"I'll tell you someday" always brings so many feelings, my mother told me she had cancer around the time it was released. I couldn't help but listen to it on repeat. She has since recovered and is doing well. However, the song still means a lot to me as a point when words alone couldn't speak my feelings. Thank you Plini.

That is a special song and plini’s best overall song imo. It has a special something to that song. The mix, the playing, and the writing for each instrument, it’s all top shelf stuff. So emotional and powerful and paints a beautiful picture whatever picture you choose it to be in your head and imagination and the melodies and sounds are positive and hopeful. Plini basically showed us the picture it paints in his head with the video he put out for that song, it’s a playthrough but has so many beautiful artistic elements to it and surrea lighting like he’s dreaming in heaven or something lol. I played that song on me and my wife’s very first date the day the album came out was the day I met her. Yes we got engaged and married fast since she’s my wife now lolll cause it’s their newest album and hasn’t been out too long hahaha. But it’s a special song for us. She told me she doesn’t like metal or rock or heavy music and then she heard “I’ll tell you someday” and she just looked in awe and didn’t speak a word the entire song and looked at me right after the song ended and said that song was absolutely beautiful and captured her the entire time. Ever since then I’ve introduced her to amazing instrumental bands and luckily now she hates vocalists and singing and of course screaming and prefers progressive instrumental music.

Troy is such a force behind the drums, dude is a beast.

This. I'm not an expert, but it's soo satisfying to hear the added/improvised stuff.

Plini, I've been listening to you guys since 2017 and honestly your music changed my life. Your album Handmade Cities took me through college and Impulse Voices through my working career. It's been a sort of narrative field to how my life's been so far. It's made me feel so strong when I was at my lowest point and continues to be a source of pure catharsis. You're such a brilliant composer and guitarist, please never stop making music that speaks to my soul and allows me to feel things in the deepest trenches of my heart. When I saw you live in Bangalore at The Humming Tree in 2017 for the Handmade Cities Tour along with David Maxim Micic and Kraken, that night was the most magical experience of my entire life. Thanks for the good music and keep rocking man. Love ya. ☺️😊

It’s so good seeing Troy back with plini.

Ending Electric Sunrise and starting into I'll Tell You Someday is like having the best weekend and starting off the best Monday ever.

If you told me this was outtake tracks from DreamTheater's Images and Words sessions I'd have totally believed you, and I've been listening to that album for 30 years.

Outstanding. Chills every time I hear "Cascade, especially!

So fucking good!!!!

Simon Grove mixes are so good

Cascade will always be my favorite. Perfect blend of hard and soft. Amazing drum and bass runs. It has everything. Close second is Paper Moon. Cool seeing Troy get to jam with you guys. Best album he has put out to date IMO. BTW I LOVE Simons big bass of combat sound!

If you haven't heard the studio/album versions multiple times, you could mistake the tracks played here as something pre-recorded. Awesome musicianship!

My brain and heart cannot comprehend the brilliance of this

Esta banda tiene una onda muy particular; en esencia le ponen el alma y el corazón a esos instrumentos. Todo bien coordinado. Son unos Masters, unos genios! Gracias por este tipo de música que hacen!! Saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina!!

Dude inspired me to play shorter scale guitars. Look at his hands on the neck! Wasn’t gonna grow longer hands, so that seemed like the best route in lieu of that.

Those drums sound massive!!!!

Wow, god damn, this session is so clean.

What did I just experience? Amazing!

I want more.

it's awesome how you play guys! And Troy, I'm happy to see you back again!

This is a masterful Production. Everything about it is so brilliantly and beautifully scripted and performed. It’s basically perfection.
