Cinos Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 I'd say that Shpongle is the best he's done. And what about worst? While I wouldn't call it bad, Younger Brother is a bit uninspired... Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 best: Shpongle worst: ... Hallucinogen (!!) Quote
Tatsu Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 My favourite is Hallucinogen for sure, the worst maybe is Beast (Spawn EP). Didn't like this EP too much. I'd also appreciate it if he would make more psy than ambient because I don't like ambient too much (but I have to agree that the first Shpongle album and Hallucinogen In Dub are masterpieces). But that's just my taste... Quote

Tatsu Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 It's dark full-on psy, if I remember right. I've only listened once to the EP and didn't like it much. About a list with all releases I can only think about www.discogs.com Quote
traveller Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 hallucinogen in dub sure isn't a posford project.. the worst would be Growlmonizer.. Quote
Guest .::E.P Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 Most of the later stuff sound outdated. Some good old stuff when the sound was still fresh Quote
krelmatrix Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 My favourite is Hallucinogen for sure, the worst maybe is Beast (Spawn EP). Didn't like this EP too much. 202355[/snapback] Funny - for me, this is the best project Simon has had his hand in and damn near one of the best psy-trance tunes I've heard. I wouldn't call any of Posford's projects *bad*, but I've never really gotten into the Younger Brother stuff so much. Quote
seraph Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 All of Simon projects are good except Younger Brother that is average. Best Hallucinogen and Shpongle. Quote
Insejn Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 hallucinogen in dub sure isn't a posford project.. 202368[/snapback] Well. The sleve says "Written by Ott / Simon Posford" but also "Programmed, mixed, produced by Ott" so maybe he had a smal impact on the tracks. And he plays the guitar on almost every track. Wether it's not enough to call it a Posford project or not can be discussed. Quote
Basilisk Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 What now! Beast is fantastic!! I wish they'd work together again (Process + Posford)... I couldn't think of a bad Posford project until someone mentioned Growlmonizer. There ya go. Quote
subatomic vision Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 What now! Beast is fantastic!! I wish they'd work together again (Process + Posford)... I couldn't think of a bad Posford project until someone mentioned Growlmonizer. There ya go. 202439[/snapback] Growlmonizer and the old name he used for ambient (...euhm...no NOT Celtic Cross, earlier) Quote
Guest djnemo Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Ok, I heard Beast Mentioned, and I ripped the vinyl for yall so you can have a preview of it and make up your own opinions. I dont think its too bad that release really.... but here they are (Non full tracks, im not going to incriminate myself here on this board) http://www.esknetlabs.com/mp3/beast_-_spawn.mp3 http://www.esknetlabs.com/mp3/beast_-_trouble.mp3 Enjoy! (Or not hehe) Quote
Tatsu Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Thanks for the samples! They sound a bit better than I had them in my mind. But this project is still the one I like the last (which doesn't mean it is crap or something). But you people know which EP I love a lot and hasn't been mentioned here so far? Infernal Machine - Loin King / The Loins Sleeps tonight. Great, wicked and fast psy! Anybody knows and likes it? Quote
seraph Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Of course we know it. It was demented piece of music his Infernal Machine project with Nocturnal Chainsaw Kerfuffle song too...But I also liked Beast - Spawn very much. Quote
traveller Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 by the way has anyone ever heard the mp3 - hot 4 u (twst10) 12" ? http://www.twisted.co.uk/singles/twst10.html ? Quote
Frontier Psychiatrist Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 Best: Shpongle Worse: Simon + Ott on a Trance tune. Hallucinogen - The Beatiful People. His worse tune ever. IMHO. Quote
Infra Posted November 17, 2004 Posted November 17, 2004 Great at least One human being who like the spawn project more than me =) I really love this one, Its a little bit darker and more twisted... Quote
Chrome Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 and maybe link to something that lists all Posford projects? 202357[/snapback] Maybe http://www.shpongle.com/hallucinogen/life-discography.htm? My opinion, Spawn is not the worst project (while Shpongle is not the best ). And even the worst Simon's project overcomes most of the others'. Quote
Alek Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Hallucinogen the best without a doubt! Dub Trees and Celtic Cross were the least special probably... @subatomic vision: Dub Trees? Hallucinogen sure as hell is a Posford project... perhaps you don't understand the concept of mixing? True OTT added new stuff, but most of it (as well as the basis of the whole project) was old Posford material. Quote
traveller Posted November 25, 2004 Posted November 25, 2004 Yes Hallucinogen is a Posford project, on the other hand Hallucinogen In Dub would be like 99% Ott. Not that I was there on the time of creation to witness it all but that's the picture I've got anyways. Ott did everything apart from the guitars and the bass Quote
Oopie Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 can't name only 1 best project that Simon is part of...Shpongle, Dup Trees and Hallucinogen are maybe above the rest...or maybe not worst is...ummm...fly agaric i must say. that one song made by f.a. isn't really that good so...easy pick Quote

dee Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 hallucinogen was defenitely the best worst i would say shpongle becouse of tracks that are the worst shit ever,,,, hallucinogen doesnt really have bad tracks, concidering also that it was made earlier than shponlge and still it have its power and freshnes,, hehe anyways that what i think..

Towelie Posted November 26, 2004 Posted November 26, 2004 yeahh!!! enough of goddamn pakko ruotsi .. even tho i dont have it ever again but for the poor bastards that start school nowdays Quote
