Well, my first article for P@D Eclipse is one of the most rockin tracks I’ve heard, and it taps into the heart and soul of what makes the art of Rock n’ Roll so good. At track 27, the song takes the theme of taking a road trip in the middle of summer with some of your best pony pals just enjoying the road and the wind in your face and mane. My goodness. For starters, 4everfreebrony owns the highway with his guitar playing. I’ve gotten to know him a bit, and I will tell you that this man loves the sound of classic guitar, and the way he plays on this track really shows off that love. Those sweet riffs and that solo that hits would have the rock gods smiling big. If you really want to know just how good 4FB is on his guitar work…WELL! You found the right song. But the sound of rock is not complete if you don’t have a drummer that brings it. My boi Drummershy is just the dude for that!. Making it into his first real feature on P@D, Drummershy feeds into the mix with percussion that only he could do. A good drummer brings out the very best in any song, any genre. Close your eyes and listen to the rhythm of his beats; Drummershy shows why he is so good, and he adds so much flavor to this rockin’ tune. His understanding of how to make the other aspects of the song that much better is so overlooked by people. To be frank, this right here is why Drummershy has earned his spot one this album. He and 4everfreebrony have such magical chemistry together, and this collaboration really shows just how amazing old fashioned rock and roll is and always will be. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.

Glaze – Beyond Her Garden (Songbird Choir Remix) | Hybrid Orchestral
(You can listen to the classic right here!)
Woah, talk about a brony classic getting an overhaul in this remix by Songbird Choir! Oh, Glaze’s classic vocals and that catchy chorus that sounds like it is inspired by Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” is now intertwined with some pretty orchestra elements that really make this remix so fun and dance happy. Music like this is all a part of what they do over in the Dustcar group, which gives musicians a theme for which they have a limited time to make and enter a song in that round of friendly competition. The melodies are delightful and the mixing and modding of the vocals is a sweet jiving sound for the ears! Catch this remix and have some fun, my bronies.

Seven Ponies – Shadows | Melodic Dubstep
I’m not sure why this song fell short of making it on P@D Eclipse, but there is no way I am going to let a track like this go unnoticed. Not on this Qilin’s watch. Nightmare Moon is always watching and waiting in the shadows for her moment, or is this Princess Luna on Nightmare Night walking around as Nightmare Moon, cosplaying her darker self for her holiday? Either way, the melodies are fitting for a dark and powerful force making itself known. They will convince you that the princess of the night demands your love…and your SWEETS! The Dubstep parts of this track make you feel that the princess is just looking for a good time. Luna walks around with other ponies talking proudly like her former self and dancing to these bangers on her night! Or is it all a trap by the real Nightmare Moon? This track does pack a great punch for any Nightmare Moon fan. The most notable thing about this track is its constant flow of dark, mythical energy that forms the core of the song. Those keynotes that go running with the bassline are killer. It’s truly a party with the Mare in the Moon. Ya better bring cider to offer her! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Studio Quinn – Dreams, A Luna Song (feat. JustKat) | Pop
We’ve got a dreamy track here about Princess Luna finding love; the only problem is that it’s only in the dream realm. Quinn once again teams up with JustKat to sing a love ballad. There are some very soft vocals with some soft rock guitar melodies that wrap themselves around the duo singing about the dreamers’ dream lives. The vocals tell the story of how this relationship developed over time as Luna kept showing up in this stallion’s dreams and those butterflies then started to happen between them. The story is pretty tender and sweet but also problematic due to circumstances that are out of their control, so their love only happens in their dreams. But knowing Princess Luna, she will find this stallion, and friendship and romance will win in the end. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Voltex Pixel – Assignments | Lo-fi
Oh, this is different! Voltex Pixel, putting out some Lo-Fi. Let’s do this! Oh, this track is so adorkable and so smooth, and you just can’t help but die from the artwork of Twilight Sparkle! The beat and melody sounds like a mix of smooth R&B with how the beat flows along with the vibing cool vocal chops in the background. Mixed in is the melody which is so cute and wondrous! You can say the Big Princess Twilight is looking back at her time as a student and smiling at the good times! Lo-Fi and Bookhorse! So relaxing! As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[Equinity] Blackened Blue – Maybe (feat. MC-Arch) (Tw3Lv3 Remix) | Hip Hop
A remix of this track already! Well to be fair this single has been out for a bit. But when it comes to Equinity 03: Breach, it is always worth telling people about this amazing album. I wrote an article about the original track for ASOS: Brownie, and you can check that out here. Tw3Lv3, who has frankly been one of the musicians in this fandom that has been on fire most of this year, has yet again remixed a track and given it its own flavor. Blackened Blue’s beats and MC-Arch’s lyrics are now reinforced with a very slick hip hop beat that gives this track a satisfying thump. But wait and watch this video where Tw3Lv3 pops up–this dude can play guitar and play the drums! Talk about throwing the rock back into this track! What a treat. As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Vibeponiez – HomeWork | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
The following article of Vibeponiez: HomeWork is a Horse Music Herald “All-Out-Attack!” Collab that is co-written by DrakeEmberHeart and Blackened Blue.
VibePoniez has returned with their second full-length album and third release overall, Homework! The album features 17 tracks from some of the fandom’s most talented and chilled-out electronic and lo-fi artists.
(Continued after the break)
Sky Sprinter – A Performance To Die For | House
You know, I love tracks such as this that show off an OC’s talent. This tune is a commission piece for a track about a character (who I believe is a deer OC) putting on some greatness before a crowd of ponies with some flawless tricks and grace that captivates the audience! The beat is so sick and electrifying, and the elements used put you right in the front row taking in this spectacle. Those keyboard notes are pretty rad I tell ya. Give Sky Sprinter (formally Jai Hyuk Choi) some love, and as always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
OnlyJustCrazy – Honest Ethics | Electro
Oh, we’ve got ourselves a very experimental track from OnlyJustCrazy with Applejack as the theme! This song is a love letter and funny way of showing love to the honest and strong AJ, with a large assortment of AJ vocal chops to please any fan with her charm and Applejack-isms. The melody has this beautiful and epic feel that gives AJ this amazing aura around her as a loved character. The vocal chops themselves are really integrated into the flow of the melody and the style of the bassline, and a track about AJ wouldn’t seem fitting without some good ol’ country guitar with the magic of FL stock sounds as OnlyJustCrazy has said in the video description. I say this is a lovely track my dude! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[Equinity] Night Blaze – Moontown | Orchestral
When we reviewed Equinity 03: Breach, we said there were so many really good and different tracks. This is one of them. After a few listens I realized this track went way under the radar; knowing what this track is about now, it’s fantastic. The theme is all about Night Blaze’s theory on the origins of the bat ponies and how this song can be is just fascinating! Them living and building a kingdom on the moon with the help of Princess Luna and learning to live their lives with night dragons… Just wow! (Not going to give everything away, the story is in the video description.) This track paints that picture of the kingdom of bat ponies with elements used like the piano, orchestral horns, violins and basses. Some awesome electronic harmonics are sprinkled in too to give this wondrous feeling of a thriving kingdom much like Equestria, (does this hint that Luna wasn’t evil; why as Nightmare Moon in her banishment?) and there is even a pretty epic guitar used with the score, and through this track you hear the bat ponies singing out in harmony as they are thankful for the help of the princess of the night. This is an amazing track that gives any fan of the bat ponies some joy, but the song however doesn’t explain why bat ponies have an addiction to mangos however, LOL. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
