Cinos Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I've heard both yes and no. The yes would mean it's cut up in several other sections with unique names. That sounds logical to me, seeing as Beija already is a bit varying... Can anybody confirm/deny? I'm hell-bent on owning every Shpongle track ever made (and released), so will I have to buy this on some comp instead? Quote
banjankri Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Hard to say. Since it's not in the official tracklist on twisted.co.uk, i doubt it. I'm sure it'll appear on some future compilation, but the album has yet to be released, so maybe they'll make a last minute change and squeeze it in. But again, I doubt it (and fear it) Beija flor is great, but it would be sad to have it on the new album, since the whole fan community must have listened to it by now. I would prefer the album to be new tracks ONLY. So far, the only record I know that features Beija flor is the 12" Dorset perception single. Quote

Lemmiwinks Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Good God that must be the WORST Shpongle track ever... it was made for one purpose only: follow up on the commercial success of Dorset Perception... except Dorset Perception was a commercial success "by chance" (Simon and Raja just did their thing in the studio and commercial trance DJs stumbled on it, liked it and played it to the masses) whereas Beija was specifically composed to be enjoyed by the masses... it represents everything that's WRONG with Shpongle... I sure hope that it won't be on their next album. Quote

gusc Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 i personally think beija flor is everything shpongle is and has been and is ever going to be, in one song. Quote
sherlockalien Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 again some cheesy brazillian samples in this track... I really like how the ´bass´ starts at 3:20 though.. its quite.. jiggly, if you know what I mean.. and the little acoustic guitar a bit after is pretty nice too.. then it goes downhill, sounds very similar to their second cd, and that brazillian carnival sample sucks Quote
Insejn Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I hope that track never gets released. Because that is one damn shitty track imo! Can't believe they shat that out. Edit: It was released on a EP right? Well. Lets hope it stays off the album. Quote
Dajek Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I personnally think it's on, but there is always hope don't get me wrong, I like the track, but I surely like other Shpongle more (especially Are You Shpongled? stuff) Quote
seraph Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 I also hope they won't include that silly track on serious album if they are planning to release. I mean, the beginning is very good until the fourth minute where everything goes downhill. Raja Ram really knows how to destroy the atmosphere these days...I truly hope that the album will be in Are You Shpongled trippy structure... Quote
Cinos Posted February 3, 2005 Author Posted February 3, 2005 beija flor is fucking great imo 216357[/snapback] Word! Quote
Towelie Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 beija flor is great but iv heard it so goddamn many times i hope it wont be on the album Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 And you know how? I have high-placed friends at the CIA and they let me use their spy sattelites on week-ends, when the super-bowl is on. In exchange I give them a few baloons of laughing gas Quote
D3lirious Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Just give me something that sounds even a bit like "are you shpongled" and i´ll be a very happy man...beija flor or not! Quote
sherlockalien Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Just give me something that sounds even a bit like "are you shpongled" and i´ll be a very happy man...beija flor or not! 216417[/snapback] Im with you.. but if its something like ´tales of the inexpressive´ or whatever, I dont want it Quote
traveller Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 the 2nd third of beija flor is kinda are you shponglish.. imo Quote
Oopie Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 I prefer T.O.T.I. over A.Y.S. ....great mixing of world music and ambient bliss... Still, Shpongle has never been very high in my lists so it won't be end of the world for me if Shpongle 3 sucks. But I doubt it does. Quote
banjankri Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 Personally, I can't get enough of Shpongle. I enjoy both Are you Shpongled and Tales of the Inexpressible. Ï get geschtonkenflapped and Shpongled listening to either one of them. To me, it gets better each time you hear it. Though I am sad, that I learned about Shpongle so late. My timing was a wee bit off. Purchased Tales in '02 and got hooked on it and A.Y.S about 1 year later. That's the tricky part with Shpongle: I disliked it at first but after listening to it for awhile, I had an epiphany: This was the most beautiful music I've EVER listened to. Of course, at the time I was fed up with cheesy pop and crappy happy trance, so for me this was a welcome addition to my musical world. I love the samples and the weird sounds, the mood they produce and the images they create in my mind. Quote
tDR_shpongled Posted February 6, 2005 Posted February 6, 2005 I listened to it 3 times in the car today. It fucking rules! It just gets boring towards the end. The rest is great. I hope some of the last half is cut out on the album Quote
maxijazz. Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 the 2nd third of beija flor is kinda are you shponglish.. imo 216480[/snapback] yup.. agreed! its great Quote
