Spontaneous fan works about specific characters or themes from the show are so awesome!! RedSpark wins our hearts once again with a composition dedicated to the passing of power from Celestia to Twilight, and for a track made in such a short amount of time it sure it sounding amazing!!
Original
Koron Korak – A Light Among Despair | Orchestral
Finding the light back at the end of the tunnel can be tough and can take a lot of time, but Koron seems to be off to a great new start after that difficult experience! Vent art is definitely good to help you cope with it too, and if it can be of any indication, the sheer magnificence of this track using violin and choirs is showing the might of creativity under such circumstances.
Japkozjad – Oh my… WAIT | Electronica
Simple yet effective, this laid-back Fluttercomposition is making use of vocal samples of the not-so-shy-anymore pegasus over some Reggae vibes, and the melodies are quite lovely too!
Ocean Melody – Waltz of the Stars | Lyre Solo
Paying tribute to Lyra from the acclaimed fanfic Background Pony some more, Ocean Melody treats us to a new waltz under the stars (giving me FF8 vibes with that title), expressing gratitude in the description as well for the occasion of Thanksgiving!
OnlyJustCrazy – Spiked Punch (Far Out, Dude) | Electro
OnlyJustCrazy/DnBeanie closes their Mane 6 & Spike series with an appreciated song about our dragon friend, taking an interesting approach… The song is blending cute melodies with Trap vibes so well, and it’s a combo that works well for this concept!
[P@D] John Kenza – Remember | Progressive Trance
So, everypony, for our next “Eclipse” track we’ve got John Kenza’s “Remember”–5 minutes of purely awesome Progressive Trance. The song gives off this video game-y vibe that immediately reminded me of the amazing times I have had with my friends playing all kinds of games, so I would say that if creating a sense of nostalgia is the goal then this song accomplishes that right out of the gate. But enough of me just rambling on–let’s get to this beauty of a track. The song, as I mentioned before, starts out on a video game-y beat and melody with an understated backing melody creating a little extra atmosphere until, without warning, it gets even more awesome by launching into a high energy, all-out beat. Then, suddenly, the music fades out. Surprise! A wild piano solo appears! I have seen piano solos used in the middle of EDM tracks more and more over time, and it is an amazing addition! After the piano plays its last note a beat begins that’s similar to the one before, and it really puts the progression into Progressive Trance. After that we get a buildup where you can actually hear the first notes of a new, third beat, and sweet Celestia the third one goes all out! It’s happy and upbeat, it has a melody that fits perfectly to the synth, and the drum loop is catchy as well. The outro with a ticking clock signals that you have reached the end of an amazing journey through your memories. I highly enjoyed the trip myself, and I hope that you will enjoy your own journey as you listen to this song!
As always thanks to thecanderson for making sure my writing actually makes sense!
[P@D] Totalspark and Tw3lv3 – Orbit | Liquid Drum and Bass
Today, everypony, we’ve got ourselves some lovely DnB tunes by Totalspark and Tw3lv3 straight from Ponies at Dawn’s newest album “Eclipse”. The track starts out with a muffled beat and a beeping timer counting down to the song, which fully embraces the beat after some lovely singing. The main theme is a faster DnB beat that really can’t be described other than saying it’s absolutely awesome. After the beat fades out we get some more lovely singing, and you can very slowly but surely hear the beat building up for the drop again. Another round of vocals then transitions the song back to the faster beat. But wait, there’s more! Rather than simply fading out, the song concludes with a lovely bit of piano that is at once calm, atmospheric, and gripping.

SpinScissor – The Vault | Electronica
We’re all equal here! To our greatest delight, SpinScissor made a fan song about Starlight in the S5 premiere and that eerie cutie mark vault! The lyrics are expressing Starlight’s perspective so well and it feels so epic, there’s vocal chops of her voice from the show as well which makes it even more emotional, and the old-school Dubstep-like instrumental feels so nostalgic!
[P@D] Tripon – And In Darkness May She Reign | Dark Ambient Technofolk
My second favorite from P@D Eclipse, And In Darkness May She Reign is the kind of dark beauty from Tripon that we all wished for when we saw that name in the tracklist. Atmospheric, deep and mysterious, its progression is a real journey into unknown and faraway territories, and also a trip into fascinating lore that the musician crafted and that you can read from the description!
Dandelion & Flash – Flower Power Friendship | Psychedelic Rock
Dandelion is sharing some more Psychedelic Rock pieces lately and it’s such a delight for the fan of 70s rock that I am! This one is lovingly using Fluttershy vocal samples to make a “Fluttershy Boo-Hoo edition” (I sure got that reference!) and the result is so nostalgic and refreshing at the same time!
