This the latest five track EP from one of the most prolific musicians around today, Plini. There is such a thriving progressive music scene in Australia, I may just have to emigrate.

The word fusion gets thrown out whenever Plini releases any new music and with opener The Red Fox that is what immediately springs to my mind. There seem to be two differing time signatures going at once, with the bass and hi hat following one path and the kick and snare following the other, and Plini soars over the top. Beautiful piece!

Five Days Of Rain is a deceptively chill song that musically captures the title perfectly, with heavier bursts to describe the more stormy aspects. Very clever track! Still Life is another killer sonic masterpiece with an awesome groove that goes really low to wake up your internal organs with an added bonus of Tosin Abasi lending a solo.

Aqua Vista starts with that heavy low end bass and the guitar soundscape is sooo spacey. I love the guitar on this one and it is my favourite tune of the record. The EP comes to an end so quickly with Ember. There is quite an upbeat vibe to this piece with almost folk guitar runs played underneath that heavy groove.

I’m a massive lover of instrument music and when it’s played and written as well as this there is nothing better.

10/10 from The Grooveman.
