Guest dam10n Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 Right chaps, I need your help. I have got to interview Simon Posford, yes hallucinogen-shpongle-younger brother the one and only etc. The thing is, I'm at work right now and it's valentine's today so this evening is out too. I won't have time to think up any questions which I normally like to do over some quiet contemplation with the appropriate herbal catalyst etc... anybody got any ideas about what I could ask him in the interview? Cheers, muchos appreciated! Quote
Guest navigator Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 Yes!! When the %$*# releases he a new hallucinogen album ? :-) Quote
Guest mijis Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 maybe a selfish one but ask him if its true that he is comming to mexico for the time and space part two party in april 27 Thanks Quote
Guest ploof Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 -Many people who listen to shpongle on LSD or Mushrooms feel that one must listen at least once on psychedelics to fully appreciate the music. We know you are not telling listeners to use drugs, but do you think that someone really needs to listen to shpongle on LSD or Mushrooms to fully appreciate it? Quote

Guest Mike Indidginus Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 Will he lead the Glorious Marmoset Army into battle against Demi-Duchess Roopak and the all-seeing Qwacken? Please be sure to tell him that a simple yes or no answer will suffice. Oh yes, he'd better know that his chances for survival are slim too. Quote
Guest Protex Midget Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 That's a good question Ploof ! Here's a question: What do you think of the new minimal/progressive sound witch has entered psytrance? What is the future sound of psytrance going to sound like? Quote
Guest dam10n Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 hey I like the idea of asking about the new hallucinogen album maybe i'll flush his head down the toilet till he tells me when it'll come out. anybody here do a sideline in hired goons / concrete shoes? i'll ask about parties and stuff.... and the druggy one.. keep em coming Quote
Guest Andreas of Amygdala Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 I, like probably all other musicians here, would like to have just a tad of the tricks in his sleeve: 1. Which hard-/software does he use for effects? The phasing is incredible, it sounds like the parts move back and forth, up ad down, and even in and out of my head. The timestretches are also amazingly clean, and the effects on the female vocals on "Star Shpongled Banner"... Don't get me started! 2. Is there a nifty trick to do the staright->triolized (and vice-versa) "morphs"...? Other than doing it manually, that's a pain in the you know what 3. Does he use PC or Mac...? I've been wondering if I should change to Mac, as a lot of you know, and if his program only run on Mac... There you go - I WAN'T those phasers... 4. Where the H does his inspirations come from? I can't begin to imagine where the ideas for especially the Hallucinogen tracks comes from... That's probably because I don't do LSD, heheee... 5. I read somewhere, that he actually doesn't like most of his work particularly... So why on earth does he keep at it (I'm happy he does though...) - and what does he do about "writers block"? Again, I don't do LSD so I wouldn't know That's about it... I'll probably think of some more when it's all too late... Will the interview be published on PsyNews? Quote
Guest dam10n Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 mike your q wasn't posted when i started typing that response just now. i might ask him about the marmousets quackens and toasters stuff though it might compromise my journslistic integrity as well as anger the great chrome dualit eight-slice that whispers orders to me in the night.

Guest Protex Midget Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 Maybe you could ask him to spare some time and give a listen to some of the tracks in the contest, and then he could say what he thinks about them. I think it would be great to have your work reviewed by Simon Posford. (don'y play him all the tracks, just a few of them like, ehh, ahh, ohh i don't know, maybe, ehhh, the Ectopile track... hehe) Quote

Guest dam10n Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 i heard he hates the internet? maybe I an ask him about that Quote
Guest [tom jaimz] Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 Things I'd ask Simon Posford. o At what stage did he make the conscious decision to shy away from the Hallucinogen sound and explore the Shpongle sound. Does he feel that it's a major transition to go from writing Hallucinogen tunes to Shpongle tunes, and does he now feel more comfortable with the Shpongle sounds? o How does he feel about the public opinion that there exists a Hallucinogen 'sound'? Originally, he was a true innovator, yet now all of his releases have the same Posford sound - instead of bringing us entirely new sounds, he merely shows us another face of the Posford shape. Was this a motivator in his move the the Shpongle sound? If he was to move wholly back into the Hallucinogen sound, would we expect to hear the same ideas we heard with Twisted and Lone Deranger, or would he explore the more mature minimal sounds, reflecting the trends of the releases of his label [Midi Miliz, Synthetic, ect]. That's all I can think of. Well, that's all I can think of that wouldn't offend him. Like, for example, I wouldn't want you to ask him whether or not he thinks still performing live sets consisting almost 80% of tracks he wrote five years ago could be considered as selling out. Oh, ask him if he's secretly producing disco house tracks with Nick Taylor and Tsuyoshi. Quote
Children Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 Uuurgh ! Maybe you could send us the interview for the "interviews" section ? ;-) Cause he's damn hard to interview ! Quote
Guest Mescalinium Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 I can only think of one question right now, namely: You've written and produced what, in many people's minds, are the greatest classic goa song, the greatest classic goa album, and the greatest psy-ambient album. You've started your own influential and groundbreaking label. You've worked and collaborated with many of the greatest producers/pioneers in trance today. Your music has uplifted, influenced, impacted, and inspired listeners the world over. What left is there for you to accomplish? Quote
Guest AtomikElf Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 "or would he explore the more mature minimal sounds" - you mean "the more boring minimal sounds" don't you?? hehe relax.....no flame war please - i just couldn't resist ¦) Quote
Guest Andreas of Amygdala Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 "Soooo, Simon... Here it comes - the question we've all been dying to hear a reply for: Blondes or brunettes?". Hahahahahaaa... A very imature joke, I know - sorry, it won't happen again Quote
Guest adfmjsa Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 what about redheads? Now your offending all the redheads here. what a jerk - thats not a funny joke. im offended waaaaaaaaaaaa im outta here Quote
Guest DeLaSoul Posted February 14, 2002 Posted February 14, 2002 Q: Will there ever going to be more Celtic Cross albums? Quote
