By Clark Powell & Astro Kid. Remix of “Beatdown” by Curt Blakeslee.

Beatdown sees a whole slew of new mixes on this album. This track takes a little while to crank its way up to full-on face-melt. But by the second half, after layer upon layer of mix is brought on, it’s a hell of a jam.

Back to Homestuck’s musical roots with an improvisational take on his original Beatdown. It’s probably the simplest track on the album. I really like the freestyle flow of it, kept pace by that heavy ‘splat’ downbeat.

This song has my favorite piece of track art, too. With all of Dave’s recent revelations about his upbringing, the picture’s 50% comical, 50% disconcerting. I think my exact reaction was “heh heh…. Oh.”
