Reviews & Discussion

Rated 5/5
Review by goanoah Sep 29, 2005 (edited over 4 years ago)
What we have here is the postmodern emergence of the Shpongle sound, encapsulating at once classic Shpongle traits and new, different directions in psychedelic-tribal-ambient-trance.
The total composition of each track flows into one another flawlessly, and they used more live vocal samples, more acoustic instrumentation such as a stand-up bass for some basslines, mixed with the quintessential Shpongle sound creates a new Chpongle hybrid, if you will.
The second Shpongle LP took me a while to get used to it- this one will necessitate growage however i know i will fall completely in love with it as time passes.
This album has such a unique sound in its composition- it would work very well as a live act, if it's not already.
