PsychoMachine42 Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 a report from the people Simon stayed with in SF says that the new album sounds alot like the first album did, but better...if Beija Flor is anything to go by, I think we're going to be blown away. Quote
tDR_shpongled Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 Cinos, DubTrees -NatureNeverDidBetrayTheHeartThatLovedHer. Is quite amazing. It's cold, scary, sometimes playful. Very quality album. If you loved the Yeti albums then I highly recommend this one " report from the people Simon stayed with in SF says that the new album sounds alot like the first album did" Oh I wish I was one of those people. I thought the 1st half of Beija Flor was almost like AreYou? album. then the 2nd half was like Inexpressable. I cannot imagine it being better then the 1st album though? Better then a few tracks maybe. But overall?? Ill just blow my load! Quote

Ill just blow my load! 203253[/snapback] I think it could... after all, it IS the last Shpongle album. And they should end it with a huge crescendo of what it began with... just whoah. I'll preorder it immediately when it is possible. I haven't even heard Beija Floor yet, and if that track is half as good as people say. Quote
Frontier Psychiatrist Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 This topic will have like 8 pages before this album will be released. I bet on December 2005. You? Quote
traveller Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 i bet my arse there wont be any samples, not at the twisted website atleast.. Quote
Dragonflier Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 I really hope that this album will be released asap, so that Simon can turn his attention to the Eat Static vs Hallucinogen album. That's what I'm looking forward to. But with Twisted's usual release delayments I prolly shouldn't get my hopes too high... Quote
tDR_shpongled Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Younger brother turned out quite bad. thats why im not looking forward to the Eat static one. Is it pure psy? or chill? My bet: September 04. My hope: Jan 04. im preordering at a few places. who knows which one is goign to get it first! Quote
Moai Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Younger brother turned out quite bad. thats why im not looking forward to the Eat static one. Is it pure psy? or chill? 203368[/snapback] i've heard a bit of one track and that track is 4 on the floor.. expect something.. different and experimental! as for younger brother it was THE release of 2003!!

Dragonflier Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 My hope: Jan 04. 203368[/snapback] A little too optimistic, don't you think? Quote
seraph Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 I think that no matter when they released it, people will still buy it no matter the content. Shpongle became synonym for trippy ambient and I bet everyone will get it, no matter when. I just truly hope there won't be more of the Beja Flor non sense on this album. That song could have been better but Raja Ram ruined it at the end. It just sounded too disco/samba for my taste. Where is the trippiness ? I hope well for the album. Quote
tDR_shpongled Posted November 29, 2004 Posted November 29, 2004 It just sounded too disco/samba for my taste. Where is the trippiness ? 203444[/snapback] way too much samba. If they included some trippy riff i think it would have been alright. Or maybe some more weird voices. However my only complaint is that the track is too long. The beginning drags on a bit, and so does the end. Quote
tower Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 Cant wait for this album. I heard Simon play some of the new stuff at Earthcore and we are all in for a treat. Quote
kabamaru Posted November 30, 2004 Author Posted November 30, 2004 can you give a brief description? Quote
Nomad Posted November 30, 2004 Posted November 30, 2004 My mate Peacefrog/Tantra mentioned this - can't wait for the release (eventually lol)...If it's any thing like Shpongled which I played to death (along with stashbag) - well as I say - can't wait.. As for it being the last? Who knows but best to leave on a high than on a downer IMHO.. Nomad Quote
tDR_shpongled Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 " I heard Simon play some of the new stuff at Earthcore and we are all in for a treat." I came in here to tell you guys about that! TOWER, are you in Melbourne? I went to the Earthcore Afterparty last night. IT WAS SO F****KN AMAZING! :D :D :D :D Simon was aweosome, peoples throats were hurting from the screams! He played Beija Flor, after that he played a few other tracks which sounded shponglish but you can never tell if its from 'nothing lasts' It's so hard to remember but here Description: -One track was very drumNbassy type (like the begining of BeijaFlor) -It had happy lyrics or chants which were quite trippy. -Behind it was a bit of which sounded like Raja's flute. -There was also a sound which was much like the long violin type sound in "...Blissful Awareness" -Then there was an Indian flute which repeated itself many times. The tune went on for around 8 seconds. -Overall very heavy in the drums. I met RAJA!!!! He was so fun to talk to! I gave him a huge hug and we took some photos together. DAMN IT!! I just realised i forgot to ask about how 'nothing lasts' was coming along! After that Eat Static came up which was completely nuts!!! One of the best nights of my life thats for sure. Highlight: meeting Raja EDIT: OH WAIT!! I was just taking another look through NL tracklist, and I think the track i mentioned above is "When shall i be free" !! It feels like ive heard those lyrics in the song. I could be wrong Quote
MattMan Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Hey Matt, just finished shpongle 3... i am very pleased - it is an extremely 'mature' album, and more psychedelic than the last one! it won't be out for a while, as we haven't even started the artwork yet, and i am away for 6 weeks.... maybe feb/march.... all the best simon p.

slyman604 Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 Does anyone else think its kind of cool that this could be the last album? I mean it will be kind of lame after calling it "nothing lasts" to bring out something else. That seems to be the perfect ending to shpongle, especially if the last track is some masterpiece(how could it not be?) Quote

Is it a good thing that it's ending? Cannot answer yet. Every good thing comes to an end - but it doesnt have to. Hmm Quote
