so, after hearing so much raving about the wonder that is shpongle, i bought "Tales of the Inexpressible." so far, i've only given it two listens, but so far... i'm a bit underwhelmed. it's better than your average goa-psy... but not by a lot.
perhaps i was expecting too much, but this album is only 4 years old, and to me it sounds more dated than other electronic releases from a decade ago or longer.
a caveat... i'm no electronic connoisseur. i tend to prefer the more experimental sound... the likes of Mouse on Mars, Boards of Canada, Autechre and Aphex Twin. i was expecting shpongle to be akin to the aforementioned.
to be completely honest, it sounds a bit like something i'd hear as background music at bloomingdale's or barney's.
