iblank2apples – Flutterwander | Synthwave / Future

A Fluttershy song! A really chilling and amazing song brought by iblank2apples!
The synth work is amazing, along with the leads and drops creations! The vocal chops used from the classic song sung by Fluttershy – So Many Wonders – are really amazing! This song is really sweet and adorable! I’m really thinking seeing a video in A State of Sugar with this song! Also the cover art, I love it! Sooooo cute!

Additional review from Makenshi:
Start of Makenshi’s writeup
Expanding in new musical directions, iblank2apples presents us another treat from his recent streak (and it sounds like it’s not over yet!), delivering gorgeous sounds and melodies, a mellow and Synthwave-y mood, and Fluttersamples from So Many Wonders that can definitely shape into any kind of use! Empowered by the might effect of that powerful artwork by Ashura924, this release delights as much as a sugary Fluttercocktail!

Elias Frost – Mad Twience (Covering Daniel Ingram) | Synthpop / New Wave

Russian musician Elias Frost returns with a 80’s Synthpop / New Wave cover of one of the songs from the Equestria Girls shorts.

Elias Frost’s vocals capacity fits with this Synthpop instrumental, proving also that Elias is a good player and also a good vocalist. This cover really will take you on a journey through the 80’s New Wave scene! You really will enjoy and love this amazing cover, if you are into the popular rock music of the beginnings of the 80’s. Elias Frost is an experimentalist in the rock/metal genre, always coming with new genres for his tracks and this cover proves it! All that robotic vocals, I love them!

Vylet Pony – World Adrift | Synthpop

Another little gem from Mystic Acoustics, this track follow’s Vylet’s synthpop(?) style that resembles certain Porter Robinson tracks (I don’t think I ever got off the Worlds hype train tbh). Be sure to check it out if you like that style, and ICYMI, the entire album review is here.

A State of Sugar – Lollipop | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre


The team behind the trancey chill pony themed promo channel A State of Sugar have came together around 6 months ago to organise the collaborative’s first album. Now the album is finally ready, featuring both some of the regulars to the channel and a few new artists to the scene too! In total this one reaches 21 tracks, so if you’re still overwhelmed by the size of the Ponies At Dawn albums, this is something a little more digestible but still completely fresh for you to try out.

Lollipop is available to download from A State of Sugar’s Bandcamp page, and keep an eye out for some of the songs from it here on the site.

[P@D] Flittzy – You And I | Alternative Dance / Alternative Pop

Another great track from the newest and awesome P@D album: Guardians. Flittzy bring us a great tune reminding me of 90’s music acts such as Primal Scream. This tune, which talks about the relation between Twilight and Princess Luna, has everything for becoming the best song on this great album full of surprises! First the vocals are well performed, Flittzy does an awesome job singing and we already know that! Second is the writing capacity of Flittzy, those lyrics were really cool, awesome and with some really meaningful messages. Third is the mixing and instrumentation, the instrumental is very good and the mix between the guitars and the drum machine was pretty awesome, don’t forget the mix between the instrumental and the vocals that was pretty kickass also!

Don’t forget to buy or download the full Guardians to listen and admire other artists from this lovely fandom! I LOVE YOU ALL ’cause You and I take part in something greater!

Viricide Filly – Back From Reality | Album | Electronic


FINALLY! After 3 years of hard work and production, British musician Viricide Filly releases her 5th album. Bringing us a mix of incredible textures and melodies that are really inspiring and incredible, making the album worth more than just 1 listen! Really, listen to this album more than 5 times! Because this is really amazing!

Now, what I can say about this amazing masterpiece? First, Viricide’s robotic vocals in songs like “Stuck In The Sky” (available on video) are very well mix with the instrumental and the lyrics of the songs are also quite awesome! Second, I love a lot Viricide’s experiments at each track, the intro track is well performed, and also the experiments at “Vanishing Point” (available on Cider Party) are really incredible and gives an atmospheric look to the track. Third, this album actually tells a story about Viricide’s OC, Eleanor, making a great and inspiring concept album.

I recommend this album to everyone, without exceptions! Also, listen to this more than 5 times, please! Give Viricide the feedback that she deserves for her 3 years hard work!

You can download the album from Viricide’s Bandcamp or stream the whole thing on YouTube.

Various Artists – Horse Music Central Vol. 3 | Compilation Album | Multi-Genre


You may remember the two previous albums released by the crew over at Horse Music Central, their last one being released at Christmas with a distinct wintry theme. Now the regulars of the big musicians’ Discord server have another release to offer. Although no specific theme this time, it features some of the more underground artists, as well as a few classic long-running musicians.

I swear I’m getting slowly worse and worse at these writeups

Synthis – Just Hang On | Synthpop

Synthis delivers another stunning piece of synthpop. His vocals are emotional and moving. The production is top-tier, with the gentle synths and the soft wubs perfectly complimenting his singing. The lyrics, too, are some of the most uplifting I’ve heard in months. All in all, a wonderful track from a wonderful musician.

Army Gaben – Great and Powerful | Synthpop

Army Gaben has always got such awesome ideas to put in tracks and that make them quite unique, and this Trixie-centered piece is no exception, with a delightful and surprising Synthpop instrumental of many wonders. It awesomely reflects Trixie’s cute and nifty side, and I love it so much!!

TCB – Keys & Cuts EP | Electronic

Hearing a new song from TCB is fantastic enough, but having an entire EP is quite the treat. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it, but it really has a perfect variety of songs that all contain really unique vocal chops! I love the fact that there are vocal chops of characters you don’t hear vocal chops of often in here, really makes each song iconic! Read more about it after the break.
