Thank you, was just about to post that~
Also FanTBS made new (and their first I think?) Touhou-style album formed like a game.
You can get most of it here: https://fantouhoumusic.bandcamp.com/album/immense-will-of-a-thousand-swords
There's also a Phantasm stage hidden behind an ARG, you can try to do it yourself or just cheat it, here: Spoiler: https://youtu.be/xv1rAEYJO9UEDIT: Also khirio added stage 5 and stage 5 boss theme to Acqusitive Invader album.

nevermind, i actually like jentha more:

khirio released the yt video for acquisitive invader stages 4-6

Gilde:
Acquisitive Invader's new ED and credits themes are respectively called "Half-Summer Hallucination" and "Peaceful Neuromancer".

The Stage 6 through to Ending tracks were partly composed via AI!
According to Khirio's track descriptions, the S6 boss theme includes Touhou Kaikidan from HRtP, Explorer from Megami Tensei II (somewhat known for its similarity to Utsuho's theme?), 92_Lullaby from Amadeus Code's music AI, and Daisy Bell (the HAL9000 song :V) by Harry Dacre. The ending theme includes 149_Latinjazz from Amadeus Code's music AI.

The Stage 5 boss theme also includes The Silver Scale, said to be the first-ever piece of computer music.

Very nice and thanks for the comments.
I wonder if MANA-001's theme was always supposed to be partially composed by an AI, even despite the project's theme and abbreviation. It's definitely my jam also so very well done on Khirio's part, I do also hear some of the references you've mentioned, at least the Touhou HRtP part roughly middle in, using PC-98 fonts helps as well, it was worth the wait.
EDIT: Explorer is the intro/background. And now I hear the Daisy Bell as well. Lyrics for those curious

--- Quote ---Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do

I'm half crazy all for the love of you

It won't be a stylish marriage

I can't afford a carriage

But you'll look sweet upon the seat

Of a bicycle built for two.

EDIT2: Yeah, Silver Scale is literally referenced in the intro to Ryuko's theme. Amazing how the same melody can sound so different with proper instrumentation that fits it. It kind of reminds me how certain songs in Sid Meier's Civilization series might not sound like anything like its originals, but they technically are based on each other.

I also wonder if the Stage 1-4 bosses' themes on the album or their inclusions are also an AI or a computer reference, just a very well hid ones. I imagine Batgirl's echolocation could me somehow related maybe?

EDIT3: I'm pretty sure ZUN got inspired by Explorer for both Nuclear Fusion and Strawberry Crisis, which is fine and it makes even more sense referencing it here with those added PC-98 instrumentation and vibes. It's almost like MANA-001 is supposed to finish the trio with these two scientific final bosses.

Gilde:
Oh my god the choir in mana's theme LITERALLY sings those two bars of Daisy Bell. ZUN was frickin' on to something when he talked abt wanting to put lyrics in Okina's theme, this part is making me pump my fist in the air

EDIT: LOL the video description had a source list the whole time, silly me ;w;
Stage 4 boss's theme borrows from Sylvia by Focus and King of Twilight by Nektar. ( ・ー・)👍
