Music and the world around us. That really comes to mind for my self as I listen to this. P@D offers so much fandom music from across the world or world influences at that. GhostXb composes something very worldly in the atmosphere here. Some Jazz saxophone mixed with a mandolin. Smooth piano tones with some soft choir vocals. You feel like your an Equestria pony walking into a welcoming experience in a far off land. There is so much mixed together very well. Picture this, your one of the princesses visiting a new country. They sit you down and a bunch of dancers and musicians perform this for you to make you feel welcomed. I really enjoyed all of the epic ingredients that this tune is made of. [Art by Plainoasis]
Ataraxia – Starlight (Moving On) | Indie Pop
(You can hear Ataraxia’s Album “Lost and Found” Here )
When it comes to Starlight Glimmer. She is a character forever struggling with herself. Starlight (Moving On) paints that picture very well. My first time hearing Ataraxia filled my head with such an emotional scene. The melody has this feeling of sadness, anger, sorrow, challenges, happiness, fear and courage. The lyrics tell this story of Starlight looking at all of this at last. Dealing with it, she’s ready to just move on with her life for better or worse. Ataraxia has this amazing and soothing voice that makes this song come together. The piano solo at the end is a fitting end to it.
I love this song. I can see Starlight walking the path of her life, looking closely at where she has been, and what she has done up to this point. It is this feeling of hope – Starlight has found hope. You don’t even have to like Starlight to even enjoy this song, which you should definitely go listen right now!
Francis Vace – Molt | Ska
The fandom’s leading purveyor of pony ska is back with the kind of charm and humor that only Francis Vace could write. Molt is a silly telling of the process that gave Spike wings, told from his first-dragon perspective. This upbeat and catchy track features a back and forth of traditional organ and brass ska sections and the more pop punk themed choruses. Whether it’s the electric guitars, the bouncy organ, or Vace’s unmistakable vocals, this song will have you grooving along!
Osoch – Discord (Covering Eurobeat Brony [Tombstone Remix]) | Metal
Warning: Profanity, degeneration, and perhaps worst of all…memes.
Of all the things that exist in the fandom, this is one of them. Never one to shy away from the strange, Osoch memes on the old days and The Living Tombstone with this exceptional metal track. Using TLT’s remix as a base, the very talented guitarist layers an excellent metal instrumental over the classic hit. There’s a lot going on here and you just have to check it out for yourself to understand.
Heartsong – Celestia’s Ballad ~ Music Box Lullaby | Music Box
New lovely release from musician of heartfelt compositions Heartsong, and it’s a continuation of the previous music box cover of I’ll Fly! This time it’s the very moving Celestia’s Ballad, and the music box arrangement is just perfect for it, giving such renewed emotion, and nostalgic OST vibes in some way too! But the fact that I use to appreciate the musician’s Soundtrack pieces a lot may help with that, hehe!
Nyancat380 – Rappin’ | Moombahcore
Now this is a fun one! This is a remix of The Wonderbolts Rap that took me by surprise! A genre I haven’t heard much in recent years, its veeery refreshing to here some straight, and solid Moombahcore. Nyancat has done a very good job here capturing the groove of the original while adding some intense flare with some complex vocal splices and fun gritty basslines. This will be a treat for many and I’m looking forward to see what else they have in store!
Rusty – Always be there | Indie Pop
Rusty has always been a guilty pleasure of mine. They have such a notable vibe and style to all of their releases and ‘Always be there’ is definitely another example. A happy upbeat tune with a simpler yet lovely sound; This one is actually about solving problems. More specifically about unhappiness and hope. Rusty’s vocals are on point as always and there are always some fun little quips to look forward to with their storytelling.
Spiral Harmonies – Ponyville’s Incident | Soundtrack
If you’ve watched BrutalWeather’s recent pony animation Ponyville’s Incident, you may have noticed the awesome BGM if you have an ear for OST music! Well it was actually composed by another member of our community, Spiral Harmonies, and here’s the standalone upload of the BGM! You can feel the musician’s talent in the impressive composition, and it’s definitely a perfect match for the animation!
Reverbrony – Relentless | Metal
Sometimes you don’t need something grand to be badass. This is quite simply just some classic metal guitar work. This shows the point with Reverbrony just laying those sweet hard chords down. Music that makes you want to do something awesome. This is the kind of metal music I would throw a pair of headphones on and it relentlessly gets the job done. The kind of music that would play if the royal sisters were done playing games with their enemies.
Brickface Productions & IPON3 – Methane Mash | Chiptune
A lovely collab themed around Button Mash and having the most creative name, this new track from Brickface Productions and IPON3 is full of cute vibes and nostalgic sounds that will make for such a blissful moment! The vocal samples mixed in the track complete the instrumental so well and it’s all making me melt!
