I just heard this "band" today and they are awesome!!! If i had to describe it, i would say it is a more relaxed infected mushroom. What do you guys think of them?

 

[TommyTheCat]

Search...lol. And yes, a lot of people here love shpongle.

 

[SysteX]

Big Shpongle fan here. Many threads here about them, too.

 

[ChaseD13]

Wow...I didnt realize shpongle was so popular here. Its just great stuff.

Shpongle is easily the most amazing psy-trance (although they cannot simply be put into one genre) I've ever heard. Some of the most dense and complex layering and production of ANY music I've ever heard. I keep hearing new sounds and effects with each headphone upgrade.

The only thing better than listening to a Shpongle album on a high-end headphone rig is listening to Shpongle on a high-end headphone rig on a mind-altering substance.

QFT!

 

[ChaseD13]

mind-altering substances..... aren't those dangerous?

I should have their 2007 album ariving via Amazon today or early next week. I have high hopes for this album. Too bad most of their releases seem to be out of print. Quite pricey at Amazon. The only one Amazon themselves have "in stock" ships 4-5 weeks after purchase. So I bought from an individual

 

[stevenkelby]

YES! They were a big surprise for me, recommended on head-fi. Great stuff, thanks, whoever it was!

 

[Pearlworld]

yeee awesome sound very well produced, sounds great on my DT770's through my Firestone amp

Hallucinogen (sp?) are similar and awesome too.

That's no miracle since Hallucinogen is a project of a Shpongle band member.

 

[stevenkelby]

I though they sounded similar!

 

[steviebee]

I have to hear this band!
What's the best album to start with? I know of three (Have You Been, one with a blue cover/floating head whose name escapes me, & the Remix CD)...

(Yeah, I know, SEARCH!)

Thy the search field is ones friend.
Please view wikipedia if you want to learn more about this music project, which is not considered a band.
I chimed in on this additional shpongle thread to help illustrate that this musical experience is more a mental stimulation and exercise for your senses, as well as simply wonderful soundscapes and amazingly produced analog waves of layers...Also, this music does NOT require the listener to be on mind altering substances, and just for the record, these albums are for every serious and casual listener. In plain fact, it is quite worth it to hear all their catalog stuff on a dynamite headphone system in the dark. I used to have a quote from shpongle on my sig here for many months..
"kippered, mashed, smashed, destroyed, COMPLETELY GESCHTONKENFLAPPED" ...
