"To Shinju Forest" for Stage 1 builds this lush fantasy atmosphere before the curtains of bullets start flying. "Requiem of the Sky" for the True Last Boss is devastating, layering urgent strings over pounding rhythms. "Like a Night of Falling Stars" for Stage 4 has this bittersweet quality that hits different when you know how punishing that stage actually is.
The boss theme "Levi-Sense" gets reworked into something even more intense. "The End of the Sacrifice" on game over feels earned after everything. If you have any love for Cave shooters, this arrange album is where Mushihimesama's music truly gets to breathe.
