    You have no idea how many times I've searched "Shpongle reaction" into the search bar in hopes of finding a new reaction and being disappointing each time with the results. They are my favorite band of all times and no one else even comes close to replicating the sound they've achieved. I know the low view counts will probably discourage you from making anymore but it would mean so much to the rest of the Shpongle / Psychonaut community if you were to react and spread the message of some of more of their most iconic tracks.
    If you do decide to go down the Shpongle rabbit hole I would recommend these tracks first to properly initiate yourself:
    *A New Way to Say Hooray* - My personal favorite song of all time, im sure you can guess what it is in reference to if you're well versed in psychedelia.
    *Divine Moments of Truth (Original and Astrix Remix)* - What many would consider the quintessential Shpongle track that made them a household name amongst psychonauts and the spiritually inclined. The remix adds a lot to the song but is an entirely different, dance vibe compared to the original.
    *No Turn Un-Stoned* - This track has saved me more times than I can count during heavy journeys. Beautiful female vocals guiding you home after a night of pure insanity.
    *Once Upon a sea of blissful awareness* - Their most beautiful and relaxing track to date with not only fantastic vocals but complex and layered synthesizers designed to lift your soul right out from your body.
    *Empty Brains* - By far their most sonically complex and detailed track to date. Pure ear candy.
    *The Magumba State* - An auditory representation of a true ego death.
    *I Am You* - And you are me. The truth. The message. The point. If you know, you know.
    *Invisible Man In a Fluorescent suit* - Another track deeply meditative track filled with pure electronic ear candy meshed perfectly with Indian instruments and wooden flutes.
    *Around the World in a Tea Daze* - Their most diverse sounding track to date in my opinion, there's a little something for everyone in this track.
    Lastly id like to mention the Carnival of Peculiarities EP. Although it is not just one track it is not quite an album either. You have to listen to all 3 tracks in order to fully grasp the picture being painted. It is an absolute roller coaster of emotions and has the most atmospheric buildup of any shpongle track or album in my opinion. This is the only music ive ever been able to channel visions from while in a purely sober meditative state. It almost doesn't seem like music, its like pure meaning and syntax being downloaded into your minds eye.

      I'm sooooooo on it! For me, a lot of this journey is about finding music I've never heard. Even if my reactions all end up with me quietly dancing in my seat, I''LL DO IT!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣

      ​@@kiarashshafighiI absolutely love that song along with every other track in that album! Pure masterpiece! Those are just the tracks I feel like would be best for a newbie to react to but every piece of their work sends chills down my spine whenever I listen to it. Shpongle is definitely best experienced in their respective albums

      @@steveharmon6440 meh. Dancing is overrated anyway. All it is is a primitive mating call masquerading as something more profound or “artistic”
      The desire to dance and the desire to fuck are almost inseparable if you really think about. Ever noticed how most dance scenes include almost equal proportions of both sexes? There’s a reason the ladies like to dress the way they do for a night of dancing, and it’s not just because the physical exertion makes them sweaty.
      If people really cared about dancing for a higher purpose or whatever then artists should separate the sexes at every concert. There are no “good vibes” where men and women are mixed, only greed, jealousy and coveting.

    Your reaction to this was one of sheer bliss... absolutely spot on!
    By now you've no doubt delved deeper into the world of Shpongle and Simon Posford. For me, he's one of the greatest music producers ever. Every sound you hear has been skilfully engineered to appear in a precise place, at a precise time and at a precise frequency. This is a guy who knows his craft and is an absolute master.

    Love Shpongle. This is a great song, one of their best, which is pretty impressive considering it's their fifth album.
    Their third album is incredible; it has a bunch of short tracks that all flow together and don't lend themselves to reactions, but worth listening to on your own.

    Nice, a new Shpongle reaction video!
    Had a great time watching you discover this marvel of a band.
    Can't find the correct words since English isn't my native, but your reaction and voice tonality blends with Shpongle very well!
    Hope that doesn't sound creepy - I genuinely enjoyed the synergy!
    Peace! :3

    To hell with the glow sticks - what you need is FIRE staff or Poi. We would trance out and entertain a festival with fire - get seriously fit and ripped at the same time. I didn't need the drugs... the music and imagination was enough (most of the time).
