Plini - Paper Moon (Reaction)

[@Trevor5tone]

To me, this is one of the greatest songs ever. It’s perfect in every way.

[@mikefearon3577]

This was a first time for me too, I've heard of him but never gotten around to listening to anything. 8:44 was my exact reaction too. Excellent video, Jim!

[@MoleculeTwo]

Finally some Plini! You should really check out Flaneur from his new EP "Sunhead". One of the best tracks I've heard in a loooong time. cheers!

[@JimNewstead]

Finally? You should have suggested it sooner!!!

[@vladimirpavlovic9488]

@@JimNewstead Check out David Maxim Micic - Who bit The Moon (song) for more instrumental goodness. In some ways similar to this, but still so different and unique! They toured together!

[@nickicollis593]

The riffs and solo are beautiful! I'd would to see this band live so much.

[@twelvemonkeys8786]

Animals as Leaders, Wave of Babies. Do it Jim.

[@rockonileva]

Nice tô ser Plini getting more and more recognition over the years.. I first listened to Atlas and was completley blown away! And about him being this independent musician, he's such an inspiration for me, as I'm trying to record my first songs and do it independently! One other musician I listened to these days as a KZbin recommendation on a Plini video (and liked a lot) is David Maxim Micic!

[@TheDangerbreed]

Your reaction to this is the best reaction. You have to listen to Plini - Cascade if you love this one.

[@sonny5068]

I saw these guys live in Montréal. They’re absolutely mesmerizing live.

[@6lillium]

The best part about your channel...NEW (to you or us or both) music! It's like having our own little network...

[@JimNewstead]

I know! That's my favourite part too!!!! :)

[@Chinmay987]

Hey Jim! Thanks for the mention! You could try listening to 687 days by David Maxim Micic! 687 days is also the orbit time for Mars btw! You could call that outlandish probably!

[@AllCopsAreBigchungus]

Marco actually played drums on this track if you didn’t know, absolutely incredible music, just found your channel really like it. Finding some good music thanks man!

[@mikefearon3577]

Please listen to David Maxim Micic - Mbinguni Amina It's like Pavarotti and Devin Townsend made a metal opera.

[@rielnotermans]

I suggested Smile a few comments above, but in general I see DMM is not recognised everywhere :) Mbinguni Amina is awesome too, has a more opera feel indeed but hearing it after Smile amazed me how much of Micic you recognise and is uniquem

[@TwoandaHater]

Living Room is a good place to start for his stuff.

[@maciejpiwowarczyk5496]

great band.Going to see them in november with tesseract and BTBAM.JIM I ve got recommendation for you.Try Earthside -A dream in static feat D.Tompkins....or any other song from this album.

[@MrCarlton]

Sounds a lot like the group Modern Day Babylon, maybe you'd like them too! Looking forward to the Protest the Hero reaction vid!

[@Xxmax8maxxX]

Listen to Electric Sunrise by Plini next its so good, then Salt and Charcoal. The sound just keeps opening up. Maybe less energy but boy it takes me places

[@lastofthesanexx]

Yes! Plini is great! Might i also recommend some more instrumental acts such as animals as leaders, angel vivaldi, andy james, and paul wardingham...all excellent. Love your videos, keep it up! Cheers from indianapolis!

[@lastofthesanexx]

And scale the summit!!! Not sure how i forgot those guys, theyre great too lol

[@IgneaBand]

Hello, Jim! Check out this video for reaction: IGNEA - Queen Dies

[@RikeConstanze]

Please react to Within Temptation, they are one of the best symphonic metal bands but have had quite a few different styles over the years. You should check out their following live performances: Enter (from their first album "Enter", 1997): kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2mpgoOcZtN-q7M The Promise (from their album "Mother Earth", 2000): kzbin.info/www/bejne/lYLCnJKdjJ2peqc Angels (from their album "The Silent Force", 2004): kzbin.info/www/bejne/joPaaHx9lLKlgMU Our Solemn Hour (from their album "The Heart of Everything", 2007): kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKubmn6AZrSZe7s + The Reckoning (single from their new album "Resist", 2018): kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHiraYVri9x8aM0

[@memitozv]

Great reaction Jim!! You should try some If These Trees Could Talk... specially an album called The Bones of a Dying World.

[@HalFischer]

Well, subbed. Hm - if you liked Plini, you should check out "Arch Echo" as well as "Sithu Aye". First is an independent Prog-Band from the US and second is a solo-musician from Scotland. All three share a somewhat similar approach in their music-style.

[@WardenOfSouls]

damn that are some talented musicians. I would love if they do stuff like Ayreon. Like getting several awesome vocalists for albums. But even without vocals thats really really good music! I love it

[@JimNewstead]

Ain't that the truth!!!

[@williammann376]

You should make a reaction video for Sun Caged - Ashtamangla (The 8 auspicious symbols). They are a prog metal band and this particular song had a huge influence on me when I first heard it. Also check out DGM - The Secret.

[@garytackett8426]

There's another guy to check out- Gru! The album Cosmogenesis is phenomenal! It's far more space age.. Cheers!

[@stephenhaunch3468]

Not sure which came first. To me, this was like listening to the instrumental passages from Caligulas Horse. Saying that, it was enjoyable.

Just found your channel, you're listening to all my favourites! :D Plini is so great, all his stuff is just brilliant. Check out Who Bit The Moon (the song, but honestly, the whole album) from David Maxim Micic! Saw them play together one time - one of the best nights of my life :)

[@6lillium]

Nicely done. This ones my favorite. AAL are tremendously talented, but for me personally, I find Plini more musical, and melodic, plus there is an actual bassist....so more to my liking....

[@EternalFlow]

If you like prog, you have to listen to Beardfish! some Favorites are: - Until you Comply - A psychic amplifier - Roulette - Harmony Keep the good work going!!! ;)

[@steftones1]

Hi Jim, youre next reaction could be Anekdoten - books of hours. 10 minutes emotional rolercoaster.

[@PanasonicTooth]

Epic song. If you like this stuff you should really do some Animals As Leaders if you havnt heard them before. They're kinda the grand masters and innovators of this new wave of instrumental prog/fusion/metal/djent. Also speaking of Innovators, please add Dillinger Escape Plan to your list!

[@Easy_Skanking]

Try "Song of Solomon" or "Physical Education" from AAL.

[@twelvemonkeys8786]

Took the words out if my mouth

[@JimNewstead]

Hmmm, yes. I am aware of them and know people have been asking for their music. I don't know all their music by a long shot so will have a virtual "dip in the water" and see what's what!!!

[@Easy_Skanking]

They are excellent musicians and the songs are diverse and solidly their own style. Every song is a new flavor.

[@TwoandaHater]

AAL and Plini don't really sound the same. AAL are much heavier and more technical- Plini is more accessible and (IMO) enjoyable.

[@CarlosRodriguez-pv7rq]

well Jim, to me music is Food for the brain, you can choose to eat a Mc burguer(radio) or try more elaborated food (your channel and subs suggestions) :P By the way check Owane if you like Plini, another music beast !!

[@JimNewstead]

Awww, Carlos, you're too kind! I'm merely munching and eating ion the finest restaurant around, I'm not THE restaurant!Glad you're enjoying the channel my friend!

[@R.Nashoba]

Hello Jim, How are you my friend? Recommendation: The Butterfly Effect- Always, This band is an amazing and well respected Australian outfit, Albums: It Begins Here, IMAGO, both masterpieces, Worth some ear abuse 😉 Hope all is well in your neck of the woods, Reece.

[@634983]

Intervals, David maxim micic, Nick Johnston, animals as leaders, Sithu Aye. Similar to this music

[@rielnotermans]

So, I was just waiting for a video to do a recommendation to you... And Plini fits my suggestion. A lot of stuff you post is in my almost daily playlist as well but one is missing: David Maxim Micic. His Bilo 3.0 album is full on youtube but just pick a song... Bilo is a great getting to know DMM. Just check the youtube comments on it. Hope you enjoy as well. Get high expectations :)

[@rielnotermans]

A heck, pick "Smile".

[@JimNewstead]

Thanks for the suggestion.... added! Jim

[@polyamorousgentleman7620]

If you like guitar definitely listen to Frank Zappa, "Willie the Pimp"

[@chessbrainiac]

My favorite Plini track is Cascade, just sayin...

[@skidtheflid6140]

M8 this sounds just like Sithu aye like exactly the same

[@qmiller9]

Sithu Aye and Plini used to jam and collaborate a lot together. They have a really great EP together called "I" (1). Check it out!

[@XIntoxicationalX]

Check out polyphia! O.D., 40 oz. And GOAT are amazing.

[@dregnar85]

I bloody love Plini and Troy Wright the drummer but tbh this song is too choppy and over done to me, hard to catch the groove.

[@Fluxire_Music]

The drummer you hear is Marco Minnemann

[@LeeGion_981]

It's not that I don't like this music but I just find a lot of these instrumental prog/djent bands sound to similar to each other. I can't sit through a whole album, the lack of vocals just makes it difficult for me.

[@mvunit3]

1st time for me as well :). Right off the bat loved the "melody" with all the layers of legato and leads. But . . . I was getting into the bands that came before the "Djent" scene (or before that "title") like; Canvas Solaris, Continuo Renacer, Gordian Knot, Koyaanisqatsy, Bulb, A((wake)), Exivious, Behold... The Arctopus, Chimp Spanner, Cloudkicker, Blotted Science etc. so its hard not to hear that "sound". But this was good, again nice melodies.
