Music reviews of Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost (27 May 2005)
Music Review: sure wasnt anything lost
Rating: 5 Stars
itz about friggin time, iv owned this a week before it even came out in late 2005 on an internet special.
this is a little different, instead of long songs in the 16 min mark simon descided to chop all the long tracks that he had to make them verry short, longest song at 4:47min. the vocals are amazing on when shall i be free, in a way explaning to all their fans why they are leaving in a way or to give them hope for this is said to be their last record. a shame for i think that raja ram is getting quite old, im not sure if that has anything to do with their letting shpongle go. but they will be missed as 1 of the greatest electronic fusion group ever. their other 2 albums also showcase their amazing blend of music from around the world, such as tablas an indian percussion instrument, raja's various flutes, ghantoms from morroco, & manny others. im not really a fan of trance or techno, even hallucinogen getts a bit to techno-y for me, but shpongle's new breed of dub reggae influinced trance. cause their rythms to all follow the standard techno repetative rythm, they feel it always fresh with x-tremelly rythmic patterns, from hip hop style to reggae to rock to india. their stuff never gets old or borring.
their isnt a single space of downtime on this album, each song goes to the next with the same energy that the next carried. the beginning is more electronic beated flowing into more rock & eastern influince. anyway i know youll enjoy this album if your looking for the perfect trip to take you on a ride through electronic fields of psychodelic wonderland. long live shpongle, nothing does last, but simon will be back so nothing is lost yet.
the following is from the twisted records website.
Shpongle is back, with a new album, 'Nothing Lasts' a reference to Terence Mckenna and one of their many influences, the imitable audio pioneers, Simon Posford & Raja Ram remind us not only the about the impermenance of life but also how to rewrite the ambient agenda with yet more spell binding music from their outer cosmos that is 'Shpongle'. With sonic waves in a sea of synths, battalions of brazilian batucada beats, flamenco solo's, piano solo's, vocal soarings from Hari Om and trancey dubs this really is more music from the otherworld. A place of undefinable and indescribable beauty where all cultures collide, genres are rode over roughshot, and nothing is outlawed. For those that know them these will be sentiments they recognise and welcome as further evidence of Shongle's reputation. To those that don't, welcome to a new universe one with it's own language and musical map, a place of beauty and impermenance.
