It's really good.

Discuss.

I thank you for introducing me to said band.

the bits i listened to at the twisted-shop were GREAT, as always with shpongle. ordered the cd and cant wait to get it

lets get shpongled!

p.s.: lovers of psychedelic ambient, dub and so on, if you dont know shpongle, check them out!

these guys are sick. someone suggested I listen to their music after I said I was trying to figure out how to create a surround sound experience.


gonna check for this new album right now

Simon Posford (half of Shpongle) is possibly the best producer on the planet, proper next level genius stuff. He's worked with Alan Parsons & David Gilmour on a rather wonderful track, pretty much defined psytrance in the mid 90s under the moniker 'Hallucinogen', and he's in another group called Younger Brother.

See:
Alan Parsons + Shpongle + David Gilmour


Younger Brother


Who says all psytrance is badly produced, eh?

I used to be embarassed that I liked Are You Shpongled?
Is it OK now?

Seminal chillout/psychedelic album. It's the Skream! of the psychedelic and ambient world, big crossover business.

the limited edition vinyl run is still available, got my one yesterday

Funny, I've been getting into the Hallucinogen stuff lately too. Not all of it's my cuppa, but one song in particular - "Spiritual Antiseptic (Minty Fresh Confidence mix)" - has had me totally in awe at the production.



And oh yeah - my dad found out about Shpongle before I did, and he's almost 60.

i know what im listenin to next time im trippin

That's actually one of the dub remixes that OTT did, he released a full remix album called Hallucinogen In Dub, it's fucking wonderful

Shpongle? Damn fucking right, this is where its at!

I'd have to agree, I think Simon Posford is one of the best producers there is and not a bad bass player either. Buy everything that you can find that's made by Simon Posford, you don't even have to listen to it because its bound to be really good.

I first came accross him when he was in a band called Purple Om, when he lived in a caravan in a field in Dorset. Purple Om released a record called "Armageddon" in about 1993 which he remixed in 1999, but the 1993 version was the best. Simon 'Exodus' Scott had three copies of this 1993 record and wore every one of them out because he played them so much. I can't find a copy of 1993 version on You Tube, but I think that this is the 1999 dub remix:

I meant to put: As Kuato would say,

"Open your mind............................"

No they're god awful hippy crap.

and I collect fuckloads of psych rock and prog rock so I've got a high tolerance for that kind of thing

no turn un-stoned, no words unsaid!

I concur

Logic Bomb ftw

Having seen their American fanbase, I rage whenever I hear the name Shpongle.
