I just realized I've been jamming this album for over 2 years, and have never formally thanked the artists for their work. This is probably one of the best instrumental rock/metal albums I have ever heard, and dare I say it, ever will hear. Thanks, to both of you, Plini and Sithu Aye. You've manufactured a permanent imprint of influence on how I play music, and I am all the better for it.
+Lucas Jenkins Right? I discovered Plini just yesterday, myself, and I will never look at music the same way, again. I downloaded all his EP's and lucky me, then there was this one too!! I cant even believe it. It's tufukkengood
Seven years later, I just realized that David Maxim Micic and Jakub Zytecki also play in this EP and I just love this fact! In Plini's Bandcamp, it says David played the solo on Rupture and Jakub played the solo on Moonrise.
to an extent i agree; but we all know not everyone can enjoy this in the same way we can. i take solace in this being one of the best kept secrets in music altogether, and only people willing to seek it can find it. thats how we find OUR people
10 Years later and still this music is Exquisite! Thanks Plini and Sithu. Please collaborate Again and perhaps there will be peace on earth or in the multiverse.
Every song is beautiful beyond words, but "Rupture" undoubtedly takes the prize. I tell people there is 1 song that when i listen to it can make me cry when im sad and laugh when im happy. Its rupture. It encompasses so many emotions within its melodies that i cannot define. Its love and joy and so much more. Thanks Plini.
This is my favorite collaboration in prog music, I still think that it's their best job so far, Plini got a lot of feeling or touch for his music and C2Aye got mad energy and dynamics, and both are really skilled, even this is an some kind of early work you can hear they both did their best, I absolute love this work
I'm always listening to this when I'm on the bus. It's as if the trip becomes 10x shorter! I can't wait for these two gods to come back and make a part 2 of this EP called U.... ;)
I listen to this almost every single day. It is a great album to program to - it motivates and gets the creative juices flowing. I feel like Rocky running up the steps and dragon kicking a baby.
It's music like this that makes life worth living. I love it more than I've ever loved a woman. I love it more than I love myself! Thanks for teaming up and creating such wonderful music Plini and Sithu!!! You guys are the shiznit!
Without exaggeration, I am VERY sure I have been waiting a few years to hear 17:43-18:36. That is by far my favorite chord progression, my favorite atmosphere, my favorite instrument voicing. Everything about that section is just about perfect to me. Sithu Aye has mastered the bridge I have been dreaming about for years. I'm actually kind of jealous I didn't write it first haha. Pure bliss.
Man i love that funk run at 12:07!!! This is all pure gold, amazing production. I'm also diggin the choppy-electronic ending of the album with that nostalgic melody!
The last minute of Solstice really reminded me of Happiness-era Dance Gavin Dance. Loved both guitarists for years and didn’t find out until now that they released something together.
Solstice has to be my favorite. I love the funky grove it has. Plini and Sithu Aye work so well together, and they are both equally talented. I definitely have to give this one to Sithu Aye though. xD
cant stop listening to plini and sithu aye. these guys soothe something inside.... on the other hand i feel neural activity ive never experienced so far (ok well devin townsend does that too heh). im so thankful living in an era of such tremendous guitar music!
I think it's one of the string-skipping hammer-on-from-nowhere tapping licks that have been really popular lately. Start an arpeggio or triad on the G, end with a tapped note, hammer onto the high e, do some more crazy tapping stuff.
From 11:04 my brain turns into mincemeat You know fuck it, The whole EP's amazing. Just listen to all of, don't waste your time hearing any specific suggestions.
can't believe it's been almost 2 years since this was released already, time is going by too fast.. hurry up and re-fuckulate the time parameters so we can slow down time to create infinite albums
+420protoman Re-fuckulate eh? Does someone watch Trailer Park Boys or did you think of that randomly? Haha, apologies if not, I just know it's in that show so I had to ask.
I’m still sad that I can’t get this anywhere to buy 😭 If anyone knows where I can add it to my music and listen while I’m driving- I hate driving with TH-cam 😂
The passage at 2:25 is quite similar to the song "Transcient Transistors" by Sithu Aye around 1:54, that's in fact exactly the same chords progression. Is this intended ?
2:52 the Plini breakdown we all miss. I wish he made more music like Orm.
this whole album is literally sex
how can you do that when there is no cd form of this? lol
download from bandcamp, burn onto blank cd, sexy time
arrestedshrimp
I have about 80 physicals of the split sitting in my room, just waiting for new homes :D
@@SithuAye how many do you have left now?
said like a true prog fan

Lucas Jenkins seriously alot of these solo artists have moved my soul to be better in so many ways.. its unreal.. Cheerz
Well put my friend.
+Lucas Jenkins Right? I discovered Plini just yesterday, myself, and I will never look at music the same way, again. I downloaded all his EP's and lucky me, then there was this one too!! I cant even believe it. It's tufukkengood
Well said! This has redefined "Excellence" for me.
THROWBACK TO A GOOD COMMENT! Thanks for pitching in everyone :)

@@gothvampkid3444 Amen 🙏
This song hit me harder than the girl I recently asked out.
Masterpiece. LOL been listening for so many years now.
i love plinis main theme at 2:40.... its so cool how he restates that in songs. love it
That first song...
If I was God, I would first create that song. Then listen to it again and again while I created the rest of the universe.
Maybe he did. ;)
HAHAHAHA YEAHH, sorry im write fast hahaha, enjoy the beautiful album, fuck the first song of sithu aye is orgasmic
hahaha wtf dat comment? xD
Varun Ram Probably the greatest compliment to a band I've ever heard
Anthony Guardalabene If god existed.
Plithu/Sitini
10 Years later and still this music is Exquisite! Thanks Plini and Sithu. Please collaborate Again and perhaps there will be peace on earth or in the multiverse.
great collapse, it's my yearly visits
Unmatched EP, wish more people that are fans of both knew about this
00:00 Plini - Orm
04:21 Plini - Rupture

I believe its their best work too
Couldn’t agree more. This entire album is a masterpiece and my favorite era of these amazing musicians
@@Dagnus284 Dude yes, this a genuinely sick EP. The last records from Plini are some of the best music Ive ever heard though... gotta love them!
My favorite work by either of them as well!
Thanks for healing my neurons :)
***** not weed but alcohol
2:40 I think that i never loved a girl like that melody
FinallyHaveaNick which originates from the tune Plini - Selenium Forest :)
***** Exactly... i follow Plini's works and i think he have a lot of style and a great potential
Those chills you get listening to this are apparently your brain releasing dopamine: www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v14/n2/full/nn.2726.html
Now i can explain my addiction!
it's from album Plini - Sweet Nothings - 01 Opening
I'm always listening to this when I'm on the bus. It's as if the trip becomes 10x shorter! I can't wait for these two gods to come back and make a part 2 of this EP called U.... ;)
I listen to this almost every single day. It is a great album to program to - it motivates and gets the creative juices flowing. I feel like Rocky running up the steps and dragon kicking a baby.

Pure bliss.
That section is actually really common in a lot of their songs, see: Selenium Forest, Opening
i was listening to this album when i got my first apartment... how we've come so far
By the gods........how is this so good? You guys are just the best. Maybe you win youtube? Keep making me smile. Cheers from CT.
If you're listening to this in 2021 just remember that you have a really good taste.
Oh I know. Just wish sithu would get back to streaming writing sessions.
looove the reference to sweet nothings on the first track!! it's not fair how amazing these two are
2:38 sorta sounds like Opening from Sweet Nothings..love that EP
Aneesh it has to be like an ode to it or something
@@screamotraplord yeah plini threw that in. Its the same melody just in a different key, he interludes this in a few different songs.
That was his whole thing with the trilogy eps. It’s cool it’s in this ep also. Paper moon has all the themes in one track.
@@austinmaynard9663 it’s in the last song too (moonrise)
How have I not heard this before today?! I know both artists, but didn't know this EP existed. Fantastic!
Bryce Walburn its a classic for sure
Everyone who likes this music should buy it. Can't beat name your price, and it just feels so much better to own the mp3s :)
+lightmobile Better yet, on Bandcamp you can download HQ formats too, not just .mp3s. These mixes sound awesome on a living room setup!
*4:21** Rupture - just rips so badly right from beginning! We like it much!*
plini and Sithu Aye are sick man, I keep coming back to this album! I wish that Sithu Aye or Plini would come to Birmingham, UK
Plini is the KING of embellishing and expanding a melody in a solo. Fucking insane.
INSANE I TELL YOU
I love how Plini makes new ideas out of some of his own musical themes, as in Orm.
Goosebumps every time going into 2:09
The solos starting at 5:11 and then the transition at 5:49 are mind blowing.
0 words, and yet it's this kind of music that speaks to me the most
i love that these two geniuses have rubbed off on each other in the most influential way possible for this collab. literally peanut butter and jelly
Man i love that funk run at 12:07!!! This is all pure gold, amazing production. I'm also diggin the choppy-electronic ending of the album with that nostalgic melody!
Im still loving this in 2022 :')
I've had this EP for over a year, and it never gets old.
The last minute of Solstice really reminded me of Happiness-era Dance Gavin Dance. Loved both guitarists for years and didn’t find out until now that they released something together.
Around 12:18 reminds me so much of "F.C.P.R.E.M.I.X." by The Fall of Troy. I love it!
Nice catch! Didn't notice it until you mentioned it.
HOLY CRAP I JUST LOGGED BACK INTO THIS ACC FROM 100 YEARS AGO AND FOUND THIS IN SAVED VIDS!!!! I AM SO HAPPY
opening, selinium forest, and orm is my favorite song trilogy
Solstice has to be my favorite. I love the funky grove it has. Plini and Sithu Aye work so well together, and they are both equally talented. I definitely have to give this one to Sithu Aye though. xD
This songs of plini are my favourite, can´t get enough
I mixed my reading with this upload, great stuff, this guy deserves all the fans he has gathered.
Spiritually liberating. I've been healed!!!!
The tones these fine gentleman have are so hypnotic.
djentlemen*
This is awesome! So much quality, I could listen to this all day
I thought they were amazing by themselves, but put them together and even more amazing.
7:12 reminds me so much of The Great Plains by Scale the Summit.
ive always wondered if those riffs were inspired by STS. Intervals is also similar in some of their solos, in my opinion anyway.
dat groove... dem feels
such confidence... much power
WOW
cant stop listening to plini and sithu aye. these guys soothe something inside.... on the other hand i feel neural activity ive never experienced so far (ok well devin townsend does that too heh). im so thankful living in an era of such tremendous guitar music!
2020 and I’m still here. Been listening since upload.
Out of the four of these, my favorite is easily "Moonrise"
I don't know how it is just possible... The best 20 minutes of music i've ever hear.
Thanks!
It's more then music. It's an experience of the mind and heart. Love it.
Man, Plini does love that little melody from Opening...
BUT WHO CARES THIS IS A FUCKING AMAZING EP
same
+qgloafhun Its like his trademark... Think of it as his signature on his music, lol its a nice melody, but he could switch up now and again
This was an awesome collaboration guys.
oh man the brightness of them single coils coming through heavily in sithu aye's songs...
OMG. Rupture. Can't stop listening. Such an epic song.
Big fan of both Plini and Sithu Aye, not sure how I haven't heard od this album until now!
Man these two have been my favorites for so long and I just discovered this.
why isn't it on Spotify !!! ???? 😭😭
Its Perfect, Thank You
This album is brilliant! So passionate and intelligent and heartfelt i feel the power of it all throughout my mind and body
How is the fluttering effect done on guitar from 5:27 to 5:33 ? Anyone know the name of this at least?
I think it's one of the string-skipping hammer-on-from-nowhere tapping licks that have been really popular lately. Start an arpeggio or triad on the G, end with a tapped note, hammer onto the high e, do some more crazy tapping stuff.
he isn't talking about the riff itself he's talking about that really fast whammy like effect on the notes
Old comment I know but you use a tremolo bar for that effect - you basically just flick the bar so it vibrates the strings a little
@@pooty195 also in response with this finale by polyphia uses this technique a lot, if you haven't heard it already
This is such an inspiration to me! Your work is some of the finest out there. I thoroughly enjoy this album almost daily.
Some of the licks out of this EP give you goosebumps. Great musicianship
My god the first 2 minutes of Solstice blows me away every time.
8:54 is my favorite part of this album
First time heating Rupture my brain got literally fried processing the tone and skills and the scale he was using all at once
Wow you guys are amazing!! just found your Music and am truly loving it.Just bought a heap of it and love it allThanks for your amazing talents.
From 11:04 my brain turns into mincemeat
You know fuck it, The whole EP's amazing. Just listen to all of, don't waste your time hearing any specific suggestions.
11:33
+macaron3141592653 2 years, now I'm sure this is the best work from EITHER Of them. HANDS DOWN
I love when people repy to their comments years later, lol. Makes me wonder how much the world has changed despite the music being the same.
still incredible
mincemeat is not actually meat
can't believe it's been almost 2 years since this was released already, time is going by too fast.. hurry up and re-fuckulate the time parameters so we can slow down time to create infinite albums
how time flies!
+420protoman Re-fuckulate eh? Does someone watch Trailer Park Boys or did you think of that randomly? Haha, apologies if not, I just know it's in that show so I had to ask.
+420protoman Deff need some space weed when listening to this eh ;)
+Kelo Watt ...was just watching tpb.... hahaha
+420protoman You guys can't even play space right...smh
8 seconds in and had to click like. 30 seconds in had to favorite
beautiful EP. very diverse in its sonic range.
Why isn't this album uploaded in spotify ?
Love this opening so much. Reminds me of sikth
these Guys are awesome. Love their music.
I’m still sad that I can’t get this anywhere to buy 😭 If anyone knows where I can add it to my music and listen while I’m driving- I hate driving with TH-cam 😂

Great album man, thanks for uploading
this is quite amazing...
too incredible to be this underrated
music like these makes life more beautiful
I hear a lot of Tony MacAlpine in this stuff. I dig it.
Alex Becker (of all people!) led me to finding this.
And I love it :)
I would LOVE a band playthrough on this !
best collab ever!
plini and sithu working together holy shit
15:45 hit me hard as hell
Le Mar me too man it gives me goosebumps
Solstice is PURE EARGASM
OMFG THIS IS SO AWSOME congrats keep the good job!
great!!! as always!!!!
Anup sastry needs to be drumming on this ep
Yeeaaaahh
+iPlayDrums That ABR profile pic though.....
This is good, great guitar sounds :)
This is REALLY cool!

My pineal gland will open with this stuff yeah.\,,,/
