Homestuck/Awesome Music: Difference between revisions

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-countdown-2 Sburban Countdown]. Tick tock.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/showtime-original-mix-2 Showtime], the comic's first leitmotif and a catchy chiptune.

** [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/showtime-piano-refrain-2 The piano refrain] is beautiful, and [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/showtime-imp-strife-mix-2 the 16-bit mix] is epic.

* As listed below [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922085838/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/harlequin-2 Harlequin] and [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/nannaquin-2 Nannaquin].

* Not to mention [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/explore-2 Explore], from [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002657 the EPIC ending to Act 2.]

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/beatdown-strider-style-2 Beatdown], the theme for [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002736 Dave's Strife with Bro] is badass...

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/beatdown-round-2-2 The remix] for [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002771 round 2] is even better.

* You know what's a good song? [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ohgodwhat-2 Ohgodwhat]. You know what's a better song? [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ohgodwhat-remix-2 The remix]. You know what's even better? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MNSg2SGrMvY&feature=related The Boss Battle remix].

* I raise you [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003049 the EPIC ending to Act 3], featuring the [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sburban-jungle-2 full version of Sburban Jungle].

* How about ''[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/black-2 Black]'', the theme for [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003568 Jack Noir's ascension] in the one-year anniversary flash. Or [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/liquid-negrocity Liquid Negrocity], its sorta-proto-remix. Both are pure, distilled cool that's darker than midnight.

* I feel [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/atomyk-ebonpyre-2 Atomyk Ebonpyre] from the fourth album should be emphasized. Like, if the Crowning Moment of Awesome page had a theme song, that should probably be it, because it is awesome and has already played in two ridiculously awesome scenes that are basically the textbook definition of [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|CMoA]].

* I think the [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/harlequin-rock-version-2 rock version of Harlequin] is, in my opinion, the best song in the album.

* If you're looking for a beautiful song that represents really well the feeling of being brought to a new world, look no further, here it is: [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/endless-climb-2 Endless. Climb].

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/gardener Gardener], Jade's chill and hauntingly relaxing baseline, is now available to download for free!

* The [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/homestuck-vol-5 fifth album] has ''sixty-five songs''. A lot of them more than qualify as a [[Crowning Music of Awesome]] in their own right.

* And among the Chorale remixes, "[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/chorale-for-war Chorale for War]."

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/crystamanthequins Crystamanthequins], from [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004478 "[S] Make Her Pay"]. Which is also incredibly awesome, although spoilerific.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-beginning-of-something-really-excellent "The Beginning of Something Really Excellent"] deserves a mention. It's a remix of Jade's advanced bass solo seen [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002926 here.] Which is also an excellent piece. Both selections are uplifting and catchy. Bec can be seen for a moment on Jade's roof happily bobbing his head to the music.

** [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/an-unbreakable-union "An Unbreakable Union"], the replacement for Jade's Strife song against Bec, though in a very very different style and a big departure from what Mutiny was, is a spectacular song in its own right.

* The exclusion of [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sunslammer "Sunslammer"] from this page would be unacceptable.

** Its proto-mix [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sunsetter Sunsetter] is a nice tune in its own right.

* Just listen to the BEAUTILICIOUS glisses in the right hand of the piano around 2:25 of [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaia-incipisphere-mix The Inicipisphere remix of Skaia.]

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ruins-with-strings Ruins (With Strings)], a mournful, ponderous, and heart-achingly beautiful track that embodies, I imagine, how it feels to drift weightlessly amongst the dream clouds of Skaia.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/how-do-i-live-bunny-back-in-the-box-version This song deserves a mention as well], if only for the ironic benefits.

* For whatever reason, this troper has found that [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/planet-healer Planet Healer] is capable of evoking very strong emotions for her (perhaps connected to nostalgia). The way the track is used in the webcomic also helps add to the track's sentimental value.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pyrocumulus-kickstart Pyrocumulus (Kickstart)] is just amazing. Makes me think of the Queen of Prospit, PM, arriving to meet John in order to do something awesome.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/welcome-to-the-new-extreme Welcome To The New Extreme] is a fantastic remix of Sburban Jungle.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-skirmish Skaian Skirmish], used for [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003701 WV?: Rise up.]

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dupliblaze-comagma Dupliblaze COMAGMA], the theme for Dave's Denizen, Hephaestus.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-cravings Pumpkin Cravings] is a pretty awesome song.

* Another piece by Toby "Radiation" Fox, [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/moonshatter Moonshatter].

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/sarabande Sarabande], an absolutely beautiful piano song, will bring tears to your eyes.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/homestuck-anthem Homestuck Anthem] is a wonderful relaxing melody, featuring sections with the instruments of each kid.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/snow-pollen Snow Pollen], a great piece with an awesome melody.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/hardchorale Hardchorale], a ridiculous remix of "Chorale for Jaspers" from the Volumes 1-4 album, is more along the lines of Crowning Music of Funny.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/light Light] is a beautiful, relaxing piece.

* And now we have [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/heir-transparent Heir Transparent]. The 13th track of volume 6, four minutes of awesome.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/frost Frost] is the theme of Jade's land and quite pretty.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/gaia-queen Gaia Queen], the theme for Jade's Denizen, Echidna.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/squidissension Squidissension], which is basically an orchestral remix of the Squiddles theme and Dissension. And it is AWESOME.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/walk-stab-walk-r-e Walk-Stab-Walk (R&E)] manages to combine Jack Noir's homicidal nature with delightfully retro 8-bit.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/megalovania MeGaLoVania], from [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005197 [S] Wake]. It's hard to describe in any way but 'metal'.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/3-in-the-morning-pianokind Pianokind] is a combination of Showtime, Aggrieve and 3 In The Morning that starts with a foreboding march of Snowman's leitmotif and segues into a bombastic [[Boss Remix]] that easily tops the three songs that produced it.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/a-tender-moment A Tender Moment], a very touching piece that just soothes the heart.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/crystalanthology Crystalanthology] needed to be mentioned.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/courser Courser] at first seemed pretty out of place other than the melody, then it [[Fridge Brilliance|occurred to me]] that the Japanese instrumentation and presentation seemed fitting for [[Shout-Out|a dog]] [[Ōkami|with godlike powers.]]

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/tribal-ebonpyre Tribal Ebonpyre] definitely sounds like what would become of Dave's music if the denizens of his world got their claws on it. Awesome and hilarious at the same time.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/elevatorstuck Elevatorstuck] was once a respectably calming tune, [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=006727 now] this troper can't stop laughing his ass off!

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/awakening Awakening] is reminiscent of JRPG [[Boss Battle]] music, and would be perfect for {{spoiler|Rose and John's fight with Jack, if it hadn't become a complete [[Curb Stomp Battle]]}}.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rumble-at-the-rink Rumble at the Rink] deserves mention.

* Something about [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/warhammer-of-zillyhoo this] Gregorian style chant for John's latest weapon just really tickles me. It's lyrics consist solely of 'Warhammer of Zillyhoo'. Actually made me like the ridiculous looking thing.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/even-in-death Even in Death] is a haunting, slow song, until out of NOWHERE the drum line from "Upwards Movement" (yeah, ''that'' drum line) comes and the song amps up... only to eventually fade back. It's quite well done.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/spider8reath Spider8reath] is very nice, especially when those sexy horns come in.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/play-the-wind Play The Wind.] DAT PERCUSSION.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/earthsea-borealis Earthsea Borealis], one of the many Endless Climb remixes on Volume 7. It has a nice dramatic tune to it.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/wsw-beatdown WSW-Beatdown]. I recommend you watch [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=4&p=000927 this] page of Problem Sleuth while listening to get the full effect.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/lets-all-rock-the-heist Let's All Rock The Heist] is a seriously underappreciated track.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-carnival The Carnival] is a remix of Harlequin, one of the very first songs from the strip. In this incarnation, it's perfect for Gamzee's leitmotif: starting out calm, even melancholy, and gradually increasing in speed and pitch like a nightmare fairground ride.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/havoc-to-be-wrought Havoc To Be Wrought] is chillingly excellent, and those screaming noises at the end...

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/trial-and-execution Trial And Execution] is rather overlooked. It has powerful drum beats and is very strong.

* If a single song could do justice to [S] Cascade and not a whole bunch, [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/infinity-mechanism Infinity Mechanism] would be it.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/scourge-sisters Scourge Sisters] is a barrel of fun.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/davesprite Davesprite] stands out as one of this Troper's favorite songs.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/unite-synchronization Unite Synchronization] is just a wonderful song that combines all of the kid's instruments in perfect harmony, as if they were playing in a band together

* This troper never much cared about shipping, but [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/do-you-remem8er-me Do You Remem8er Me] almost single-handedly made him jump to the John/Vriska camp, even though one half of it is already dead.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/gust-of-heir Gust of Heir] is one of two songs that This Troper actually wants to listen to all the way to the end every time.

* Two more to add: [https://web.archive.org/web/20140219023131/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/judgment-day Judgement Day] and [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/revered-return Revered Return]

* Of all the EoA songs, [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/flare Flare] is the most haunting.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/galaxy-hearts Galaxy Hearts] is a pretty awesome song.

* This troper sees a clear lack of [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/escape-pod Escape Pod], a completely awesome song that deserves a mention.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/homefree Homefree] is a catchy and energetic piece that seems to be straight from a Pokemon game.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/terraform Terraform] and [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/calamity Calamity] bear mention as well.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/serenade Serenade] is a really beautiful piano piece that needs some mention.

* Finally, Feferi has a theme that fits her perfectly: [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/love-you-feferis-theme Love You].

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/airtime Airtime] feels very hopeful, which is well done given the electronic samples.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/even-in-death-tmorras-belly-mix Even In Death (T'Morra's Belly Mix)] is a well done remix of Even in Death from Volume 7, including violins and choirs, and possibly surpasses the original.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/lotus-bloom Lotus (Bloom)] is a very beautiful song that feels very serene.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/kingside-castle Kingside Castle]. That flute is just the icing on the cake in this one.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ocean-stars-falling Ocean Stars Falling] ,a remix of Ocean Stars, is an awesome (though at some points [[Tear Jerker|sadly nostalgic]]) song on its own.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pyrocumulus-sicknasty Pyrocumulus (Sicknasty)] is awesome like its predecessors.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/arcade-thunder Arcade Thunder] is pretty damn catchy.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/galactic-cancer Galactic Cancer] is haunting.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/drift-into-the-sun Drift into the Sun] has always been one of this troper's favorites, particularly because of how it breaks down at the end.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dead-shuffle Dead Shuffle], now playing in the introduction for [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=002733 Act 1031], is a perfect example of the Midnight Crew's "jazz noir".

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/carbon-nadsat-cuestick-genius Carbon Nadsat/Cuestick Genius]. Perfectly exemplifies the behavior and temperament of Diamonds Droog in a way no other song can.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/moonshine Moonshine] has a sort of cabaret feel to it, something you can just imagine being in the [[Roaring Twenties]].

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ace-of-trump Ace of Trump] is a gorgeous jazzy piece.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/three-in-the-morning Three in the Morning] is the most calming piece I have heard in ages.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/alternia Alternia] is made by, as Andrew said, one of the best of the best composers of [[What Pumpkin]]. It shows. [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-la2t-frontiier The La2t Frontiier] is a personal favorite, featuring a bit of a reprise of Sunslammer, an already amazing tune from the fifth album.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/skaian-summoning You forgot this one, guys.]

** [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/phaze-and-blood And this one.]

*** No love for [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/staring-bonus Staring?] I'm appalled.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/miracles mIrAcLes] may have been abandoned as a theme, but it is probably the most relaxing, least sinister song on the entire album, which fits Gamzee's initial personality to a tee.

* To any Taurus, [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/desperado-rocket-chairs dESPERADO ROCKET CHAIRS] is amazing. Or to any Hispanic music fan. Or to some other people, too.

* While the happy-go-lucky, easygoing feel of [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/keepers-bonus Keepers] doesn't quite fit Feferi and definitely doesn't match Eridan, it's still a lovely piano tune.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/let-the-squiddles-sleep-end-theme Let the Squiddles Sleep (End Theme)]'s constant contrast is jarring and maddening, which represents very well the contrast between Squiddles' looks and their roots.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/omelette-sandwich "Omelette Sandwich"] starts out with just some string chords, plays itself through, and then keeps rewinding itself to the beginning and adding new instrument groups and generally getting more frenetic, [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=003151 just like Eggs]. It's an amazing effect.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/clockwork-reversal Clockwork Reversal] is pretty great and sounds just like it says, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|a reversal]]. What it's the reversal of? [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NALQpOcro1g An ominous version of Clockwork Sorrow].

* Then there's [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rhapsody-in-green Rhapsody in Green.] Oh, wait, my apologies, that probably didn't sound too awesome. How about Rhapsody in Green... ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIk2_PyjzPs&feature=related reversed.]''

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/variations Variations,] which is different from the rest of the album (as the rest is orchestral and Variations is electronic) but is ''freaking awesome'' regardless.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/jade-dragon/ Jade Dragon]. [[This Troper]], being of half-Asian descent, loves the distinct Asian influences while maintaining an extremely fantastic temporal theme.

* ''Opening Theme'': ''[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/stormspirit Stormspirit.]'' Less than a minute long, it still does a fairly good job of raising the listener's expectations. And it leads right into...

* ''Rose's Theme'': ''[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dance-of-thorns Dance of Thorns.]'' An interesting tune that sounds almost like Miss Lalonde herself: Elegant, poised, and ready for conflict

* ''Dave's Theme'': ''[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/time-on-my-side Time on My Side.]'' A jumpy tune as fast-paced as Dave's mad skillz.

* ''Jade's Theme'': ''[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/atomic-bonsai Atomic Bonsai.]'' A fast paced, oriental piece that gives off an actiony mysticism.

* ''Extra'': ''[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/knifes-edge Knife's Edge.]'' Its intended purpose is a bit of a mystery, but if the cover art is anything to go by, it's meant as a theme for the second showdown between Bro and Jack Noir. And it totally would have worked.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/alternia Alternia] is an already heartbreaking theme made even more heartbreaking. Somehow. Don't ask me how it works. It just does.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/chaotic-strength Chaotic Strength] is every metal fan's dream come true, in a way that matches how crazy Equius's strength is.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/blackest-heart-with-honks Blackest Heart (With Honks)] one might not think honks are the scariest sound ever, but together with the atmospheric dread of this track, it works surprisingly well.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/killed-by-br8k-spider Killed by BR8K Spider!!!!!!!!], an excellent remix of Vriska's theme.

* What happens when you mix Terezi's theme, your usual [[Ace Attorney]] [[Crowning Music of Awesome|"cornered" theme]], and a bit of Sburban Jungle? [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/bl1nd-just1c3-1nv3st1g4t1on BL1ND JUST1C3: 1NV3ST1G4T1ON!!]

* We can't let this go without mentioning Mindfang's theme, [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/shes-a-sp8der She's A Sp8der], which basically answers the question "what do we get if we mix [[Leitmotif|Vriska's leitmotifs]] with [[Pirates of the Caribbean]]?" Answer: Pure awesome.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/requiem-of-sunshine-and-rainbows Requiem Of Sunshine And Rainbows], Kanpire's theme, which manages to mix traditional organ music with ''techno''. Accoding to the supplemental material it was influenced by Castlevania and it shows.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/karkats-theme Karkat's Theme] is probably the only song I know that makes you feel cranky and frustrated and at the same time just makes you want to sway side to side.

* Why isn't [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dreamers-and-the-dead Dreamers and the Dead] not here yet? This piece after all manages to combine the mysteriousness that surrounds the Dream Bubbles and the revivals they permit.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/nepetas-theme Nepeta's] extremely cheerful theme.

* A whole [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/medium album] of ambient music based on the kids' planets? Two tunes for each planet - and syncing them together (like '[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/shade Shade]' and [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/wind Wind]') makes even more awesome music? Hell yes!

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/chain-of-prospit Chain of Prospit] is easily one of the best tracks in Homestuck yet, simply because it's just damn good.

* There is just something ''epic'' about [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dawn-of-man Dawn of Man].

* The track after it, [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/beta-version Beta Version] is almost as epic.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/lies-with-the-sea Lies With the Sea] deserves its own mention, as well.

* This troper's absolute favorite is [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pumpkin-tide Pumpkin Tide]

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/no-release No Release] is the ultimate caliginous romance ballad.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-prelude The Prelude] is simply beautiful. Especially the little remix of Homestuck in the middle.

* Arguably, the ''[http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/sburb whole album]''. It is not only beautiful all the way through, but is essentially a story told in piano. It can be a story telling of the events in Homestuck, or a story in and of itself with a little imagination. ''The Prelude'' leads up to the story. ''Genesis'' creates the setting. ''Eden'' introduces the characters. ''Exodus'' sets up a conflict. ''Requiem'' escalates the conflict. ''The Meek'' and ''Chronicles'' acts as a backdrop for the characters' effort to solve the conflict. ''Rapture'' and ''Creation'' seem lead up to the climax ''Revelations I''. ''Revelations II'' works as a resolution. ''Revelations III'' is perfect as an epilogue, possibly hinting at future stories to come. It could really work well as the soundtrack for most any story, all done on real piano. [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Awesome.]]

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/carapacian-dominion Carapacian Dominion], the ambient track that opens the album, is a really fun mix of [[Desert Punk]] and the metallic nature of the carapaces who walk it.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/years-in-the-future Years In The Future] is an excellent atmospheric piece that perfectly captures the feel of the monitor stations the Exiles spend so much time in. The cover art is also a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]] for the five Exiles.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/mayor-maynot Mayor Maynot] also deserves a mention, if only for the sudden quote of [[Blue's Clues]] near the middle.

* [[This Troper]] just can't stop listening to [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/raggy-looking-dance Raggy Looking Dance]. It's nice dancing music.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/litrichean-rioghail Litrichean-Rioghail] has a really nice Irish/Piratey feel to it, and features a remix of the EOA 2 song "Explore" in the middle, which is epic.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ruins-rising Ruins Rising] is a magnificent version of Ruins from Volume 5. The album art is pretty great, too.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/nightmare Nightmare] makes an ''epic'' final song for the album.

** Also [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/what-a-daring-dream What A Daring Dream], in a similar vein. It has such a cool, but creepy atmosphere and if you listen carefully you can actually hear the text being recited.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/hallowed-halls Hallowed Halls] is this troper's favorite excluding the remixes, feeling that it very well represents the beauty of the golden cities.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-golden-towers The Golden Towers] is pretty classy for a Prospit song.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/prospit-dreamers Prospit Dreamers] is also worth listening to.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/center-of-brilliance Center of Brilliance] is a chill song with several melodies that interweave perfectly.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/darkened-streets Darkened Streets] is a dark song that fits Derse to a T.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-obsidian-towers Obsidian Towers] is quickly becoming my favourite for its well balanced bass/string synth lines and relative complexity.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/derse-dreamers Derse Dreamers] is just... there are no words.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/core-of-darkness Core of Darkness] has that grandiose, ominous feel to it.

* The single [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/song-of-skaia Song of Skaia] is just breathtaking, with the soprano singing in Latin and ''[[The Lord of the Rings|Quenya]]''. Mark Hadley actually asked the Tolkien estate for permission, ''and they said yes.''

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/green-ghost Green Ghost] is an amazing song that seems to just fits John perfectly.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/orchid-horror Orchid Horror] has an excellent reprise of Black Rose/Green Sun, in addition to a spooky rendition of Chorale.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/red-disc Red Disc] is a remix of Atomyk Ebonpyre that has a nice feel with the instruments involved and rather chilling.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/blue-atom Blue Atom] is awesome, upbeat and jazzy, which again Radiation himself admitted as much.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/cyan-beast Cyan Beast] is a perfect example of how upbeat the album can get, and it sounds amazing.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pink-cat Roxy's] song has its mood constantly changing with interesting results.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/orange-hat Orange Hat] is simply badass.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/emerald-terror Emerald Terror] is slow compared to the other character themes, but is also very ominous and has a nice tune. Sounds like (and the cover art supports this) Jake is being followed by something that jumps out at him in the end...

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/phantasmic-youngsters Phantasmic Youngsters] is just a beautifully happy acoustic piece. It is childhood.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/clockstopper Clockstopper] blends [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922081857/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/upward-movement-dave-owns-2 every] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/beatdown-strider-style-2 Dave] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/atomyk-ebonpyre-2 theme] into one incredible song.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/vodka-mutiny Vodka Mutiny] is a major [[Ear Worm]], and [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/wv-become-the-mayor-of-cans WV: Become the Mayor of Cans] is just flat out good.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/do-the-windy-thing Do The Windy Thing] is quite excellent as well.

* Haha, oh look, a song called [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/ohgodcat Ohgodcat]. Hehe, must be an Ohgodwhat remix. Wait. Hold on... is that... Centerfold? What? Sure it doesn't make any sense, but it's awesome as hell.

* This troper considers [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/bec-noir Bec Noir] to be another awesome piece.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/the-vast-glub The Vast Glub] uses simple piano and synth effects to grow into something way more beautiful and epic than the sum of its parts.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/battle-brotocol Battle Brotocol] is a really badass Brobot song.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/coolkid Coolkid] and [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/checkmate Checkmate] are high octane aural excitement. Checkmate in particular is great boss music; just imagine facing off against Bec Noir to this.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pipeorgankind Pipeorgankind] has ''weight'' and fitting musical nods to Bach's "Tocatta and Fugue in D minor". It really is an amazing track to end the album off on. It has a haunting tune, and has hints of [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922085838/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/harlequin-2 Harlequin] mixed in.

* Gotta say that [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pale-rapture Pale Rapture] is a pretty awesome piece.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pendulum Pendulum] manages to be very rhythmical and beautiful at the same time.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/pilot-light Pilot Light] is very soothing and pleasant.

* The quirky [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dord-waltz Dord Waltz] is a nice addition to the family of Endless Climb remixes, fitting Roxy quite nicely.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/dapper-dueling Dapper Dueling], the perfect Western-inspired strife theme for Jake.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/cupcake-girl Cupcake Girl] is just fun, and makes this troper imagine a cupcake-baking Game&Watch game.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/rustless-fall A remix of Endless Climb] that pretty and trippy.

** Until [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/march-of-the-batterwitch now].

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/harleboss-2 Every] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/harlequin-rock-version-2 single] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/jokers-wild version] of [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922085838/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/harlequin-2 Harlequin].

** [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/nannaquin-2 A couple] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/hardlyquin-2 more]. These are quite distorted, but you can still hear Harlequin influences. The first is from Nannasprite's introduction, the second from John's Betty Crocker-induced mental breakdown.

* [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/planet-healer There] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/plague-doctor can] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/green-ghost truly] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922015458/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/savior-of-the-waking-world never] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/heir-transparent be] [http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/prospit-dreamers enough] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922074122/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/doctor-2 Doctor] [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922135907/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/savior-of-the-dreaming-dead remixes]. It's just that awesome.
