[ETC] Payyn – How to be Popular | Hardcore

A fantastically frantic twist on the song “Becoming Popular“, this track from the latest ETC album is a treat for any fan of intense music! Opening with a stripped down version of the melody, the song goes along merrily until it takes a sharp turn and descends into delightful distortion. What I especially enjoy about this track is how it takes such an elegant song delivered by a pony who is the epitome of grace, straps a couple of rockets to it, and sends it screaming down the tracks. Awesome.

BGM Pony Degeneracy – Fluttersad | Synthpop

(That title comes from the filename of the downloaded song from the description)
This song might make you cry! With the help of TalkNet, one of the musicians from 4chan made such a wonderful and emotional song where Fluttershy is singing to anon about the regrets she has. “I just wanted to be your mare.” That line alone is just taking me straight to where I want to belong in this community!! Thank you to the musician for this, and shout-out to all the passionate bronies on /mlp/! (If you read this, consider submitting a song to Pony Family, made precisely to showcase pony initiatives like these! Wink!)
Love, love everywhere!

[ETC] Acid Applejack – Celestia Rebirth | Frenchcore

This awesome track from Equestrian Terror Corps’ latest album opens with an eerie melody and ramps up with a Celestia vocal chop from “A Canterlot Wedding” before the fast-paced percussion kicks in. There is a delightful transition that brings in the distorted bassline, which really kicks things into high gear. The song mellows in the middle before ramping back up, and blaring sirens pair with the full arrangement to great effect! An awesome contribution to the album!

Ocean Melody – Radiance | Orchestral

What a wonderfully joyous song! I’ve been trying to temper my expectations for the movie, but it will have been an undeniable success if it has even half of the beautiful soul of this composition. Paired with a snippet of art from the trailer, the arrangement begins as if opening on sun-drenched scenes that are for now left to the imagination and blooms into a beautiful story. This song is incredibly well-composed and dynamic. Well done, Ocean Melody, and I sincerely hope that the folks who worked on the film were similarly inspired!
