AURA

An instrumental ambient EP released in VY's "Dropout Era" (her 22nd year on the planet this time around), it is obvious that she's feeling regrets about her public coming out--more about the loss of what she (probably) termed as "easier times." (Note the title of the album's opening song: "We Worked So Hard to Leave Equestria and Now All I Want Is to Go Back"; we all know how thinly veiled VY's Equestrian lyrics and story lines are from the events and experiences of her real life world.)

While I LOVE all of this music: it is beautiful, peaceful, healing, relaxing, enjoyable, and, of course, retains all of the mastery VY has accrued over her 15 years as a songcrafting musician, but I do miss 1) her beautiful and amazingly evocative voice, 2) her theatric and elaborately-layered "proggy" and EDM soundscapes, and 3) the intelligence and vulnerability of her wonderful lyrics.

As for the music, there is still enough lo-fi dub-step (and smile-provoking Morse code) mixed in with the Yes "Soon, Oh Soon the Light" synth soundscapes to make it uniquely Pony (and still uniquely good).
