Notes
- "Magic Carpet Ride" and "Baby Love Child" feature re-recorded English vocals.
gollark: It runs some files through LZW compression when they're saved.
gollark: Oh, and Hypercycle doesn't do on disk compression, Tau does. But it does have a more efficient and secure updater.
gollark: There were some tweaks made to the cryptographic code the omnidisk depends on, but I **think** I got it working. It's not been tested recently.
gollark: It might actually work fine, I just forgot.
gollark: Yep!
