The Music Question thing...

Hey all...
Been around for a while, and seen this question about a million times. Theres a reason; its a good question.
Kicking aournd the internet a while ago i came across the answer to all your questions (perhaps!). Its called Gnoosic. Its a user defined search engine, you enter three o your favourite bands, and a whole wack of stuff comes up that it might think you like. The best thing is its user defined, so it correlates the bands based on what you enter and vote for. Try it, you might find something awesome.

Dope site. It suggested a lot of stuff I like, and a few things I didn't know about that I'm looking forward to trying.

lets see what it says about shpongle...
1. Hallucinogen (same guy as Shpongle [minus raja ram]), not much like Shpongle though.. 2. Infected Mushroom... erm not really Shpongle-like 3. Astral Projection.... argh its giving me a bunch of psytrance, which kicks ass, but isn't like Shpongle..
Cool site though - when I find new artists I'm into I'll head there to see who else is similar. thx for the link man

Yah man! no problem! The best thing is that with more use it will get to be a much better resource! So, pass the link on to others- and dont forget to vote for the things that come up and you like!

After listening to some sample tracks of Shpongle, I'd describe it as Ambient Techno.

Listen to samples of Dorset Perception or My Head Feels Like A Frisbee or Behind Closed Eyelids
can't really classify those as ambient OR techno
and once you hear the details in every track you know its not techno

i figured putting shpongle in a search engine for similar music would blow up your computer as it performed the most futile of tasks :-) my theories tend to be wrong tho... especially this one

dude they have to classify it somewhere... you think these people who cover pop/rock/country/jazz/everything are really tuned to the style of Shpongle? hehehh
The artists say it should be classified as "Misc. Psychedelia" - I agree
oh and Brugman,
although the lyrics are posted as "3d dimensions" its not 3d dimensions... think about that for a minute.. three-dimensional-dimensions? Its "Freaky Dimensions"
That track is called The Star Shpongled Banner (Psychedelic Banter) - I would assume (Psychedelic Banter) is referring to those words, which are just wild psychedelic banter

I have a CD called Mushroom Head. I listen to this CD every time I roll, trip, get high or whatever. See if you can find some songs from this CD, it's really tight. Sorry but I don't know any of the names, since I burned the CD from a friend.
