Sprocket’s magnus opus album The Princess Variations definitely showcases a wide variety of genres and musical inspirations, and they are always so tasteful. Blissful Classic Rock vocals are accompanied by an Orchestral instrumental that definitely displays much talent and passion, not without reminding certain songs from Roger Water’s The Wall.

Start of JustAnotherPonyGuy’s writeup
Nevermourn tries out a most peculiar and intriguing blend of genres in Azure, his submission to HMC volume 4! I really adore the Fluttershy vocals, from So Many Wonders. Nevermourn puts some wonderful pitch-shifting on them in a very novel composition.

Silva Hound – Taco Tuesday (feat. Brittney Ackerman) (Silver Fenix Remix) | Big Room
Silver Fenix wasn’t afraid to take on a song from the famous Silva Hound, and he did wonders with this Big Room remix of the tune that dropped moments before BronyCon! Probably Silver’s most refined piece yet, it delivers a crazy party spirit along the iconic sample from Sonata Dusk. A fire remix indeed!
[HMC] Viricide Filly – Eleanor’s Ocean | Indie Dance / House
Viricide’s music is not only quite unique and experimenting in unseen directions, it is also imbued with deep meanings as the amazing album Back From Reality has shown, and this song from the newest Horse Music Central compilation album continues the story of Eleanor (Viricide Filly’s meaningful OC) while pertaining to the theme and cover art of the album in some way, which is quite delectable. Showcasing that now almost signature take on vocals, the track also explores new sounds over a House body that is definitely unlike any other.
SeyN AQ – Spark | Progressive House
Showcasing an uplifting Prog House style and blessed by Flutterchops, this track from SeyN AQ’s PbN Project EP is making that gorgeous artwork by Atlas-66 Spark with magical sounds and happy vibes. Forever emotional, the Flutterchops here conducted in quite a refreshing way are doing a great job at completing the progressive instrumental full of many wonders.
[HMC] Totalspark – The Advent of Midnight | Cinematic Dubstep
Totalspark’s tune off the recent Horse Music Central Volume 4 compilation album is a cinematic-oriented track progressing into EDM elements and that makes it quite the unique hybrid track. An epic and heavy song definitely fitting that artwork of Nightmare Moon by TurnipBerry, it also displays beautiful melodies that are in the vein of Totalspark’s streak of emotional Night tracks.
CainbowRrash – Farewell Moments | Orchestral
It’s always so awesome to get new compositions by CainbowRrash, and this one, inspired by Fallout Equestria, conveys so well the tragic and “desert” mood of the theme with an inspired progression conducted beautifully and melodies and instruments enacting the story so well. The track ends with solemn yet powerful trumpet play by CainbowRrash that is the icing on the cake and that empowers the song with even more emotion.
Crystal Slave – Falter (Flittzy Remix/Cover) | Alternative Pop
Heartfelt music is the best, and here our beloved Flittzy delivers a meaningful cover/remix of a meaningful song to him, and that definitely adds another layer of appreciation to the reborn Falter. Taking on one of the most unique singers that the community has seen, Crystal Slave aka ReuelBrony (who has unfortunately deleted his whole channel), is no easy feat, yet the power of emotion and the strong feelings that Flittzy nurtured for the original certainly played a part in resulting in wonderful new vocals from the composer and singer who also gave a new arrangement to the song that, like many of Crystal Slave’s original works, has very deep lyrics and relatable messages for those who shared the same kind of experiences.
Game-BeatX14 – Changeling Invasion | Dark Electro
Some of you may know Game-BeatX14 from his awesome pony wallpapers on DeviantArt, yet the multi-skilled artist is now taking on the world of pony music on YouTube and his debut track is an enthralling Dark Electro tune about a changeling invasion. Definitely fitting very well to that theme, this onslaught of dark and intricate synths is portraying the assault with sharpness and passion.
Daniel Ingram – You’re In My Head Like a Catchy Song (Jyc Row Remix) | Orchestral
The fateful episode that is The Perfect Pear and its very emotional and gorgeous song continue to inspire with now Orchestral maestro Jyc Row delivering his own tribute to the masterpiece, with the talent he’s known for. Sublimating Felicia Day‘s vocals as Buttercup once again, the Orchestral remix conveys epic and regal vibes, but also the joy, happiness and complicity of the moment shared by the two lovebirds.
