AFIII Too messy and too much and bad playing with a confused genre?

Ok... i woke up last weekend and decided to noodle around a bit and then i pressed record. I came up with this tune. I kept adding and adding and adding and eventually i got accustomed to the sound and thought that by removing stuff it loses the overall picture. I dont know... Thanks!!!

AFIII No Synthpads were used here :)

How about an almost Synthwave tune without synths? Still searching for my "tone", i dont think ill ever get there though! Only bass and drums are synthiey, all other noises are strictly guitars! Hope some will like :)
