The original Break The Silence was a great melodic electro track, but R3CTIFIER’s now re-done it with a much heavier coat of paint. The gorgeous Fluttershy vocal chops build up to the drop, which is focused around some aggressive dubstep sound design, whilst the break has some nice use of piano and lower pitched vocals.
“And the spirit of Music, will be Reborn.” Perfect way to reflect on this Track.
P@D Rebirth is right around the Corner and this track to me sounds like a very nice and cool way to enter that. Nice wubs, awesome party flock with a taste of bouncing around on a dope Bass House beat. Great and awesome work VooDoo! Also congrats on getting on P@D together with N.Hollow and J.Free, can’t wait to hear what it’ll sound like. (certianly amazing that’s for sure) 🙂 everybody you know what to do. ❤
After two big years of development and collaboration, Exiark gifts us all with an incredible electronic album! Utilizing the talents of many exceptional fandom musicians like Chi-Chi, FritzyBeat, Freest, NekoWolf, Flittzy, Namii, Megaphoric, and Lia Quo, Otherworldly Journey is comprised of a whopping 19 tracks exploring Princess Luna’s journey throughout her exile on the moon.
The tracks range in genre and encompass a great variety of electronic music while still appealing to most everyone. No matter what type of music you prefer, there’s something special on this album for you!
Aside from the obvious vocal talent featured on Otherworldly Journey, Exiark’s use of expertly crafted synths and beat tracking is on full display, and will transport you to another world! There is an excellent sense of a lunar atmosphere in the instrumentation which ranges from symphonic to synth-heavy, and the subtle space vibes will make you feel as though you are dancing with the Princess of the night herself. There is no excuse not to check out this outstanding album!
Author’s note: While I don’t like to compare fandom music to time periods for several reasons, if you had told me that several of the tracks on this album were big hits from the early days of the fandom, I would absolutely believe you. Exiark really makes the music his own style, discernible from other early fandom musicians but there’s something about the quality and energy that takes me back in time with a giant smile on my face.
Vylet and Shift Audio team up for this Scootaloo-themed song! It’s an interesting twist on glitch hop with a healthy dose of dubstep too, sprinkled with Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash vocals. Vylet says that the song was themed around adult Scootaloo, and it’s very easy to hear the inspiration!
Passive Kindness sounds like the musical embodiment of Fluttershy’s “You’re going to love me” side from the S1 finale, with the heavy drops representing her unleashing her anger, and the Trap beat acting as a great accompaniment to her badapple look at that moment. There can definitely be many sides to a pony and even to kindness, as this song illustrates!
Syzy is expanding on the Fluttery vibes from R3CTIFIER‘s original Break the Silence with a dreamy yet heavy remix, bringing mad Dubstep slashing wubs and clean beats! With breaks soothing the soul, and the Flutterchops still present to add some airy fragrance, the tune has all it takes to be an awesome remix full of identity!
Dj Shadow Music has consistently put out high-quality music. Sadly, he seems to be retiring. This, You’re a Princess, may be his penultimate track. But what a track it is! The sound quality and melodies are blissful and relaxing in the best way. This is a truly great piece of instrumentation!
One Track Mind has definitely some of the most creative musical visions out there, and now to our great delight an impressive Electronicore track has been crafted with much inventivity! Bringing much Metal vibes with harsh and tasty riffs, while still having lots of Electronic elements in its arrangement, it delivers Flutterbat’s take on the Hush Now Lullaby song… with heavy headbangable greatness!
VooDoo blows us all away, all up until first place of R3CTIFIER‘s remix competition, with a very inventive remix! Going all-out with a stunning progression, wicked wubs of sick sound design, and even a tasty electric guitar, VooDoo aces the contest and delivers an incredible masterpiece of a remix to savor again and again.
After Cynifree’s Chill House remix, now it’s time for a hard-hitting banger of a remix from maestro StrachAttack! Pumping out sick sound design as well as dank samples, the remix brings quality drops while presenting the vocal chops and the Flutter-y mood from R3ctifier‘s original in a brand new way.
