Alicemagic (8.19 OTC Lost Mix) - cover by IA

The cover from the fresh Psycho Assemble Laboratory album. The original piece was composed by Shinji Orito and featured as an ending theme for “Little Busters!” TV anime (as well as in visual novel). Needless to say, the original isn’t worth your precious attention except for you’re a fan of mediocre j-rock, and I hope you aren’t. PAL’s cover is very different story though. 88IO-san has made a total rearranging. The song was converted into post-hardcore, heavily packed with synths. When Orito’s version sounded like some trash thing from 1980-s, the rhythmic nature of the remake brings it on the edge of the modern scene. Fancy breakdown and unusually low-pitched, tempting IA’s vocals make the impression even more solid.
