iambowman:

It’s here. Featuring 37 tracks (and some bonuses), this is the longest Homestuck album effort since Alterniabound and features the music team in full form. Most of us think this is our best album ever and you should go for it ASAP.

The tracks I was personally involved in were:

• “Calamity“ - an electronic track based around Gamzee’s return
• “Ocean Stars Falling” - a rock cover of Mark Hadley’s “Ocean Stars” from the Squiddles! Sing-along album
• “Escape Pod” - a bizarre rock/electronic track based on the adventures of the Bunny, WV, and CD in deep space
• “Frog Hunt” - a cool Zaiwunal-style track based on Jade’s long quest to find and clone frogs
• “Gust of Heir” - a minimalist written by Tyler Dever, produced by myself with additional sequencing from Clark Powell
• “Revered Return” - written by Nick Smalley years ago, produced as a rock track by myself
• “How Do I Live (D8 Night Version)” - a special little album bonus you’re just going to have to download to hear

I also rounded up a great deal of album art from some friends, but before I go writing a whole new post just for that stuff, here’s a list of links to good friends of mine who submitted art:

• Tavia Morra, art team member (also my girlfriend)
• Richard Gung, art team member (also a cool guy I know)
• Peter Turner, art and music team member (also the guy who created March Eridan)
• Victoria Grace Elliot, comics editor of The Daily Texan (where I used to have a comic strip)
• Rachel Weiss, comics artist for The Daily Texan (not a famous movie star)

I’ll be sure to repost more great stuff about each of these cool, cool cats later. In the meantime listen to and enjoy Volume 8! Also be sure to check out the newly recompiled Volumes 1-4, now available at a new low price!

Heeeee, you should check this out!
