For the first one, the artist credit on that page is “Studio X Labs”. They appear to be a producer though, not the artist. I’m pretty sure the artist credit should be Paul Ruskay since he made the original music, right? They have a website here: Services | Studio X Labs
The second one doesn’t list artists, but I again assume it should be Paul Ruskay.
Additionally, would these be categorized under the original “Homeworld” and “Homeworld 2” release groups, or should they get their own release groups?
I hope someone can help me figure this out, because these are awesome albums and I’d love to have them in MusicBrainz. Thanks!
With so many game rips, different versions etc, it can be tricky, but hopefully this helps:
If you know the composer, enter it ‘correctly’. So in this case if you know it’s Paul Ruskay, I would credit him (note that in the Wiki page you linked for Homeworld 1 a few tracks are credited to others)
I always add this stuff to the same release group. Generally they are the same tracks as the official release, cut differently, some extra tracks that were missing etc. And it helps findability to group them.
But - @ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPythondisagrees with me, they may have something to add.
But new release group or not you can just get stuck in and add stuff - it can always be fixed up later!
There’s lots of stuff that don’t get any answers on these forums, simply because there is no consensus.
That can be confusing but really what it means is that it’s up to the editor, so edit away
Feel free to post edits in the forums if you want eyes/opinions on 'em, edits don’t get many eyes in MB (we have more edits than voters)
