Misc
John Doe – Falling | Soundtrack
Another OST track composed by John Doe for the fan game Pony Town, Falling feels like the kind of field BGM you’d hear on a leisurely walk in some forest area near a stream of pure water, gathering items/ingredients and marveling at the many autumnal charms of the Nature around you. The clopping sounds at the end are the icing on the cake, and delightfully remind of the context of the track!
Ponylution – Melancholy | Lo-fi Hip-Hop
A short yet inspired piece, Melancholy has that Chillout vibe that really fits well to the scene of the cover art. It also displays beautiful melodies on piano that would make the track a BGM of choice for a bar or a café!
[P@D] Replacer – Paper Lady | Indie Pop / Hip-Hop
One of my top favorites from P@D Anthology, this new very unique track from Replacer has got quite an intricate and elaborate story set in the past Equestria, and it’s told through poetic lyrics and blissful vocals through an instrumental of many wonders. Acoustic guitar, synths that will remind you of some Classic Rock and Prog Rock goldies from the 70s, and even an Ambient part, this masterpiece of a track is quite the unique gem. Replacer even drew the cover art himself, representing the character from the story!
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.
Crusader! – Pear Green Eyes | Acoustic
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 September 2017.
The rock musicians of the fandom have been having a great time getting inspiration from Pear Butter, and that continues with Crusader! releasing a gorgeous soft acoustic piece that puts another spin on the well-trodden love story. His vocals are lovely, and the guitar works nicely in combination.
Ponytronic – Times Like These (The Remixes) EP | Electronic
If I remember correctly, Ponytronic gained an affinity earlier this year for a certain couple of music ponies after reading a well-known fanfiction about them. Shortly afterwards, his song Times Like These was released – a smooth liquid dnb piece about the duo, perhaps one of his best songs to date. Now after a couple of months of an open contest, he’s proud to present the Times Like These Remixes EP!
Featuring a variety of genres, from more dnb reworks to a hip-hop remix and even a couple of really left-of-field genres, this EP has both some regular names to the brony music community and some people just breaking out into the scene. It’s also seemingly a chance for some artist to break out into new genres – I’ve never heard Metapony do Drum & Bass or UndreamedPanic do hip-hop before! Definitely give this EP a listen, you might just find a new artist or style that you’d be interested in.
Times Like These (The Remixes) EP is available to download for free on Ponytronic’s bandcamp.
PS: The music box rendition at the end is a super cute addition to the album :3
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!
Soren Ember – Through Your Heart | Acoustic
What’s it like to love the immortal? Well, Soren Ember tells us what it’s like in his new song. Although we may pass, our love lives on. I love the cajon in this song, it’s not an instrument you hear often in horse music, so it’s refreshing to have in this song. The guitar playing is very calming, and Soren’s voice just makes me want to sing along. Well done Soren, this is a beautiful song.
Elias Frost – Rockhoof Tale | Celtic Folk / Orchestral
Inspired by the first tale from Campfire Tales, Elias Frost brings an awesome track with Celtic/Nordic influences. Rockhoof was one of my fav stories and I see this song as a soundtrack for the tale of Rockhoof. Pony Vikings and Celtic Orchestral are awesome together! Some elements from the song also amazed me, such the vocals and the acoustic guitar riffs. The drums’ celtic-nordic feeling was also fantastic! Elias Frost, you do awesome job in your compositions and tracks, keep up the good work!
