Homestuck: (whatpumpkin.com side blurb)

The second official Homestuck album, which includes the music of mid Act 2 though early Act 3.

Andrew Hussie: (MSPA news post)

Annnnd volumes 2 and 3 are up.

That was fast.

Huge, ridiculous megaprops to Cindy for coordinating all this album stuff for me. It just wasn't happening otherwise. You might think we were dogging this release for a long time, but it really did take this long to get it all together, rounding up final mixes from the crew, reformatting chores and stuff.

And a reminder: when you buy these songs the artists get the monies, so you're saying THANKS DUDES with your dollars.

Harlequin (Rock Version) Listen on: Bandcamp, YouTube

Michael Guy Bowman:

The rock version of "Harlequin" sure made a scene, blasting through people's speakers as the background music for the Green Slime Ghost pogo game. Joseph nails the tough bits along with some sweet harmonics on the chorus.

Quasar Nebula:

Andrew Huo's edits aren't described more specifically, nor credited on Bandcamp; this credit is pulled from the original MSPA sound credits. It was removed sometime between June 12, 2012 and August 5, 2012, when the sound credits were updated with proper links back to Bandcamp.

Buzinkai:

I tried towill write something a little more thought provoking this time without too much drummage in the background. It came out smoothly, and I do think it's quite the haunting melody. I was unaware that Andrew wanted me to finish the original loop, and someone else remixed a longer ending for it, doing quite a fantastic job.

Michael Guy Bowman:

"Explore" was one of Buzinkai's distinctive snippets that I arranged - the melodies she writes are always strong, and the only appropriate scale to work on with that kind of material is grand.
