It's like Pink Floyd with 8 string metal (if you ask me)! I love it! First time I heard, I heard it again. And then again one more time! They are all just great players! :-D
What I love about Plini is that he doesn't have to flex on every song and in every moment. He can just bring the melody and the movement and sit back and find greatness in the song. It's not a technical flurry constantly. It's why I think I find his music so peaceful. No doubt he can bring the speed and technicality to the song, but it's not always necessary. He serves the song instead of forcing the song to serve him. It's a beautiful thing.
This album came out on the 1 year anniversary of my best friend's death, who had introduced me to Plini. I knew him for a long time, 20 years out of the 23 i'd lived at the time of his passing. I'll never begin to be able to describe how meaningful and moving this album, or any of Plini's music is. It'll always hold a particularly special place in my heart.
The future of plini is jazz inspired prog Rock metal ambient electronic but definently adding jazz influences more and more ..keep learning plini even I am learning
It s RIDICULOUS how the most favorite moment of the whole album lies right in the place where the less playbacks have been made... JUST LISTEN TO THIS BREAKDOWN 18:57
0:00 - I'll Tell You Someday 4:08 - Papelillo 8:20 - Perfume 12:26 - Last call 16:22 - Impulse Voices 19:40 - Pan 25:13 - Ona / 1154 29:22 - The Glass Bead Game Have a nice day :)
I could hear Last Call over and over and a smile would never leave my face. It’s a masterpiece and to me just so joyful. I pray they will perform it live one day.
I love this HUMAN. He brings such beautiful insight into to progressive music. Simon, Chris, Dave and everyone else -"what an effort Guys" !!. I'm blown away..
@@Majesty_MD His guitar also has the Harmonic Overtone on the G string 9th fret, which John's Ibanez had. I see that Plini hit that note quite alot in this album
I can't explain how many people I have shown this album, it's such a shame that people miss out on this talent due to it being considered "Heavy Metal, Djent, or Prog" because of a little distortion in the guitars 🙄 Everyone has their own taste, but to those who listen to this; your taste in music is the best 🙌
First, Aaron with CIRCADIAN Then, Unprocessed with deadrose And now... to finish up this strange year... Plini’s Impulsive Voice Thank you guys. You’re turning this awful year into something special. ❤️❤️
I finished the album right now. Its a masterpiece, absolutely. Great, awesome, outstanding, AMAZING work, Plini !! I think my favorites tracks are.... Last Call, or The Glass Bead Game. And you guys ??
The best of the new generation of guitarists. Not just technically brilliant, but a fantastic composer of memorable beautiful music. Seems like a nice, humble geezer too. As a lifelong guitarist, I'm blown away by the note-choices. Just perfect. Shows you can be flashy AND tasteful. Love it! Whoever down-voted this need their ears removing.
"Pan" & "The Glass Bead Game" are definitely my favorite. It just proves how Plini's evolved as an artist, just textures and ideas I've never heard before.
Oh my God this is SO VERY PLINI .... If you were to ask me "how much MORE Plini could it possibly get?" and well the answer is NONE MORE! It could get no more Plini than this right here! It's the Pliniest of all that is Plini! All joking aside this is in my opinion the best and clearest example of the musical world that Mr. Plini is showing us. I can imagine all the 65+ year olds who made wild progressive jazz and other wild guitar music in the 70s hearing this and smiling because this is amazing and killer instrumental guitar driven music is ALIVE AND WELL IN 2020~
One of the best moments in my life was when Plini challenged me, that he would buy me a beer if I play the ending of the song on my concert with End of Scream standing (I'm a drummer), and he kept his promise... :D IMHO this is the best instrumental band in the world.
yeah, it's excellent...who knew it would fit so well. Plini did. BTW just learned there was a character named "Plinio" in the book "The Glass Bead Game"
2 years in and this is still one of my go-to albums for creativity, relaxation, inspiration and just a really great time. Thank you for making our lives better Plini!
Every single note, of which seem like millions, living its own organic life with a unique identity. Aside from the brilliant compositions, Plini's sublime dynamics and the magic of this mix are nothing short of astounding.
@@mortenhansen3455 Since this mix is great, I think vinyl should sound the same or worse. Vinyl has bass distortion and limited extension and inner groove distortion... Everything is very well mixed in this digital track, on contrary to what 99% of the industry does. Loudness war is destroying music... They tend to release vinyl records with a normal mix and digital releases loud beyond what the media can support, heavily distorted, compressed and sounding like complete garbage all in order to profit more, because shouty music tends to grab more attention of the ignorant masses and generally the only ones who generally care about quality are the ones which purchase vinyl records. The thing is, the pressings have digital masters and vinyl sounds worse than digital recordings, which is another reason why to ruin the digital mastering, all in order to justify the expensive purchases of the also ignorant but more wealthy audiophiles. Vinyl is more limited and sounds worse than 16 bit 44.1khz PCM, but poor mixes sound bad on everything you can shove then into and good mixes sound good anyway, unless the media is really terrible.
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the fact that even though almost nobody is going to look at it throughout the whole video they periodically changed things and animated the album art in this video?
Dave and Alison are also hidden stars of this album. Wow. The amount of insane talent each of these tracks have. 🔥 My ears have been blessed. The piano part on Ona made my jaw just drop. 😧
This album CONTINUES to blow my mind. Such a masterpiece...everything about it; the production, the writing, everything. Chris Allisons drumming is so creative and fluid. These guys kick ass!
For me this Is a masterpiece from this Century, i've been listen metal for almost all my life, and never listen such a masterpiece like this, long live and love to Plini
For the first time in my life, My. Jaw. Dropped. And I could not get it to go back up, for like 10 seconds, which in reality is a lonnng time. Wish I had the timestamp, but I was doing dishes. Parts of this were seriously mindblowing when I came back to this with my new Westone ES 50s and an increase in my musical awareness. Plini is one of my biggest musical inspirations
It's rare to find an artist who so consistently dominates the genre they make... plini is an exception among exceptions. This album is yet another classic.
I'm rediscovering this a year after this release, and HOLY SHIT glass bead game is so good, its everything I want from a modern metal song, a calm demeanor, not to into your face but still heavy. Its awesome.
eyooooo

Nick Johnston is this way as well.
And my man Andy timmons is wonderful with that also!
Spot on. I see that particularly exemplified in the song Pastures - it has this steady mellow groove and then that solo...THAT SOLO.
definitly has tycho vibes at times.
@@thomasfoster4091 and joseph stevenson, aka starsystems. some amazing music
Daaamn the sax solo on "Pan" IS GORGEOUS
always nice to find one of those
"Pan" IS GORGEOUS*

That song was the whole album for me for a while
this cannot be overstated lol. Such a balanced performance that added so much to the song!

Is it just me or is Chris Allison going next level on this?! To me he is absolutely slaying the drum parts, such a highlight!
its ridiculous
I thought it might be Troy Wright. This is insane drums
Chris is truly a fucking cannon
They drums had my attention on this album, and I'm a guy who usually ignores anything other than the guitar in the song
No one better, IMHO
that part on “Last Call” starting from 14:25 made me teared up.....it’s just beautiful
Came to the comments to see some love for Last Call. So beautiful 😍💯
I could hear Last Call over and over and a smile would never leave my face. It’s a masterpiece and to me just so joyful. I pray they will perform it live one day.
Pan actually made me cry is was so good 🥺😭 Absolutely unreal talent!
I love this HUMAN. He brings such beautiful insight into to progressive music. Simon, Chris, Dave and everyone else -"what an effort Guys" !!. I'm blown away..
96% 'progressive' Music not very much so,..this guy definitely in the minority. 🎸🎶💞
This music is making me VERY happy to be alive. First time hearing Plini
I hope you enjoyed haha
The whole arrangement is evolving. Earlier it was more about the guitars, but now everything is crazy groovy.

Everyone has their own taste, but to those who listen to this; your taste in music is the best 🙌
And most important of all: Plini has such a good taste that you can enjoy his djent/pro/distorted sound cos it has so much musicality
I don't really care if this genre is a niche, it's a golden treasure in my opinion 🙏

This album has been on 100% rotation for me for the past 24hrs.
"I'll Tell You Someday" will go down as an all time classic

Oh boy, new Plini
That ending... The Glass Bead Game.. feels like a hug. Beautiful
I've been listening to this 3 times a day since it's been out. Shiny crisp and joyful.
Keep the drummer.
Saw this 6 months from when you posted but 100% agree. This whole album is like a master class for drumming
Plini is more than a musician. Plini is an experience.
This album takes song writing to a whole different level. Definitely a masterpiece!
I love the little movements in the video
Only the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard.
That harp solo from Amy Turk in the glass bead game is next level :D
yeah, it's excellent...who knew it would fit so well. Plini did. BTW just learned there was a character named "Plinio" in the book "The Glass Bead Game"

Owane for sure but (and I could be crazy) Steely Dan / ELP 70s era prog.
