I plan on conducting further research on the effects of Sithu Aye's music on enhanced neural pathways and connections specifically in the temporal and frontal lobes. After some preliminary controlled experiments, subjects were given Sithu Aye's album Cassini to listen to for approximately 40 minutes every other day for a period of one month. 70-80% of subjects experienced an improvement of short-term memory, improved abstract thought, higher scores on academic exams, and higher scores on mental stability evaluations. To conclude, after ruling out any other possible extraneous factors in the experiment and with a 3% margin of error, there is a high correlation between listening to Sithu Aye's music and improved brain function. So keep listening you guys and thank you Sithu Aye for your amazing music!

Started from Animals as Leaders, now I hear this. Awesome!

Messenger is so fucking groovy! I can't get over it.

i was amazed the first time i heard this at 15 years old, i am still amazed at 22, this is so musical

Regarding my earlier comment, I would like to thank everyone for their interest in my scientific study regarding the positive correlation between listening to Sithu Aye's music and improved brain function. I am excited to announce that my experiments have been peer reviewed and soon my findings will be released and published in the April issue in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience. All joking aside, keep listening to Sithu Aye. I'm sure it really will improve brain function ;)

Composition is just fantastic, amazing release Sithu!

I've been looking for this for over a year an a half! it sounds so nostalgic.. oh senior year memories. I'm glad I found it again holy crap

Throughout all the prog/metal stuff I've ever heard this may actually be the BEST FUCKING STUFF I'VE HEARD IN MY LIFE

That solo on shiny might be the best thing I've ever heard

17:14 gives me the fucking chills wtf.. that fucking transition. I need more of whatever that is

My god I love this album so much. I use it for everything from writing reports and essays, to running and lifting; just does the trick. Awesome power behind every note.

This is just so good, I can't believe it. Gonna burn my guitar now...

For someone whose whole life got teached to reject mundane existence and see everything as a moral dilemma your music allowed me to discover the unique value of our cosmos on my own accord, you gave me hope for endless posibilities were before I could only see a rigged punishing system, you gave me courage to believe in a better world not because the rewarding promise of some immaterial promised land but because my heart tells me if humans can create melodies such as yours then they deserve a chance to live well and right.

I am so surprised! Listining to the first track now with a smile. Digged your other EP's, but this seems really immense so far!

Sithu, Plini, Chon. That's alls I'm sayin.

great wall of china this is very delicious sounding

Sithu Aye is my guilty pleasure, and man... am I proud of it ;)!

Amazing! couldn't expect anything better than that ! Amazing playing/production/tone !

Still my favorite album of yours forever and always

This must be what it sounds like in heaven.

Possibly my favourite recording ever. Keep going back to the well over and over and over again

Most of the tunes on here, I get an anime vibe from it. Well made tunes. These can most certainly be used for an OST for some anime. I can see it.

Awesome as always!

Messenger Music video idea! PART 2 Warning: This may be a little long. 1:27-1:28 (The subway! Split screen. The two find a subway or tunnel--preferably underground so their's stairs at the entrance. They're basically on different entrances of the same subway/tunnel) 1:29 (Split screen. They hurriedly enter the subway with the first strum of the new rhythm) 1:30-1:37 (No split screen. Montage of the two protags walking in a fast pace through the tunnel. Camera alternates between the two. Their expressions are that of relief--from the rain-- and "I'm wet. Sigh". Maybe include a frame or two where the man brushes his wet hair back. This is a dynamic scene, camera follows their walk closely. People pass by the camera and the characters in a blur. Guy removes his wet jacket blabla. Spoiler alert! They're walking towards each other) 1:38-1:40 (Whole screen on guy. Guy slowly notices the woman in the crowd. They're maybe 3-4 meters apart. Camera on woman as she then notices the guy. In this scene, the camera could be behind the character's head. Last part is split screen--woman on left, man on right--showing the two in side view, whole body. They're looking at each other, sort of fascinated, intrigued) 1:41 (Whole screen on guy. As the 3 quick guitar strokes enter, the camera "plunges" into the guy's chest-- I imagine this scene to be like the one in X-Men first class, when Xavier goes into the mind of a Russian soldier--to show his heart) 1:42-1:46 (Scene becomes a cartoon. His heart beats faster and sparks/firework thingies shoot from his heart. He's in love for crying out loud! The camera could move around a bit. This could also be like a psychedelic, surreal scene) 1:46- (Camera exits guys chest. Time for the woman's heart. Camera plunges into woman's chest to show the heart--same camera movement as in 1:41) 1:47-1:53 (Same scene with the guy's heart. Cartoony. Maybe with flowers this time. She's in love) 1:54-1:57 (Camera zooms out. Back to normal. Not cartoon. Show the two characters still standing in their places looking at each other. They smile gradually at each other) 1:58-2:01 (They resume walking, but still maintain awareness of each other. They look once more, shyly) 2:00-2:03 (They've passed each other. Camera is in front of woman's face. She's smiling, chuckling. We can see the guy's back on the background. He's tall, by the way. Then camera is on guy's face. He' chuckling and shaking his head. Girls back on background) 2:04-2:06 (Camera quickly zooms out of the subway, showing a close aerial shot of the city. it's still raining) 2:07-2:16 (Show various parts of the city. It's raining quite heavily. Screen occasionally splits into comic-like sections. Imagine Hulk movie--Eric Bana) 2:16 (Fade to black) 2:18-2:30 (Night scene. Just show aerials of the city. A few streets and alleys perhaps) 2:30-2:33 (Split screen. Right side is blank. Left side shows the woman walking) 2:34-2:42 (Still split. Left side scene continues. Right panel now also active. Show man sitting in a train) 2:43-2:53(Right panel pushes the left one outside the screen. Now it's whole. Scene of the guy getting out of the train and walking through and then out the subway) 2:54-3:04 (New horizontal panel cuts through the middle screen. A few others follow above and below. Screen whole again. Scene of woman walking through the dark streets of the city. She walks by a couple of men. They stare and then follow her from afar) 3:05-3:06 (Woman notices she is being followed. Her expression is fear) 3:07-3:33 (Woman runs away from the creeps. Chase scene with comic transitions and dynamic camera angles) 3:34-3:43 (New scene. Guy protagonist is walking) 3:44-3:53 (He notices the commotion from afar and realizes that a couple of guys are chasing a woman. He pursues them cautiously) 3:53-3:54 (Woman and creeps are in an alley. Guy arrives shortly to see the woman being harassed) 3:55-3:56 (Camera focused on guy. He's by the entrance to the alley. We see his silhouette and long shadow cast upon the floor. Imagine a "have no fear, for I am here" scene) 3:57-4:20 (Guy sprints towards the creeps, and a very awesome fight scene ensues. Dramatic and dynamic camera angles) 4:21-4:22 (He's grabbing the last creep by the collar--the creep's feet are off the ground. Yeah, the protag's tall. 6'2" maybe. Then he drops the creep to the ground. Th drop should go in sync with the snare beat on 4:22) 4:23-4:33 (Camera is behind guys head. We can see in the background the woman on her knees, but sitting on her feet--I hope I'm making sense. She's staring at the floor. She's still traumatized, and sobbing. Guy approaches her and comforts her. She finally looks up and is shows signs of relief. The guy holds her hand and helps her stand up) 4:34-4:45 (The woman, still holding the man's hand runs towards the street, as if eager to escape the alley. Guy, of course, has no choice but to follow. He smiles and is glad that the woman is back up on her feet, literally and figuratively. They run towards the docks, where we can see the bay. Camera here should reflect the excited and eager atmosphere of the two characters. So the city could be a blur as they run past buildings, cars, people, etc) 4:45-4:55 (They stop to catch their breaths. The lake is beautiful. They're still in the city, mind you. But it's dawns so there's a few people around. They look at the lake and the brightening horizon. Sun's almost up) 4:56 (They look at each other, smiling shyly) 4:57 (Camera zooms out in a stuttered manner, in sync with the loud guitar--the 3 strums. We see the two love birds and the lake in front of them, plus two mountains on the other side of the lake) 4:58-5:04 (Camera is back on the two. Show their faces alternately. They're looking at each other, in a romantic way. Guy combs the woman's hair behind her ear. She smiles. They hug tightly. Almost like, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you) 5:05-5:20 (Camera zooms out to same view in 4:57, but goes farther. It's brighter now, but not that much. Finally, we can see the sun peeking behind the mountains on the other side of the lake) 5:20-5:22 (Screen fades slowly to black) 5:23-5:24 (Fade in from black. Closeup on woman's face. She's sleeping on her bed. Sunlight is on her face) 5:24-5:25 (Same as previous scene, but this time, focused on guy) 5:26-5:29 (Split screen. We see the same alarm clocks from the beginning of the video. Camera slowly zooms out) ENDINGS! #1 5:29 onwards (Split screen, basically same scene as in 0:01. The two wake up to the sound of their alarms. They look confused until they realize all of that was just a dream. Slowly fade to black) #2 5:29 onwards (Split screen. As the camera continues to zoom out from the alarm clocks, we realize that they're placed on opposite sides of the same bed. The split in the screen eventually disappears as we see the two protagonists lying together-man on his back-woman's head on his chest. Fade out slowly to black. I seriously am in love with this song! Great work Sithu! I'm no director, and just typed, for hours, what I imagined as this song plays. I hope you like it. And if there's someone out there, one with skills and equipment, make my dream video come true?
