A music team on our own terms, expressly as a practice vehicle, to create and release music without a care in the world as to whether it was good or bad or terrible? No shame, no hesitation, just for the hell of making Homestuck fanmusic, and maybe improving along the way. Cool and New Web Comic's popular but low-quality presentation was a natural fit. And the response was massive. It turned out many people felt the same way, or simply wanted to see what all the noise was about. Only two weeks later, the newly-created Cool and New Music Team released a 50-track album. This is that album. <i>Ngame:</i> - (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6e2NvlY9oc">Community listening stream w/ chat</a>) + ([Community listening stream w/ chat](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6e2NvlY9oc)) --- Track: Cascante Duration: '3:05' @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ Referenced Tracks: - Flare Commentary: |- <i>Niklink:</i> - The only piece of Homestuck fanmusic I had ever completed was this <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AxgMI6451M">Famitracker remix of Flare</a>, but since at the time we were fully committing to the 'shitty music' idea, and a straight up transcription of a Homestuck track isn't particularly CaNWC-ish anyways, I ran it through a bunch of filters.
