Shpongle

Well, to start things of, Shpongle is a music group that produces so called trance music. The thing about shpongle is that they have kind of created a new genre in the trance world. One might say that it lay somewhere in between Ambient and psytrance. All tracks that shpongle has released is different though. Some is clearly psytrance and some is clearly Ambient trance and a few of the tracks is not possible to catagorize. You might say that these tracks belong in the 'Shpongle trance' section :)
What makes shpongle so unique is that they mix electronic dance/trance music with regular instruments and they also seem to take alot of inspiration from folkmusic around the world. You can hear some relations to spanish, india, african countries among others. It's up to you how you interpret the music.
Shpongle consist of two main musicians, Raja Ram and Simon Posford. Raja Ram being the one who figures out melodies, texts for the tracks, the groundwork if you will. Raja Ram also plays his silver flute in alot of the tracks Simon Posford is the one who makes the electronic part of the music (Synth programming) and also plays some guitar.

WOW environments look)

What does Shpongle mean?
Nobody knows... It's not a english word, that's for sure.
Rumor has it though that one day Raja Ram said: "I'm feeling shpongled"

"A multi-verse not very far away where queues and noise don't exist neither pain nor fear, scary faces or bad smells...just peace and pieces, and perfect weather :) Sucking the big toe of humanity, your armchair turns into an aural spacecraft, catapulting you through the veils of reality and consciousness into a psychedelic adult theme park: Sonar Ballistickle, Soma sucking cyber sorcerers floating weightlessly on the threshold of bliss, creating psycho-geometric, atomic telepathic shimmering incandescent dream dilations. This hybrid exotic seretonin drenched electro-plasmic dripping brain forest moves with endless hallucinogenic changing patterns while, unnoticed a million angels dance on a pinhead. Fun-Shui, Phrenological escapology; the divine moment of truth...the inevitability of the unexpected - the vortex of the cortex. Knowing what we don't know, while sampling the cosmos; from the darkness to the light; from the unreal to the real....from death to immortality...

...Lets Get Shpongled!" :)
