It was bound to happen at some point. Overall it doesn’t spoil the movie that much, but better safe than sorry, eh? Check out the song after the break.
Cover
Mane In Green – Tea Party at Discord’s (Variations on William Anderson’s “Singing Tea Bags” theme) | Orchestral
Interpreting William Anderson‘s BGM from the episode, Mane In Green created a beautiful tribute to S07E12 Discordant Harmony. Covering that catchy melody sung by the “ginsing” tea bags, it adds so much with a masterful progression of different moods and Orchestral arrangements and accompaniments, to end with a mighty finale. A stunning and classy piece with a hint of madness, reflecting Fluttershy’s tea parties as well as what makes Discord be himself.
Strigidae – Silhouette (Covering 4EverfreeBrony feat. BlackGryph0n) | Pop / Electronic
Strigidae is back to grace us with his unique style of vocals, and he decided to cover the mighty song Silhouette by 4EverfreeBrony originally featuring the ever-amazing vocals of BlackGryph0n! Making this cover in a different genre and giving it a unique mood born from his mastery of the magic of music, Strigidae delivers once again with style and emotion, and gorgeous vocals complement a surprising instrumental with beautiful piano and electronic parts!
Ponies At Dawn – Anthology | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre
It’s been a big year for Ponies At Dawn; January saw an ambitious project of an album composed entire of collabs, covers and remixes; June marked the release of Guardians, the biggest main album to date; now they’re back with something special.
Anthology isn’t like any of the other albums. The first half of the album is a collection of brand new tracks from P@D favourites such as DJT, UndreamedPanic, Silver Note, Frozen Night, Exiark and many more! The second half brings some of the best songs from all the past albums released by the collective, as chosen by the staff who put the albums together.
But that’s not all. Something that’s been requested for a long time by fans of the P@D albums is a physical release. Well merch fanatics, your wish has been granted!
This limited edition 3CD release features half of the new tracks (they couldn’t fit it all in!) on one disc and all the of the “golden oldies” on the other two. If you’re as big a fan of Ponies At Dawn as I am, don’t pass up the chance to get your hands on one of these!
Anthology is available to download for free on the Ponies At Dawn bandcamp page, and the CDs are available to purchase for $20, and are due to be shipped in early November.
Sable Symphony – Flawless (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Metal
Flawless definitely has impacted many of us and we’re pleased to get Sable Symphony’s own cover of the meaningful song from S07E14 Fame and Misfortune. With his signature rocking vocals and skillful guitar play, Sable gives the original an awesome Metal arrangement that pays tribute to the song once more!
Matías Peñaloza – In Our Town (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Piano
Another well-done cover for piano has been played by Matías Peñaloza here, who has now given us the big song that Starlight Glimmer sang back when she was a villain. The technique is clean, which makes this cover entertaining to listen to. The accompaniment music really helps bring it all together, and it gives the cover, as a whole, a nice finish. That’s some good stuff there; quite enjoyable!
Rockin’Brony – Spectrum (Covering Re:Make) | Symphonic Metal
Part of an ongoing new series of covers of goldie-oldie pony songs from Re:Make (formerly AcousticBrony), this revival of Spectrum sure does justice to the original with an expert guitar play and Symphonic Metal arrangement. The melodies from the show songs “Winter Wrap Up” and “At The Gala” are as emotional as always, and give much S1 nostalgia!
Horse Music Hotspot – September 2017
We’re back again! This month’s episode features not only a very eclectic mix of new and older artists to the fandom, but an (in my opinion) exceptionally strong orchestral game. Settle in for an hour-long selection of some of our faves of September, including a couple from a certain upcoming Ponies At Dawn album!
To listen in live, tune in to Ponyville FM at 5PM Eastern on the last Sunday of each month!
Tracklist and embeds available after the break
Soul Strings ft. Chi-Chi – You’re In My Head Like a Catchy Song (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Soft Rock
Here’s another cover of Daniel Ingram’s “You’re in my Head like a Catchy Song!” This one throws a bit of a curveball with the interestingly sweet chord progression! The vocals are very well done; they’re clean, have good intonation, and they sound relaxed. The bass guitar complements the accompaniment of the acoustic guitar, to point out as well. Lastly, the post processing of this cover is quite satisfactory for the average listener to hear; it really enhances the instrumentation, especially with the reverb effect on the vocals!
Rockin’Brony – For the New Lunar Republic (Covering NotACleverPony) | Symphonic Metal
Rockin’Brony’s cover of this fandom classic is truly spectacular. The original was already a powerful, moving composition, but this cover applied a certain extra energy to it. Rockin’Brony, as his name implies, excels at this sort of music.
