I think electronic music is more of a certain process, not just a genre. And if you look at it as a genre, it's like with many other genres: what most people see as something that defines the genre is just the more simple, easier to get into side of it that gets popular for a while. Just a tip of a huge iceberg. Nowadays it is so common to mix and match different kind of processes to make all these amazing songs. And Shpongle is great example of that mindset. Just using whatever to get the sound they want, be it live instruments, circuit bended children's toys, obscure samples from old movies, the most modern virtual synths and whatnot.
@thewhorocks5153 жыл бұрын

Shpongle is Simon Posford and Raja Ram. Raja was originally the flutist in Quintessence, the 70s progressive psychedelic rock/jazz fusion band. I believe Simon was an audio engineer before starting to work with Youth (Martin Glover) bassist of Killing Joke and producer for many top acts. Youth started Dragonfly Records - a label that released many electronic psychedelic acts from the early 90s onwards that were a part of the psychedelic resurgence that was occurring in the UK and other parts of the world due to travellers returning from their awakening on the dancefloors on the beaches of Goa in India. A very influential band from this same movement is Ozric Tentacles - a psychedelic progressive fusion band that has released around 20 albums since their first release in 1983 until the present day. Main member and guitarist Ed Wynne is phenomenal.

Dear DECOMPOSER, the review is excellent entertainment. Thank you for your honesty. May I point out some favourite moments? I am a classically trained musician and a lecturer of electronic music. I hold Shpongle in some regard as a reference for teaching. I am glad that this piece inspired you to go a write some more music. Please do publish it. I would be interested to hear Shpongle review of your music. “This is not meditation style music I am used to.” “The first two minutes are relaxing and de-compressing, that would put you into meditative stage." - Contradiction “Definitive percussion pattern” - Damn right! Shpongle is known for it. Second stop: “There will not be any guitar and this is cool”… The guitar has been playing for the last 3 minutes. Never mind. “Sonic Ear Candy” - Excellent! The masterpiece of Shpongle, “A lot of this stuff is ‘drag, drop and tweak’ - everything is perfect and because of this there is crystal clear sound.” The composer, perhaps could make some mistakes make some mistakes, so he does not get mistaken for a sampled computerised perfection. “A cross over of double time and half time” - the word is POLYRHYTHM.

Divine Moments Of Truth is a must like people have commented. I would add ...And The Day Turned To Night is an almost 20 minute work of art from their first album (shares space with Divine Moments). You were expecting some metal guitar to jump in at some point gave me a big chuckle. There are plenty of other good artists that are in this realm of psybient, Entheogenic (their tune, Ground Illuminosity) and Ott's Queen Of All Everything. Can't go wrong there.

Dude please keep doing Shpongle reaction videos! I´ve been searching for these for a long time!

One of their more obscure pieces... lovely none the less. Dig deeper you'll get sphongled, No question.

I can't believe to hear Shpongle on your channel, how amazing is that? Btw.they are around for more than 20 years now and enlightened so many nights for me. Raja Ram must be around 80 years old in inbetween and he was one of the main founders of India based "Goa-Techno" or "Psychedelic-Progressive-Trance". I've seen them live a handful times and they are mind-expanding,I heavily recommend "Around the World in a tea daze"! And to get a little more heavy listen to "Juno Reactor" s " Bible of dreams",you will be fully satisfied. This is what my nights were like in the late 90's.Flashback!

I love watching people hear Shpongle for the first time. You nailed it with "sonic ear candy"! You're right about the capabilities of modern synths, modules and plugins, but it's worth pointing out that these guys have been making this stuff since the late 1990s, and making it well. Shpongle's resident genius Simon Posford has other projects too - worth taking a listen to Younger Brother (try The Last Days of Gravity).

Tales of the inexpressible was definitely my number one favorite album. That one will take you on a journey and leave you Shpongled.

For something similar I would recommend Ott - Rogue Bagel.

Seeing Shpongle play "Nothing Is Something Worth Doing" live changed my life in ways I can't even begin to equate. Check out the live version with the spotlight on the guy playing the hang. Impeccable.

Video hasn't even been out long enough for me to watch it (I'm commenting during your intro :D) but I am so excited to see you react to Shpongle. I saw their final ever live band show a couple years ago, it was incredible. If you decide to do another Shpongle track, I would suggest one of their classics. Dorcet Perception is probably my favorite suggestion to new listeners Some sphongle tracks have as many as 150 or 200 different audio tracks going on across the course of one of their songs Fun fact, _alot_ of this is sampled. Simon loves working with samples, he's travelled all over the world to work with individual artists on unique instruments. I believe he himself played the guitar sample you mentioned

OMG, my man just rode the Shpongle shroom rocket. For the life of me I can't figure out why channels do not React to this band, they are otherwordly. Never will you be the same once you dive deeper into this band. You, sir, are a LEGEND.

I definitly didn't expect to see a reaction to Shpongle on here! I had the pleasure of seeing one half of them live a few years ago, one of the most surreal experiences of my life

Loving seeing Shpongle on here! Would be amazing to see more electronic ambient-ish on this channel. Here are some other good tracks that would be awesome to see: Tycho - A Walk Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith - Expanding Electricity

You nailed the genre. It's psychedelic trance and ambiant. Shpongle is one of the originators of the Psybient genre.
