Ponies At Dawn – Voyager | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre


Here it is, what’s bound to be the best Ponies At Dawn album yet. With each new album comes both a new selection of artists as well as some of the great ones who have been around for a while – something that is in my opinion the best balance when compiling brony music.

The album is available completely for free on Bandcamp, or you pay whatever amount you wish for it. You can expect to see many of the songs from it posted on the site in the coming days and weeks!

Audio

Insanity – Comets | Drum & Bass

My only qualm with this is that the master sounds a little over-compressed, but otherwise we’ve got a solid dnb track from Insanity here, making their debut appearance on HMH (and A State of Sugar too, for that matter). Nice work Insanity, hope we get to see more of your work in the future.

Radiarc – Uncertainty | Orchestral

Sometimes people have a set name and theme in mind for their songs, and build it based around that. In this case…well it’s not quite the opposite either, more a mixture of both. And the strong emotion that I’ve come to expect to be embedded in Radiarc’s compositions shines through as usual.

[P@D] bank pain – Empire Past | Neurofunk

Here it is. The final Cider Party exclusive feature from the upcoming Ponies At Dawn album, Voyager. This neurofunk track from bank pain is exceptional. Definitely my favourite out of the previewed tracks so far, and hopefully only a small example of what this new P@D album has to offer!

The album premiere livestream starts in 2 hours. We hope to see you there!

ertrii – You Know Well | Chill House

I was very happy to see this in my subscriptions box the other day. One of the masters of chill music, ertrii, has a new song after a few months of silence and it’s as relaxing as you’d expect. Let’s start the day off on a chill note, sit back and take a listen to this.

Technickel Pony – Sweepin’ The House | House

Oh look. The sweep remix train is still going. How about that?

Jokes aside, this is pretty cool. I’m reminded a lot of the soundtracks to the old Spyro games for some reason. Perhaps not intentional in the slightest, but it gives me a reason to enjoy it more :L

Sonic Hooves – Étude | Piano Étude

Did I mention that this song is an étude? Here we have a short but sweet piano piece from Sonic Hooves. And it’s not just put together in a DAW either, this here’s a live performance; always considerably more emotive and, for me, more enjoyable too.

Flittzy – Take A Chance | Acoustic Pop

NB: This was originally posted on Equestria Daily on 5 October 2016.

Flittzy has been around for a bit, but this is their first appearance on the site under said alias, previously known as ChickenSteve. Here he’s released a pop rock style track where the centerpiece is absolutely his vocals, which are really the main thing here that make the song really fun to listen to – definitely worth a listen if you like upbeat pop-y rock stuff.

Little Jester – Just For You | Lounge?

In a style that seems to be unique to said artist, Little Jester has a new song just for us…heh… This soft piano-driven piece is a nice and relaxing piece, with sort of jazz/lounge influences and a chord progression that reminds me of certain pop songs from the 70s and 80s. Don’t ask which ones, I’m just reminded vaguely of them :L
