Sights sure loves his alternate universes and making his own stories, and creepy dark themes too! This particular song is about a pony with amnesia, and follows that classic Aviators style that Sights seems to emulate with ease these days.

Full tracklist available after the break
Francis Vace – Rainbow Factory (covering WoodenToaster) | Metal
Francis doing metal? Francis doing metal! Any reason to break out the 7-string is a good reason, or even just to put your guitars in drop D.
Various Artists – JapanPonyParty! Vol.3 | Album | Multi-Genre
We completely missed this when it first released back in May, but thanks to someone sending it in to us, we’re able to share it with you today! This compilation album featuring artists from the Japanese fandom scene was released at Japan Ponycon in May earlier this year. It features some names you might recognise (e.g. Oodoratoo2, delfino), but also has a wide variety of other artists you may never have heard of, and a huge range of genres too! The above video contains previews of each track, and the album itself can be downloaded from JPP’s website for free!
Reverbrony – Black Rose | Progressive Metal
Something a little bit different from Reverbrony – this time utilising his own vocals, something of a rarity in his extensive body of work. Whilst it’s definitely not quite at the level of quality of some of the other vocalist he brings in for many of his projects, it has a lot of promise regardless and absolutely suits his signature brand of progressive metal.
Atmosphery Pony – You Keep Me Waiting | Indie
Here’s a short tune from Atmosphery Pony. There’s some cool guitar work in the background but it’s the vocals that really carry the track which despite its length is nicely paced with an organic rhythm.
Mathematicus & Art Fonseca – Rarity † Fluttershy | Indie
Something with a little bit more of an artistic indie flourish, we see another track from the recently returned Art Fonseca and the ever-creative Mathematicus. The song is divided into 2 parts: ‘Toils’ and ‘You & I’, and features on Mathie’s new album, Zeitumkehrer, a collection of songs made by herself and friends over the past three years.
Redd – Little Dreams (covering Vylet Pony) | Grunge
While everyone else was out remixing Little Dreams for SPW Deluxe (guilty as charged), Redd decided to go in a different direction and cover the song instead. Redd has a way with completely switching up songs when he covers them (like his cover of The Smile Song), and gives a totally new feel each time he does so!
Jyc Row – Fire of Daydream (feat. Skyline) | Orchestral
The bagpipes are back out again for another Jyc Row song, this time a collaboration with Skyline, who did the guitar parts towards the end of this track. The addition of that guitar really takes this orchestral piece to another level and gives it a good symphonic rock vibe too!
Sprocket – Praise the Sun | Hip-Hop
Part of the ongoing “Princess Variations” project, a series of songs about Celestia and Luna, based around the same basic chords and melodies but performed in different styles and genres. This song seems to have a bit of everything; a hip-hop style beat, subtle rock keys and guitars, electronic vocoded vocals, and orchestral parts which come and go with the progression of the song. It’s such a diverse soundscape, I wasn’t expecting to hear something quite like this from Sprocket but he’s done an amazing job here!
