Elias Frost – They are the Night | Orchestral
Crossovers between our favorite series are always awesome, and for the Batman fans among you who might recognize this theme, here’s an Orchestral cover of it along a cover of Luna’s Theme from MLP by William Anderson, all in an original progression and arrangement! An epic and fitting tribute to the warriors of the Night!
Sprocket – Princess, Can You Hear Me? Pt. II (feat. W.H. Auden) | Orchestral
Sprocket’s magnus opus album The Princess Variations definitely showcases a wide variety of genres and musical inspirations, and they are always so tasteful. Blissful Classic Rock vocals are accompanied by an Orchestral instrumental that definitely displays much talent and passion, not without reminding certain songs from Roger Water’s The Wall.

Start of JustAnotherPonyGuy’s writeup
Nevermourn tries out a most peculiar and intriguing blend of genres in Azure, his submission to HMC volume 4! I really adore the Fluttershy vocals, from So Many Wonders. Nevermourn puts some wonderful pitch-shifting on them in a very novel composition.

[HMC] Viricide Filly – Eleanor’s Ocean | Indie Dance / House
Viricide’s music is not only quite unique and experimenting in unseen directions, it is also imbued with deep meanings as the amazing album Back From Reality has shown, and this song from the newest Horse Music Central compilation album continues the story of Eleanor (Viricide Filly’s meaningful OC) while pertaining to the theme and cover art of the album in some way, which is quite delectable. Showcasing that now almost signature take on vocals, the track also explores new sounds over a House body that is definitely unlike any other.
SeyN AQ – Spark | Progressive House
Showcasing an uplifting Prog House style and blessed by Flutterchops, this track from SeyN AQ’s PbN Project EP is making that gorgeous artwork by Atlas-66 Spark with magical sounds and happy vibes. Forever emotional, the Flutterchops here conducted in quite a refreshing way are doing a great job at completing the progressive instrumental full of many wonders.
[HMC] Totalspark – The Advent of Midnight | Cinematic Dubstep
Totalspark’s tune off the recent Horse Music Central Volume 4 compilation album is a cinematic-oriented track progressing into EDM elements and that makes it quite the unique hybrid track. An epic and heavy song definitely fitting that artwork of Nightmare Moon by TurnipBerry, it also displays beautiful melodies that are in the vein of Totalspark’s streak of emotional Night tracks.
CainbowRrash – Farewell Moments | Orchestral
It’s always so awesome to get new compositions by CainbowRrash, and this one, inspired by Fallout Equestria, conveys so well the tragic and “desert” mood of the theme with an inspired progression conducted beautifully and melodies and instruments enacting the story so well. The track ends with solemn yet powerful trumpet play by CainbowRrash that is the icing on the cake and that empowers the song with even more emotion.
Filly in the Box – Still Blind | Dubstep
For celebrating 500 subs, Filly in the Box releases this amazing chill dubstep tune. An atmospheric, ethereal, glitching and bouncing track that we have here. The wubs are really well made and the vocal chops are delicious and fluffy! The pads, the “creepy” instrumentation and the drumming programming!
Congrats on getting 500 subs Filly in the Box! Also, welcome back! Let your neuro and chill wubs inspire more people!
Game-BeatX14 – Changeling Invasion | Dark Electro
Some of you may know Game-BeatX14 from his awesome pony wallpapers on DeviantArt, yet the multi-skilled artist is now taking on the world of pony music on YouTube and his debut track is an enthralling Dark Electro tune about a changeling invasion. Definitely fitting very well to that theme, this onslaught of dark and intricate synths is portraying the assault with sharpness and passion.
