Music reviews of Are You Shpongled?

Music Review: Shpongle newcomer
Rating: 5 Stars

Let me preface this review by saying that I am a new fan of Shpongle and have been listening to the music for less than a year. Simon Posford's creations with many other artists have opened up my eyes to a completely different genre of music and mindset as well. Simon has a true gift for electronic and ambient music and has such an imagination and vision for all of his works. A true artist creates something that makes his audience "feel" something, and the special thing about Shpongle's "Divine Moments of Truth" from the album "Are you Shpongled?" is that it brings out so many different feelings and emotions each time you listen to it, and these emotions are not restricted, but have such a broad spectrum of possibilities.
Shpongle's "Divine Moments of Truth" or DMT, is a perfect example of work that evokes a spectrum of emotions with each listen. I can personally say that I have been unbelievably tranquil and relaxed with DMT, and other times been extremely uncomfortable and on edge. Only a special artist can create work that does this and is exceptionally talented. The song is constantly taking you in a different direction, shifting in instrumentation, vocal interaction, and computerized interaction. There is one specific instance in the song that I did not notice until the 8th or 9th time I listened to it. In the middle of the song, what seems like random syllables to the audience soon becomes quite the subliminal message, "LSD to DMT". This is the first time the randomness comes to order in this specific part of the song, and recurs a couple of times later on in the song, suggesting the possibility of person experiencing some divine moment of truth through the usage of LSD. LSD, or Acid, is a psychedelic drug known for altering thought processes, altering closed and open eye visuals, the distortion of actual time, and bringing about of spiritual experiences and would only magnify the emotions one would experience if used while listening to DMT.
The strength of Shpongle is it's adaptability to so many different listeners. Each person's experience when getting "Shpongled" is completely unique and out of the ordinary. After listening to a couple of different tracks by Shpongle with a group of friends, including DMT, we discussed what we felt and what we imagined while listening. Each person's experience, while similar at times, what different between each person. I don't know that I had ever experienced music with that type of power and influence over a listener before Shpongle.
Russolo's "the art of Noises" and John Cage's experimentation with indeterminacy come to mind as significant historical stepping stones in electronic/ambient music that helped lay the foundation for Shpongle, as well as many other electronic, ambient, Goa artists such as Younger Brother, Dub Trees, and The Infinity Project. If you are not familiar with either of these composer's of the early 20th century, you might want to think about giving them a quick listen. One cannot help but appreciate the technology, composers, and artists that made Sphongle's "Divine Moments of Truth" possible for all of us to experience today.

Description of Are You Shpongled?

After making the epic ...And The Day Turned To Night track for the Eclipse album follows a whole album of this incredibly creative project - SHPONGLE - welcome to the weird world of Shpongle, where organic harmonies and melodies blend with the most cutting edge digital effects and modern production to bring you the kind of sonic sensations that will leave you seriously Shpongled! This surely is one of the albums of all time, groundbreaking, perimeter pushing edge of reality stuff that has made it an international classic. With the shelf life of a Californian Redwood these hyper-futuristic fusions may well be held in time forever.
