The metal breakdown into quiet dissonant solo transition provided my brain with a considerable amount of serotonin

[@ithielgermainrivas.7567]

It's kind of a bipolar feeling, being a bug turning into a butterfly and then comes the fight to survive, the daily struggle to live that encompases al forms of live but this time has breakdowns and jazz progresions, sweet.

[@DavidLasoff]

Rick Beato turned me onto Plini. This piece is sublime, moving, melodic, and cutting the edge of somewhere, somehow into something not only different and new but quite natural as well. Like Steve Howe and Larry Carlton, his style lifts me up. Plini's play is beyond mere excellent instrumentality. He brings me back in time, taking off from a sound I haven't quite heard since Jeff Beck's extraordinary albums, Blow by Blow and Freeway Jam in the mid-1970s. Plini is a virtuoso in every sense. I listened to this work three times in a row and on the third, I got the feeling that HE is the butterfly emerging from the chrysalis and the locust storm that's coming.

[@thatanti-egoguy]

Damn dude, that's deep..., and I couldn't agree more

[@twowongs8266]

I'm with you there (same vintage as you I think)

After that end, the song that follows this is going to be mean as.

I doubt it. The song after is called "Perfume" and by that title alone I can tell it's going to be some good jazzy shit over there.

One of the most solid lowend mixes I've ever heard, honestly. Incredibly deep and tactile lowend feel and just a great overall composition.

[@jacobmiller5965]

Highkey this might be my favorite plini track yet. Everything about this hits so right to me. The solo is one of his most expressive, but the song is probably one of his heaviest tracks at the same time. Super unique vibes

[@Rkiser0592]

he is aging well, musically I mean...NO idea how old he is...looks good physically as well tbh. A lot of other bands really have grown stale to me personally, plini has NEVER let me down and I think with this iteration (simon grove plini chris allison and I also think...jakub zyteki) will make some of the most ground breaking progressive fusion we've ever heard.

[@alwan1414]

For those who doesn't know, Papelillo means "little paper" in spanish. Also is a common word when you are referring to roll a marijuana cigarette with a little paper

[@lv-lennard]

Exacto

[@diegosolis9681]

It's also the name of a plant, and how certain countries from latin america refer to a specific species of bees.
