Y’know, I wouldn’t have expected this of all songs from the most recent Ponies At Dawn album (at time of writing) to be remixed, but Metapony did an excellent job on this. It starts off with a similar chilled vibe as the original had, but abruptly turns into bright supersaws and bass growls, progressing later into a slightly faster tempo and a more house-style beat with electro influences. It’s difficult to put a label on this, but that’s okay, it adds a bit more creativity to it!
Electro
Ponytronic – Crescent Lament (Vylet Remix) | Jungle Terror
Just wow, Vylet’s done some pretty crazy stuff recently sound design-wise and this is absolutely one of the most out there ones. Here he’s released a remix for Ponytronic’s upcoming album, and he’s taken the jungle terror route – though, this being Vylet, it definitely doesn’t constrain itself to the one genre.
Filly in the Box – Stop poni | Electro House
Unique as ever, Filly in the Box pulls out a smooth electro banger supplemented by some really well done vocal sampling from Stop the Bats and Becoming Popular.
Quadrivia – Royal Punishment | Complextro
Is it after dark yet? Well, in our server’s timezone it is, so I can post this song! Alright everypony, for those of you not familiar with Quadrivia’s outstanding talents at Complextro and other hard-hitting genres yet, we’ve got you served with this track from the recently released 0% No Innuendo Intended album (that I recommend). Breaking the limits with wubs that defy gravity and tasty voice acting by IMShadow007 and MEMJ0123 (who you might have already heard of in past community works), Royal Punishment will delight your ears, as well as your eyes with the cover art from the ever-so-talented Gashi-gashi (who you might remember from some of Ken Ashcorp’s songs), delightfully giving prominence to the almighty absolute territory/zettai ryouiki of Twilight here.
[SNMS] R3CTIFIER -Venality | Electro
The first of our featured tracks from the Shika No Mori Sound collective’s album, Beauty In The Trees! R3CTIFIER’s been busy with this one, giving it a dark electro sound with well crafted and mixed bass sounds that flow seamlessly into one another.
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!
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!
Lunar Dance – Fire | Electro
New electro (or complextro or whatever you wanna call it) from Lunar Dance, complete with a half time dubstep section.
Vylet Pony – Kingdom Finality | Electro
Another select piece from the music journey that is Super Pony World, this song shares sonic influence from both electro and indie dance / synthpop type tracks. If you haven’t already checked out Super Pony World, the amount of work put into it shows through the entire thing!
Daniel Ingram – The Spectacle (Knife Pony Remix) | Electro House
Knife Pony appear to be moving on from their horse alias to something else, but they’re ending it with their aptly named ‘Finale’ album. This track is a banger of a remix of that dance tune ‘The Spectacle’ – it’s had quite a few remixes by now and this definitely stands amongst them as one of the clubbier ones.
