To call it a mega-album is an understatement. IT HAS 71 SONGS. And before I get carried away talking about it, we're releasing this under a new VERY SERIOUS AND LEGIT RECORD LABEL, which is called What Pumpkin. I thought this would be a much tidier container for all these crazy music projects we're cranking out. Oh and there will be more. @@ -44,15 +45,65 @@ Commentary: |- I am never going to stop listening to this thing. Never. They'll have to send the cadaver dogs into my fucking unibomber shack cause I ain't coming out, and the fire ants will be wondering how they're gonna eat the rotting pulp in my skull with these headphones blocking my earholes like that. + <i>Cindy Dominguez:</i> ([whatpumpkin.com news post](https://web.archive.org/web/20100615225737/http://www.whatpumpkin.com/)) + + We're kicking this thing off ("this thing" being [whatpumpkin.com](https://whatpumpkin.com)) with the launch of Homestuck Vol. 5, the latest in a wicked-sweet line of albums for MS Paint Adventure's Homestuck. This means you can stop doing the antsy pants album dance; it's finally here! For a while now I've heard some of you dudes saying "But, but there have only been a few songs in Homestuck so far! There are not nearly enough tunes for another album!" And you're right. There haven't been that many featured Homestuck songs since the last album. But far be it from us to not do something because we don't have enough of something. We managed [to] scrape together enough stuff to fill in the gaps and produce a complete album, with a tidy 71 total songs. + + So why all the songs you haven't heard in Homestuck? This album is serving a bit of a different purpose than the previous albums. The idea behind Vol. 5 is that you are listening to the soundtrack of the game/story on a much broader scale. You're hearing scores for scenes and situations that are happening in the bigger picture, but that we are just not seeing in the visual depiction of the adventure. This music is meant to be evocative of all the things that are happening in the story while we're not looking. And it's incredible. + + Before I wrap this up, I need to give major kudos to all the musicians involved for pulling out all the stops on this album, to [[artist:clark-powell|Clark "Plazmataz" Powell]] and [[artist:toby-fox|Toby "Radiation" Fox]] for giving me a huge hand in prepping this monster album, and to [[artist:lexxy|Lexxy Douglass]] for taking on the album cover art on short notice and delivering a beautiful work of art. And also I think I'll sneak in a thanks to [[artist:andrew-hussie|Andrew]] for busting his ass all the time to produce the vehicle that supports all this amazing music. + + <i>Homestuck:</i> ([whatpumpkin.com side blurb](https://web.archive.org/web/20100615225737/http://www.whatpumpkin.com/)) + + The fifth official Homestuck album, and is just rife with music.

The album hits the tip of the creative iceberg that has been the MSPA music project (which I guess is now formally What Pumpkin records) and shows only a fraction of the endless piles upon piles of "other" music that exists on the not-so-secret music forums. [[artist:andrew-hussie|Andrew]] has been definitely at a crossroads with the music - the response to his open casting call for the music project over a year ago almost immediately exploded with music, initially with the pretense that we were going to be creating short loops (as in the strife themes such as [[Showtime (Original Mix)|Showtime]]). However, when the comic started to operate more cinematically and less like an adventure game, more and more the concentration became on how our music could be used to create the numerous extensive flash-animated cutscenes, some of which fans have awaited and anticipated for days on end. This pretty much imploded with the [[flash:1149|end of Act 3]], when Andrew informed us all that he was going to cut back on the animations after spending a week working on the accompanying animation for [[Sburban Jungle]] day and night on end. Since then, the focus has drifted to various new sectors which I guess will just have to be a surprise to all of you. Either way, consider the new album an outlet for you to sample music inspired by and written for Homestuck and as a chance to support this new community that Andrew has shepherded. + <i>Homestuck:</i> ([Bandcamp download blurb](https://web.archive.org/web/20100615165450/https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/homestuck-vol-5)) + + Includes full album cover art and musician credits pages by the singularly talented Alexandra "Lexxy" Douglass. + + <i>Homestuck:</i> ([Bandcamp credits blurb](https://web.archive.org/web/20100615165450/https://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/homestuck-vol-5)) + + Ladies and Gentlemen, your musicians: + + [[artist:clark-powell|Clark "Plazmataz" Powell]]<br> + [[artist:toby-fox|Toby "Radiation" Fox]]<br> + [[artist:andrew-huo]]<br> + [[artist:alex-rosetti|Alexander Rosetti]]<br> + [[artist:malcolm-brown]]<br> + [[artist:mark-j-hadley|Mark Hadley]]<br> + [[artist:david-ko]]<br> + [[artist:michael-guy-bowman]]<br> + [[artist:kalibration|Robert Blaker]]<br> + [[artist:seth-peelle|Seth "Beatfox" Peelle]]<br> + [[artist:robert-j-lake]]<br> + [[artist:solatrus|Jeremy "Solatrus" Iamurri]]<br> + [[artist:erik-scheele|Erik "Jit" Scheele]]<br> + [[artist:steve-everson]]<br> + [[artist:soluslunes|Jared Micks]]<br> + [[artist:buzinkai|George Buzinkai]]<br> + [[artist:nick-smalley]]<br> + [[artist:perry-sullivan]]<br> + [[artist:james-dever|Tyler "Seppuku" Dever]]<br> + [[artist:gabe-nezovic]] + <i>Quasar Nebula:</i> (wiki editor) + Track art on these tracks has been uploaded from the <a href="https://sollay-b.tumblr.com/post/188094230423/hello-a-couple-of-years-ago-allyssinian">Homestuck Vol. 5 Anthology</a>!
