Indie Notes’s excellent guitar playing and stellar vocals are at their best here. They fill this song with soul, to a degree I’ve barely ever heard. When it comes to lyrics, the ponies are here in force. Twilight reflects on her ascension, the magic she’s learned, and how Celestia has helped her so much in so many ways.
Year: 2017
Mane in Green – Rarity In Love | Classical
Mane in Green creates a beautifully sweet and romantic classical work. Inspired by Rarity’s lingering feelings for Trenderhoof, this song is simply brimming with emotion and passion. The combination of piano, flute, and strings channels the heartache of unrequited love.
Michael Picher – Ancient Archeology: A Daring Do Adventure | Orchestral
This moving, Egyptian piece draws on Daring Do’s many adventures and the score of “The Mummy” for inspiration. Haunting, eerie strings and light piano notes guide us through an ancient tomb filled with lost artifacts and deadly traps. The masterfully orchestrated music is well paired with a lovely bit of SFM work by Starstrike42896, in a sort of PMV style.
[ASOS] Ponytronic – Memories | Future Bass
Tronic’s got an interesting take on future bass here with his feature on Lollipop. His sound design especially constantly seems to be a standout feature in his music – not even in the usual sense of bass sounds, but generally the melodic elements that fill the soundscape.
[ASOS] Viricide Filly – Spearmint | Downtempo
Coming from the first compilation album of the A State of Sugar Crew: Lollipop, Viricide Filly creates an awesome and chill track that I can consider one of the best tracks from the album! The slow-tempo breaks, the pads and everything that Viricide did on this track turn out pretty amazing! One of the best, made by one of the best! I certainly recommend this track for you!

[PP] Violin Melody – f0x!n7h380x | Hardcore
Coming from the fifth Pinkamena Party project: INCOHESIVE HORSE ADESIVE. Violin Melody debuts in PP crew making one of the most kickass tracks that she ever did in her musical career.
Everything in this track is incredible, Violin did an awesome job and I love it! The kicks, the synths, the mastering and mixing, the beginning part and the somehow pleasuring change from the soft to the hard! This is a tune from the depths of Pinkamena Party! And the visuals of the song on Violin’s channel provided by her and ObscureDragon are pretty awesome and aggressive! (Also Violin says that this song has a secret, try to find it)
Download or buy (for a good cause) the fifth Pinkamena Party project: INCOHESIVE HORSE ADESIVE.
[ASOS] Metapony – Land Of The Rising Moon | House
Fresh from the new A State Of Sugar collective album Lollipop, Metapony delivers their classic house sound with what is still imo some of the cleanest mixing I’ve ever heard – and I’m not just talking about the fandom’s music! Apparently the first half of the track actually started as a remix of “Let The Sun Rise” by Morgsch and is meant to represent the day, while the second half of the track was made about Luna and is meant to depict a calm night. And so, with the balance of Sun and Moon, harmony is maintained in Equestria.
The L-Train – Fashion Victim (feat. Elias Frost) | Industrial Metal
The sixth and last chapter of the “With Friends / About Friends” series, The L-Train here collaborates with Elias Frost for an amazing Rammstein-sounding tune about Rarity. The visuals were inspired from the last Rammstein album Liebe Ist Für Alle Da and Elias Frost’s vocals are so similar to Till Lindermann vocals, it’s really amazing! Imagine if Elias sung this tune in German? It would be a complete Neue Deutsche Härte piece! The industrial keyboard sounds, the guitar riffs, the drums and awesome vocals are on fire, just like the rest of the series! If you are into Rammstein, Oomph! or Eisbrecher you should really check out this song!
[P@D] Pony Music – Solitude | Melodic Dubstep
With his trademark vocal chopping and unique electronic sounds, Pony Music makes a triumphant return! The drums on this piece are simple but strong, with the kick in particular standing out. Awestriking melodies and their accompanying vocals lead us through ever higher levels of energies. Then Pony Music brings it all crashing down with a wonderfully melodic, very wubby drop. Emotional on a level rare for dubstep, this song is a genuine delight to listen to.
Vylet Pony – World Adrift | Synthpop
Another little gem from Mystic Acoustics, this track follow’s Vylet’s synthpop(?) style that resembles certain Porter Robinson tracks (I don’t think I ever got off the Worlds hype train tbh). Be sure to check it out if you like that style, and ICYMI, the entire album review is here.
