Claude says:Australian guitarist Plini released this EP in 2013, the first in a trilogy that would eventually catch Steve Vai's attention and earn him a "future of exceptional guitar playing" nod. It's instrumental prog-fusion with djent heft and jazz fluidity — melody-forward in the Satriani tradition, technically rich but never showy for its own sake. You gave "Selenium Forest" a single spin in June, years after the guitar world had already crowned him.
