HOMESTUCK - EOA5 [S] Cascade - Pre-Alpha

Compilation of some .mp3 files from Toby's archive. I've used second part of Director's Cut and entire Savior of the Dreaming Dead, because there is no early versions of these tracks cannot be found.
Also, there is more interesting stuff coming later.
Tracks:
0:00 cascade1.mp3
2:24 Cascade - Director's Cut
6:03 flarlet2.mp3
7:57 Savior of the Dreaming Dead
12:25 Black Hole/Green Sun (named in the archive as ENDOFACTFINALPARThhard.mp3)

I absolutely love unused Flare.

[@warxtron]

This made me realize that Explore and Cascade sound similar

[@antheosenigma]

WarxTron Explore has the same leitmotif as Flare.

[@warxtron]

@@antheosenigma No it's not, two completely different songs.

[@antheosenigma]

Wow, that was fast.
Anyway, yes it is the same leitmotif,
Listen to the Rolling notes in Explore and Flare, they’re the same.
G, A#, B, G, A#, G, B, A#, B, G, (repeat 8 times, initial g shifting down a bit each time, until Measure 7&8 where the whole set shift down.)

[@antheosenigma]

It’s more that Flare has the same Leitmotif as Explore, since Explore came first, but we’re getting into the weeds with that.

[@warxtron]

@@antheosenigma it's still two different chord progressions and melodies. They're similar, but Flare is an original song.

I think I recognize that violin at 1:21...
edit, 4/15/19: There are no additional violins at 1:21. There is a violin at 1:51. Either I made a typo, I was hallucinating, or both.

Oooh, I really like the alpha-Cascade combined with the Director's Cut! Would you be willing to make a vid with just that song, pretty please?

[@theorangeninja6486]

1:17 is where it gets good

[@neosniper8940]

I think I hear upward movement in the background 7:33

[@joaquinbarrera9593]

My GOG Flare is good.

[@CaribouGutSludge]

Holy shit?? This is so cool?? Also, based on the title of green sun/black rose, was s cascade supposed to be the end of homestuck? Thats so weird to imagine.

[@DokterKaj]

No, I think it means what it says: "End of Act [5], Final Part" as in it's the final song of EOA5.

[@CaribouGutSludge]

@@DokterKaj oh, woops, that probably makes more sense. Still an interesting thought, though!

[@dave1049]

shoot... I'd buy this

[@BUGFlower413]

That first version of Cascade is absolutely epic!!! Why did they take out the Explore and the Beatdown part?? TwT TwT

[@volnartheunforgiving3952]

The Explore part is WAY too calm, but Beatdown is really cool, it seems like a lot of the changes to this version to get the final version were changing leitmotifs to instead be like 3 notes long

[@strudel1347]

@@volnartheunforgiving3952explore part could’ve been used as a calm before the storm, sort of like an intro and an update on how much has changed since the first time we heard that song

[@BUGFlower413]

@@strudel1347 I was kinda thinking that, like showing what happened before so far, like Jade's death, John about to start the scratch, Dave and Rose going through the Furthest Ring, etc

toby's archive as in the "tobyfox.net/msuics" thing?
or did you mean the soundtest?

[@altwheatleymf]

No, it was from a leaked Toby's archive.

[@dreemurrZed]

@@altwheatleymf wait, leaked?

[@cease7776]

[@tenorHarlequin]

Is there anywhere I can find the remastered version of Explore in the beginning?

[@Zolerian]

From which version/release of the archive this comes from?

[@JazzyWaffles]

Where did you get these tracks even?
