Inspired by the works of renowned score composer John Williams, The L-Train comes up with his own epic Soundtrack piece made in commission for the fanfic Daring Did: Tales of an Adventurer’s Companion. Definitely succeeding to reproduce the same OST style in a very lovely way, this original Orchestral and OST piece feels like a call for adventure and uncovering many mysteries along the way.

Frozen Night – Fragile Existence | Orchestral Metal
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 28 October 2016.
Frozen Night is back again with another remake of one of their older pieces, Fragile Existence. With a beautiful little piano and strings build up, epic drums start to hit 2 minutes in, instantly raising the impetus of the track. The rest of the instrumental also becomes a lot more epic, and the introduction of guitar helps to really complete the piece. If you want some epic orchestral metal, make sure to check this out!
Vylet Pony – Drama Queen (ft. Kyunn) | Trip Hop
Another little gem from the Love Letters EP released a few weeks ago, marking the penultimate track on the album. Beautifully jazzy piano is joined by low-key hip-hop beats and eventually by vocals from both Vylet and Kyunn with a remorseful theme.
4EverfreeBrony, TrojanPony & Metajoker – Carry On | Acoustic Pop
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 22 October 2016.
4EverfreeBrony has brought on the feels in collaboration with lyricism from TrojanPony, and some beautiful piano work from Metajoker with this new wonderful piece of music. The instrumental is quite minimal, yet doesn’t feel empty at all, especially when that really nice flute sound comes in. The vocals and piano are the heroes of the track though, and both are performed perfectly. If you’re up for a moving track about Twilight losing her treehouse, make sure to check it out!
[P@D] Frozen Night – Through An Infinite Dreamscape | Orchestral
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 17 October 2016.
With such a bold track title, one would expect something pretty epic in scope, and here Frozen Night delivers upon that promise with a beautifully building orchestral track that first envelops the listener, before bringing in the strings, drums and other elements to really paint an engrossing picture. The way this piece builds and flows is really well done in my opinion, and it’s definitely worth a listen if you like epic-style orchestral works!
CainbowRrash – Ping Timeout…Message Not Delivered | Orchestral
Ah, Fallout: Equestria, the source of many fan works past and many yet to come. I’ll avoid spoiling the inspiration behind this song, but it seems the moment from the story was particularly poignant for CainbowRrash, a new musician in the fandom. Get your fix of Fo:E inspired music for the day with this orchestral piece.
The Shake Ups In Ponyville – Counting Magic Sheep | Acoustic
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 21 October 2016.
A pretty laid back, almost lullaby-like track, The Shake Ups in Ponyville has released another song from their album Rock Candy. With some wonderful soft and relaxing vocals, as well as some pretty nice acoustic guitar sounds, this is definitely a great track to help soothe yourself down for a bit of a nap. If that sounds like something you’d like to do, make sure to give it a listen!
[P@D] BlueBrony – Underwater Horses | “Acid Trip Vintage Pop”
There are horses. They are underwater. I don’t think this needs further explanation.
