Very nice to hear :D thanks man!
it is indeed a bit japanese-like, though th vocals are english, but hard to make out most of the time,
thats why I wrote lyrics to clear them up a little :) only the chorus though
I liked the Tone selection for each instrument, especially the piano tone... Loved the way 'Kick' kicks in.. and yes.. Brilliant arrangement!! Pretty intrersting track this is...
Well, sticking the metal riffage in there is a definite an unusual combination so I can see why you've put this under 'weird'.
Quite a nice tinkly intro and then some heavier, long bas notes that provide a good ambience. Odd vocals. Maybe vocoded a bit? But they're quite ethereal, which is good.
I guess the metal riffs fit though I'd say the drum sound when they come in needs to be heavier though perhaps you're not trying to turn it into a proper metal track. I'd still prefer a more powerful drum sound.
3:54 change is a bit strange. Not sure it fits the rest. Kind of like a new track now, with the metal really breaking out.
Then, 5:06, you bring the vocals back. Again: a strange combination of guitar and vocals so definitely an unusual track. I didn't love it but do like it and also respect the creativity and leftfield approach to doing things.
First of all thanks for your feedback and your kind words.
about the vocals sounding like they are being vocoded, is because I am using vocaloid, the voices you are hearing are actually not human but robots, so you are right about the vocoding bit.
the drums indeed are very weak, but also this track is very old, iI made it last year, (I started this album in 2013) and now I have a bit more experience with mixing and making kicks more powerfull and more clear.
at the last weird part, it's mostly because I ignore regular music patterns, I usually like to blend soft floating vocals with for example rough or hard music, and sometimes I don't, it's what I feel like making when I am working on it mostly.
dream pop,chill out,cinematic or...no matter what genre we categorize it ,beyond the categories & the word it was catchy & innovative .a better mix can make this even more impressive.

Eighteen,
I only mess with loops and all my songs are composed entirely of them. Nothing else. I say this to let you know I may not have the right to say this because of the professionalism of this song. It is one of those songs I thought I might not like and when I started playing it, it grabbed me right away and I found my self wanting more...LOL..Love it.
The intro was very nice. Track started clipping after that. I think adding a snare to the beat and lowering the levels a bit would liven this track up a lot.
Indeed you are right about that,
though I made this song quite a time ago,
now I have a bit more knowledge about mixing then I had back then, and the mistakes I make are getting less and less.
regardless thanks for the feedback :)
Welcome to the upload section of Looperman. All art from artists is appreciated. Kind of Haunting Vocals. reminds me of Sixousie Sioux in some ways. This is good though different and i enjoyed my listen.

yes I am kinda bummed about the sound quality myself, I wish I had a little more knowledge about mixing back then
:(

I've taken a quick listen to Sixousie Sioux, and indeed the vocals seem a bit alike.
Thanks for the feedback :)

Yeah to me at least, yours sounds really game-like.
The lead you used sounds a lot like the one I used in this song xD (its old so sound quality is terrible)
Starts at 0:15

That's maybe why I tought about game-like stuff maybe I dunno
