Wow, this is excellent. Professional, catchy (especially Rainbow Dash Road), and memorable (HUUUGEly important.) It really gives a sense of feel and place.
I'd say at 1:50 the background strings (the fast changing ones) need to stop for a while, they start to wear. Great up until that point, though.
Love the Everfree Forest voices. I'd like to see a drum strike in there somewhere with a deeper thum.
Like where the caves are going. Maybe have the orchestral hits cut after a few strikes and have a haunting section, and then step the intensity (and orchestral hits back up) again? Some very high-register strings (like the pitch "sparkle sounds" often are) with low strings holding their note.
First one just left me disappointed. Just didn't sound as epic as the original Rainbow Road soundtracks, and I expected this to be even better than them, so it was kind of a let down, sorry.
Then again, all Rainbow Roads pale in comparison to Double Dash.
THUS, WE NEED DOUBLE RAINBOW DASH ROAD THEME.
That second one was amazing in terms of the emotions it meant to invoke. But I agree with Psalm Of Fire, needs a deeper timbre to the drums among the tribal voices with Everfree.
And Mines sound even more ominous than the Luigi's Mansion track from MK:DS, and that is a good thing. Loving it.
Rainbow Road gets tougher with every single game. Every. Single. Time. But I can deal with it if I get to listen to that song. The others are good too, don't get me wrong, but dammit, that first one had Dash's part from "At the Gala."
I liked Rainbow Dash Road! It sounds like something that would be in a MLP racing game. And also, did anyone else hear some part that was a bit reminiscent to Mariokart 64's Rainbow Road music?
I did much like the pieces, but I hear very little of the Mario Kart style of its forebear; whether that is a good or bad thing, I do not know. I will say that I was expecting something a bit closer to the Soyo Oka original Rainbow Road, and I agree with some posters above that the version here as shown is a bit underwhelming. The "audio sketches", though, have a lot of character and do make me excited for this project.

Screw first. Rainbow Dash Road is awesome.
Sweet music dude.
So, EqD articles show up on Twitter for me before they do in the RSS feed pulled directly from the site.
FAIL Rockmelt. FAIL.
I REALLY WANT THIS GAME
>Rainbow Dash Road
THAT TRACK
THAT FUCKING TRACK
i love mario kart, i hope this turns out to be a pretty cool game.
I hope it turns out to be a great game. I look forward to playing it too.
Both pieces were alright.

Nice. Heard a bit of Dash's "At the Gala" segment in there.
eh, RD Road was okay...I liked the menu music a lot though!
I hate to say this. I really do...
But I think the music might be a little TOO epic!
The lead synth in Rainbow Dash Road seemed a bit weak to me. It was a good track otherwise, just felt...20% less epic than I was expecting.
Everything in the second video is STUPENDOUS, though!
Pretty cool music. I hope the game is just as good.
I can't wait to play this. If it's anything like the music, it will be great.
The first one was nice, and I like it that it also included Rainbow Dash´s instrumental part of At The Gala.
The second one was SO AWESOME /)^3^(\
YES TO EVERYONE OF THEM
Sounds good to me :3. And lol at Vinyl can't handle her Dubtrot XD
games so much games waiting for them all of them this seems good so far

The second one was VERY awesome IMO.
Anyone else reminded really strongly of the Jak 3 driving soundtrack? It's a good thing.
It's rainbow dash road. It's where you go when you die. It's rainbow dash roaaaaaad. I'll miss you again.
First one was underwhelming.

1. ah, do I pick up the beat from RD's part in the At The Gala song? nice
2. nice menu music as well
damn, this got me pretty hyped for the game. looking forward to this almost as much as Fighting Is Magic
Those are two of the most amazing things I have ever heard.
This game is going to be epic.
Moar high pitch tutututu's

There is going to be a Kart Racer game? HOLYYY PONIES! I must play that!

Both vÃdeos are amazing!! Thx for your effort.
These are just too cool!
Little bit of gears of war for the mines part?
I can't wait for this to be released as an album. It's gonna be so full of awesome.
Holy shit.

Is it just me, or does the Rainbow Dash Road track have a slight feel of the Top Gear theme to it?
BTW, freaking awesome!
The Pony Kart music always sounds good, but is that game still being made? All that seems to turn up about it is new music about once a week.
My god these are amazing!
All of these are awesome. Particularly like the menu theme, but I'm also psyched about Everfree. And kudos on including Rainbow Dash's Gala solo.
Wow.. The Mines theme sounds a TON like the fourth menu theme from Portal 2! It's.. Here take a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huu3MjGICzQ
