you'll like Shpongle much better at CD-quality..

Its like Simon Posford said in an interview regarding mp3s, "I guess its good for getting the music out there, but I'd prefer that people listened to it the way I intended, not with 90% of the data removed."

This is more true for Shpongle than any other artist I've found

I don't know... I've listened to shpongle both on CD and mp3... and I prefer the mp3 because I can take it everywhere with me... if u get a high quality mp3, then you really can't notice the difference,all the faint sounds are still there.

Oh, another band that the person who started this thread might also be interested in is Infected Mushroom, the majority of their music is NOT much like shpongle, but the "experimental" CD on their newest album "converting Vegetarians" is in my oppinion on par with shpongle, I finally found out why i liked it so much. Infected Mushroom music is very synthetic and machine-like on first glance, but as you pay attention to it, especially on the experimental CD you will notice that the notes are never perfect, they all have some sort of imperfection within them which make them sound much more organic and the synnergy between synthetic and organic is like an auditory orgasm... in my oppinio it is very trippy I suggest you guys try it out.

I love Shpongle and dub trees, bu dont like infected mushroom.
If you expect Infected mushroom to be even compare to Shpongle in its texture or vibe you will be dissapointed.

In my opinion Infected mushroom is one of many hugely over-rated electronic groups currently being flogged to unsuspecting listeners.
They use basic drum sequencing and general sequencing that wasnt experimental to the underground techno of 1995! The stuff is often sampled in 8 bit and the sequencing could have been done on protracker on an Amiga.
Basically its 8 bit four tracked sequencing you could slap up with your arse in five minutes - a few old school 808 bass twisting and filters and the odd poor 8 bit sample to make it sound slightly 'psychedelic.'
I think Juno Reactor in general do psy-trance so much better, but i prefer alternate ambiant and electronic artists.

I notice major differences under the influence - A couple tripping friends and I compared them "blindly" and could totally tell which was which with 256kbps bitrate mp3s vs the cds. 256 kbps compared to cd quality is like more than half of the data just GONE, technically speaking, and it definitely shows with nice clear soundsystems or good headphones

it seems to test the limits of every soundsystem I've ever played it on in different ways

man... that's just not true, I don't know which of their songs you have listened to, but the ones I've heard and the ones I reccomended have ALOT of depth to them and are amazing to listen to, I haven't listened to them while tripping, but they're great songs, they ARE different from shpongle, but they are still very psychedelic and you CAN'T just slap them together, there is alot of thought put into every song, there are melodies within the melodies that you can only distinguis after continued listening.

Oh come on. 256Kbps? I don't believe you could tell the difference. 192Kbps is almost impossible, let alone 256Kbps.

Keep in mind- tripping. and Shpongle. There's much detail in the audio of Shpongle that would go unrecognized in a normal state of reality, but it's there. Oh yeah it's there.

Ive have the entire 'converting vegetarians' and a cd of theirs that has about 20 mp3s. I didnt ay they were anything like shpongle. I have friends who think they are good live, but their recorded music is completely indiscernable from what was being made in 1995. Trust me i was and still am quite big into the scene - in terms of sequencing and i can tell how hard something is to make. It sounds simple, they use shitty 8 bit samples half the time, quite old and unoriginal 808 bass twists that underground styles had done everything possible with by 1998. The only difference this has a bigger market and is heard by people who never heard the older underground stuff. The new stuff is basically pretty similar - slightly nicer around the edges by groups like Juno R., etc, and some 'psychedelic' sounds and samples to make it sell psytrance with a doof, and these kind of smaples are the easiest to come up with.
Mushroom are shit in every way - if you think they are cool and talented, id have to say that you must not have heard much in the way of underground electronic music in the last ten years.
If you want to hear some progressive drum and bass check out an old underground group called Bedioun Ascent - a song called waveboy - fucking awesome and those guys know how to sequence.

i agree. i have done blind comparisons of several bands mp3's to cd's. i was dead on everytime with 192kbs, never tried 256, but i dont doubt its possible.

freddurgan: get some better spekars or better headphones. i mean BETTER!

Strumpling is right, Ozric Tentacles kick ass !!!!
Hidden Step is a wicked album, but Curius Corn or Erpland is even better.  Ozrics are definatly the best band to trip to...The ethnic polyrythmic beats, spacerock jamming and dub trance always sends me into a psychedelic world  :mushroom2:

Alright first of all, Orb Live '93 is incredible. Secondly: Shpongle on an lossy audio format doesn't compare. If you must go lossy, go Ogg at the very least 128, but 192 is best I think; however, why not just go lossless and use some apes? They're a great format and compress well. Seriously, don't miss even the top or bottom 5khz of the experience.

cool, more posts - these kinda threads are good for that - yay

biosphere - "substrata" <- for sphongle fans and their ilk
biosphere - "microgravity" <- yeah
autechre - "incunabula" <- fucking classic
autechre - "tri repitae ++" <- fucking classic(er)
squarepusher - "ultra visitor" <- current cd in heavy rotation
the orb's adventures beyond the ultraworld

all this blows sphongle out of the water ... let the sparks fly.
none of this compares to me banging on my chest like a drum at 2 am while I'm high on shit

however, this is just a meaningless opinion on a message board, your experience may vary - use with discression

Children of the Bong

Very good dub psy sounds.

You can download some off Soul Seek when I am on. Not very easy to find. I recomend Polyphase or Life on Planet Earth for a taste.

Also "Banco De Gaia - Last Train to Lhasa" is a good hour long trip
