【album collection】EXLIUM 【vocaloid】
Here's an album that literally just shipped to me today while I was at school! EXLIUM is an electronic/dubstep/trance/other collaboration album from AVTechNO and Dog Tails, two Vocaloid producers who go REALLY well together. It was released in 2013 at THE V@CALOID MASTER 24 event.

EXLIUM is the name of their collaborative unit, which is also the name of the album, which is also the name of the first track. Here's the tracklist:

01. EXLIUM - EXLIUM
02. Dog Tails - Reality
03. AVTechNO - 481
04. Dog Tails - Breaker
05. AVTechNO - 243
06. Dog Tails - Divided
07. AVTechNO - TEAR
08. AVTechNO - Stillness
09. AVTechNO / Dog Tails - NEL (*** Remix)
10. AVTechNO / Dog Tails - TEAR (Tearless Remix)
11. AVTechNO / Dog Tails - Advance Tech No (Disadvanced Remix)
12. AVTechNO / Dog Tails - Closed (Enclosed Remix)
13. Dog Tails / AVTechNO - Breaker (404 Rebuild)

I find it nice that the beginning is full of original tracks and the rest is remixes! I know that TEAR was already released by AVTechNO in another album, but this version is sung by Rin instead of Miku. This album features tracks sung by Miku, Rin, and Luka only (except for track 8, which has no vocals).

As always, AVTechNO's music is absolutely incredible! The way they tune their vocals to be so powerful paired with their cool and catchy music, I always find myself repeating their songs over and over again.

As for Dog Tails, he's the reason I found this album in the first place! He doesn't have nearly as much love as he deserves. Dog Tails' songs on the album are very trace-like, so calm and refreshing, with dreamy and cute vocals to match. His remixes of AVTechNO's songs are really, really well done.

This entire album is just full of amazing music by two amazing producers that go together as well as Patchouli and books. Even the package looks so sleek and professional, just look at the website too! I just love this album a lot, and if you love trance, dubstep, darkcore, and other similar genres, I think you'll love this album a lot, too. Listen to the crossfade here
