Upbeat melodies, bouncy beats, and mixing that’s to die for (pls teach me!) we have another outstanding track from NeverLastStanding. Also taken from Beauty In The Trees, this electro-influences house track is a very worthy addition to the album.

Glorious bass house / trap type thing idk genres rly. Another banger from the Shika No Mori Sound compilation album, Vylet delivers top-notch sound design and mixing as per usual. 👍

Shika No Mori Sound – Beauty In The Trees | Album | Multi-Genre
It’s time for a new collaborative album from the community, everypony!! And this one certainly delights and holds many surprises! Living up to its lovely title, the album from collaborative effort Shika No Mori Sound (“Forest of Deer”) delivers tracks of pure beauty and power, featuring musicians from all around the community, including familiar names but also some you might not have heard of. What they all have in common is that they did amazing to bring this concept justice and produce a mighty album as beautiful as a forest!
Starting off with the very headbangable Venality from R3ctifier centered around the events of Friendship Games, the first half of the album hits as hard and powerfully as witnessing the many wonders of Nature would feel, with very enthralling tracks such as Aven‘s Purpose (#4), the dark and heavy Worlds from Flak (#14), the insane Dustep madness of IKX in Two Faced (#12), even bringing all the Hardcore with track #7. And this goes not without mentioning the cute yet powerful mellow interlude of Kawaii Dash‘s Bubble Tea (#6) that surprises with a mighty sound design and Future mood!
The second half of the album further embodies the gentle, invigorating and emotional beauty that Nature can grant to those who open their soul to it, with chill-ish songs that matches the concept in the most wonderful ways. Starting with Fallen Empire from emotional Chillout master Totalspark (#15), we then get entranced by the mighty groove and originality from Waifu Avenue‘s 16 Under 20 (#17), dive into the amazing depths of Ax:l‘s Bröadcast (#18), wander through DisCHORD‘s Wilderness with both awe and energy (#19), inger in bliss as the Drum & Bass of Progressive Element‘s Crystal Fragments stimulate our ears and soul (#20), get hit so hard with the amazing soundscapes of Chillout masterpiece Dreamscapes from Totalspark (#21, his second contribution to the album and my personal favorite from the album), to end with the much welcome piece from Vinyl Darkscratch Snipershy’s Ballad (#22) and Shü77erfly‘s melodic Atmosphere that warms the heart and soul (#23).
You can get Beauty In The Trees on its Bandcamp page. And don’t forget to give mad props to all those amazing artists!! You can get their info in the “read more” section of the Soundcloud page.
To all the album’s artists reading this : You guys are amazing, thank you for blessing us with your music and for this masterpiece of an album!! Much love!
MintFritter – Through The Space | Electro-Pop
Enter MintFritter, a pony musician that went under my radar for a while, but who is definitely very promising! Through The Space is a very cute song that delightfully shows the great potential from the artist, as cuddly instrumental and vocals unfold to pay tribute to Derpy and Dr Whooves in the most mellow ways. Don’t forget to sub to the MintFritter to show your support!
A Symphony Of Two – Morning Dew | Orchestral
Spiritually echoing OST tracks such as Dewdrops in the Morning Wind, this new release from Orchestral duo A Symphony Of Two brings all the beauty of Nature in the morning, as the piano melodies wake you with serenity and wonder, and the strings create wonderful emotion. Served with very fitting art from the amazing aJVL as accompaniment!
5OUND (ANU) – Frozen Dreams | Chillstep
Be ready for a blissful experience of utter beauty as 5OUND’s latest track unfolds. Despite the presence of Fluttershy’s cutie mark in the visuals, you might still get a lovely surprise at some point during the track, as Fluttersamples are used in such a wonderful way, along a 9-minutes instrumental of much originality. Give a well-deserved sub to 5OUND who will soon change their name to ANU, I’m going through the whole channel right now and the music all around is quite enthralling and well composed!
Nicolas Dominique – Secluded Glen | Chillout
Acting like the perfect musical embodiment of Secluded Glen from Shamanguli, this new Chillout piece from Nicolas Dominique calls for Exploration and gazing at the many wonders around us as we’ve made our way to a rare landscape that only the most audacious ponies will uncover. We’ve certainly seen how Rarity’s special gift could lead her to life-changing discoveries in The Cutie Mark Chronicles for instance, so it is no surprise to have her as the protagonist of that sensory adventure now brought to you with the power of music. Take a step in, explore, and reflect as the sounds guide you to undiscovered places!

Better late than never, eh? NB: A small part of this review was also written by Spectra.
Hey kiddos, it’s Reverie, and while I’m busy being sad and hating myself that I haven’t been working on the Top Ten listings that much due to school and graduation and all that, I’ve written a comprehensive review, going track by track through ALL of the new Vylet release, entitled Super Pony World. Since we don’t want to exclude some of the deluxe version material, this is going to cover all of the base tracks plus a couple of the original pieces from the deluxe version. So, let’s hop right into it after the break!
