So, I finally finished updating those notes.

Confessions & Lamentations: A Babylon 5 Soundtrack (13216 words) by Andraste

Fandom: Babylon 5
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings
Summary: The story of thirteen prophecies, eleven tragic romances, eight wars, and one very special space station.

A fandom soundtrack for Babylon 5, originally made for the Fandom Soundtrack Project in 2005. Now 'remastered' and available on 8tracks.

Irony alert: the notes for this FST are almost twice as long as the longest story I have ever posted to the AO3. But hey, you try explaining all of Babylon 5 in less than 13,000 words with musical accompaniment. Especially when you've made a net addition of twenty-three tracks since the first time you did this.

I have no idea if anyone will ever read any of it, but I restrained myself from making notes like UGH, LORIEN and LONDO AND G'KAR HAVE A DRINK AND IT IS THE GREATEST THING EVER and LONDO IS SAD AND IT'S JUST AS WELL BABYLON 5 DOESN'T HAVE KARAOKE NIGHT anyway.

I WILL READ IT.

And encourage anyone else reading to do so.

So pleased this is up!

Have you heard the special version of "Red Right Hand" that Nick Cave did for Scream 3? It's got completely different lyrics, and as soon as I heard it I thought "these are terrifying apposite to the Centauri situation at the start of S4". It's the one that begins "Take a little walk to the edge of town, now spread your wings and fly".

Oh, come on, you knew I was going to read it regardless??

(uh, also, you called Sinclair "John" in the track 9 text)

I warn you that you might get five separate squeaky replies, mostly because I'm already grinning from ear to ear that someone else 1) remembers there are Aqua tracks that aren't Barbie Girl and 2) there's a reason Cartoon Heroes is in a minor key. And Apollo 440!!!

And there's a Sunday Bloody Sunday cover I haven't heard!!

And Sigur Ros for Kosh. Yes, this is Vorlon music.

Facades sounds so peculiarly sinister.
