Nos. 72 and 71 get skipped as they don't meet my criteria for inclusion.
Fluttershy's first real song, "So Many Wonders" from "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", was the inspiration for a number of choptunes. One in particular (have patience!) has stood the test of time and remains hugely famous, but ColaEuphoria's approach was slightly different. This is a fairly upbeat, poppy song with lots of synths and snare drums. According to the video description, this was the artist's first time "playing with vocals" – and they made the PMV too! That same description provides a Mediafire link for a 320k MP3. ColaEuphoria has released nothing since 2013, but at least we have this.
By an eerie coincidence, this track uses samples from the same Fluttersong as the one above. It's electronica, although of the floaty rather than super-heavy type, and as such it fits its subject rather well. Apparently this was a quickie, made in just three hours! The artist is now known as OMNI and took his Pony music private when he moved on from the fandom in 2013, apparently due to the requirements of the commercial music industry. Happily, at least some of it has since returned, including this song. For HQ, the link in the video description is dead, but you can still purchase the track for a mere 50 cents on OMNI's Bandcamp.
That last song was calming. This one is anything but. Featuring disconcerting piano and strings, together with the sounds of nature and snippets of a certain Led Zeppelin classic you may be able to guess from the track title, this is very much a song for Pinkamena. PiercingSight hasn't released anything on their channel since spring 2012, but some readers of this blog may well be familiar with their Fimfiction output, and that account remains at least intermittently active. There's a direct download link to the EP this song is part of in the video description, though quality is only 191 kpbs.
Next time: I'll be introducing another big name from the early days of the brony music scene!
