And what does ‘shpongle’ mean? * 1
    #26451191 - 01/25/20 04:52 AM (4 years, 4 months ago)

Recently received my Shpongle book: Shpongle, Artifacts & Neurological Antiquities. I absolutely love this quote from Raja Ram:

And what does Shpongle mean?

Raj: Shpongle is a state of being. It’s a state of consciousness. It’s a state of observation and experience of one’s emotions on a cosmic level. The only words you can really find to describe it is to say, “I’ve been shpongled” or “I’m going to get shpongled” or “shpongalisation” or “Let’s go to a Shpongle concert” or something like that.

I received the e-mail notification re: the book about a month back.  I literally own the entire library of Shpongle albums, mostly on CD, but the last couple were digital purchases.  I saw them in Vegas a bunch of years back...but I wasn't convinced I wanted this book.

What do you think of it?

It’s probably not worth the money (£33.xx in UK). But it’s a great collectors item. Just reading through the history of how they got together and stuff, really intersting. And some great pictures. And a full page picture of the Shpongle mask from the cover of Are You Shpongled.

I’ve bought all their albums of iTunes then backed up to dvd.

Went a bit less ambient last night and put some trance on; hallucinogenic, Infected mushroom etc. What a revelation, and what a fantastic night. Best lying down rave I’ve ever been to!

I’d recommend the book to you having collected al their stuff.

I’d love to get a wall-sized poster of the Shpongle mask - the hair moves when you’re tripping so I bet it would look awesome ful size.....

Have you ever listened to any of their music while tripping? I see people talk about them... and I listened to some of their music sober.. but I feel like it would bring a bunch of weird vibes if I were tripping and  listening to them.

Guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a try and see what happens.

I heard about them a few years ago through youtube’s YourMateTom.
So I bought their first two albums off iTunes: Are You Shpongled?, And Tales of the Inexpressible.

For the last few years since hearing those first two albums tripping, I have been of the mind that those two albums in particular are PERFECT for mushrooms. You get loads of goblins when your eyes are closed, they’re the Shpongle tribe, always with you, always awesome. Their music definitely steers your trip into some beautiful spaces, and on higher doses you’re there with Simon Posford composing the next note, understanding his thought processes, it’s simply heavenly. The tracks have changing rhythms, changing beats, mixed harmonies, perfect fusion of electronic and acoustic music, awesome musicians, the records change too often to ever become boring. Their intent was to replicate psychedelic states in music, and I for one reckon they smashed it.

But last night I went psychedelic trance while tripping for the first time ever. Got myself a 3 hour playlist ready, which I put on at 2 hours in. It was like the best lying down rave I have ever experienced. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. But in the playlist were a couple of Shpongle tracks. They didn’t really mix that well with full-blown trance. I’d say they were a half-way house between psi-ambient and psi-trance.

So I’d recommend dedicating a trip to Shpongle. Wait until the come up is getting that intense you’re almost at the breakthrough stage (1.5 to 2 hours after drinking Lemon Tek tea), and then put Are You Shpongled on. Close your eyes, and if you don’t mind headphones, you’ll get the full 3d experience, though these days I just have my Bluetooth speaker on - the bass is so much deeper and louder and you still get the vast arena of music totally enveloping you 👍🏻

And on very high doses, where it gets “too challenging”, Shpongle will always ground me and lessen the angst.

Sweet! Thanks man. I may be able to dive into the psychedelic headspace tonight and give that a whirl (hope this new batch of mushrooms is better) - I don't think my last trip really built a tolerance either because it was a fairly weak experience.

Just purchased some new headphones as well and have been wanting to take them for a psychedelic journey. If all goes well tonight - I will be giving this a try! Thanks buddy, appreciate you :hahyeahwoo:

If all goes well, you’ll be on a magical carpet ride above the carnivals of Rio, when you get to My head Feels Like A Frisbee!

Hope it all works out. You’ll love the headphones. Have an amazing headspace 👍🏻

Yes!

Shpongle while on shrooms is definitely an amazing trip soundtrack.

I have the opposite opinion on this one.  I have been a Shpongle fan since the first album was released.  I love their music and the psychedelia it conveys is great when sober or with THC.  But with tripping, for me, it is more overwhelming than enjoyable.  As said elsewhere, everything in ordinary reality is trippy when you are tripping.

It can be a strange ride, for sure! Try them after you’ve peaked and are on the way down. They can be really chilled.

Ah yeah!

I saw Shpongle live last year at Red Rocks. One of the best shows Ive ever seen in my life. Unreal! Took LSA extract and shrooms for the special occassion. Was a little rough but totally worth it.

If you like Shpongle's music, check out their live show DVDs of Red Rock shows :awesomenod:

Great shout LogicaL Chaos 👍🏻

I’d loved to have gone to that final show; the photos Simon Posford put up on Facebook were amazing. At least I’ve seen Hawkwind though 👊🏻

Noice! I wasn’t able to afford VIP to go both nights. I didn’t have a bank account at the time so I had to use those prepaid debit cards to buy my tix and there’s a $500 limit on them and because I had to get multiple tix i couldn’t get 2 VIP unless I only went one night and I just had to be there both nights. I was a little miffed that both nights were almost identical set lists (although in different order), but still had a great time.

I stood in line for 45min waiting for a poster on the first night and then Tipper came on and my acid was kicking in, so I said fuck it and got out of line and headed for a seat and by that time we weren’t able to find anything close to the stage. Ended up like 15 rows from the top/back. The Saturday night show we got there 2 hours early to get in line so we were the first ones in. Still only got to like Row 15 somehow. I think other gates opened before ours.
Never did get that poster, but a couple days after the show they released like 1,200 of the purple foil versions of that poster which I was able to snag.




I received my book a few weeks ago as well as the Nothing Lasts remastered vinyl. I want to get all their albums on vinyl but buying the originals is too expensive to get a mint copy so I’ve been getting the new remastered ones (though I missed the Are You Shpongled? Remastered) which all cost me like $130 after shipping to the USA! Fuckin crazy.

I haven’t taken my book out of the shrink wrap. I don’t ever intend on selling it, but I want to keep it as mint as possible until I can’t stand it any longer and have to read it.

So far I have Tales of the Inexpressible, Nothing Lasts, and Codex VI on vinyl (obviously I have EVERYTHING Posford related on digital)

I would like to take this opportunity to ask:
If anyone has Are You Shpongled or Ineffable Mysteries on vinyl (mint or near mint) I will totally trade you a sealed copy of Codex VI.
Considering the value of Ineffable Mysteries vinyl, I will trade TWO SEALED copies of Codex VI.
And If there are any takers, I don’t care if it’s the original or remastered LP of Are You Shpongled? As long as it’s Near Mint.



Side note: my first time eating mushrooms in 2007 I searched for “trippy” on YouTube and found this video called “Flashback” or something that was just this trippy shit with Divine Moments of Truth playing and that’s how I discovered Shpongle. After starting that video, Me and two friends proceeded to have our minds blown in my friends parents basement for the next 5 hours.

The video made no mention of Shpongle, So a few months later when I officially found Shpongle and got their albums I was pleasantly surprised when I found it was the same music artist from that video I found during the onset of that first mushroom trip. I’m positive some of you saw this video back in the early days of YouTube. Starts out with this annoying fly buzzing around and then gets into the music.

That night transformed my life forever.


Stay Shpongled my fellow pioneers

I’m holding out for the full vinyl box set :trippinballs: it has to come one day.......

They were great shows, not to be missed.  We went all out!  We have the two posters from VIP and I bought one of the even more limited ones at the show.  Didn’t snag a foil though, since it wasn’t actually a limited run but I bet it’s cool.  I’ll get some pics posted of all the vip swag they gave us for going all in, totally worth it!
