Nevermourn kicks off his channel in a great and powerful way with a sparkling character theme for Trixie in Drum & Bass format. Reflecting the coolness in both Trixie’s mischievous side and her skills as an Illusionist, the track hits hard and relentlessly with sick melodies and beats, and lays down a very enjoyable dark mood.
Original
Wubcake, Royalpony & The Cosine Pitchshifterz – Midnight Sparkle 10.0 | Hardstyle
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 4 March 2017.
The Cosine Pitchshifterz and Royalpony are the two main hardstyle producers in the fandom, so it’s cool to see them teaming up with Wubcake for a pretty epic track! Wubcake provides some strong voice acting for the piece (minor language warning there), and the track builds up with some epic choral stabs before it falls into some signature kick-driven rawstyle. Check it out if you’re up for some aggressive stuff!
Note: Since the original video got removed, you may find the WAV file of the song here.
Luck Rock – Luna’s Dream | Soft Rock
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 6 March 2017.
Luck Rock’s back with a more acoustic-oriented piece that focuses on Luna, with some lovely orchestral elements helping to complement the guitar, and steady vocals.
NeverLastStanding – Your Friend | Happy Hardcore / House
We can always count on NeverLastStanding to spread further the wonderful messages of the show and the amazing values of this community, and that’s why I recommend to always check his descriptions! But it’s not just through words. In the heartfelt music that NeverLastStanding is composing, the messages are stronger than words, and the emotions are conveyed through music. This original track is no exception, with Happy Hardcore melodies that seem to shout positive meanings wide and loud, pony vocal chops evoking our feelings for the ponies, and a strong but sweet beat that also just seems to call for emotions. As we get reminded of many “important things”, and as powerful emotions arise from the beauty of both the music and the meanings behind it, we share in joy, united by ponies, what makes us unique as a community. I love you all! And you heard the pony! We need your help!
Liquid Harmony – That Special Mare | Electronic
In more heartfelt songs news, this gift to Derpy for Derpy Day (March 1st – yes, I know, we’re late to cover this!) is as lovely in its nature as it is sounding lovely. With mellow and very MLP-ish synths and melodies, soft drums, and even acoustic guitar, this tribute to our beloved mailmare is sweet as honey and is calling back to community feelings toward Derpy, which I’m sure will never fade.
Lunar Drift – Lunar Drift | Electronic
Lunar Drift made a very lovely tune for his Bronyversary, and it is dedicated to the whole community!! I so love to see heartfelt tributes like these. With a musical style that would definitely fit well in a video game, the instrumental track delights with a masterful progression full of inspired melodies, breathing life, and conveying emotions so well. Thank you Lunar Drift for this wonderful piece and gift!
Crusader! – The Mare At The Discotheque | Pop
Crusader delivers a much welcomed Pop song about Vinyl Scratch, and it is quite catchy! Featuring Crusader’s awesome vocals and paying tribute to the famous unicorn DJ and musician, it feels like a choon to play at parties in Equestria!
GhostXb – Lazy Sunday | Orchestral
A more laid-back piece from GhostXb, but that is still as emotion-inducing and masterfully composed as we could expect from the talented musician. Short in length but expressing much, the track uses many differents strings in a relaxed progression, some that we already heard in previous tracks, and they doesn’t fail to reflect the scene of the cover art by Jowybean in deep, gorgeous OST-like ways.
Totalspark – The Night’s Lament | Trance
NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 06 March 2017.
Totalspark takes on yet another genre, with his attempt at trance on show here. Building in with some soft, dark pads and slight vocal sounds, his vocals then come in to complete the introductory atmosphere – his soft vocals fit really well with this kind of music. The main part builds in pretty quickly, with the soft atmosphere taken over by some heavy trance synth vibes, before we’re treated to some lovely outro piano. Make sure to give it a listen!
Frozen Night – The Blind Forest | Orchestral
Taking an unusual (wooden) path in the community’s Orchestral music, Frozen Night delights us with a new release part of an upcoming EP, and it embodies the regal and awe-inspiring aspect of a fantasy forest just perfectly. Sounding like it’s straight from some epic movie, the track brings forth wooden winds and majestic strings, for a mighty instrumental imbued with The Magic of Nature…
