    Yes indeed sir...you crushed it on this record and I will agree with littleredguitars2 that it is a pleasure to watch you play. You're all a bunch of musical monsters and I for one can't get enough of Plini in general and this record in particular, which I purchased immediately after hearing the this track. Melodically it's simply captivating. Rhythmically it's mesmerizing and brilliant. I'm fond of saying 'I'm a singer, not a musician'. I'm probably old enough to be your grandfather (55) and my first concert was Leo Kottke literally 40 years ago. I was a big fan of the late, great Michael Hedges, whom I was fortunate to meet on several occasions while he walked (a few inches above) the planet. And like so many of your fans I'm sure, a huge fan of mainstays like Satch, Vai, Zappa, Patrucci, et al. I never play anything over and over and yet...'Handmade Cites' gets nearly daily play. 'Paper Moon' is a must on my mountain bike rides. I discovered Plini because I follow Steve Vai on Facebook. When THAT dude is raving out about your record, you know you've crushed it. That HAD to feel good. I was super bummed I learned about you guys literally a week after you played here in Scottsdale AZ. At a venue less then a mile from where I live. Next time I'm there and bringing peeps. Keep it up. You have a bright future if you keep crankin' out masterworks like this. LOVE and PEACE to you all from AZ. See ya next time through!

    I remember last October in Scottsdale AZ standing on the top level in VIP right next to the sound booth as Animals As Leaders had came on.... looked over and yourself, Troy and Plini were all sitting there right next to us watching the set. Pretty sure Aaron was there as well. Was cool to see you all enjoying the set as much as I did, youre all great guys. Got to see you in Mesa last year the first time you all came to AZ, met you all then as well. Best experiences ever at a live concert witnessing what you all do with your instruments, and look forward to what you all have to bring in the years to come!! Keep up that dedication Simon :D

    Your tone is to die for and you play so incredible clean and on point. But that lighting fast and snappy speed with your right hand gets me every time. My eyes can't follow and even if I slow down the video it becomes a blur. Mesmerizing. Plini really is blessed with so much talent around him.
