Shpongle is THE BEST
    #6379084 -

Last night I smoked some mad herb (it must have been indica, I got some serious "couchlock" and I didn't want to do anything; didn't like that so much, I prefer sativa). Sitting at my computer alone in the middle of night, I threw on "Are You Shpongled?" and listened through headphones.

I was absolutely annihilated.

The detail, the sounds, the little nuances everywhere, that I completely failed to realize sober were overwhelming. The entire album felt like it was growing, breathing, reproducing; it was a living creature experienced through sound.

I've listened to Shpongle and other music before when stoned, and I always said that it wasn't THAT different (compared to on mushrooms, when it's just entirely different no matter what), but when I put on the headphones, it definitely sounded like what it would if I had done mush.

I don't think there is any other music like this. It is incredible what Simon Posford and Raja Ram have done. There is NO better tripping music than Shpongle.

Yeah man, Shpongle is good, but Boards of Canada rock as well, I love just sitting down when im tripping, throwing on some big headphones, and listening to Boards of Canada.

yes, shpongle is awesome.

while no one can beat shpongle in quality of experience, the trippiest music ive ever heard is Capsula.

i would attach an mp3 to this post for you to compare, but the desired song by Capsula is way too large!

Posford is the man. At Symbiosis this year he did a Hallucinogen set at 5:00am and I was so spun out I was still shpongled when he did a Shpongle set at 2:00 that afternoon. Blew my mind! That Hallucinogen set was one of the best sets i've ever seen.

Olivia Tremor Control is my band of choice for tripping. kind of like the Beatles but more druggy and interesting. Dusk at Cubist Castle is the greatest album of the 90s.

I don't think they're that great. i'd take Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, and Orbital over Shpongle anyday.

shpongle is excellent, but fuck headphones; they made it seem like the music is coming from inside your brain!

You dont have to think they are "that great". Even if you knew the first thing about music.

Those bands you just compared them to are totally different than shpongle.
Im glad you have an opinion, but do realize that "great" means different things to different people.
Really, you are going to compare shpongle to aphex twin? Thats like comparing the dead to shpongle, or miles davis to shpongle.

Shpongle is only heard the right way by some people. I know how I was the first time I heard a love supreme, or kind of blue. I didnt hear it, I honestly didnt get it. Once I became a pretty serious musician it was like magic. Talking without words.
It really is true that some peoples listening abilities dont meet the band even half way. Those who cant hear a band for what they are worth dont bother me much, but it sure does say something about how they see music.

Its like incubis, I dont listen to them, never will, but I can hear them and I respect what they do. I wouldnt compare them to any other band that isnt one bit similare. I wouldnt compare them to portishead though they have almost as many members and use the same instruments.


Shpongle is a very unique electronic band. They cater to everone from jazz fans, to those who like almost violent electronic music.

I can get into skinny puppy, but some of my favorite bands/artists are grant green, medeski martin and wood, herbie hancock, phish, radiohead, the dead, tribal tech(the jazz fusion band not the all-electronic one), mahavishnu orchestra, allan holdsworth, shakti, ravi shankar, and shpongle etc etc.

Im not about to compare any of them or say any respectable band "isnt that great" in comparison to those favorites.

When lets say, comparing brian eno to shpongle you are just waisting your time.

I guess I just saying that if you dont like shpongle and compare them to any other band out there, you kinda missed the point.

When comparing phish to art pepper, I could say, "I think phish is not that great". What would be the point though. I wouldnt say that because I can "hear them" both.

Shpongle probably is an aquired taste. Lets try to stay away from basically saying that they are just some "other band" when they really are so much more.

Then again, all musicians hear the brash luke warm comments from some people who think they are critics in some way, although they know nothing about music.

I guess Im saying there are only so many ways to listen "kind of blue" that would make you love it to death. Same goes for shpongle and all their albums.

I love Shpongle. I only have Tales Of The Inexpressible but I absolutely love it. Sober, high, stoned, ripped, or tripping, Shpongle makes great music. My favorite song is "Once Upon The Sea Of Blissful Awareness".

I'd just like to say that I also enjoy Shpongle very much, I like any of Posford's work. The Hallucinogen project was also great as well. Although, I'm not as into Raja Ram's work(i.e. Infinity project) but he brought that chill-out ambient atmosphere to Posford's style, and he is half of Shpongle so  :thumbup:
