Today we’ve got ourselves another symphonic poem from the stellar Red Spark. Since this is a symphonic poem and has a detailed story line to it I will often reference said story that Red Spark posted on his Twitter and in the description of the song on YouTube (and just for clarity: Red Spark: creator of this amazing piece, Red: Unicorn protagonist of the poem). You can hear silent violins as Red wakes up on a sunny day and stretches. Red Spark adds some deeper tones as Red suddenly realizes that his horn is gone and wings have appeared on his back. You can hear the instruments change slightly as Red begins his daily routine and quickly bumps against his door, after that you can hear the his interested in his potential new abilities as Red Spark adds some lighter higher tones. The track becomes ever so slightly more epic as Red starts thinking of actually flying. The violins return as he sets himself on attempting to fly. The song becomes more movie theme-y as Red watches the birds and thinks of copying them. The song get’s increasingly awesome as Red jumps from the second floor window and glides down gently. As Red jumps from the rooftop the song embraces the epic theme and triumphant horns sound as he finally flies. Red flies for some time until you hear drums as an air current captures him which quickly get drowned out by rising violins symbolizing him flying higher and higher and triumphant music is heard once more as he breaks through the clouds. The song calms down again as Red slowly descends and lands and as he watches the moon rise his wings slowly disappear. Wow… this might actually be my longest article yet and I feel honored that my longest article is about such a masterpiece. I can’t stress enough how much I admire Red Spark for his seemingly endless talent to make stellar Orchestral tracks and this is his best one yet.

[PP] AnimatronicPony – Fluttershy’s Tea Party | Hardstyle
If music that screams grimdark is more your style, then come on in! AnimatronicPony gives shy and timid Fluttershy the possessed and psychopath flavor for track 17 of Pinkamena Party 8. Oh dear! You’ve walked right into a party where it sounds like Fluttershy wants a little bit more than just your company, and she invites you to come out to her shed. The deep and haunting bass, the unsettling hard synths and that pounding harmonic bassline all give this track the aggressive taste it has. Sure makes ya think about what you just walked into and how to GET OUT! The video that comes with this track makes that point pretty clear. Flutters is upping her game in trying to scare her friends. The bronies over at Pinkamena Party always aim to please and bring the heavy and hard to this music community. As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[ASOS] GrazySmash – Thunderbolt (Ice Angel Remix) | Hybrid Trap
(Listen to the original HERE from P@D: Skyward)
We now give you more sweet and chocolatey music from ASOS:Chocolate, with this remix that just slaps you with flavor! Grazy’s original is all about fighting for your life in Fallout: Equestria. The same could be said in Ice Angel’s remix, and it seems like Littlepip is ready for round two with this track. The mood changes after each drop, and yes, there are 3 of them, and all emotional changes at that! We have Littlepip on the run and on high alert, trying to fight her way out of battle! With all the elements used, the feel changes after the 2nd drop with this amazing bassline that seems like the battle is in slow motion and Littlepip is taking down enemies with careful aim, and then she makes a break for it! The last mood change comes in after the final drop, when it looks like she is in the clear now, having taken down her attackers and is back to safety. This track was just awesome! At track 23, Ice Angel was able to keep the dire feeling of the original and break it down in mood changes with each drop. This is another great track from the album! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
[Helpie’s Corner] Altius Volantis – Retrospection | Synthwave
You have accidentally traveled to the past, now you are in 1980, but it is not a problem, because you have finally found a perfect place to find yourself again and do retrospection on your decisions. Well, this would be the perfect soundtrack for such a situation.
Altius Volantis transports us to the past with his newest song, during the first seconds of the song you can feel all the eighties air, with the reverberated drums and the primitive synthesizers that dominated that era. Little by little, it surrounds us with airy pads that gradually dominate the song, until in a moment they fall silent and make way for a new synthesizer that makes a sticky but dark melody, little by little those pads that were echoes of the past return to appear to harmonize with the nostalgic melody, it is quite a journey, undoubtedly the soundtrack of some science fiction movie of the 80s, but with ponies as protagonists!
This song is just a preview for the upcoming album Helpie’s Corner: “Shelter of Hope”.
AC-527 – Diamond in the Rough | Melodic Dubstep
Don’t get afraid to get dirty with this song!, AC-27 gives us a splendid melodic track. Inspired by how glamorous and elegant Rarity is, (our favorite marshmallow), throughout the track you can feel all that characteristic shine of Rarity, occupying all kinds of synthesizers and bright sounds, with very emotional and catchy melodies, even occupying the voice of Rarity in the 26th episode of the classic and nostalgic season 1, but AC-27 puts a sensational twist on it with an autotune effect, which gives a special feel to the whole song. Like a diamond in the rough on a nostalgic journey full of shine, listen.
This song is quite an experience, a great and brilliant experience, do not hesitate to listen to it!
PinkiePieSwear – Flutterwonder (Snow Swirl Remix) | Electro
The original Flutterwonder keeps getting more tributes, and this time Snow Swirl remixed it with a beautiful and rich new arrangement, all while keeping the heavenly vibes of the original intact. The outro is quite emotional and reflective too!
SeriousDamir – Witch Of Despair – The Сonsequences | Liquid Drum & Bass
A beautifully haunting Liquid DnB piece from SeriousDamir that seems to explore certain mysteries, or a part of Twilight’s psyche… There’s just so much intriguing vibes and depth in the music, with many different instruments used, including a guitar!
Koron Korak – A Storm of Emotions | Drum & Bass
New cuddly release from Koron, always with the cutest genres, this time “Fluffy Drum & Bass”! It really could be the inception of a new genre, with the distinct cute and mellow melodies in the song portraying the emotions of Friendship beautifully, and that time when you reflect on your bonds while looking at the stars…
Aoshi – FluttERR (feat. Fluttershy) (PSFMer Remix) | Jersey Club
Disclaimer: This is about the remix from the original song, not the original song, and while at times it may seem like I’m talking down on one song, I intend to compare and contrast the two.
So my take on this remixed version of fluttERR from the original, well going back and listening to both for the first time, and by a side by side character I prefer the remix. Both are talented able and potential musicians, but something stood out to me more than the tune, cords, bass or vocals was the rhythm and theme of the music. The remix sticks with the same theme all the way through with a little surprises here and there. while the original seems to jump from theme to theme, its dubstep one second, hiphop, then electro the next and its rather distracting, but still a good song and im sure it was amazing in its prime. The remix is a fun remix you almost want to dance to, as stated in the comments you could get a wrong idea with some of the lyrics it depends on the person, it sticks with a select set of vocals to accommodate the beat and rhythm of the song. With how the song is set up you can tell its a remix, but in my opinion a rather good one, it has a great drop. the little addition of a new piece every few seconds such as a squeek, grunt (or moan whichever you prefer) the bass, is a rather fun addition, while this song is only 2 min 11 seconds its a great listen to and I recommend it! only thing i wish is that it was longer, great job PSFMer, with both the cover piece and the song, i cant wait to see more of your work in the future!
Vylet Pony – Scapeghosts (feat. PrinceWhateverer & Foozogz) | Synthrock
Strap in fellas today we’ve got ourselves a longer track by the wonderful Vylet Pony. The song starts out with a dreamy beat that really gives it a mysterious yet calming feel, and then the lyrics set in and really steal the show. Later the singing stops and we once more hear the amazing beat this time accompanied by some great guitar tunes until the lyrics set in once more and tell us some more about the scapeghosts but quickly the lyrics are once more replaced by a slightly different sounding beat that shows you even if this is a seven minute track it will not get boring whatsoever, after that the lyrics start once more and to end of the beat takes over once more accompanied by some more stellar guitar tunes. Overall this song might be the longest one I’ve ever done an article on but oh sweet Celestia it doesn’t get boring, in fact the switch between lyrics and just beat make this song feel even more lively than it already is.
