+    > <i>[[artist:quasar-nebula|Lan]]:</i> Can I ask for some advice for telling Courser from Lotus in a track reference list? An emailer just let us know that in Shenaigans: MSPA track 'The Felt: Rise of Lord English', the reference is to [[Courser]], rather than [[Lotus]]. I don't have any backup for Lotus—it's just what I put in when I recognized it, while doing other work on Shenanigans: MSPA. Timestamp 1:16 in the full track, trimmed below

+
+    yeah thats courser<br>
+    lotus is a completely different melody<br>
+    they are like very different songs<br>
+    in this section at least i hear courser and megalovania?
+
+    > OK. I think I always read Courser's main melody as deriving from Lotus's main/intro melody, but I agree that it's easy to tell just by ear. [[track:MeGaLoVania|Megalo]] is here too yeah (and [[Liquid Negrocity]] just before)
