> The second album by mythical prog act Sunsetters has finally been released. The year is 2002. The universe is not quite our own. Back in the universe that is our own, by secluding myself from the world for several years and inhaling the fumes of the gods I was able to catch glimpses of this album, enough to enable me to transcribe it all into midi format. You’ll have to make do; this is the best rock album ever made, in their world and in ours. It’s gonna fuck your shit.

> This is one of those posts I’m gonna have to ask you to share. We’ve been working on this since 2014. The sheet music spans hundreds of pages. We worked pretty damn hard on this, and we’re releasing it for free.

I don’t intend on making a habit of plugging my non-Homestuck stuff on this blog, but look, if you like The Grubbles and wish there were more soundfont-based fictional rock bands to listen to, I just finished this the other day. It took five years to write this. I taught myself music theory in the process. It is the length of your average feature film. And it can be downloaded for free, with a neat commentary booklet and a strange little fictional preamble– or you can follow the lyrics in real-time via five lyric videos. Or you can not worry about the lyrics at all and just enjoy the music!

Give it time. Let it sink in. There’s a lot to process.

Thank you.
