+    The SoundCloud description for this track reads "Homestuck remixes, lots of them." just like the other tracks also uploaded on [[date:8/12/2011]], so it was presumably included with the original [[album:shenanigans-mspa]] set. It's not included there today though, and was probably replaced by [[track:irradiated-shenanigans-mspa|the updated version]] ([[track:irradiated-lofam2|made for LOFAM2]]).
+
+    Despite its SoundCloud upload in August, this original version of the track dates earlier than [[track:irradiated-animation-version|the animation version]] from February 2011.
+
+    This track has the same duration as the later version. By that alone, it's ostensibly possible that this track was included on Shenanigans: MSPA's [Bandcamp release](https://web.archive.org/web/20130409111336/http://sparksd2145.bandcamp.com/). But it doesn't seem likely, since the updated version is from [[date:6/20/2012]], predating the Bandcamp release by three months. [The download from skaia.net](http://dl.skaia.net/albums), aligning with Bandcamp's track list, affirms the updated version is what got included there.

-    As the SoundCloud description and comment there indicate, this isn't the original version of Irradiated. It does appear to be the same version as included in [the Bandcamp release](https://web.archive.org/web/20130409111336/http://sparksd2145.bandcamp.com/) of Shenanigans: MSPA, with matching 2:16 duration and included in [the SoundCloud album/set](https://soundcloud.com/sparksd2145/sets/homestuck-mixes).
+    [[track:irradiated-thomas-ibarra|The original]] was also released on SoundCloud back in August, alongside a handful of other remixes (which stuck around on this album). However, it dates to earlier than [[track:irradiated-animation-version|the animation version]] from February 2011, so this updated version follows the original by at least fourteen months.

+
+    This is a rearranged version of [[track:irradiated-thomas-ibarra|the original]], and its release on SoundCloud precedes the [[track:irradiated-shenanigans-mspa|updated version]] - closely aligned with the original - by eight months. However, this version of the track dates back at least to February 2011 (when [[flash:fan-animation-homestuck|the animation]] was released). Since the composer describes this track as a rework, the original Irradiated was written even earlier.
