Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream
ElectriCITY
Endless Nine

Match 1:
PMD1 is actually the first video game I ever completed and I'm greatly nostalgic for it. The original Sky Tower is probably one of my favorite piece of VGM, Imo they did a very good job with this remake, love how they kept the original GBA bass, keeps a familiar feel while the new instruments keep it fresh. Still, I think I prefer the original, I like the characteristic crusty GBA/DS charm it has, gives it a lot of charm (though arguably that's most likely nostalgia).
On the other side, we have Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream which sound so intense and intimidating, like most PC-98 final boss songs really (which there are two of this year, not complaining lol). I personally prefer the unused version that has a more unorthodox chorus, but this is still very good (originally wanted to nom that, but while it's in the original Touhou 4 files, it's not accessible by conventional means, too bad.)
This might sound arbitrary (and it is lol), but I'm a huge sucker for PC98 Touhou music, so in the end I went with Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream for that reason.
Would have voted original Sky Tower over it though.

Match 2:
Both of these songs feel very atmospheric without being ambient. You can almost imagine the situation these songs play in despite never having heard them in the context of the game they're from, and on top of that they're both bangers.
I'll be blunt and say I went with ElectriCITY. This song is everything I like. Weird experimental electronic songs, breakbeat type drums, bass, and overall dark atmosphere giving song. I like every single second of this.
Partizans feels more alive (if that makes any sense) and hopeful. I think the piano, "windy" type sound and more orchestral feeling gives me that feeling. Some of the drums in this song remind me heavily of Cosmic Eternity from Sonic CD (example: 00:28).
I prefer the more mechanical, cold and darker sounding ElectriCITY than the more upbeat Partizans, but both songs are awesome. Hard match.

ToC Bonus Match:
Would have gone for Luna Ascension if it was the original, but it faces the same problem as Sky Tower for me: "Good remix, but original is better".
Started playing (or rather, reading) Umineko a few days ago, and it got me hooked fairly fast. Can't wait too see where and when all these crazy tracks like miragecoordinator and goldenslaughterer play in game.
Anyways, I really like the use of the piano and flute in that one, as well as how this orchestral sound isn't too deafening unlike most orchestral songs. Bells are a cool addition to the song too imo. This is just... really nice lol, like most Umineko tracks I've heard really. Haven't much to say about it except that it sounds light but exciting.

ElectriCITY > Partizans > Endless Nine > Faint Dream ~ Inanimate Dream > Sky Tower > Luna Ascension EX

Overall, great day, all songs were really good. Bracket B had a great start!
