Ponies at Dawn - Skyward (Compilation)

  
        
        
          
          



28 апреля вышел новый альбом-сборник композиций брони-музыкантов проекта «Ponies At Dawn» под названием «Skyward»! Семь десятков композиций семнадцатого альбома проекта гарантируют полное погружение в музыку, истории и воспоминания!..
За остальной информацией прошу под кат)

Нам с семьёй очередной раз удалось пробиться, так сказать, причём с двумя композициями сразу — пусть одна из них не столь новая и не столь оригинальная, но оттого не менее любопытная) Достаточно много металлических знакомых оказалось на новом альбоме — включая Криса и многим известных DivinumX и Blackened Blue. L-Train, Reverbrony, Thrasher, Quicksilver, Osoch — все они тоже здесь, и будут восполнять недостаток металла, ибо я в этот раз отправил нечто непривычное для себя..) В своё оправдание могу сказать, что во всём виноват грядущий альбом — а дальше посмотрим…

Месяц почти прошёл, пора подводить личные итоги!
В этот раз пусть будет слегка другая расстановка композиций — на одну секцию и на… ещё одну секцию)
#01 Foozogz & PrinceWhateverer — Heavenbound
I really enjoy the «flying» chord transitions in the bridge near the end, plus PrinceWhateverer's voice works pretty good with this type of music.

#05 RKDM — Hardline
There's a really sweet part with voice chops, not to mention those cute chiptune synths.

#12 John Kenza — Life Box
8-bar progression definitely sounds more interesting than a 4-bar progression, right?.. Especially with that piano intermission.

#13 iblank2apples — Sneak Horse
There's that quiet bridge with nice chords that makes this short track sound satisfying. Yeah, go love the chords, everyone!

#16 PegasYs — Dental Damn VIP (feat. Midnight Melody & TheMusicReborn)
This sounds way, way more different than what I honestly expected. That transition to dnb flow is my favourite part though.

#20 Plum Creek Rhythm Section — Liftoff
This is the type of alternative rock music I enjoy. Love the old vibes in vocals and breakdowns («Finch» for some reason?..)

#21 Flittzy — Where The Days Have Gone
Everyone loves Flittzy's voice. Everyone, praise Flittzy for his tunes. Also listen to the guitar on the second verse.

#22 Lilikha — Tulip (It's Going To Be Okay!)
Oh, such a cute little clockwork-like thing! So comfy `*_*`

#23 Faulty & PegasYs — Hottie Trotties
Dance party, ultimate combination of Faulty's beats and Pega's talkbox and chords. Oh, and that «nyem!» sound of course `^_^`

#25 Skunked — Sky High
A cheerful and happy track with the equivalent of energy only Pinkie Pie would handle.

#27 Suskii — Mischievous Deed
Sexy and exquisite bughorse moves. I swear, this is the only way to describe it!

#29 MEQA, L.M., Cosmic Fox, AJ Young, Soundnix & Quadrivia — Bronycalypse
All the different parts are glued together so solidly with so many stylish approaches and various chaotic elements, that's just crazy 6_9

#33 BlackIceMusic — Updraft
A classy banger oversaturated with tasty voice chops and smug synth beats.

#35 Faulty — Beyond (feat. Silver Note)
I'm enjoying Silver Note's voice in general, but here I really adore the Mary-Ann vibes in the vocals `^_^`

#39 KeyBird — Digital Natives
OH DAMN, THIS INTRO IS JUST ULTIMATELY GORGEOUS!!! The whole track is a strange mix of Jean Baudin, electronic version of MCM, random slow funky fusion and Hiromi Uehara.

#40 Tripon — Shy Beat
This one makes me feel uncomfortable and forces me to look at dancing batponies. Don't even ask me how this happened =_='

#43 Reverbrony — The Orca's Mercy
Despite the length, this thing gets really groovy from time to time

#45 Blackened Blue — Wrath
Classic metalcore stuff. Surprisingly I'm glad this doesn't have any common breakdowns. A dry one.

#48 Luna Ticks — Growing Up
I can hear Francis Vace's voice here and I really enjoy his vocals here. Change my mind.

#51 L-Train & TheMusicReborn — Once And Future Heroes
We're finally getting more brass instruments. Amazing equestrian march piece.

#56 Doodled & Hoofy — Wonderful Summer
Overall sweet and nice song because of the story told here. Though for me it was summer of 2013 >_>'

#59 GrazySmash — Thunderbolt
Aggressive and hard trance. A decent one, despite being short for this type of music.

#60 Quadrivia — The Day It Turns Around
Do we like Quadrivia's music or do we love it? That's a good question. But it's definitely cool enough to enjoy in full — with vocal chops and harsh breaks.

#67 Totalspark — What's Underneath
Relaxing softness and transparency in this one makes me feel relaxed and transparent. No, it's not a joke. No.

#69 Wandering Artist — Sky City (Day & Night)
Cuteness overdose, curious innocence and playful childishness `^_^` Even when the day turns to night it still feels like a good time spent in a land of childhood.

#70 RoomVR & Zephysonas — Starlight Sanctuary
The majestic, dim and ambient overture that warmly embraces you the with calm love and wise beauty — then dissolves in a misty light.

#08 Frozen Night — Unsung
First I must say I haven't read «Background Pony». Yet. Yeah, I know I'm guilty for still not reading it, especially as a musician. So I can't exactly feel what's happening in this track, but even without the context it sounds majestic. It's really impressive how the constant dynamic changes smoothly flow through the whole thing, plus I really like the ambient sounds that blend with the soft soloing violins here and there — especially in the second part of the composition. I know how hard it is to keep the constant tension until the end, but here this goal was reached in full with a rich variety in instrumentation/orchestration.

#09 Totalspark & RoomVR — Stasis
I like the rainy feel in this one, although it reminds me more of GRIS soundtrack — partially only, of course. Slow and quiet rain sounds, just like sad flashbacks from the past — not grievous though, but calm, silent and serene in some way. I would say that despite the track is called «Stasis» there's still some life inside of something or someone that looks frozen. Yet the very last chord just… coldly stops the heartbeat of a motionless being for good..?

#10 Mufaya — Prepare To Launch
Sorry for that, but I hear GRIS mood here as well >_>' I know it's not a well comparison, but I just can't help it. The growing tension strums the nerves exactly like the preparation for a rocket launch, where everything must be done precisely perfect for a successful mission. As if it's the last hope for the inhabitants of the surface. The music also draws comfortable and numbly beautiful pictures of what lies ahead and what will be left behind after this «launch» in the end.

#15 Age Of Vinyl — Heroes Of The Sky
A really nice and mellow dnb with amazingly soft piano and voice chops. It gives that «highspeed bright-coloured waterfall» or, simply put, journey'ous feel. Do you see the sunset on the shore while driving at 180kmh on a mountain highway in a cabrio?.. I do. And it looks and feels wonderful from all angles. This music is just something to reflect your memories on. Sounds like the type of audio-spectrum you can actually drink and enjoy the aftertaste — a sweet cool strawberry-lime drink with a pinch of bitterness in it.

#17 BlueBrony — Flight Machine
Oh this is indeed a great one! The percussion is simply glorious here and this adventurous spirit is at it again — BlueBrony is really good at putting this type of atmosphere in his songs. All the instrumentation teases the imagination with cinematic action and liveliness. You can literally _see_ this breathtaking story happening right before your… ears? >_>' And don't forget the lyrics — I must say I was surprised by how deep the lyrics became in the very last lines alone — all of sudden.

#18 Replacer — Never Die
Surprisingly this time I wanted to talk more about the lyrics of a new Replacer's track first rather than the music here, but… Well, music first anyways! Of course we have this «classic» Replacer sound with references to structures of his past works yet still with surprising musical twists as… almost total lack of darkness in this one? Yes, I call it surprising, because one moment you think it'll sound one way, but then he turns the melody in a completely different direction as if not wanting to leave even a hint of a shadow mood in this one. The lyrics (and the background in the video!) are both the flashbacks and the sequel, and even though it feels differently for us, I at least can agree that the light will never die. The time will never come.

#42 L-Train — Skysurfer
Surf-metal dnb time! First of all let me say that this style combination is unique by itself for me. Second — from the album preview I expected softer rock vibes, but… nope! Alongside with the catchy fresh-wave main riff we got these fast dnb beats mixed with metallic rhythm-guitars and hammond solo which sounds more power-metal rather than classic rock — maybe because of the solo speed or simply the instrumentation surrounding it. The result is one hay of ride, surfing the clouds with no less than a rocket-engines-powered metal sleds.

#44 DivinumX — Kindling
It's been a while since «Intra» days, but looks like we've got some modern-mdm on board this time! In my opinion DivinumX brings one of the best examples of this sub-genre to the brony metal scene. The blurred soft vocals make the whole song stand out from the common sound scheme, but it's a nice concept for this style anyways. Even the extreme vocals sound mellow and fitting to the whole reverb'ey atmosphere here — and don't forget about that really cute guitar solo, tchie.

#46 Osoch — An Eclipsed Land (feat. Pablo Mono & Chris Wohrer)
Another modern melodic death experience! But this time it's a different side of this subgenre — with trance-like verses and powerful clean vocals. And of course it's a LOW-TUNED TUNE. The composition isn't too chaotic and more of a straight-forward action. Osoch keeps making collabs with cool musicians and that's the way I like the metal part of P@D albums. And you need good headphones/monitors to enjoy the low chord progression on the solo — it's worth it.

#49 StealingShad3z — Shut Me Up (feat. Agatan)
I really adore how Shadэz decided to go with softer stuff this time because it sounds so amazing! I must give more credit to Agatan's voice though, but the instrumentation worked great with the vox — especially the bridge part before the final chorus personally — so the final mix turned out mellow and enjoyable. Let's keep the pop-rock this way, can we?..

#52 GhostXb — Burning Wings
Gosh, what is that? Oo This sort of orchestral music is what needed to be on this album since the beginning! I'm really glad this gem was brought here — and the Transistor vibes it delivered (probably because of some certain instruments and overall atmosphere). The arrangement is so beautiful and logical it sounds really inspiring and free. Can't hold my imagination but keep seeing this track in autumn-orange/red colours. And the chromatic taste of dying sunrays. More like burning leaves and amber feathers.

#54 Mane In Green — Rituals And Dances Of The Pegasi (feat. Koron Korak)
This time Mane and Koron brought us a slowly developing spiritual folk composition — that totally justifies the track length! Starting as a ceremonial polite rite it later turns into a joyful, moving and catchy feast music. With the bagpipes and violins creating the dancing atmosphere and the distorted guitars underlining the burning spirits of winged horses, the track moves forward showing various moves, twists and modulations — everything builds up until the bagpipes return with the main theme once again to end the story on a high note with a slow and soft release. Extremely amazing, beautifully carved and perfectly delivered lovely masterpiece — and my personal favourite track from the whole album `^_^`

#61 AJ Young — Fighting Fear (feat Synthis)
Atmospheric stuff from AJ Young is always amazing to hear and this time it's a collaboration with one of softest and sweetest vocalists of this community. All seven minutes of this beauty are worth it, starting with nearly-ambient calm introduction and going through several stages of musical development — as well as hard-hitting drops — towards the end, accompanied by touching lyrics. Yes, it's a gorgeous and bright atmosphere all around.

#64 MEQA — Hydia
I remember how shocking it sounded on the stream. The introduction was rocking cool and the following part felt chill and blues-rock'ishly jazzy and after that it was A FREAKING HAMMER beating up my brains to a puddle of sticky liquid. The combination of these elements is really unique to say the least and the surprising effect of such sudden transitions made it impossible to resist. Fresh and cool, straight out of a brain fridge!

#66 F 109 — Stehekin
The first impression is nothing but a gentle disguise here. Of course I was comparing this track to some Bastion music, yet again it was driven by something deeper and darker than that. It's the middle part where things start to sound mysterious and lonely, accompanied by the noises of the old vinyl. One moment you were surrounded by chirping birds and green meadows and next second you're sitting on a lifeless pale rock floating on the orbit of a world you'll never see so close again. There's only you, the outer space, the old vinyl and the ringing silence inside your head — even those voices from the past went dormant. Forever, I presume.


Такие дела. Впереди пора конвентов, а также новые альбомы — кстати, A State of Sugar уже открыли приём композиций на новую сборку!

Стрим всегда изначально идёт на PVFM, на ютуб лишь дублируется. Вот только в этот раз на стриме что-то пошло не так, поэтому после четырёх часов стрима на ютуб осталась последняя надежда — но всё обошлось)

Последние десять композиций лучше не слушать, а то аспирина потом не напасешься. Лучше всего звучит середина, ну и самое начало, пожалуй. Понравился хип-хоп(55,56). Спасибо.
