It's hard to pick something specific, so I'll go with the wishy washy reply of "depends on the genre"
If you're after Orchestral, like what >>14906901
posted, O-LIFE.JP or xi-on would be a good pick.
If you're after Folk like what >>14906994
posted, Siva Speaklow, Casket,Machikado Mapoze and some tracks from Aqua Style are nice.
If you're into Techno/Denpa/Synth beep bop things like >>14906956 then I can't help you since those only give me a headache
My best recommendation for acoustic albums is NeutraL's Acoustic Shooter as well as TaNaBaTa,MAIKAZE or Miskyworks
For rock bands, BUTAOTOME is hands down the best band you can get.
Regarding Jazz, there's Accord on Codes,Boston Touhou Gakudan, TOYKO Active NEETs, Jazzy Onion, Twitter Tohobu, Tomato Gummy, Mirror=Mirror
Shibayan Records for Bossa Nova,
IRON ATTACK, Crow's Claw,VAGUADGE for heavy rock/metal
Marmalade Butcher for Post-rock
Barrage Am Ring, Destructive Angel,Kissing the Mirror and Undead Corporation for heavy metal
After that there's bands like Foxtail-Grass Studios/Fox Laboratory which I guess fall under the category of acoustic
There are probably more that I could think of if I kept staring at my screen for a quarter, but I really don't feel like doing that

Speaking about this, do you consider downloading this http://www.nyaa.se/?page=view&tid=720034 to be worth it or is the lossy torrent enough? Lossy torrent is composed of divided .ogg tracks which is perfect for playlisting but with a rather weak bitrate (between 150 and 280 kbps for your average track) while the lossless is MUCH heavier and does not feature per track division.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUWgWx7XgJM
Could >>14907271(or any of you) provide good artists that actually play an instrument?
O-LIFE.JP sounds good (i've got the yuuka album), but it sounds quite "digital" to me. Iron Chino is a hit or miss to me, there are tracks that only the guitar sounds natural, with every other instrument dead. Some Shibayan tracks are awful, it barely pass as Bossa at all, but i've learnt about unity-gain, and it made me glad. Fox Laboratory is pretty good.
Can you recommend some hard rockish albuns as well? I think "Heavy Metal Touhou" from 5150 is good(besides the awful engrish. all the other albuns sounds bad too). KONEKODAKKAIYA is another one that I like.
>>14907523
東京アクティブNEETｓ with their Jazz and Philharmonic arrangements.
Here's a song I uploaded taken from their marvelous Philharmonic albums. I possess the original albums and I cannot recommend you enough to purchase them if you can:

As an addendum to >>14907569's. Machikado Mapoze (recently disbanded, but resurrected as Ringing Volcano) was previously mentioned

I always feel awful because I'm too apathetic to discover new artists or albums. I've not looked into any folk before but I like >>14906994. I've found that good drum and bass releases have dropped off; I really liked circa 2010 Alstroemeria and Alice's Emotion (Captain Murasa, Last Remote) but they haven't done anything like that in a while.
Does anyone know of good ambient synth circles similar to Aphex Twin? I revisited some of his music recently and have been enjoying it alot.

Heavy rock: MisteryCircle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYrm6g_jaDo
Also, 回路-kairo- and サリー , though these aren't that heavy.
Another doujin circle, but not 東方 - ECE-SMZ. No vocals, but heavy on synth.
>>14907371
Wouldn't 150~280 kbps (variable, I assume) bitrate .oggs, as opposed to 150~280 kbps .mp3s? iirc .ogg preserved quality better than .mp3s at the same bitrates.
>>14908850
*Wouldn't the .oggs you mention be of an acceptable quality, as opposed to 150~280 kbps .mp3s? iirc .ogg preserved quality way better than .mp3s at the same bitrates.
Gonna push Foxtail Grass Studio & friends out there more specifically some of the collaborations between Foxtail Grass Studio, Mikan Box, As/Hi and Forest306.
They are very special albums well worth the trouble of tracking down. They're all great circles individually (also worth looking into) but combined they create some incredibly rich and soothing albums.

It does, IIRC of all the lossy formats mp3 is pretty much the worst choice either way, both opus and ogg are just superior on the quality spectrum with more or less the same sizes.
>>14907371
Kind of depends what type of music you listen more to. If orchestral, natural/acoustic instrument music mainly you ALWAYS want lossless the loss in quality is pretty easy to hear on a decent speaker setup. Even the circles who use instrument samples instead of live instruments tend to pick very high quality ones.
>>14907569
>I possess the original albums and I cannot recommend you enough to purchase them if you can
Only one out of those I really liked was their PCB cover, I'm looking more forward to their albums from now on though since they've just exited the big 3 Touhou hell.
>>14908600
>Machikado Mapoze (recently disbanded, but resurrected as Ringing Volcano)
Going to back up this anon on this suggestion, Sakana Nakasako's stuff is some of my favourite out there and the first album they put out under the Ringing Volcano group was easily their best work to date.
https://soundcloud.com/nakazako/rvmc-0002-01
They probably have one of the largest commands of various musical styles far as acoustic composers I've seen, most of which is under the Machikado Mapoze name. But a lot of the older albums are rather hard to find for purchase or download now.
Oh boy it's this thread again

>the older albums are rather hard to find for purchase or download now.
Which of their older albums? Otokei has the v0 .mp3 re-encodes of the lossless collection; catalog numbers MM-01 through MM-14, if you consider these to be their older albums, but it has some of the un-catalogued ones missing as well as releases past the MM-17 mark.
The rest you could probably try and scrap together from baidu and other sources, unless you've already done that.
Or did you mean lossless DLs / Sakana Nakasako's other stuff?
I'm reminded of Yoshiki Ara's symphonic/orchestral stuff 'Charisma Type' series under the Hobby Atelier Carrotwine label which are also great. Most of them aren't even listed on VGMDB.
You'll probably be able to find Type-R and Type-A quite easily since they're in the lossless collection I think. But Type-S and Type-M are harder to track down, however Ara sells them and most of their stuff from their official site, you can also find samples, well worth checking.

>>14911078
I'm mostly talking about the MM-15+ onwards and assorted stuff during the early 20's so not really that old but close enough.
I'd prefer to go for lossless rips for archiving purposes the difference in quality with acoustic instruments is too noticeable for me but I haven't seen much of the missing ones in the way of lossy or lossless.
Damn shame the juke explosion over in Japan never really reached the 2hou fandom.
There's this gem, though.

One of the better Shibayan tracks, also one of the first i heard from him so might be a little nostalgia.

>>14917520
Oh hey, I didn't even know they did a compilation collection. Thanks for the link anon that is going on my shopping list now it should help me finally fill out the holes in my MM collection.
May as well take the time to shill Sakana's new circle too, different site but you can also buy direct.
