Matching an epic artwork of the finale with epic music, Zephysonas provides such an intense theme featuring lovely melodies, as well as Osoch on the drums and Soul Strings on the bass. A team effort, strong enough to vanquish these villains for sure!
Year: 2019
Slitherkitty – Versus III: Endless Nightmare | Album | Electronic / Soundtrack
In continuation to the previous installments in the album series, Versus and Versus II, Slitherkitty crafted more OC-themed and canon pony-themed tracks, designed as BGM for “versus” battles with all those characters! The Soundtrack inspiration is a delight to hear, and the tracks are quite creative with their progression, and calling back to melodic styles of OST tracks of the past too. With tracks dedicated to Alicorn Trixie, Cozy Glow, Tantabus as a last battle theme, and even Pinkie vocal chopping in the second track of the album, there’s definitely a whole lot to appreciate and explore! Who knows what you may find! Beware of Psycho Lyra and Fury Heart…
[P@D] NeverLastStanding – To Home | Rock / Happy Hardcore
Track 6 of Ponies at Dawn: Eternal is the album’s first rock-driven song, and serves as a brilliant tribute to the show. All throughout the song are fast-paced drums, major key synths and to top it all off, MLP vocal chops which are even spliced together to make new lyrics. The song also has three different phases, starting off which electronically-charged rock music reminiscent of an anime, a brief orchestral segment to slow things down, and then towards the end, a big build up before going into a fully electronic motif lead by a powerful kick sound in front of the cheery synths. The track makes it clear that the show has left its mark on us, and it feels like the mane 6 are singing directly to us!
Damien Nagy – Salvation | Soundtrack
Another OST track used for Damien’s MP3 Saga “Erebys” and composed by Damien himself, this song is not only providing a BGM accompaniment to the scene, but enacts the dialogue as well with beautiful vocals sung in French. We don’t often get French songs in the community, so this is very welcome! The second episode of the MP3 Saga is out, by the way!
Rusty Thorsell – The Gibble The Gooble | Indie Pop
It’s Spooktober, and our beloved Rusty answered the call to make a fittingly spooky track! With the unique-ness that you’d expect, The Gibble The Gooble enacts a wonky dialogue further depicted by the cover art, and playful melodies are blending with the eldritch vocals so well!
Remember Falling – The Sun is Dark | Hybrid Orchestral
After a long hiatus, Remember Falling has returned with her first track since April, The Sun is Dark. This one in particular is a piece from her upcoming album Dawn Into Dusk, and the emotion felt in this song is palpable. From both the vocals with lyrical themes of recovery and longing to be found to the hybrid orchestral backing which starts off slowly before picking up and then climaxing with a big boost in tempo towards the end, this number is a great example of what RF is capable of. Dawn Into Dusk might also be coming out before this year ends, so keep an eye out!
[P@D] Totalspark – You (feat. Namii) | Garage
Nearing the tail end of Ponies at Dawn: Eternal with track 69 is a collab between Totalspark and Namii. It’s a beautiful garage song with plenty of atmosphere, all brought together with heavy reverb, soft piano chords and a duet between the two musicians. Both of their voices fit the song perfectly while being backed by a subtle drum beat which acts as a great supplement to the rest of the track, also making a great fit in the very last segment of the album, bringing it all down to a gentle simmer.
Dizzy Inmotion – Miss Shimmer | Hip-Hop
The continuation to the story of Dizzy’s concept album, this musical part happening after the previous skit is enacting Sunset’s inner battle with the darkness in her! Epic lyrics and vocals of much conviction are playing the struggle so well, and a lot more depth just got added as the excitement for what will happen next is reaching its climax!
Paloris – Hope (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Liquid Drum & Bass
Comforting melodies and an uplifting rhythm are depicting the view once you’re up there flying with Dashie, in musical form courtesy of Tw3Lv3 who remixed Paloris’ original and reflected Scootaloo’s Hope of flying! We sure love these “sisters” and what they do together! Thank you Tw3Lv3 for such a heavenly remix!
Daniel Ingram – Hearts as Strong as Horses (Paloris Remix) | Progressive House
A bright and reflective remix in Progressive House style, Paloris’ tribute to Hearts as Strong as Horses brings forth the cherished CMC vocals along punchy beats and uplifting synth melodies, and makes for a blissful experience along the crusaders!
