I’m not quite sure if that’s a typo or what, but hey, the song’s pretty cool! It’s a nice chill piece with plenty of melodies bouncing back and forth, and some breakbeat-esque drums to hold a good rhythm alongside them.

Shika No Mori Sound – Beauty In The Trees | Album | Multi-Genre
It’s time for a new collaborative album from the community, everypony!! And this one certainly delights and holds many surprises! Living up to its lovely title, the album from collaborative effort Shika No Mori Sound (“Forest of Deer”) delivers tracks of pure beauty and power, featuring musicians from all around the community, including familiar names but also some you might not have heard of. What they all have in common is that they did amazing to bring this concept justice and produce a mighty album as beautiful as a forest!
Starting off with the very headbangable Venality from R3ctifier centered around the events of Friendship Games, the first half of the album hits as hard and powerfully as witnessing the many wonders of Nature would feel, with very enthralling tracks such as Aven‘s Purpose (#4), the dark and heavy Worlds from Flak (#14), the insane Dustep madness of IKX in Two Faced (#12), even bringing all the Hardcore with track #7. And this goes not without mentioning the cute yet powerful mellow interlude of Kawaii Dash‘s Bubble Tea (#6) that surprises with a mighty sound design and Future mood!
The second half of the album further embodies the gentle, invigorating and emotional beauty that Nature can grant to those who open their soul to it, with chill-ish songs that matches the concept in the most wonderful ways. Starting with Fallen Empire from emotional Chillout master Totalspark (#15), we then get entranced by the mighty groove and originality from Waifu Avenue‘s 16 Under 20 (#17), dive into the amazing depths of Ax:l‘s Bröadcast (#18), wander through DisCHORD‘s Wilderness with both awe and energy (#19), inger in bliss as the Drum & Bass of Progressive Element‘s Crystal Fragments stimulate our ears and soul (#20), get hit so hard with the amazing soundscapes of Chillout masterpiece Dreamscapes from Totalspark (#21, his second contribution to the album and my personal favorite from the album), to end with the much welcome piece from Vinyl Darkscratch Snipershy’s Ballad (#22) and Shü77erfly‘s melodic Atmosphere that warms the heart and soul (#23).
You can get Beauty In The Trees on its Bandcamp page. And don’t forget to give mad props to all those amazing artists!! You can get their info in the “read more” section of the Soundcloud page.
To all the album’s artists reading this : You guys are amazing, thank you for blessing us with your music and for this masterpiece of an album!! Much love!
5OUND (ANU) – Frozen Dreams | Chillstep
Be ready for a blissful experience of utter beauty as 5OUND’s latest track unfolds. Despite the presence of Fluttershy’s cutie mark in the visuals, you might still get a lovely surprise at some point during the track, as Fluttersamples are used in such a wonderful way, along a 9-minutes instrumental of much originality. Give a well-deserved sub to 5OUND who will soon change their name to ANU, I’m going through the whole channel right now and the music all around is quite enthralling and well composed!
Nicolas Dominique – Secluded Glen | Chillout
Acting like the perfect musical embodiment of Secluded Glen from Shamanguli, this new Chillout piece from Nicolas Dominique calls for Exploration and gazing at the many wonders around us as we’ve made our way to a rare landscape that only the most audacious ponies will uncover. We’ve certainly seen how Rarity’s special gift could lead her to life-changing discoveries in The Cutie Mark Chronicles for instance, so it is no surprise to have her as the protagonist of that sensory adventure now brought to you with the power of music. Take a step in, explore, and reflect as the sounds guide you to undiscovered places!
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!
Little Jester – Walk | Chill
Following on with the relaxing vibes, Little Jester brings us a playful little chill track about Twilight that walks along beautifully, pulling us in its wake. Just the thing to follow along with during an afternoon break, or something similar.
Vylet Pony – 朝の茶 Morning Tea | Future/Chill
Following on from Super Pony World (which we will have some sort of review post up for eventually, we had planned a comprehensive guest review, but that appears to have fallen through somewhat), Vylet continues to bring some beautiful chill vibes, with this delightfully peaceful track punctuated by some of the breath-taking future chords we’ve come to know from him recently.
/MLP/ Plays – >No Fun Allowed | Album | Multi-Genre
Brace yourselves everypony, because you’re about to get surprised in the most amazing ways, as we present to you the result of two years of collaborative effort from musicians of the 4chan /mlp/ board, a massive 51-tracks album of stunning quality. Featuring a wide variety of genres (even including some very unusual ones), perhaps even more variety than in the P@D or LDB albums, this heartfelt compilation of sophisticated tunes will surprise and delight as you experience its many wonders, such as the very mellow and enthralling RarityRF (#7), the emotional and surprising you-would-never-guess pony vocals from Flut (#8), the incredible vocal chops from Protocat’s remix of I’ll Fly (#11), the masterful collaboration work in To Anon Too Late (#15), one of the best and most epic remixes of Luna’s Future (#21), Feral FurE’s wonderful remix of Better Than Ever (#26), some more feels from the Out On My Own remix (#29), the original Derpy-centered Surf Rock track Surfin’ Derp (#30), the blissful piano melodies from Tree of Harmony (#32), the heartfelt realtalk combined with quality instrumental in Waifu Blues (#33), the mighty rock spirit from Eclipses (#48), or the massive party track The Club Pony Party Palace (#50) that I will feature as a solo post next. I guess the expression “Do not judge a book by its cover” works here, and you won’t be disappointed if you decide to go give the full album a proper listen (and if you would consider donating, note that all proceeds will go to charity). This music lover, for one, is blown away.
[LDB] ExplodingPonyToast – Adrift | Chillout
Another great LDB album song, this time from ExplodingPonyToast, giving us something considerably more chilled and downtempo than his usual upbeat electronica. This track contains some lovely slow arps and glistening lead sounds, all topped off with Fluttershy vocal chops from So Many Wonders.
[KM] Totalspark – Resurgence | Future
New Cider Party Feature! This time it’s something from the recent King Mars Tribute Album by Totalspark. A sort of hybrid between future and chillout, also with Sparky’s own vocals filling out the track, this is some of his best work to date, and a great way to mark his Cider Party debut too!
