    <i>Lark Mordancy:</i> ([Bandcamp about blurb](https://larkmordancy.bandcamp.com/album/play-the-rain))

    A collection of Homestuck-based songs.

    <i>Quasar Nebula:</i> (wiki editor, 6/1/2026)

    Tracks [[track:stalemate-play-the-rain]] and [[track:720413]] are later releases, from August 2012 and February 2013 respectively. The original tracks (all the rest of them) were probably never reordered - [the earliest archive](https://web.archive.org/web/20121130072838/http://larkmordancy.bandcamp.com:80/album/play-the-rain) of this album is from November 2012, so it's later than Stalemate's inclusion, but Stalemate (then and now) was just at the end of the track list. 720413 was later inserted as track 2. Note the artist's commentary: 720413 is described as "basically the sequel" to opening track [[Sburban Genesis]], so the album placement clearly fits.

    Also note: This album's initial release precedes [[album:lofam2]]. Sburban Genesis was included in LOFAM2; 720413, itself released later than LOFAM2, was in turn included in [[album:lofam3|LOFAM3]].

    <b>Sburban Genesis</b>

    This song is a remix of [[Dawn of Man]] and [[Sburban Jungle]] by Michael Bowman. Part of [[Exodus]] by James Dever also shows up. Making it was quite an adventure, but I think it turned out well. [[album:mobius-trip-and-hadron-kaleido]] doesn’t get nearly enough love.

    <img src="media/misc/stalemate-lofam2.jpg" width="350">

    THIS TRACK ART CAUSED ME SO MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING so I'm just calling it done because I like how it looks now. I drew this for Stalemate, which should be on the [[album:lofam2|LOFAM2]] album that will hopefully come out by Christmas this year!

    This track art is making me cry over how a lot of my favorite characters are Dersites and how hard they are to color well in a painterly style, just so you know. The crack in the Furthest Ring was a whole lot of fun, though! I can't exactly make this animated since it's track art, so I decided to make a lot of little hue changes in the crack itself. I'm pretty satisfied with the effect I got by doing that!

    <i>Quasar Nebula:</i> (wiki editor, 1/2/2024)

    Although Stalemate didn't end up on [[album:lofam2]] in the end ([[track:sburban-genesis-lofam2]] by the same artist did, instead), this artwork ended up getting used about a year later for [[track:dogfight-dirtiests-dubstep-remix]] on [[album:lofam3]]!
