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

[mysteriousOutsider]

then you aren't a TRUE FANN.......

I love it all unconditionally, do I qualify?

Actually I only listened to the first five tracks so far but they were all enjoyable and I'm willing to extrapolate wildly.

[NullEntropy]

OH WOW Feferi actually has a theme now.

Kind of odd that she's getting one now when she's not even important anymore forever.

Also Volume 1-4 became one thing I guess

Feferi already had a theme: Keepers

[Soleron]

I suspect it will take multiple listens * 41 tracks to like more.

then you aren't a TRUE FANN.......

Why me.

[rj lake]

fun unmentioned secret bonus fact: if you look at volume 1-4 we may have snuck in gardener and potential verdancy when you weren't looking

I suspect it will take multiple listens * 41 tracks to like more.

then you aren't a TRUE FANN.......

Why me.

because you aren't a TRUE FANN.......

[911Goofy]

VOLUME 8.

And again, my ears are raped by the sweet soothing sounds of the Music team.

Okay I have just sent a funky contact message on bandcamp; hopefully I'll be able to get refunded so I can get the shiny SECRET BONUSES.

But... that means I have to buy those albums again now to satisfy my OCD. Damn your savvy business acumen.

Actually I can probably manage not to do that.

[Tayruu]

Okay, is null a reference or something to the destruction of two universes and nulling of a session?

Also what is the hidden track in this album? aaand ninja'd

[King]

Touche...

Was... W-was... Was I just REMIXED?

Magic really does happen.

This calls for a change up of the avatar and signature.

[Solaris]

Oh man, good job on that Acapella I'm a Member of the Midnight Crew, MightyMoose!
I loves it.
I'll listen to the rest of this monster later.

[-Benedict]

Oh man, I'm getting a serious Mother 3 vibe from Frog Forager.

only on the sixth track WHY CAN'T I LISTEN TO EVERYTHING AT ONCE

EDIT: Okay, Fef's theme is great but then AUGH HORRORGIGGLING, RUN, and then Escape Pod is so great, but I don't know how to classify it, like maybe an electronic remix of an 80s power ballad???

oh and davesprite is pretty groovy with his sunslammer there
Airtime... what? Uh, like, some kind of trance thing, and uh... the track art? Wha? This song confuses me, is that good? It's pretty nice, anyhow.

[rj lake]

fun facts:

airtime is the first track i ever made for homestuck, ever. it's untouched from how it originally was.
afraid of the darko was originally for the felt.
temporary was originally set for volume 5, as was pyrocumulus (sicknasty) (like its kickstart brethren)
aaaaaand arcade thunder was originally made for volume 6.

[spectralEnt]

I'm wondering who the girl in the cover for Ocean Stars Falling is meant to be. She doesn't quite look like Rose or Feferi, and she's surrounded by Squiddles...

[Ktalaki]

Hey music team
What are the chances we'll ever get the Cascade mix of Black Rose / Green Sun as its own full song on a future album?
... or is it already a bonus song on Vol 8?

It's a bonus called Black Hole / Green Sun.

Ah, that'd explain it.

[AchillesAndTortoise]

Hey, do I have to buy the new Vol.1-4 in order to get "John Sleeps/Skaian Magicant"? Because I have all the other tracks. :/

[rj lake]

you don't have potential verdancy or gardener

[AchillesAndTortoise]

Oh huh. Didn't notice those.

Bluh I'll consider buying it

[kaoticAntagonist]

Whats the song for part 3?
