HS Music Discussion 2: Let there be a fan-music contest!

[OrangeAipom]

3 In The Morning (Pianokind) doesn't list that it's also a remix of Showtime.

[Ktalaki]

Right now I've got around 300 MB of 'extra' homestuck songs.

Hmm, I haven't checked the size of my Homestuck Fanmusic folder in a while...
993 MB
I think... I win?

[Xzaz]

You mean on Bandcamp?
That doesn't list a lot of remixes.

[ndoto]

Hey, does anyone have the link handy to that page that had the list of Homestuck songs broken down by artist? I thought I had it bookmarked, but I guess not.

[Solaris]

You mean the one in Jit's signature?

[Xzaz]

What am I hearing at the beginning of Kali's Ira quod Angelus from Land of Fans and Music?
As in, what instrument?

[Vaah]

I just recently started listening to all the Homestuck albums and I'm wondering why I waited so long.

Major props to RJ on Temporary. It reminds me so much of Kashiwa Daisuke's experimental stuff it's amazing. I have it and Ocean Stars Falling on repeat back to back right now before I go on to listen to some of the older albums. Keep up the insanely great work guys!

dammit Solaris you and your """logic""" and """paying attention to things"""

(thank you very much)

Happy first post, my friend! You picked the best thread to make your first post in.

protip: not radiation but in fact RJ

[Paul]

whoops, corrected!

[Xzaz]

Okay
So
I did some cleanup on the remix list. (Perhaps I could have it hosted on some website like Jit's song/artist list?)
There were a few things I wasn't really sure about that I needed to clarify.

Doctor (the album version of Doctor was a chiptune version of the original Doctor (meaning every version of Doctor ever released has been a remix :V ) but there might be other songs with this treatment so I don't really think this constitutes as a remix.)

Bed of Rose's/Dreams of Derse (apparently Bed of Rose's is a remix of part of Aggrieve?)

Moonshatter (the beginning part sounds kind of similar to Harlequin)

Ruins (With Strings) (the "With Strings" pretty much says that there was an unreleased original version of Ruins)

Awakening [Ruins, Courser(?)]

Also, what does R&E mean in the context of Walk-Stab-Walk? I wasn't able to find out anything by looking it up.
I've kind of been considering adding the Gaiden albums with a note of their unofficiality.
I'll type up something like a draft for that later.

[Vaah]

Happy first post, my friend! You picked the best thread to make your first post in.

I know, right?

Going through The Wanders right now. Absolutely love Requiem for an Exile. Mayor Maynot is a close runner up, The sample radiation chose is hilariously perfect.

[Walliard]

There's something surreal about seeing SomethingAwful emotes on other forums.

Bed of Rose's/Dreams of Derse (apparently Bed of Rose's is a remix of part of Aggrieve?)

It's the part around 0:42. Which incidentally is the only part of Aggrieve I can make out in the violin refrain.

Also, what does R&E mean in the context of Walk-Stab-Walk?

Remixed and Extended, I believe.

[BRPXQZME]

You should have at least found this, though that’s not authoritative....

In my head, though, it means “revised and edited”. (There are a number of similar phrases with the same rough meaning that start with the same letters, after all.)

[InfiniteNutshell]

Happy first post, my friend! You picked the best thread to make your first post in.

Take it from me, it is also the best thread to make 20 out of 21 of your post-first-post posts in.

So anyway the discussion has been a bit slower lately; I wonder when the crazy ideas about the next album will start being thrown around. Actually you know what I could get that ball rolling right now

So I think these are sufficiently implausible ideas that it is pretty safe none of them will be the next album but you never know with the music team:
-- Lusus Monster album
-- Fedorafreak album
-- Lord English and his Amazing Technicairo Overcoat
-- Homestuck volumes 5-8 compilation

[curiousTerminal]

I'd use them, but...

I totally thought R&E was a music genre, and having no idea what when in it, assumed WSW was some kind of homage to it?

[Daniel990]

R&B?

[mysteriousOutsider]

Oh, I remember when I made my first post in the HS music thread.

and was completely ignored

That was a long, long two months ago.

[Daniel990]

I'm always completely ignored.

[Albatross Soup]

-- Lusus Monster album

Hey remember when everyone thought there was going to be a Guardian album because of my fake hints? Ha good times.

-- Fedorafreak album

We're actually working on an entire side project solely devoted entirely to fedorafreak. Complete with a stage production and Broadway-worthy lyrics.

-- Lord English and his Amazing Technicairo Overcoat

Scratch that last thought, this would make a fine stage production.

-- Homestuck volumes 5-8 compilation

This one I am addressing seriously: The main incentive for the Vols. 1-4 combo was to combine a bunch of small and relatively overpriced albums so that people weren't paying too much money for so little content compared to our current stuff. That and to slip in a few minor flash tunes from earlier pages so people could get them. There really wouldn't be any reason to combine the later albums, they're pretty complete and priced well as it is. :\

Go ahead, tell me just how many remixes I missed or got wrong.
When I put this into the main list I guess I'll need to make the remixes of unofficial songs red to go with the thing with unofficial songs here
So... Trollcops, Crystamanthequins... what else?
I also really need to fix the indecisiveness on listing of some songs.
A big offender for this is Liquid Negrocity and Black. Are there any particular parts specific to Black (the vocals don't count) that make the songs that have been listed as remixes of it (say, Blackest Heart) strictly remixes of Black and not just Liquid Negrocity?
Were I to list out the remixes by song, I'd just toss all the things with Black under Liquid Negrocity, Homestuck under Homestuck Anthem, and so forth. But there are some things that would need different treatment, like Savior of the Dreaming Dead. So I'm not really sure how to treat the things listed as remixes of Homestuck, Black, et cetera.
I really feel like The Broken Clock, Genesis, and Let's All Rock The Heist are remixes but I can't place them.

[Walliard]

to combine a bunch of small and relatively overpriced albums

I like to think that I was partially responsible for that decision.

[mysteriousOutsider]

That does seem likely.
