This album has become my safe blanket.
I come back here when I need a bit of comfort in these troubled times.
I've had this in my ears for a month already and I still can't get over how fucking excellent it is! ^______________^
Me too!!!!!!!
Lucky SoB
Sithu pls...
I love this almost as much as Multiverse Part 2: Divergence, you beautiful man!
you bitch
Now we can tour the world.
Dibs on being the hypeman.
MageroSTC You're welcome in our nebula any time.
please do
thehelixnebulashred include Plini in your band and you guys would be the ones to replace Dream Theater when they go defunct (if ever, seriously though.). You guys are absolute beasts! & with Plini, you guys would be invincible!
Helix Nebula, Plini, I built the sky Tour...pleaaaaaaaase make this happen!
Wouldn't mind if Sithu joined too! :P
Ok, this is about to be cheesy but I can't help it right now: Going through some gnarly stuff lately, and this could not have come at a better time. Just stop everything. All the mental turbulence. I sat down and listened to this and I swear it's borderline spiritual to me. This can just lift the burden sometimes, and take you away. Again, cheesy, but seriously I thank God that this music is out there. Not to be obsequious, but really, thank you Plini for your work. It means the world to me.
It happens to me everytime I listen to music, so it's comprehensible bro :P
It's kinda weird, but everytime we go through tough times, good music appears to keep us carrying on in our lives.
As if a strange force wanted to help us.
Nothing to be ashamed of man. When things are down, stop everything and evaluate where you're standing in life. You're breathing, your heart is beating and you're able to think. What's keeping you from taking a whole other turn? Only yourself. Cheers mate. Hope things will get better soon!
charvinaldo It's not cheesy, it's honest. Honest expression is not cheesy - cheesiness is the guise of honesty wrapped in cliche.
I thank God for this music too, it's beautiful.
***** God is our planet Earth, and Plini actually means Earth... MIND=BLOWN
TheMetalHero94 Err, God isn't Earth unless your religion is some land-worshiping thing.
I love you :*
buddy!!!!!!!!!!!
I love you TWO!
Gru Music please, please make some playthroughs or something! Like what do you even look like? gru is such a mystery
guest solo on opening is magical btw, as is your solo album of course
Plini Hey Plini :) Got my cd/ shirt package in the mail yesterday! Trying not to over play it too much, but it's hard not to! Thank you for sharing your creativity with the world. Excited to hear more! You and Gru should team up on a song!
blastbeatsmashedface
haha well said!!
show us gru!!
Paper Moon is quite literally one of the greatest things I've ever heard. To call it a journey would be an understatement. You're truly something else, Plini.
Poke versions coming for this?
Oh god, that would be a challenge.
Joseph Lauletta yep def one of my favs!!
I was listening and hit that track .. came down to your comment and thought .. MAN, is this good. I get a little Steve Vai vibe from it. Story-telling with a guitar trumps vocals for me ..
I think Plini's lead tone is the most emotional of them all. Just in his tone alone he's able to convey so much. I know that sounds stupid, but it's honestly like a combination of Jeff Beck and John Petrucci. When those high notes come out with just a tad of delay and verb, it sounds fucking MAGICAL. Then you add the fact that Plini is a remarkable player with technical chops and superb musicality ... holy fucking shit
Plini's soulful bends (and lead tone) and JP's crunchy smooth rhythm and lead tone make me tear up and shiver
Paper Moon has got to be my absolute favorite song of all time. I get chills every time I listen to it.
This album was 5 years ahead of its time, "The End of Everything"
It still slaps though. I've been listening to it for months now and didn't register the significance of the name until a few days ago.
@@zakm0n Aye, my comment was actually meant to be a vague corona joke
😂😂😂
*7 years. Now we have nuclear war to worry about as well.
so fucking awesome
The more i listen to this EP, the more I'm really starting to believe that wombat astronaut may be the greatest song ever recorded. Hear me out. It's the perfect definition of what progressive music should be. No component of the song wears out it's welcome, and it moves and weaves almost effortlessly and gracefully, without a single wasted note or awkward moment, or missed beat. It's a classic example of art imitating life. It has the power to stop me dead in my tracks, no matter the time or place, what I may be doing, or how distracted I am by the pressures and obligations of the societal structure. When I press play, it scoops me up and takes me away to a place that feels both familiar, but also distant and foreign. It captures a sort of lost innocence, and makes me long for the past, while at the same time giving me hope for the future. Traveling with this song on with my buddies makes me feel as if my life is a beautiful movie being played out to it's inevitable end. It has such a genuine, sincere quality that is hard to capture adequately through words. I tried my best. :) God bless
+Stuart Black Couldn't have said it any better my friend. It's one of those songs that makes you truly thankful for music and life. :)
+Stuart Black Deep, bro.
that heart and tarred are the best songs to be brought to this planet I swear, when my son was first born I used to play it to put him to sleep. then he comes out with every piece matters another genius melody to add
Loved this. Amazing choice of words.
you're all high huh😀
Paper moon's ending gives me goosebumbs every damn time..
Powdermaster17 Plini and Animal Crossing would be a pretty good way to spend a lot of time haha
Nick Acker oh yes it is!
Can't believe they had Marco play drums on this... He blows my mind every time
+Sam Y Marco minemmanamanannn???? whatever the name is spelled
+xseq xqwe Close enough Lol.
he was such a perfect choice for this album
Its perfect. Never stop making music Plini. Never.
+Luis NEVAFKINEVA!!!
When he eventually does...it's gonna be a sad day for music. Good thing it's on the internet and will outlast humanity 😁
Yup
@@TheWitness369 I don’t think you understand much about the internet. Without energy, it won’t function, and humanity is what gives it the electricity. So while it may outlast humanity, it won’t do that for long
@@blender3935 All I said was that it would outlast humanity. Not that it would last forever...Don't let your ego create assumptions that don't exist!
I'm absolutely in love with ''Wombat Astronaut''
I wish this was about an hour longer. It's always WAY too short.
Marco's drum tones are PERFECT.
This was the EP that hooked me full on into prog metal. My friend kept trying to get me to into it, but I never really gave it a chance. After he dropped this my music experience changed for the better. I will be getting a Wombat Astronaut Tattoo soon. So many good memories
This music put a smile on my face that wouldn't go away.
Prepare to shed tears of love when you hear paper moon
magnificent beyond belief
Especially the ending part is incredible. It fills me with so much emotion every time. It's just incredible
Also, prepare to *shred* tears of love :p
After a few listen i think Paper Moon is the best song i've heard in my entire life
a whole story going on here... majestic
That intro bro... That intro !!!
Lmao yeah
Its so Jazzy
No less than epic, to say the least
Years are passed but still, this EP is one most beatiful EP to me, Thanks for created this
Anyone else listening to this masterpiece in 2020 ??
Plini's music saves my 2020 bro
2021 here bro. It gets worse, go back.
Guitar cover of paper moon poped up, followed the trail back to here, now it is my daily theme music
rather an appropriate title
nope
def not
0:00 -A sudden cataclysmic event (foreshadowed in Selenium Forest) shatters the idyllic peace you have experienced atop the floating isles (that comprise Plini's cover art), sending you hurtling downward through the stratosphere.
0:44 -But then by some stroke of luck, some benevolent force slows your fall, and you drift gently back to Earth, feeling relaxed as you take in the view. I like to think of it as a metaphorical coming-to-terms with reality.
Incredible work as always, Plini. You never disappoint. Stay humble.
Tachtzehn i pressed "show more" in the hopes that you wrote more for the entire album
+Adam Salma Oh man, I don't think I could put Paper Moon into words.
There’s a hint of “Away’s” first solo in the first song
Paper moon is just sensational.
Listened to the first song, then went and bought your entire discography. You're awesome.
Love the tie in to Heart at the end.
I knew there was a reason i liked the drums so much, marco minneman is the shit
RIGHT?! I wouldnt have guessed!!
that's fucking marco? holy fuck lmao I never thought he'd play with someone as unknown as Plini, that's amazing. Makes me even happier to listen to them
Plini's not that unknown, and I think Plini probably has a wider audience at this point than the Aristocrats haha, as amazing as they are. Marco's also played with Nick Johnston -- he works as a session drummer in many cases so most likely, if he likes your project and you hire him, he'll play.
I mean...you and I both know that compared to what Marco could be doing, Plini isn't gonna be the biggest payout for him. That said, I love him for having that mindset, that if he likes it he'll do it.
Again though, The Aristocrats is hardly a big payout either. The highest paying jobs for drummers are going to be popular bands, and that often means not getting to play very interesting music. He did tour with and play for Steven Wilson not that long ago.
2022 and this is still the best EP I’ve ever listened to
I swear to god i didn't open my eyes the entire 17 minutes. You took me somewhere beyond this world. Biggest Plini fan here . Best wishes for your future . :)
I love how Heart fits perfectly at the end of the album, it was a pretty cool :)
Cant stop listening to this
So, it's 00.43 here in Norway and I am listening to "The end of everything" but it's merely the end of a year. I would like to wish Plini and his fans a Happy and Great New Year. I would also like to thank Plini for 2015. I've had so many moments of enjoyments thanks to his incredible music. So...Thank you, Plini, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Well, it's 2023 and this album (actually all your albums) is still a wonderful, precious, unreal masterpiece and a love letter to art and to all of us, my greatest thanks for your great work Plini, you gave me more reasons to appreciate the life
seriously cant get over how amazing paper moon is. what a fantastic song
the end of trilogy is wonderful and the part between 11' and 14 minutes makes me cry
Pure love Plini
This whole ep is magical, but i just have to say that I think Wombat Astronaut is a perfect song. Literally brought me to tears, it just has so much passion and emotion
Random reminder, that popped up in the feed, to listen to this eternal classic. Feels good to listen to.
OH MY SOUL!!!!! THE INTRICATE MELODIES AND PINCH HARMONICS ARE MELTING MY SOUL!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for creating (at least in my mind) possibly the most beautiful music ever made. Blessings!
Dat Jakub solo was NUTS. Seriously, mad props to you for making the best music in the entire frigging universe. This has got to be the most inspiring stuff I've ever heard after Other Things.
Where?
@@ScrambleBandOfficial around 13:35 ?
also love how you ended the EP trilogy with the same noise that it started with. the clicky sound
I love how the music tells a story with the images in a way
I've never heard anyone blend so many different instruments and textures so flawlessly. The solo sections are so damn good
I discovered this act today, and my mind is completely blown out of the back of my head. Simply amazing.
I'm ready to die when i see Plini and Devin T record a masterpiece together
I cried at the end. Thank you Plini !
The structure is very dream theater-ish. This is like out of the world, so good !
i literally shed a tear between 16:00 and 16:07
Progressive music to the max
Nunca les pasó que lloraron porque algo es demasiado hermoso? 😭❤
Simplemente una belleza, arte en su máxima expresión, plini lo hizo demasiado bien. :')
This ep almost makes me so sad about everything in my life like you can feel it there but you can't pin point it but at the same time it is a happy feeling that you're moving on or something like that this ep makes me ready to face the new day
Wombat Astronaut may be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. I love the "unexpected" sound of it, with double bass and everything. So melodically and harmonically ingenious, and of course beautiful. It's a song with so much soul and power to it.
I want to be the first to say Wombat Astronaut moved me to tears. I can't describe how deeply this music resonates in me, and as a fellow musician I give you top props.
and that artwork. that's the cutest little space explorer I've ever seen...
genius stuff, please release more albums. the world needs this stuff.
and I WILL collaboration with you one day. This isn't fandom speaking, its artistic ambition.
I just love all the references to other songs from the trilogy in this one. I've heard references to Away, Heart, Selenium Forrest, Sweet Nothings and even Other Things, yet to find some that refer to Opening and Tarred and Feathered. Brilliant EP, Plini!
a Tarred reference is in there somewhere. sort of.
needed one from Moonflower. Would've been an epic way to end. Still beyond amazing either way.
Well, Moonflower is not part of the trilogy :P
where are they though? I'm having trouble finding any of them
37megadethfan
Away @2:00
Heart at the very end and also at 13:36 and @14:36
Sweet Nothings,same as the Heart reference @13:36 and @14:36
Selenium Forest at the very beginning,@14:10 and some other places
Other Things I'd say @6:05 but I don't think that one was intentional
Why am I crying lol. So much structure and emotions within his playing! I love this shit!
If I let the videos run, I'm led from the EP to the tracks, to the full album, back to the EP again. A delicious circle!
by the way guys, yes it sounds like old tracks but i get the feeling that this is the whole point. he wanted to include all of his stuff he made during the trilogy as part of the "ending of everything". something like when your whole life passes between your eyes when you are in your last minutes, all of his songs are heard in this last part of the trilogy.
0:00 The most epic intro in the history of music. Fight me.
The very end of Paper Moon made me feel some feels. Brings back all the memories.
Paper Moon is legit the most epic song I've ever heard. Holy shit. It's been almost two years since I discovered Plini, and I still can't get over this song.
Wombat Astronaut is one of the most wonderful compositions I have ever heard.
Paper Moon is perfect!!
The beginning of Paper Moon blows my mind everytime
Ohhh God ! Awesome ending part. Very nice nuggetz from rest of trilogy. Great peace of music. Thank you Plini.
I've had this on in my car on repeat for about 2 months and I'm still not bored. This is pure excellence. Many thanks :D
I do not know how you got Marco to play the drums for you, but I've seen him live countless times, most with The Aristocrats, and he is an absolute monster on the skins. He fits very well with your playing and composition style, for sure. Great album and excellent playing. Conveys and invokes multiple emotions, like true music should. This album has been bookmarked since its debut and I encourage my fellow friends and musicians to, as well. Keep up the great work man
Ive only discovered you guys today, July 19th, 2021. Seeing posts from 6 years ago made me feel sad I have not discovered you sooner :(
Never too late!
Just discovered this artist today! It's so euphoric. It makes me happy.
This feels so good to listen to.
When the Wombat Astronaut appears I always go "awwww" hahahaha
Great job, 10/10! Lovely music ♥
Dude what a story all this tells. The album matched the music dead on. Every object has a piece in the music. instrumental band that can tell a full story. Love it!
This EP is epic! And Marco Minnemann was the perfect choice for laying down those drums. So flawless.
listening to plini during quarantine trying to not go insane
Plini is one of my favorite musicians. He has a way of incorporated styles of every genre into his songs.
This is truly incredible.
The first 30 seconds is indescribably epic.
I'm at the end of Paper Moon, and i'm crying...
"And with this, you will go forth and tour the world." -Plini 3 :10
This EP is just too amazing. I have been playing this on repeat for months now.
I have been missing music like this. Brilliant.
My ears were not ready.
I adore Plini for using technique solely in favor of the melody and the song. I don't even think about what he's doing, just getting lost in the music. I am familiar with Guthrie Govan's work and this way of playing the guitar reminds me of him.
I can only hope this gets the millions of views it rightfully deserves! So damn refreshing to hear REAL music. You've done it again, plini! Amazing work
This is what words can't tell. Plini, just congratulations, you are now one of my favourite musicians.
omg I've been listening to his albums the whole day! hahahaha
2016 already, and still blows me away, just like the very first time I listened to this.
I salute you, good sir!
These are the most beautiful sounds I've ever hear. You sir are a very talented musician.
You're still going to play my birthday this year, right?
Great work, Plini. You never fail to amaze me.
Dropped some acid and watched this whole thing without blinking. Amazing
You did it again Plini.... well done buddy!
Plini awsome stuff as always! Your music is so creative yet you have the same kind of Plini feeling.
This ep is just simply magical. I've listened to plini casually in the past and relly enjoyed it , but now I might be listening religiously. Just wow ! So damn good
This is amazing, such a perfect end to the trilogy! I can't compliment your songwriting and playing enough man :)
So relaxing... almost makes me able to handle the stress of deadlines and stuff :P
Just saw you in Malta. You were really amazing. The music and playing, beyond this world. Your music is a whole voyage without the need of one single word. Great job guys!
I can't tell how amaizing is your work man, there are no words to describe how perfect it is.
This whole EP made me moist like a piece of cake
15:30 how to not only end a song but an album perfectly.
Listened to it for years still makes me feel things like no other piece of art has
Old guy from Hawaii fully appreciating your composition/arrangements and musicianship!!!!! Keep pushing the verge of music, please :)
So hard core yet so relaxing, wow.
