    This is an arrangement of [[track:showtime-original-mix|Showtime]] that I've had lying around for a while - and it happened to be perfect for the opening disc jingle, so here we are! I actually managed to knock this recording out in my first three tries,  which is kinda crazy... and that's really all there is to say on the matter.

    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i> (composer, booklet commentary)

    For this track i went for the style of music i think Dad listens to, a jazzier version of [[track:under-the-hat|Under the Hat]] fit this idea. Also the chiptune breakdown in the middle is supposed to reference [[track:showtime-original-mix|the original Strife! theme for dad]]. So later with a bit of saxophone it worked! I think it came out pretty well, and i think this is what you'd hear whenever you walk into the kitchen when Dad is baking.

    <i>Frost Carter:</i> (composer, booklet commentary)

    This song has been in the works for a very long time. The better part of a year, in fact. It went through a LOT of different iterations and versions (at one point even being part of an Undertale fan game that was unfortunately canceled) before landing where it is now. I finally decided to finish it and let the little bird fly for this album. Fun fact: It was originally titled "Penumbra Phantasm (Frosty Edition)," but then, thanks to a typo from [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]], the "Edition" changed to "Style," and, honestly, I prefer it this way. Go figure, there would be one last change to the song before it was finally finished.

    <i>Caelan Kier:</i> (composer, booklet commentary)

    Y'know that feeling you get when you've been told by gods to blow up a sun twice the size of a universe? well if you have, i think it'd feel something like Solicide. So I was just spittin' some phat-tunes-y'all, y'know, some chill Dave song, when I was like... "Nah, this is just too spooky for Dave, but maybe spooky enough for Rose?" so I changed the idea from a song about Dave & Time to a song about Rose's (and Dave's kinda) mission to heck up the green sun. (P.S. you can't go wrong with hella' samples + at least 73 different phasers.) (P.P.S if y'all wanna see what this lit jam was like when it was just a simple "chill dave song" then too bad because the Instaudio link is dead R.I.P) (P.P.P.S lol nice name that wasn't used nerd) (P.P.P.P.S oh wait that was me...)

#unsure of where Megalovania (or MeGaLoVania is referenced, but everything else should be fine
Commentary: |-
    <i>apatheticPianist:</i> (composer, booklet commentary)

    As you've probably gathered from listening to it, this song is themed around the first five acts of Homestuck! It has a similar structure to [[track:cue-the-curtains|Cue the Curtains]], but with five parts instead of four (which is oddly appropriate, in retrospect - five parts, five acts): John, Rose, Dave and Jade, Bec Noir and Vriska's machinations that led to him, and finally the kids' ascensions and the Scratch. The title uses Vriska's quirk for two reasons: because she had a pretty big hand in the creation of Bec Noir... and also becasue she's "stealing the spotlight" from the Beta Kids. Anyways, a huge thanks to [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]] for mastering this song, and I hope y'all enjoy it!

    <i>Frost Carter:</i> (composer, booklet commentary)

    It's funny, you can't seem to go two steps on the internet without stumbling across a remix of [[track:megalovania-undertale|one certain song]] that shall not be named. Y'know, that [[track:megalovania-ssbu|one song]] that's associated with that [[track:sans|one character]] from that [[album:undertale-soundtrack|one game]]? Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Well, I decided to add to the pile with this remix of [[track:megalovania-halloween|the OG version of that song]], complete with a sound effect from that other game that probably helped inspire that first game that I mentioned. Gosh, this commentary would probably look so ridicuolous to anyone who hasn't ever been on the internet.

    <i>Pascal van den Bos:</i> (composer, booklet commentary)

    I was trying to create kind of a battle theme for a john dave team battle, the name hospitalized is another joke on [[track:doctor|doctor]] because doctor is partially in it. but this is something i'd imagine plays when john and dave are battling together. Fun fact (again): the sick lead is the Romantic Trumpet from Touhou with way too much chorus.

    I really like to make dave songs, this song was inspired by a bass player on youtube named [Davie504](https://www.youtube.com/user/Davie504). I wrote the first bass parts with some squares (the square in the middle even sounds like [[track:walk-stab-walk-r-and-e|Walk Stab Walk]] even though i didn't intend it to) to give it some variation. Then some phat beats for dave coolness and [[track:time-on-my-side|Time on My Side]] combined with [[track:cascade-beta|Cascade]] to give it max awesomeness, i guess you could see it as a strife theme for alpha Dave fighting those clowns on top of the "purple house".

    With this track i kinda wanted to remake a Strife! theme for Mom. The bass in the beginning is building the tension of Rose trying to sneak out of the house, and when [[track:aggrieve|Aggrieve]] starts playing you know she got busted. I also added parts of [[track:sburban-jungle|Sburban Jungle]] to foreshadow her entering the medium soon, and the guitar just makes everything 10x cooler.

    "Rooftop-shenanigans-with-Dirk" might as well be the title since that's what it is. I had an idea where I could make a song on FamiTracker and then master it on FL Studio, so I did! This idea turned out well, I just had to export each track on FamiTracker separately and then import them all to FL Studio and so I could just mix it as much as i wanted like some kind of evil scientist, but way less exciting...

    This is what happens when you're scrolling through your Touhou soundfont trying to come up with ideas for an original track and you find a funny thing, i also used a fretless bass to have some of Jade's wackiness. Since she's a Prospit dreamer, i based this track on Prospit and it's dreamers. That's why this track sounds so dreamy and dissonant. I was also heavily influenced by Final Fantasy themes while making this. Overall i think it came out pretty much like how i wanted it to.

    GameBro!

    The GameBro is here and he's got the games
    All you other lamebrainers better feel the shame
    He can bend the rules, he's too cool for school
    And he's got just a few cheat codes for you
    There ain't nothing that'll ever hold this bad boy down
    That hat that he's wearing's like his personal crown
    He's got every game beat and skills that sweet
    But if you want in his crew, you gotta be elite

    Uh!
    Do it, do it, do it, do it!
    Uh!
    Alright!

    It's GameBro!
    When you're out of quarters, he's got your back
    He never ever betray you, man, that's a fact
    Yo, he's your best friend, and never foe
    So, come on, and let's go!

    The GameBro is here and he's got the games
    All you other lamebrainers better feel the shame
    He can bend the rules, he's too cool for school
    And he's got just a few cheat codes for you
    There ain't nothing that'll ever hold this bad boy down
    That hat that he's wearing's like his personal crown
    He's got every game beat and skills that sweet
    But if you want in his crew, you gotta be elite

    Alright bros, are you ready?
    It's time for the one, the only, GameBro!
    He's coming to your screen straight from the magazine
    The mix meister of Master Swords and mushrooms
    Are you sure you're ready for this?
    Well come on, get ready, get set, and here we go

    Uh!
    Do it, do it, do it, do it!
    Uh!
    Alright!

    I was messing around with a midi i made of Rob Scallon's [[track:rain-rob-scallon|"Rain"]], and i found out that if everything is a square, it sounds like a Cavestory song. So when i added [[track:doctor|"Doctor"]] into it, it got even better. The sweet drums and the high square from [[track:windswept-shale|"Windswept Shale"]] by Baleish finished it up and made the song sound as good as it does. Also the title is kind of a nudge at "Rain" if you haven't noticed yet (ahahah I'm so clever HEEHEEHOOHOO).

    This track was inspired by Bro and Dave's battles, the beginning starts out slow and tense (Dave ascending to the roof, that's also what the strings are referencing) and then shit hits the fan. The beat becomes phatter and the Beatdown lead speeds up. I think this is what a typical battle with Bro would be like.

    I wanted to make an eerie song for the land of crypts and helium, i was struggling to find a fitting instrument until i accidentally knocked over my acoustic guitar (which i can't play, why do i even have that) and i really liked the sound it made. And after adding delay and reverb to a Touhou guitar it was perfect. Very fitting for that planet i'd say. The spooky pads also help give it more of a spooky cryptic vibe in my opinion.

    <i>Thomas Ferkol:</i> (composer, booklet commentary)

    Wander was the result of there not being enough [[track:explore|Explore]] remixes. Back around the time I joined the music team, I was listening to Explore and thought the orchestration of the synths would translate well to strings. I'd also probably been listening to old Apocalyptica at the time, resulting in a cello ensemble with plodding gritty drum loops. While Explore soars above the remains of the world, Wander is grounded and more subdued. The interlude of ambient jungle noises was partially to reflect the world reverting back to nature, and the distant atmosphere and distorted portions are sort of the echoes and ruins left behind.

    A pretty long one, and i guess it's kind of a non cannon afterwards to [[flash:8087|collide]] in my mind. I refrained from using leomotifs because I honestly don't think this song needs it. Now if you watched collide, it never actually showed them killing lord English right? Well this is in my mind the battle theme to what happened there. If you want you can watch the YouTube theories but simply put, after collide vriska summons more powerful beta (and possibly alpha) kids out of her sburb house thingy. So basically it beta kids, vriska and the ghost army vs lord English. And thats the song. I considered calling it "collide v3" but i felt it was too obvious.

    This is an interesting one, Fetch the Bullet! Is based entirely on the flash [[flash:980|[S] Jade: Retrieve Package]] (specifically the old version). The song is paying its respects to the removed track [[track:mutiny|Mutiny]] which needed some love, it was removed for a reason but it's still a great (and one of my favourites) track. I also used alot of spacey synths to signify Bec traveling to space and teleporting all over the place and shit. And then [[track:MeGaLoVania|MeGaLoVania]] and [[track:beatdown-strider-style|Beatdown]] are in there for some reason. I also put in the Ultimate Guitar kit again for the reference to Jade knowing how to play guitar (man do i love that soundfont).

    Somewhat ironically, this song actually came before [[track:8r8k-the-8ottle|8r8k the 8ottle]] - when I joined the album, a song themed around EOA6 / Collide was the first thing that came to mind, and this is the result! As you've probably noticed, it's separated pretty evenly into four parts: first Vriska vs. Lord English, then Terezi and the Striders vs. Lord Jack and Spades Slick, then the HIC fight, and finally an ending meant to call back (forward?) to Act 7. Also, giant thanks to [[artist:pascal-van-den-bos|PotatoBoss]] for mastering it and 8r8k the 8ottle - they definitely wouldn't have had that extra Homestuck kick without his help, hehe. Aside from that, nothing much else to say about it - it's a giant pile of motifs that I really enjoyed composing!
