It’s been a while since Fooz’s last original track…okay, last serious original track, but this is one that attendees of Pacific Ponycon might recognise. He premiered the track there and it’s now available for everyone to hear, and to experience the infinite hair attack.
Misc
Homage McGee – Alone | Electro-Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 11 January 2017.
Hot off the heels of his last groovy release, Disco Girl, Homage returns with an awesome follow up in the form of Alone. This track instantly hits with a funky groove to it, and some cleverly programmed vocal chops. That continues throughout the track, which whilst carried by the generally ever-present vocals, also has great old-school feeling synth usage.
Note: Since the original video got deleted, you may find the MP3 file of the song here.
A Symphony Of Two – For The Greater Good | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 10 January 2017.
A new orchestral release from A Symphony Of Two, For The Greater Good paints a picture of the sorrow that must have been felt by both sisters after Celestia’s imprisonment of Luna on the moon. With a solemn mood, and beautifully emotional climaxing of the piece towards the end, I’m very impressed by the flow of this one.
Almost Anyone & FritzyBeat – When the Winter Ends | Electro Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 9 January 2017.
It’s been a while since Fritzy’s teamed up with Almost Anyone for a pony track, and it’s certainly nice to have a new collab from them! Fritzy’s trademark vocal style works well with the heavy and happy electronic synth design of Almost Anyone, as they bring a track about Rainbow Dash and Tank.
Ataraxia – Austrila 2017 | Piano / Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 8 January 2017.
A re-imagining of the first track released under this alias, Austrila 2017 is another beautiful example of how well Ataraxia can implement piano into a track as the main component. Whilst it starts off as mostly just being a beautifully composed piano piece, it bursts to life halfway through with some other orchestral elements and pounding percussion. Make sure to check it out below for a pretty yet powerful track!
Rusty Thorsell – The Strangers With The Windy Flutes | …
This may or may not be your cup of tea, but we’ll post it anyway. Rusty’s been getting creative again – now making sounds out of…well, quite literally nothing. Take a look at the description if you want to learn a bit more about how he made this track, otherwise enjoy this metallic-sounding…thing. I have no idea what genre this is.
ForeverFreest – I Don’t Complain (covering Luna Jax) | Acoustic
Continuing the chill train from earlier, here’s a nice little acoustic cover of Luna Jax’s hit I Don’t Complain. Lovely soft piano and drums accompany an acoustic guitar and Freest’s great voice in this wonderfully stripped-back piece, a pleasure to listen to!
Sarah P. – The Magic Inside (covering Daniel Ingram) | Indie Pop
A rather different style of cover now – something which might be a bit hit or miss but still probably worth sharing. The latest release on A Little Bit for Charity’s YouTube channel, this cover of The Magic Inside has a rather unique vocal style, with very gentle accompanying instruments and almost a Christmas music vibe to it, since it’s filled with lots of percussive bells. Check it out if that sounds like your kind of thing.
Denz Xavier & Stormblaze – The Starlight Glimmer Experience | Parody
Red Dwarf fans, rejoice! Admittedly, I’ve never seen Red Dward so I didn’t get the joke, but still, it’s a deliberately fun little song that may or may not bring trigger memories of cheap amusement parks…
Wind Wolf – The Canyon | Orchestral
NB: This is an edited version of what was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 1 January 2017.
Now for a new track from Wind Wolf which has a strong western influence to it, brought out magnificently by the instrumental and tonal choices. This is another piece from the soundtrack to Adventure of The Lunarbolts. Make sure to check it out for your orchestral fix!
