NOTHING at all like Shpongle - nothing will EVER come close to it, except POSSIBLY Shpongle III or music coming out 5 years from now at least!
BUT: the closest stuff to it:
Juno Reactor (already mentioned above by "aguynameddan") - You'll wanna try the last two albums - "Bible of Dreams" and "Shango"
People on this forum also might not be aware of the two albums which have been labeled even by the ARTISTS as Shpongle-Clones - "Entheogenic - Entheogenic" and "Shulman - Soundscapes and Modern Tales" - if you dig the Shpongles......... I HIGHLY RECOMMEND (this coming from one of the biggest Shpongle fans on EARTH.. I've closely studied every album I've ever obtained.. and these come closest - fitting, because both artists basically say they were trying to get that same vibe-changing[-WOW!]-vibe that Shpongle pulls off so well - wow this is a lot of stuff in parentheses), as they're the closest to Shpongle I've come across so far... and dude thats basically my mission in life lol to find(/create?) stuff this "audibly awesome."
also worthy of honerable mention is Makyo - Yakshini, Celtic Cross - Hicksville, Mystery of the Yeti Part II (TIPWorld Records), and.. oh yeah!! The Fireman - Rushes (its Paul McCartney working with Youth) - an album where an old Beatle genius gets to work with a top electronic producer in the studio with all the new toys (its so different from anything the beatles ever did, yet twice as brilliant) oh man that album kicks some major ass too
I'll be able to recommend some more later.. but those are DEFINITELY the closest I've found so far (I'd heard some of those before Shpongle, and instantly knew which direction the most mature electronic music was going), but I'll keep you posted
Any fan of Shpongle's is a friend of mine mmmm holy shit I'll probably listen to that tonight (FUCK! I let my friend borrow my good headphones!).
Oh and just as a reminder for those who have Shpongle (not mp3... pff go BUY it its 10X as good) but haven't listened to it on mushrooms - ITS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCE ON SHROOMS than it is on anything else, or sober for that matter - its MADE for psychedelic intoxication.
-=- Matt/Strumpling -=- lol dammit.... ranting on and on about Shpongle again.. phew I'm probably looking pretty crazy by now eh? If I do.. you haven't tripped to Shpongle yet, have you?

well it might be best to try not to listen to it again until you're tripping - I've found that the longer the break you take from it (or if you're pimp enough to buy the CD and not even listen to it at all until you're tripping.. which is definitely the best way to go..), the more incredible it will be.
-=- Matt/Strumpling -=- hmm actually I guess EVERYTHING's like that..

I totally agree with you. Buying a shpongle cd that i've never heard, and putting it on my cd player as i'm coming up hardcore on mushies was the best tripping experience ever, lol. i insisted people become shpongled, and forced my headfones upon them until they submitted to the power of shpongle

I hate Juno Reactor, don't know why.
Check out Hallucinogen, its one of the artists (Simon Posford) from Shpongle's solo work.
Also, I'd say the trippiest song EVER is Etnica - Trip Tonite. (trip tonight, triptonite, trip tonite, lots of different versions and spellings, but DL them!)

Yeah, Hallucinogen is a great choice. Same main guy. it's more fast, more dance beat (less mellow ones than on the second shpongle) and hallucinogen is just supreme tippy dance out stuff. i would go out of my way very far to catch a party he was at. i also enjoy astral projection alot.

I hate it when people ask what kind of music Shpongle is..... lol its tons of different types of music
Good news: Most of its relatively "chill-out" stuff compared to like Hallucinogen or some of the more "gushing" and "stomping" electronic stuff

I used to describe it as a slower techno, but its not really. I dont know what it is.
Have any of you ever looked up the 'lyrics' for shpongle? http://www.dmt.hut.ru/shpongle.html

Children of the Bong, very trancy mellow with dub style. It is not the same but I would put it in the same category as Shpongle. For some reason they are not making tracks any more.
Check out the song Polyphase I use this to test speakers great highs and lows. Take the CD into Circuit City and blast it.
