Exotic. The choice of instrumentation establishes setting well enough, but I think the melody shines brighter in a later remix (the very next track on the album, as it happens).

A bit of easy listening, with a melodic lead guitar that flirts with a surf sound. That lasts up until the second half, when a deep chiptune bassline takes over the lead.

All strings, and the growly, note-bending cello at the bottom gives this one some extra character.

Clark Powell’s album Namesake is available for purchase at Bandcamp.

The last official track on Homestuck Vol 9 closes things out with a bit of slow, soft piano. Sort of a relaxing lullaby quality to it.

A simple, enticing melody serves as the title track to the fan album Loftlocked. It’s a little plain, but I’m kind of a sucker for austere piano solos.

The album Loftlocked Vol. 1 can be downloaded for free from the Skaianet Download Database.

Crab Waltz, by Toby “Radiation” Fox, is featured in one of the OpenBound Flash animations in Homestuck. It’s one of the few tracks so featured that has not yet been released on an official album.

I really like the direction of this one. It’s as though Karkat burned up all of his energetic vitriol too fast, and now he’s just moping around the meteor, looking for people to bother.
