As for experimental vocaloid music...there really isn't much experimentation going on to be honest.

It's the "Soundtracks For The Blind" of Vocaloid. A concept album based on the exploring the theme of Existential Crisis and the inevitable death of an Idol. Super fucking good.

This is a really fucking weird album. I dont know how I can describe this well to you without making you raise an eyebrow. Firstly, there is Hatsune Miku in this album, but not in the way you would expect. You see, there are songs that do use Miku, but she sings the same thing over and over for all of the songs that Miku appears in. It gets better, too. Every time Miku sings, something completely different happens to both Miku and the song. It's almost like the producer was trying to reinvent the same song 4 times over. Is that not enough for you? well you're in luck, because this dude is pulling all the stops when it comes to making quite an unusual experience. There's this other singer whom I was presume to be the producer himself. He has such a very...odd way of singing. I can't quite put my finger on it. He sounds like this fat, desperate and lonely otaku who just can't quite sing too well. Did I forget to mention that it's also REALLY lo-fi? Yet somehow, SOMEHOW this singing just works. I suppose it has a lot to the very dizzying atmosphere, almost too neo-psychedelic like. There's also sparse use of sampling to be found in the album as well that help add to the imagination. As for the lyrics and themes, I don't quite know what they are. However, I have a hunch that these songs are reminiscent of insane and obsessive nature of Otakus and their desire for their idols. I would go as far as to say that this is the "Not Available" of Vocaloid. If you're into experimental stuff, do give this album a try.
