Don't DL the album man. Support Posford and Raja or we won't get music like this if they see that no money is coming on. So please order it or buy it or whatever. besides, if you haven't noticed the posts at all, you will be pleasently suprised at the differences between the CD and the MP3s.
good luck
p.s. Talked to Shrumping and thought I would share. I agree with what he says. Tales is more of a spiritual, uplifting album while are you shpongled is more psychedelic and covers more grounds in terms of emotional range, ect. Shroom on one and then the other for two completely different effects.

you pronounce it like songle only with a hp in there ;-)
Sh Pon Gull - Shpongle.
oh and yellowsubmarine, I have to disagree with you a bit:
"Are You Shpongled?" is indeed more psychedelic, a bit darker of an album in general, and a bit crazier than Tales.
"Tales of the Inexpressible" is more uplifting and carries a wider range of textures and emotions than AYS, in my opinion.
I've studied both albums very closely, as is obvious to those who see me preaching Shponglism around the forum here, and really can't decide which one I like better - they're both so different. I thought Tales of the Inexpressible was better when I had mp3s, but after I bought the albums I realized how much deeper this stuff goes, and there's no way to judge which is "better."

I remember when Are You Shpongled first came out, I listened to it alot, but never really found the whole album to be a front-to-back listening experience. Then Tales came out... WOAH!
Some of the songs on Shpongled tend to "go crazy" in their second halves, ala traditional Posford/Hallucinogen style. It was like, the first half was so good, what happened??... I would just fast forward to the next song.
Whereas in Tales I like how the whole album nearly flows as one song, so I pick that as my favorite Its also got catchier melodies

************Shpongle Spores isn't even considered one of the "great" Shpongle tracks - man you're in for a treat with those cds
arent the BEST songs the ones that get no attention as a "good" song anyways, hehe at least i think so with most albums i buy, i end up completly loving one song way more than the single out at the time...and then theyll go and make that song as the 2nd single then i get sick of that song.....damn radio overplaying stuff ..........ANYWAY
i still havent bought a sphongle album even tho ive been meaning to for a while, ill prolly order it online next friday when i get payed, im just gonna get one for now, and itll prolly be their first one, then buy the 2nd cd and see how they evolve

Sometimes people piss me off SO fucking much around here. Just the ignorant retards
IF you paid attention...In the post before, I said I was going to go buy the two albums(because I had just listened to shpongle spores and really liked it). Then strumpling said something like, "that isn't even considered one of the best tracks. You'll really enjoy the albums for sure". SO...i went and downloaded the one album(and of course...it's awesome).
So basically saying...take your foot out of your mouth. I am going to go buy the albums

The 6th Revelation is the newest "released" Shpongle track - its on the Mystery of the Thirteen Crystal Skulls compilation project.... Its an excellent track in general - but doesn't really sound much like any of the other Shpongle stuff - there's not really as much sonic trickery involved.

First CD - "Are You Shpongled?" <- low-quality samples near the bottom of the page
Second CD - "Tales of the Inexpressible" <- low-quality samples near the bottom of the page
Both CDs are completely different, so if you don't seem to dig the samples from one, check out the other one anyway... and on top of that, every track is completely different, and these samples are very low-quality.
The only way to truely experience it is to take some psychedelics and actually listen to the real CDs.

nobody ever believes how different:
A.. how different the CDs are compared to mp3s
B. how different the CDs are on psychedelics
