Elias Frost – Stories Vol. I | Folk / Orchestral

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 12 April 2017

Elias Frost has a pretty big treat for those who like folk-style orchestral music! His new EP ‘Stories Vol. 1′ has just released, featuring a number of tracks that tell a symphonic story of Princess Platinum. There’s some lovely variety, with some more uplifting pieces, as well as ones that are obviously a lot more folk-y oriented. A couple of them, Royal Duty and Party At Puddinghead’s have already been featured before so may be recognisable, but there’s a bunch of new stuff here too. Give the EP video a listen, and check it out on Elias’ bandcamp!

Blue Note – The Call Of The Wilds | Orchestral

An impressive masterpiece from Blue Note, this full-fledged symphony tells the story of an imagined journey through Equestria (more details on the story in the description) and every movement does a mighty job at conveying the mood of the moment and of the place the journey is at. The video even features awesome art that Blue Note made for the story, and the thumbnail of the video features the route of the journey that has been imagined realistically and traced on the official map of Equestria. Overall this story-empowered progressive experience is a powerful and complete fanon extension of the show and it is always so awesome to get in this community.

Mane In Green – A Special Friend | Orchestral

A Special piece for A Special Friend, Mane In Green’s new release is a wonderful token of the Magic of Friendship and what makes our community so unique. Many works of art in the community and even group projects have been made toward friends in the past, but it’s always a delight to see no matter the medium, and it’s like we can “hear” the feelings from this tender Orchestral instrumental.

CainbowRrash – Relaxing Sunny Day | Soundtrack

CainbowRrash always creates such unique tracks full of sweet ideas, and this new release blends in both acoustic and electric guitars, trumpet, and even piano for a wonderful result that is as soothing as it is delivering a very enjoyable OST vibe. This sounds straight from the OST of a J-RPG, and that is big for me to say considering how much I’m a fan! The progression of the track and the addition of all those instruments and melodies are truly making for a delightful treat, and it is perfect for a Relaxing Sunny Day.

Poni1Kenobi – Listen to Me | Power Pop

Part of the album Cracked Crystal Collection that tells a personal story, this new track from Poni1Kenobi delivers an awesome Power Pop vibe full of sweet-sounding vocals and a powerful rock accompaniment, not without reminding of the works of The Shake Ups In Ponyville. This is something I can perfectly imagine being played at a gig in Ponyville!

Ponytronic – Values | Drum & Bass

A new wonderful release from Ponytronic closing the current song series about Luna, this Night track isn’t lacking of those tender and comforting vibes we children of the Night are appreciating. Mellow synths, reflective breaks, unusual beat pattern, and gorgeous piano are all contributing to create an emotional experience over the progression of the song. The symbolism of the coming of the Night with the cricket sounds at the beginning, and the coming of the Dawn at the end with the bird sounds, is also amazing and adds much depth to the track. As for the special ending of the song, it stays true to Ponytronic’s Values when it comes to composing, and makes for a wonderful finale.

Lunar Drift – A Rarity in Time | Swing Piano

A much graceful new release from Lunar Drift, A Rarity in Time emphasizes on Rarity’s antics in S05E15 Rarity Investigates and truly shines bright as a rarity, going for a jazzy swing piano route with even a delightful guitar part providing the icing on the cake. This, fillies and gentlecolts, is Lunar Drift’s magic!

Skelter – Everfree | Trap

Definitely one of Skelter’s finest works, this new Trap tune feels like the musician is going all-out, with punchy lead melodies, a solid beat, various Trap vocal samples, and a tasty bass. The twist at 2:45 is especially impactful and really hits powerfully, completing the whole track as a mighty Trap anthem for the Everfree Forest.
