MelodyBrony got the dream team together for this one! Himself on rhythm guitar, Luck on lead, Agatan’s vocals, Whirlwind on drums, and IvoryBrony on keys make for a killer birthday tribute to a personal favorite of mine from Forest Rain. It’s as full of energy as the original, and every bit as much of a joy to have on repeat.

Koron Korak – No Answers Refine Doubts | Dark Ambient
Boy, this one is bleak. Koron Korak’s latest outing is a vent piece in the form of a dark ambient track, No Answers Refine Doubts. Dark, deep synths carry the track along, with other sounds from a piano and harsh droning synths coming in occasionally to switch it up over the song’s 8 minute length. I have a big soft spot for ambient music like this. It’s so different from the norm and often times minimal, but there’s always a looming feeling to it, hence the name “dark ambient”. It might not be for you, but I recommend you give it a spin at least once.
StableTwoStallion – Forty | Soundtrack
Wow, talk about ominous. STS’ track here captures that nightmare jet-fuel vibe in the best way. As a Project Horizons OST, this one really sets up the foreboding “unsafe” atmosphere, and is reminiscent of Silent Hill or perhaps Eternal Darkness. A member of the repeat club for sure, but I hope I don’t get nightmares.
Ardhy Mahardhy – Together Until The End | Melodic Dubstep
So, everypony, today we come back to Ardhy Mahardhy (whose music you might have seen on here before) with a lovely Melodic Dubstep track inspired by “The Ending of the End Part 2”. This six minute track is sure to mesmerize you with its lovely synth and sudden in-between string verses. The track starts out with some beautiful piano followed by some exquisite strings which push the piano more into the background until you get a small buildup and the amazing synths set in to really give this thing the Dubstep feel. The synths get a buildup of their very own into the actual drop. The drop adds more synths and creates a really Melodic aura which makes the song even better. After that we get a second verse where the strings take over again and give this track a vibrant, lively feeling before the synths take the lead once more. Then we quickly return to the drop for a worthy end to this six minute masterpiece.

Ocean Melody – Autumn Falls | Orchestral
We all know the feeling of getting done with a hard day of work or school and just wanting to lie down for a while, close our eyes, and let all the stress flow away. This song from Ocean Melody is perfectly suited for that. The five minute track is simple and straightforward, exactly what you want from a chillout track, but its simplicity doesn’t make it boring. It changes throughout with new instruments being introduced while others get taken out which gives the piece a lively feeling. The mellow-but-engaging result is a very difficult target to hit but Melody does it perfectly! And now please enjoy this lovely track.

Nicolas Dominique – The Daybreaking Nightmare | Trance
Something spacey from the mind of Nicolas Dominique. The Daybreaking Nightmare is a trance track dedicated to the dastardly duo of Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker. For a track made in a short time for the halloween season, it’s so polished and full of atmosphere. The piano melody, while simple, really sets the tone for the rest of the song alongside the impressive synth riffs and heavenly choir sounds. You can really hear the dynamics between the two sisters throughout the whole thing!
[P@D] 7th Stive & ponycutz – Blood Flavor | Bassline
As the genre would suggest, Blood Flavor is a complex and bass heavy track from Ponies At Dawn: Eclipse! Lots of distortion, lots of variety in the low end with many, many elements that remind me of the trippy moods of psytrance and the brashness of jungle terror. 7th Stive and ponycutz ensured to cram A LOT into this three minute journey! From the glitches, and the myriad of gritty sounds, to its unorthodox pulsing beat and frankly, It just works. Very, very well.
Maddie Tourmaline – The Flower Gardener | Ambient Pop
Now this is an interesting one! This piece has a very mystical yet powerful personality it feels fairly simple and straight forward however the way the instrumentation and percussion is used from the drones to the the spaced out chimes and bass… not an ounce of potential is wasted and the whimsical vocals really tie everything together, AND DON’T GET ME STARTED ON THE DYNAMICS! Maddie has grabbed my attention for sure here and I’m very intrigued to see what else they have in store!
Daniel Ingram – The Magic of Friendship Grows (Koron Korak Remix) | Electro
Koron Korak is back with a remix of the wonderful song from the series finale! Its got a wonderful rolling progression with the perfect atmosphere to set the mood! The snappy drums and the mixture of string and strong synth leads is a very welcome combo that I’d love to see more of! Every remix I’ve heard of this song is always a treat for me and this one is no exception!
[P@D] BlackIceMusic – Eternal Night | Melbourne Bounce
Fresh off the press, BlackIce’s Eternal Night is a groovy iconic and spooky tune embracing samples of Nightmare Moon and has those signature Melbourne vibes we’ve come to expect from them! The melody is quite intricate and the way everything is meshed together will ensure your attention is grabbed throughout. From the one shots and show samples to the driving bassline and switch ups this track is a banger and don’t forget to check the rest of Ponies At Dawn Eclipse!
