whole different scale than most, only on competition with the likes of O-LIFE JAPAN and a few other candidates. There's just something so fresh with their tracks, and I can proudly admit that I've never been disappointed in them in all the years that I've known them, which is a pretty enormous feat I'd say. Each albums is like a welcomed fresh breeze of wind, which enters your lungs (or ears, whatever) and then smoothly escapes while leaving you with a most satisfied expression.

Anyway. I'd like to address a matter regarding my choice of tracks here. It's not my favourite track. That honour goes to the seventh track, which was a pretty neat arrangement of Demystify Feast that made me tap my feet like these times where we go to these legendary Sap houses. The reason why I gave this track a go instead is quite simple; this theme is underrated. Awfully so. It's by no means a fantastic theme, and I used to feel that way pretty intensely only but recently. After a lot of exposure to it, however, I just came to enjoy it. It's festive, happy, and it just manages to give me a smile. And this arrangement made me even better, which just inclined me to go and upload the thing. Oh, and also there's not enough Ten Desires on this channel, and I shall remedy to this blasphemy in due time. This is only but the first step.

Anyway, I suppose that I'm done here. It was a fun upload to work on, and the music gave me tons of needed optimism. The picture also seems fitting, so I'm in overall satisfied.

I'll try my best to upload some C89 content in the near future, but don't jump your guns yet. Maybe that it'll come once the event is drying out, who knows... Take care, people.
