Gravity is Shifting!
After listening to this EP an unnatural amount of times, I can say with the utmost honesty that Selenium Forest may very well be one of my favorite songs ever.
"OTHER THINGS" - my new EP out now for free! (instrumental/guitar/prog/metal/fusion)

ohhh really! which part (time) in both songs? i was definitely trying to channel petrucci's evil riff face while writing that song so that isnt so surprising
haha there wasnt that much thought put into the gaps, initially Heart was going to have a fade out but then i had a mini philosophical crisis and decided i am ethically opposed to fadeouts, so that transition is just the result of a non fade out

Another Sinking ....
The progression that starts after the intro on your piece and the chorus progression for Finally Free remind each other, but they are not the same. The two first chords are the same, the third is somewhat same, but the second half of the progression isn't even near each other. However there are other things (no pun intended) that reminded me of the song. For example the play-a-mid-tempo-melody-on-guitar-low-strings that you do when the second part of the song starts. There's a similar thing on the end of Finally Free.
On the last part of Finally Free there's also the use of harmonic minor, which you're using thorough the whole song. It brings the same kind of dramatic effect to the song and IMO is one of the biggest reasons that they remind each other so much. (Or at least it's major in bringing the effect)

This was great. Wasn't sure what I was going to get, but it was an amazing mix of styles and an even more amazing set of sounds. I really dig the production. It sounds like it was done in a bedroom, though I don't mean that as an insult. It's got more personality and heart than anything I've heard in a long time. Nicely done.
One question. On the bandcamp page you say that it was mixed and then abandoned in March, does that mean there is more and you just didn't put the time into it or that you just didn't want to mess with the mix any more?

neither really, i just dont believe in 'completion' when it comes to art, so i just call march the time i finally went, 'fuck it, this is ready for people to hear' haha

This is the fucking golden age of contemporary music... And you Plini, you'll be one of the greatest of your own. I don't even have words to describe the impact that " Selenium Forest " has on me... To put it simple, i've been through some really bad times, today i've heard your ep, and when the third track came up, it was like perfection to me, man. It made me feel so good about myself and on the same instant i decided that i would finally record my ep. Thank you so much for being an inspiration. =D

haha Eb standard! except Heart acoustics are in an open tuning which you can transcribe from the outro riff (i just play the 12th fret harmonics ascending as the first chord)
dude thank you! this is so much beyond the reaction i expected, so great to hear that

Can't stop listening. I think this and Pastures are easily two of my favourite things to listen to (Pastures has kept that spot since its release). They just make me so happy and nostalgic and magical feeling

Well this is the most perfect thing I've heard in a long time. Buying when I get to my other computer. This is awesome \m/
This reminds me of so many of my favourite things in music, not least Al Di Meola, possibly one of my most idolised guitarists.
Shame he's not produced anything this good really.
Seriously plini this is ridiculous. I insist I add you on facebook or something.
Irritatingly, my second EP was gunna be this feel of prog (in contrast to the spacey, moody stuff I'm in at the moment I mean), but screw following up something like this! I quit!

the number of bands and players i like who i didnt think would ever even know i existed who are sharing it is ridiculous, its so surreal haha
