The Cocoon

by Richard Henshall

jimstrat Scott Jones recommended, looking forward to listening!

LilyUltraviolet Looks as though Richard will have to take the prog torch from his Haken bandmates as this is a far more compelling album than anything Haken had to offer from the ketchup and mustard albums. Favorite track: Silken Chains.

Andrea Bregoli An absolute treat for the ear, heart and mind.

For me, the best prog metal album that I heard so far. Can't thank Richard and all others involved enough for bringing this into existence. Favorite track: Lunar Room.

i like the Rick Beato videos and he had shown the track electric sunrise in his video "How To Count Odd Meters". I was very impressed from this song and searched for the whole album and found it at bandcamp ;-) hpaydt

I came to Plini via Mike Dawes "Push" single. I can't say enough good things about this album. The expansive feel and choice of instrumentation, the playful development of the tracks and the nods to other musicians (Zappa in the first solo of Glass Bead Game, for example) make this a magnificently coherent whole. The production somehow has an '80s feel, especially in the way the bright sounds stand out. Every time I listen I hear something new. Highly recommended. quentinsghost
