Vylet Pony – Super Pony World | Guest Album Review | Electronic

Better late than never, eh? NB: A small part of this review was also written by Spectra.

Hey kiddos, it’s Reverie, and while I’m busy being sad and hating myself that I haven’t been working on the Top Ten listings that much due to school and graduation and all that, I’ve written a comprehensive review, going track by track through ALL of the new Vylet release, entitled Super Pony World. Since we don’t want to exclude some of the deluxe version material, this is going to cover all of the base tracks plus a couple of the original pieces from the deluxe version. So, let’s hop right into it after the break!

Filly in the Box -Don’t Go Alone | Dubstep

Attention: mild spoilers, nothing obvious though.

Back once again with impeccable sound design, Filly in the box has a new track inspired by the latest episode of MLP. The drum samples and programming (and even some of the melodies) reminds me a lot of the early mainstream dubstep that came about at the end of the 00s, whilst the bass sounds used sound very much modern – an interesting juxtaposition of sounds that works incredibly well!

Dr. Somepony – Equs Infernus | Metal

In perfect Dr. Somepony style of rocking the music scene with a sutble emotional side that makes the difference, here’s a new track that definitely hits home with a deep theme, dealing with the aftermath of Celestia’s hard feelings as she had to banish her sister to the moon, and the musical composition and performance to back it up, including awe-inspiring keyboard notes and hard-hitting melodic guitar riffs.

Hay Tea – In The Distance | Drum & Bass

Master of Drum & Bass Hay Tea presents a new release, featuring art from the ever-so-talented Shamanguli. This powerful and definitely much welcomed track displays all the charm of Drum & Bass for us to dive in a deep moment of appreciation and reflection, much to the spirit of the cover art.

Butterflight – Missing You | Chillout

Missing You from Butterflight is a culmination of much effort and feelings, and it can definitely be felt through this Chillout instrumental track of much beauty. A steady flow of blissful notes and melodies completes soothing background synths, for a flawless result. Be sure to give the lad a sub!

Drixale – Bien Fuerte | House

Pacific Glow from The Saddle Row Review continues to inspire in the most unique and delightful ways, and now it is Drixale’s time to bring fire to the dance floor from the DJ booth, with a new original track aptly named Bien Fuerte (“So Strong”, from what I could gather). A distinct musical mood can be felt with this song much to the style of Drixale, as we can fully immerse ourselves in the deep and dark vibes from the instrumental, straight from the back-alley underground, zip-zap party scene!

Elias Frost – Derby Racers (covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal

Based Elias Frost brings some Metal spirit into the derby derpy race with this cover of much force, providing the energy of a thousand cheers. I’m sure Cheerilee would approve! The distinct vocal style completes a mighty instrumental, presenting Derby Racers in a whole new light. Go, go, gooo~

Ponytronic – Blind Admiration (Metapony Remix) | House

If there’s one artist who I can always rely on for quality house tracks, it’s Metapony. Not only is Meta’s choice of sounds so melodic and atmospheric, but their mixing is so clean as well, which puts any song in my good books. Take a listen to this remix of Ponytronic’s Blind Admiration, which will also be available on Tronic’s upcoming remix / orchestral suite album.

FlyingMelodys – Family Forever More | Soft Rock

A pleasant instrumental piece from FlyingMelodys, this song is actually a rework of one of their older pieces. It combines soft rock, acoustic, and orchestral elements into one single track dedicated to the CMC.
