John Doe’s streak of blissful OST-like tracks continues, and his Ponies at Dawn Enigma contribution wonderfully depicts that place at Mount Aris in the movie and its Magic Water. Such an ethereal and fantasy-like concept is painted beautifully here, and emotional violin just like heavenly piano are doing wonders to create this powerful experience. It would fit so well as a BGM during a certain important scene in a RPG where the characters learn about a tragic situation and new ordeals to overcome, or as a field theme when exploring that mysterious cave filled with entrancing wonders!
Orchestral
GhostXb – She Lingers | Orchestral
The first installment of a new series of horror-themed tracks leading to Nightmare Night, She Lingers depicts the mood and atmosphere from the artwork and story in the description so well. GhostXb’s musical depictions of scenes or concepts are always so amazing, and it certainly is a treat to get such fittingly themed pieces this month!
[P@D] Frozen Night – Unity | Orchestral
Enigma has been giving us some really amazing bangers! In the side of orchestral music, for example, we got a lot of contributions! Frozen Night’s Unity is one of them! A complex and epic song with amazing instrumentalization and sound design process! The composition behind this song is really amazing, probably one of the best orchestral tracks coming from all P@D catalog!

Miles Kintner – Missing You | Piano Solo
This show can make us relate to many things, and Miles Kintner’s heartfelt tribute to Applejack’s missing parents is just as emotional as it gets. A magnificent composition of powerful piano melodies is comforting the heart, as both fond memories and a strong resolve get reflected through the music.
Mane In Green – Miss Shy and Miss Rarity’s Secret Dates | Orchestral
One could have seen it coming, but I actually didn’t! Mane In Green delights us with yet another pony-themed beauty, this time portraying the cute ship of Fluttershy and Rarity and the cuddly things they do during their Secret Dates… Going side by side with the fluffy artwork drawn by Mane himself, this playful piece delivers frilly melodies while reflecting both ponies’ personalities, and even subtly covers the MLP Theme Song at some point. More cute things in the clouds with ponies!
[P@D] Jyc Row & UndreamedPanic – EQUALIZER (feat. Agatan, Metajoker & MC-Arch) | Orchestral / Dubstep
Ponies at Dawn season is upon us, and that means some huge collabs, like this one here! Featuring Jyc Row’s signature epic orchestrations, this track goes through many movements, beginning with a lovely verse from Agatan. UndreamedPanic then brings some of the most creative and heaviest bass design I’ve ever heard from the fandom. Following that up is another heavenly verse from fandom veteran Metajoker and an ungodly fiery verse from MC-Arch. Though it is undoubtedly chaotic, it never feels forced or unfocused. An emotional rollercoaster, as are several songs on Enigma, the inventiveness on this song is not to be discounted!
Koron Korak – Night Shield (feat. Thöbe) | Hybrid Orchestral
A stunning multi-genre beauty with a pony concept, Night Shield tells an epic tale about Luna and her loyal night guards fighting a mysterious enemy. Epic choruses, apocalyptic bells, emotional violin, battle-reflecting rock drums, intricate synth melodies, and even amazing vocals and VA work from Thöbe are all doing absolute wonders to tell the story through blissful musical ways. A progressive masterpiece of much emotion, that further showcases the extent of Koron Korak’s talent and vision!
Mane In Green – Haiku (feat. Wubcake) | Orchestral
A real delight from the heavens, Mane In Green’s newest piece feels like a gentle night breeze of the autumn wind at a Kyoto temple in Japan. It portrays Rarity reflecting while gazing at the harvest moon there and making haiku, voiced by the one and only Wubcake. Mane’s humming blends with Rarity’s in the second part to sublimate the atmosphere, and along the haiku and progressive instrumental of many wonders, it’s a real bliss to immerse ourselves in the scene thanks to the music. A scene that is pictured so well by the amazing artwork drawn by Mane himself! Check out his DeviantArt. A wonderful tribute to Rarity overall indeed!
Rarity Advocate – Looking Back | Orchestral
Man man man, this Composition really hits the right strings. Both in the Melody, and in the Feels. Seeing Princess Luna sleep to this Song Lets me know that she is having a Beautifull dream because of this. I hope that many others will discover this track and witness its Grand emotional impact. Because legit, this is Wonderfull. Very well orchestrated Rarity, you’ve done a great job!
Everybody, show some love ❤
[P@D] Radiarc – Aleph Null | Hybrid Orchestral
Radiarc performed marvelously with this very Mysterious and Tensionfull track. Legit, I adore this. The P@D squad made a very wise choice including this in the new Enigma Album. You can really sense the Purity and the Power coming out of the Melodies, the Symphonies, and their Composition as a Whole. Legit, I adore this Track. And Twilight Sparkles ultimate power, passion, conviction, and conflict is most definitly felt throughout it. Well done Radiarc, well done. ❤
Show some love everybody. ❤ The new P@D album btw can be found here;
