Alright, I know I have not really said much about P@D: Eclipse this time around as I still need to get around to listening to the whole thing. A track like this, however, reminds me to do that. At track 41 we have a hard dubstep song about someone calling Pinkie Pie a one trick pony (bad idea!). The Duo of Lia;quo and Quadrivia have put something together that really goes into how you DO NOT want to hurt the feeling of Pinkamena Diane Pie. The way that this song is composed with its loud drops, frantic hard bass, and deep harmonics really dives into the mind of our insane pink pony. The racing pace and the climb to those drops really tells the emotional tale with a temperament to match Pinkie’s mood. Really nicely put together and one of last harrah’s of Quadrivia’s in this fandom. As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Original
char – Trixien’t | Alternate Electronic
In a very nostalgic way, char managed to bring forth emotions of the past with this blissful treat from the latest completed DustCar race, filled with Trixie’s greatness and powerfulness! The wonderful use of vocal samples and chops is doing a splendid job at taking us back through time, at the same time as the creative instrumental blows us away with its progression and SGaP-ness. And it has visuals made with love to go alongside it too! Trixiiiiiie!! Pony fan works will never stop!
Noc – Main Theme (Sunken Horizons OST) | Soundtrack
‘Empty Horizons’ is a breakneck adventure, its sequel, ‘Sunken Horizons’.
If you are a fan of Goldenwing’s work and have been itching for the next in this series, you are in luck–you can listen to it here! BUT! You can also enjoy this beautiful track by Noc with some outstanding composition featuring epic Spanish style guitar work and breathtaking use of bass and strings in this opening theme of this pony fanfiction series’ next installment! The cello solo really is a real standout in this track, and the music is put together so well that it makes me want to read both stories! As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself!
[ETC] Acid Applejack – Frequency of Nightmare Night | Hardcore
Oh man, “ETC: Luna’s Nightmare Society” has had some knockout tracks so far in my coverage of it! Here we get some hyper and dreamy hardcore. It’s as if Princess Luna decided to go into the world of dreams and put on a show for all of her ponies on this Nightmare Night. Have Luna regale her subjects not only with thunderous hardcore bounce but also the beauty of the night with some pretty and haunting harmonics, and you’ve got yourself a symphony of night thanks to this incredible arrangement by Acid Applejack! As always, this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself!
[ETC] Twisted Tail Kings x Nyancat380 – The Weapon | Kadacore
What a trio of musicians to tell the story of the day that Pinkie Pie gave into her insanity, Nightmare Night came with a blood red moon, and a curse fell over the ponies of Ponyville. Pinkie’s deep insanity is really brought out by the flow of this track. The dark sweetness of the start paints the picture of Pinkie in her home mentally breaking down until she slowly dives into the dark parts of her mind. After the first drop the horror begins as Pinkie reaches for her bloody toys and goes to see if the citizens of ponyville want to play twisted party games with her chainsaw or a game of pony roulette with her shotgun! This song just fits into the dark headcanon that deep inside Pinke is a twisted psycho. The back and forth of this track really fits into the theme of horror for ETC: Luna’s Nightmare Society! As always this Qilin asks you to judge for yourself.
Ponytronic – Hallow’s Nightmare Night | Electro
Today we’ve got some spooky nightmare night Electro from the amazing Ponytronic. The track starts out with a dark and spooky beat making it clear from the beginning that this is a Nightmare Night song. After that another spooky synth joins in pushing the whole spooky vibe up a few notches. After a while the beat changes slightly making the whole track livelier. Later a drum loop gets added that ratchets up the song’s intensity. Near the end the drum loop drops out and is replaced by an entirely new beat, giving this song a lovely progression which continues as the second beat falls away again and in the end leaves only the main beat and a little surprise…

[P@D] Faulty – Immortal No More (feat. 4EverfreeBrony) | Progressive House
So everypony today we’re back with Faulty and 4EverfreeBrony and another amazing track from “Eclipse“. This one is all about Twilight and the life that has been taken from her as she became an immortal alicorn. The track starts out with a progressive House beat by Faulty giving it a nice intro instead of immediately throwing lyrics at us. But when 4EB’s amazing voice joins in, you’re immediately grasped by the lyrics, which talk all about Twilight wanting to be part of mainstream life again and not just sitting on a throne in Canterlot trying to be as good a leader as she can. For the end we again get to hear only the beat.
As always huge thanks to thecanderson, for proofreading!
StealingShad3z – Cross State Letters | Acoustic Pop
So everypony today we’ve got a song that had me honestly up for days trying to think of a way to write about it. In conclusion: I can’t really do this song justice, so you should definitely listen to it yourself. The song is a love letter to Shad3z’ girlfriend, and the combination of acoustic pop and the sweet and lovely lyrics make for a romantic combination that has yet to be topped. Shad3z acknowledges how difficult life can be when it seems like the world is burning and society is collapsing, but having a special somepony can help you keep perspective and realize that it is all temporary. Over all those clouds is a rainbow, and together you’ll make it through.

CAPT – Detective Rarity??? | Electronica
CAPT started a new series going in the direction of spontaneous tributes to specific things from episodes and experimenting musically too! This first track about the very appreciated return of Detective Rarity in that one Pony Life episode is certainly having the series off to a great start, with Rarity’s antics accompanied by some tasty sounds and Electronic experimentation!
Sound Bandit & Friends (My Band) – The Song | Indie Pop / Alternate Electronic
A collab of no less than 34 musicians, this band’s new song was organized by Sound Bandit for the latest DustCar race calling for collabs, and boy did it deliver! The emotional vibes from both the instrumental and the vocals are palpable, and everypony felt that during the stream party of the race.
