the best of music

It’s 2022 and this project is still on of the best lineups ever….

Listen to that fucking polyrhythm at 15:15 - 6 bars of 4/4 with the hi-hat keeping a steady group of 4, the ride playing in groups of 3, the bass playing in groups of 5 (corresponding with the fifths on the rhythm guitar), and the snare playing in groups of 7 (corresponding with the minor seconds). it would take 35 bars for the 5 + 7 polyrhythm to cycle uninterrupted so it gets cut short after 6 bars (hence the jagged sound). A polyrhythm of 3, 4, 5 and 7 is super brave though, I get off on this shit. PR0GreZZivE!

How many if these views are just the same 1000 people listening to this album over and over again like me?

Wooooo

Still listening in 2021. Never too late to make another album! Congrats on 1 million views!!

7 years later and this is still one of the best albums I've ever heard

I fucking can't stop listening to this BAND!!!!!!!!!!! Damn you guys are fucking good. PLEASE come to Saint Louis some day. I will bring the masses. You will thank me... ;)

it's almost 2024, and this is still the best instrumental EP to ever exist.

I was listening to Plini when suddenly the automatic youtube reproduction did it's miracle

2056 and it s still one of the best instrumental albums i ve ever heard. Not only technical skills are on another level, but rythm, note choice, composition... Everything is perfect here

Holy shit.I just wanted a break from death metal and i found this masterpiece.Really bands such as Plini,scale the summit, persefone, animals as leaders and the helix nebula are out of this world!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS F*CKIN' AWSOME. WE WANT ANOTHER ALBUM. PLEASE.

I listen to this, literally, everyday

Damn where has this been hiding!! Absolutely in love!!

This is so nutritious, I've skipped my meals today.

No idea how on earth you guys compose this. After a hundred playthroughs, it still keeps getting better on every single listen. To this day I'm looking for pieces of my shattered and blown mind.

What a lucky click.

Crystal Plains is an exceptional piece of music

Jesus Christ! playing Destiny while listening to THIS is freaking mind-blowing!

0:00 Sea of Suns 5:43 Temple 9:31 Convalescence 12:47 Time Piece 16:50 Sailing Stone (feat. Plini) 22:19 Crystal Plains

My face melts and I forget all of my troubles ***every*** time I listen to this. DREAM BILLING / TOUR: Meridian, Tesseract, Plini, The Contortionist, Haken, and Twelve Foot Ninja. PLEASE, GOD. Make it come true...

Man, that solo that rips through at the beginning of Sea of Suns (0:47) sounds fucking amazing! Sounds like it could cut through anything, yet it's also really smooth. Mixed to perfection.

i guess im half a decade behind. this is great.

Hey guys, I love this kind of music. Thanks Plini for showing me, from a musician to another. This is insanely good

This needs to go on Spotify ASAP, guys

I found this album around the time my mother passed. You guys have no idea what this album means to me. To me each note memorializes a moment in time. Each song is an emotion of mine. Your art has the meaning that you made it with. And it has the meaning that my heart feels when it's played. Thank you for this incredible masterpiece and I hope that you read my comment and know how much your music means to me.

This a serious musical work, by any standard.

I just came here to say we need another album of this.

I'm only 11 minutes in and I don't even have to listen to the rest of this to make this comment, this is some next level shredding. I think when this EP ends, I'm going to have to listen to it again. And then probably another time. Fuck this is so fucking funky.

OMG it's already 2022 and I've just discovered this gem, killer EP

Yeah, Simon, look. Please live the rest of your life knowing you made one of the greatest albums of all time. Everyone involved in this project should be extremely proud even after all these years.

people saying this sounds like a million other bands... a million other bands fucking wish they could sound like this. in terms of aesthetic, ofc a bunch of bands sound like this. but in terms of excecution these guys are on top.

i love how its really breakdown-y, but super musical and crazy ass weird rhythm

This album makes me want to sit on the end of a cliff overlooking the ocean with a joint and forget the world exists

this Album was so refreshing to me my god. I found them just in time because I was getting really tired of the brutal metal screaming, clean parts, techno interludes formula with a hint of progressive that alot of djent bands are doing right now, like ERRA, Periphery, and Born of Osiris. and I'm definitely over anything core like breakdowns, constant chugging, and in your face double-bass like Breakdown of Sanity. This was like a breath of fresh air, no screaming no brutalness, just insanely beautiful progressive creative music that feels intense without trying so damn hard and screaming into my ear the whole time. everytime I listen to a new band that screams super hard, then cue the clean vocals, then a techno interlude starts, i just sigh and roll my eyes like ugh I've heard this a hundred thousand times. but I love this fucking band its so mature and technically proficient yet beautiful and mesmerizing. 10/10

This is musical enlightenment!

i love how at 3:22 the band's just like "hey everyone ... we're djent!" for 10 seconds

Recently heard of these guys and I'm so hooked. Plini and Sithu Aye brought me here.

every few seconds a new spurt of laughter bursts forth from me just due to sheer amazement.... Kids younger then me wee self are playing this... This tumultuous, deliquesced symphony that just disintegrates into so many individual, microcosmic level, pieces that just sail so superfluously yet essential to the groove... just everything all the time is turnt the fuck up EPICALLY ALL THE TIME.

Just discovered. Realized that this is fucking wonderful after only 30 seconds. More precisely this is EXACTLY the kind of stuff I was looking for these days ^^' I'm so happy with the direction that djent is taking, with so many awesome progressive bands coming out here and there. Feels like we're back to the sixites but with the nowadays sounds.

Walking among giants here. This is up there with AAL self titled for best heavy instrumental album ever.

every single detail, every detail on the pocket, every fill you hear, every vibe on this, the vision you have i can bring out. i turn music like this into my woven web.

2024 and this still checks out

one of the best instrumental bands out there

Loving every second of this.

The ultimate sleepier album! these guys should have won so many awards for this effort. Its one of the great bummers in life the music industry is so lame and only worries about sales and money. Love this band hope they put out another album

I've been searching through instrumental prog for awhile, really loving these hidden gems, but this band is by far the best thing I have ever heard, and I'm talking all music.

Congratulations on 1 million views on this exhilarating EP !

Animals as leaders were one of my favorite bands. Then I heard this...

" Sailing Stone" seals it for me . amazing !

Fantastic! Looking forward to future releases.

This EP is beautiful guys. Been waiting a long time for this one.

I must say fantastic bass playing! Awsome EP!

absolutely epic. Keep listening to this over and over. ..

This album is so great, hearing in loop, thank you for that guys.

This is highly progressively djently, incredibly and awesomely insane! Kudos on the members for such passion with the song. Show those dudes in polyphia how you put feeling in a song!

Fuck my neurons this is some fresh shit.

I can't wait for your next work. I've listened to this EP one too many times

Instantly in love with this.

Wow. I'm left speechless. I didn't really get in to the instrumental world until very recently, but this is absolutely incredible. Thank you KZfaq for suggesting this to me off of the TesseracT stream of Polaris.

The best 27:50 minutes (x15) on my youtube playlist! Please, some of us wanna hear more of your awesome art, so where's the next EP?

God I remember finding The Helix Nebula and falling in love with a Temple playthrough video about 10 years ago. Gave me chills to hear it again, a little different but it's all still there. Beautiful

Love this new type of prog music where it's not completely dependent on 7-8 string guitars.

This EP is beyond SICK. Excellent work to "The Helix Nebula"

Insane musicianship

I've been searching for new music recently and am so glad that I stumbled upon you guys. you are truly doing amazing things with your music and I most sincerely cannot wait to hear more from you.

I love the way this feels

Thankyou THN so much for making such amazing creative music, I keep listening to this over and over again, its truly inspiring. all of you have a very bright future ahead of you!!!

that vibe at 20:40 isfucking SICKENIING. learned alot of this album note for fucking note baby cant wait to show the homies over at the side project helix. fucking love this album

Immediately bought off Bandcamp. This EP is absolutely incredible. I'm so glad Plini posted Sea of Suns on his facebook.

THANK YOU KZfaq AUTO PLAY! , this is amaze ballz.... 2 mins in and Im sure Im listening through and buying the album, excellent.

This shit bumps so hard. Fuck yeah those melodies

I want to thank youtube for putting those suggestions over there on the right. Sure, sometimes they're a little weird but often they lead to amazing discoveries. I started the day looking to see what Tony Levin had done outside of King Crimson and that led me to Liquid Tension Experiment. Then the right hand column led me to Animals as Leaders and then on to The Helix Nebula. So I didn't get any chores done on this Saturday but I discovered three great bands. I have a feeling the chores aren't going to get done tomorrow either.

This music is incredible! Love it.

The fade in @3:06 is the greatest thing i've ever heard

Still one of my favorite things ever

This is like if Polyphia weren't so damn happy all the time.

Wow! Thank you so much for this! My ears perked up like a standing ovation. Bravo!

I am delighted to have found this gem of an album!!!!!!! SO SICK!

The last song is the best.

among this wave progressive bands that sound almost identical i found something somewhat more interesting in you guys. here's a wholehearted upvote and i'll be on the lookout

Great technique and sound. It's always good to hear new and innovative bands!

Temple is making my soul move in every direction simultaneously. Thank you for this.

there is still nothing in the instrumental prog world that can keep up with this album

2019 and I just now heard this. Why?

The outro of Temple is brilliant. Just like the EP in a whole.

That bass solo @ 4:17 is one of the best things I've ever heard.

Astraeus, The Helix Nebula, there's a new Anup Sastry to come... Nice way to end the year. And the starting was not bad with AAL and Intervals. Nice prog' year :D

Amazing EP! Really would dig some tabs, just saying would happily even purchase a tab book for this EP....

It's been a while since I've listened to something this technical and epic. Admire the passion in this

Awesome guys, really great! I love this kind of vibe

This reminds me a lot of the Terraforming album by Wide Eyes.

For a debut album, technique-wise this is bloody impressive. There are established professionals who should perhaps feel humbled by it. I really look forward to where this band is headed. I just wish the sound had a bit more soul to it. it doesn't seem to carry a message of any kind, it's just fancy for fancy sake, so it comes off as a bunch of completely face-melting, but ultimately disjunct segments. Crystal Plains doesn't seem to exhibit this nearly as much though. It seems to have a pretty clear idea who it is and where it's going. So that's good. That's showing promise. Again, really looking forward to seeing where you're headed.

This is still one of my favorite albums ever. The composition, and even more, the MIX. I love this all so much.

Marvellous! One of the best albums ever.

how can humans even do this

NEED MORE PLS GUYS

Most satisfying bend in all music ever at 26:50

Amazing! Buying as soon the paycheck comes in. Been waiting for this one. You guys are absolutely unstoppable.
