Shpongle - Are You Shpongled?

maroko, Aug 27, 2008

If there was ever an album recorded with the intention to give listeners a possibility to feel ubiquitous, then it would just have to be Shpongles "Are you shpongled?". Its like youre simultaneously welcomed to multiple places around the Planet, and no matter where youve just landed, your welcoming party always consists of the finest autochthonic live band.
The music is so uberous, and provides ultimate proof of how great minds sharing talent have true potential to convey the unthinkable. Its tribal, its purely electronic, then again at places its not, its ambient despite lacking tipical characteristics of the genre, but then its uptempo with musical traits dissimilar from the standard psy trance sound of the era. Its Shpongle, and a decade ago, it was a release in a galaxy of its own, sounding like nothing else, and best of all is that it still does. A musical landmark no matter what do you expect from music.
