Its entry on the wiki is mostly modeled around [the SoundCloud album/set](https://soundcloud.com/sparksd2145/sets/homestuck-mixes), which appears to be where these tracks were originally released. Shenanigans: MSPA was also released [on Bandcamp](tps://web.archive.org/web/20130409111336/http://sparksd2145.bandcamp.com/); this release is no longer directly available, but is rehosted [on skaia.net](http://dl.skaia.net/albums). (Albeit, missing the track art booklet and Irradiated animation rendering, which are currently lost media.) + + The track list on SoundCloud is the one reflected on the wiki; tracks are generally ordered (presumably by the composer) in a custom way, rather than chronologically. On Bandcamp tracks are alphabetical. The wiki also uses the "album release date" and per-track dates from SoundCloud. On Bandcamp the release date is [[date:September 22, 2012]].
