Attention Musicians and Brony Music Fans: Brony Music Spotlight is moving to Tumblr

If you've seen my previous two status updates on this forum (update 1) (update 2), you probably know that large changes to Brony Music Spotlight are coming. I'm making this post to both outline these changes and announce my indefinite leave from MLP Forums.   Yesterday, I discovered a decision made by the moderators and/or administrators of MLP Forums that I find to be extremely disagreeable, to the point where I can no longer bring myself to be a part of this forum community. I can't explicit

Freewave, Dreamsong - "Celestia's Ballad (Transformation Remix)"

Track Name: Celestia's Ballad (Transformation Remix) Artists: Freewave, Dreamsong Remix Source: Celestia's Ballad Download at Pony.fm I'm gonna go ahead and start this one off with an apology to Freewave. Around the time he sent me this track last Thursday, I started rockin' one of the worst colds I have ever had. I couldn't stare at a computer screen long enough to review this track until today. "Transformation" is the name of the game here, courtesy of Freewave and Dreamsong, who bring a n

Cherax Destructor - "Sister"

Artist Name: Cherax Destructor (http://cheraxdestructor.bandcamp.com) Track Name: Sister Download at Pony.fm It's nice to see that my negativity did at least some good in this world. One of the biggest reasons I made this blog is because people of equal or often greater abilities and talent than the "top-tier" brony musicians aren't getting the recognition they deserve. That purpose is met here today, easily, with Cherax Destructor's "Sister", a track rivaling many of the "greats" in this f

concertoldham - "The Night Will Last Forever"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8bN7lJMAPc Artist Name: concertoldham (http://www.youtube.com/user/concertoldham) Track Name: The Night Will Last Forever Oooh, my first scheduled blog post. How exciting! Today's Spotlight that I totally wrote yesterday comes to us from concertoldham, known to some here on MLP Forums as Maxwell The Damaged, and the night is definitely what this track embodies. Right from the beginning of the track, the choices in instrumentation and notation reflect a s

MaudlinBrony - "Gypsy Bard (Acoustic Cover)"

Artist Name: Alexander Gaiser (MaudlinBrony) Track Name: Gypsy Bard (Acoustic Cover) Remix Source: (From Friendship is Witchcraft, episode 8: "Cherry Bomb") Anyone familiar with Friendship is Witchcraft knows about the exceptionally well-made music throughout the series. And anyone not familiar with Friendship is Witchcraft is doing themselves a massive disservice in more ways than one. Today, Alexander Gaiser, or MaudlinBrony if you prefer, brings a chipper, up-beat original composition fro

Sand Josieph, Lanovran, SiminaCindy - "Daddy Discord"

Artist Names: Sand Josieph, Lanovran, SiminaCindy Track Name: Daddy Discord As this fandom has shown time and time again, a show about friendship can be represented with some rather... different themes. Often, it's in the form of grimdark or clopping. In the case of "Daddy Discord", the phrase "creepy" has never been more fitting. The track opens up a little slowly, and it takes a bit to build itself into the niche it's trying to fill. When it does, though, I found it hard to keep the goosebu

Anorax - "Babs Seed [Anorax Remix]"

https://pony.fm/tracks/94-babs-seed-anorax-remix   Artist Name: Anorax (http://youtube.com/user/anoraxaudio) Track Name: Babs Seed [Anorax Remix] Remix Source: Babs Seed A double-feature of under-recognized music is a great way to kick Brony Music Spotlight off, right?   Anorax treats us today with his take on "Babs Seed", a song that boomed with popularity shortly after its respective episode aired thanks to its absurdly catchy nature. Anorax's remix builds on that with his smooth, alm

Nikki-Layne, Aphelion - "Zecora's Playground"

Download at SoundCloud Artist Name: Nikki-Layne Track Name: Zecora's Playground When people ask me what's missing from the brony music scene, I have several answers. One of those answers is "inspiration". Brony Music Spotlight opens its doors to its first musicians today, Nikki-Layne and Aphelion, and inspiration is the name of the game. The track starts off pretty typical, a persistent booming kick that's characterized so many EDM tracks. Around 0:08, that's when the inspiration starts, an

Brony Music Spotlight FAQ

This doesn't really count as an FAQ, as none of these questions have been asked yet, but I'm doing this in anticipation.   What is Brony Music Spotlight? Brony Music Spotlight is a blog intended on featuring very high-quality brony music. Currently, the brony music scene lacks an adequate way to highlight the very best music this community makes without regard to who makes it, what style it's in, etc. It also lacks a way for brony musicians to get guaranteed feedback on their music; the most

It Begins

If you know who I am, you may also know my stance on Equestria Daily and their music featuring system.   If you don't, here's my site. If you don't feel like sifting through all the content I have on there, I'll give you the rundown: I'm a pretty damn good musician and music producer, better than much of what you'll find in the brony music community, especially in comparison to the "pop artists" of the fandom. Not tooting my own horn here, just speaking honestly and objectively.   So you're
