jules Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I've been in love with most of his ventures for the better part of ten years. everything he touches is amazing. I'm a huge fan of the celtic cross and early shpongle area. he should be more appreciated I think. a lot of his stuff is well ahead of it's time and all of his material still stands up to this day. why no love watmm? especially you psychedelic lovers.
azatoth Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Trance is not cool around these parts. But agreed, Posford is a great producer and ahead of his time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8cGjsQuNnM One of my favourite tracks by him (collab with Process).
luke viia Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 imo his stuff is beyond cheeseball and i'm not a fan of his crybaby attitude about piracy.
Guest headonist Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Not bad! Prefer other downtempo projects out there like The Orb and FSOL. Edited July 16, 2011 by headonist

awepittance Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 this is a nice proto Shpongle project he did called Infinity Project that sounds very similar (perhaps more stripped down) to 'Are you Shpongled' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Seo9QPlcJM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq4Ob423S9s&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSXw1SnCNiQ&feature=related i love that Celtic Cross track you posted
awepittance Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 more shpongle side projects Mystery of the Yeti compilation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6q9HtooQWE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtwKAWuQb9U&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6sckN4loVE&feature=related
jules Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 holy crap I forgot about the yeti stuff!! thanks for posting that.
Guest Greg Reason Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I like how bent Shpongle get at times but the cheese does get overwhelming, and not in an endearing way He is undoubtedly a technically brilliant producer though
lumpenprol Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 there is nothing shameful about loving the first shpongle album. After that I think the drugs caught up with him - the flashes of brilliance became more intermittent, and the Mckenna fetishizing and world-music-pilfering more obnoxious. but yeah, that first album will always be among my favorites, I suspect. So lush and deep and pleasant.
azatoth Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 The first Shpongle album is a classic no matter how you slice it. Still sounds fresh. Second album actually made the world music influences work. I think Raja Ram might be behind most of the cheese and drugginess of Shpongle.
Swerm Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 Most by this guy don't exactly float me boat but Hallucinogen - In Dub is a good album
azatoth Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 That In Dub album is also excellent, but that's thanks to the genius of Ott, who also is one wicked producer.

So lush and deep and pleasant. check out 'Infinity Project' as well, it's like a cuter more FSOL version of the first Shpongle album in response to what Greg said, it's true his stuff does get into massively cheesy territory but he is unparalleled in certain production techniques. When it comes to using phasors, flangers and sweeping effects i don't think i've heard a producer do it better Edited July 18, 2011 by Awepittance

jules Posted July 19, 2011 Author Posted July 19, 2011 oh man, thank you so much for reminding me of this awp, it is a lost treasure. this brings back my shroom days... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tatfJQeRmMU
Poimandres Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Shpongle can be quite good, and he is undoubtedly a very talented producer. But I wish he'd drop the lame horns and other cheesy elements. Also, I haven't heard any new "sounds" from him in quite some time... it's all a little too predicatable abd samey these days.
Guest psytrancelove Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Huge Posford Fan.... But, Does anyone listen to Gunslinger? Check out their new music video, really like it, reminds me of posford, shpongle and infected tracks.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HDKo3aJYNn8
