  • @psychedelicafrica4817
    @psychedelicafrica4817 2 роки тому +1

    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.

      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.

    It is pronounced: shh-pon-gull (hard g). And yes, they are psychedelic ambient (psybient). There are so many tunes that you could do if you so choose. 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.
    Always great to see someone discover Shpongle for the first time. Enjoy, my friend.

    Amazing to see a good shpongle reaction video. I was curious when they were going to show up. Their sound and style is quite diverse while always being quintessentially Shpongle. So many great tracks to choose from. Star Shpongled Banner, Juggling Molecules, Nothing is Something Worth Doing...
    Subscribed and looking forward to more!

    Oh man, this channel just gets better and better! These guys have always had a special place in my heart. Great to see you cover them.
    I'd recommend checking out some of their earlier songs.
    Dorset perception, and
    Around the world in a tea daze
    Are a couple of my favs, would love to see them decomposed at some point. Some great Indian percussion, flamenco guitar and juicy vocals. I think you'll get a kick out of it. Peace!

    You should check psybient or goa genres. Shpongle is often classified in the former.
    As someone else said, check Juno Reactor, Blue Planet Corporation, Bluetech, Carbon Based Lifeforms, and my favorite, Ott.

    It's called "psychedelic downtempo" or "psybient" and I must say it's great, especially all indian/middle-eastern samples used both by Shpongle or Space Buddha. Good stuff. Trippy stuff.

  • @Forkez

    With Sphongle now having been added to the mix, I'd like to request Infected Mushroom - Dancing with Kadafi. Don't pay any heed to the title. I personally don't think it's their best song, but it might prove to be interesting to you.

    • @fredrikekholm3718

    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!

    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

    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).

  • @ParisChristianne
    @ParisChristianne 3 роки тому +1

    Congratulations on being Shpongled! You are now officially a shpongoloid.
    As for the band and their whole deal, I would group them under the general term psychedelia. Some would call them psybient, some of their tracks border on psytrance. Whatever it is they do a lot of psychedelic drugs and their music is arguably best experienced while under the influence of psychedelic drugs lol. As you mentioned a lot of what they're doing is running signals through tons and tons of effects, a lot of which are specifically designed to induce synesthesia while under the influence of psychedelics (a great example would be the sort of granular glitching on the voice at 15:14).
    Most of the stuff in their songs is either synthesized or sampled, with the exception of the various flute-based instruments, as one of the two founding members of the band plays a variety of instruments in that grouping.

  • @JesterOfDestiny
    @JesterOfDestiny 3 роки тому

    It's so cool to see a reaction channel focus on the more "sophisticated" type of music. Prog rock, prog metal, delving into the avant-garde a little bit and now psychedelic ambient.
    If I may make a suggestion, check out the band Sigh. They're a Japanese metal band and every one of their albums is one of a kind. Their album In Somniphobia is basically like a black metal version of Shpongle. But Imaginary Sonicscape is a similar wild ride as well.

    The genres are so mixed up these days, but definitely it's psychill/psybass/psydub kind of thing.. Ok, next songs to try if you digged this:
    Ott - The aubergine of the sun (psydub)
    (!) Suduaya - Nomad (my life song) (psychill/psydub)
    Suduaya - Above the clouds of Qadisha valley
    Suduaya - The labyrinth
    Suduaya- You are here now
    Solar Fields - Unite (psybient)
    Solar Fields - The stones are not too busy
    Hoopy Frood - Suspended in the brightness (psydub)
    Lab's Cloud - Underwater galaxy (psychill)
    Carbon Based Lifeforms - Photosythesis (psybient/intelligent dance music(IDM))
    Carbon Based Lifeforms - Supersede
    Robert Elster - Lizard tales (every song from that album is a whole complete story) (psybient/IDM)
    Desert Dwellers/Kayla Scintilla - Lotus heart (psychill/psydub)
    Hedflux - Wanderlust (psydub)
    Argus - Mr. Jingles (psybient)
    Lauge/Baba Gnohm - Nostalgi (psybient)
    Ok, I could go on and on, I'll stop

    Never thought I would see a Shpongle reaction. Great video, as others have commented Divine Moments of Truth is a must from Shpongle. Some similar artists are Shulman, Younger Brother, and Ott (he is more dub/reggae). Also, the flute is played by a person. I hope to see more reactions soon.
