Artist and wiki commentary for Irradiated:

Thomas Ibarra: (SoundCloud description)

The original Irradiated remix, updated and given new life for the homestuck fan music album 2.

B. A. Baker: (SoundCloud comment)

This was the first Homestuck fansong I ever found... literally one year ago, I discovered this song, loved it, and looked for more fanmusic until realizing how big the fanmusic community really was. Hearing this song again one year later is so cool.

Quasar Nebula: (wiki editor)

The original was also released on SoundCloud back in August 2011, alongside a handful of other remixes (which stuck around on this album). However, it dates to earlier than the animation version from February 2011, so this updated version follows the original by at least fourteen months.

Quasar Nebula: (wiki editor)

Both artworks for this track are featured in the art booklet next to each other, so while it's possible that one each was intended for this track and the animation version, we can't guess which would belong with which. We also can't really say which is the "main" and which is "alternate"... but figure the ones we chose, with "Irradiated" spelled correctly (i.e. maybe revised) in the "main" one.

The following commentary is properly placed on this track's main release, Land of Fans and Music 2.

Thomas Ibarra: (composer, booklet commentary)

Irradiated is really an identifying track for my work, I've been told before that this track is the first that came to mind when mentioning my callsign SparksD2145. Similarly to a good portion of my work Black/Liquid Negrocity's leitmotif plays a prominent feature in the composition, providing the base melody for the entire track. The idea for Irradiated spurred from Jade: Enter, as a high-velocity and energetic track with none other than Jack Noir at the center; my goal was to take Black and give it a different feel. After a short hiatus, my track Irradiated featured in my first tribute animation on youtube for Homestuck.

Spectrumfizz: (track artist, booklet commentary)

Irradiated is among the first homestuck fanmusic tracks I ever heard, so I was very pleased to be able to create art to accompany it on LOFAM2. I decided to draw inspiration from AutoDevote's first HS fanimation, which to this day remains one of my favourite homestuck videos. I'm not particularly apt at composition or shading or several other things, but I'm pretty happy with what I accomplished here.
