Indie Notes – Mailmare in the Distance | Alternative Acoustic Rock

Indie Notes comes back with an amazing and chill remastered version of an old acoustic track that Indie did about my favorite mailmare! Derpy!

The vocals are really good and amazing, I really love Indie vocals, it reminds me of acts like Neutral Milk Hotel or even Pavement! The acoustic guitar riffs are also amazing! And the solo at the end of the song is also amazing! An acoustic and amazing piece! The lyrics are also really written, I really love the poetry and imagination of Indie for writing such amazing lyrics! A really nice and chill track for the end of the day!

Zephysonas – Not even the rain | Orchestral

I wish I knew how to label this more specifically than just “orchestral” because this piece is very different to a lot of the big, epic orchestral pieces I often see. It’s short, but super sweet and cute keyboard/piano-driven piece, and it’s one of those songs created in a sudden burst of inspiration – something which often leads to a surprisingly amazing finished product.

PrinceWhateverer – Constellations (Redux feat. Cadie) | Melodic Metalcore / Trancecore

PrinceWhateverer returns with a redux of one of his best songs – Constellations! The King of Brony Melodic Metalcore invited one of my favorite female singers of the moment Cadie for making the beautiful vocals in the breakdown! And her vocals are really sweet and chilling!

Talking about vocals, Prince’s vocals are also pretty good! I really loved his vocal songs, it reminds me of that Melodic Metalcore acts that only have clean vocals aka Scene Punk. The instrumental is the same as the previous song but has a better mastering and mixing! And one thing I love in the instrumental along with the trancecore classical electronic elements, the guitar riffs are really well done. The breakdown is one of the highest points in the instrumental, not just because of the progression to the synths, but because of the drumming! Also the robotic vocals used in some parts are also really awesome, Prince really wanted to do a Trancecore tune! This one rocks! \m/

This absolutely superb composition by Zizkil is about best pony. Elegant, energetic, and top quality, with hidden depth, it’s just like Starlight herself. It builds from simple pads and chords to complex wubs and zrees, in a delectable menagerie of sound.

Jyc Row – Nightmare Moon, the Lunar Queen | Orchestral

Jyc Row has composed a beautiful piece about Nightmare Moon. Epic, foreboding, and powerful, it encapsulates her personality perfectly. It is at once dark, strong, and unstoppable. What a song to listen to as Luna’s moon eclipses Celstia’s sun!

Daniel Ingram – Flawless (Aurelleah Remix) | Orchestral Electronic

This new song inspired a lot of artists for make really awesome remixes/remakes/covers! And this time the artist is Aurelleah! Aurelleah that is known for his orchestral and epic tracks and sometimes some really banging electronic ones! And this time, for remix Flawless – that is, for me, one of the best MLP songs ever – Aurelleah decided to mix the orchestral elements with the electronic elements for creating a hybrid formula that works on perfection! The breakdown with the filter on Pinkie Pie’s verse and the amazing piano notes is one of my best parts along with lead after that breakdown, it was really uplifting and emotional! I wish that Aurelleah can keep this formula for his next tracks!

Totalspark – Aurora Borealis (Ataraxia Reimagination) | Chillwave

Another sweet piece in this fandom is Ataraxia’s take on Totalspark’s song “Aurora Borealis”. The song makes for a good background track for a movie or a really awesome music video. Piano, pads and vocals totally get you the vibes of drifting away into the sky while you’re in dreamland. This isn’t one to skip out on because you’re definitely up for a nice dream trip with this one.
