What music are you listening to right now?

I feel so ashamed... I've had the first three Shpongle albums but only really listened to the first one which I love a lot. I finally decided after having them for a year to give the other two a proper listen, and man do I love this stuff so much. This track is definitely a favorite of mine. I love how the first half or so is a bit melacholic, calming, and a bit nostaglic (or at least for me) and then it turns into a more upbeat as it goes toward the end. Hearing this live must be awesome.

Aye, Tales is a great album. Probably my favourite Shpongle.

Depending on mood I change between Tales and AYS? Great stuff.

Ya Tales and AYS are awesome. Nothing lasts.... Hmm, I like it. It isn't bad but I do dislike how it is split into 3 parts for every "song" if I understand why it was split like that. I probably should listen to the newer albums and see how they are. Still ashamed at myself about it though, but I'm trying to not overdo it by listening to the albums a million times, don't want to ruin the experience. I've also been listening to some Minilogue. I've only listened to their first album, Animals, so far but I like it.

Animals is great.

If you like minilogue you might like like their earlier Son Kite stuff, especially Minilogue

I actually own Son Kite's stuff! That's how I discovered Minilogue. Have you seen their synth setup and live stuff that Ableton did several months ago? Well regardless here it is:

Not seen those, will try to check them out later as I have been a fan of Son Kite/Minilogue for a long time but I really have to be in the right mood (Happy and relaxed) which unfortunately I am not right now. Now is time for faster more aggressive music. Rockin' the remix CD of Ten Spins Around the Sun presently

Darshan - Awakening

So I was doing some searching for some new stuff (and avoiding finishing my finals), and I saw that apparently this label shut down but briefly came back and gave out their stuff for free on mp3. I did some searching and nothing came up but for some dead links. Does anyone know where I can get their stuff? It can be free or paid, I'm interested in listening to some of their stuff after reading this thread that mentioned Darshan.

Loving this track! Flying Rhino sure had some awesome stuff.

You can buy some reasonable priced CDs on Discogs.

The first two re:evolution compilations are a good start.

For other reasonably priced CDs: Third Flight - Slipstream is great as is Fourth Flight - Velocity, Singularity and Singularity 2-001 are exceptional. Personally I love Plante Ben - Silver but it was too minimal for some.

If you're willing to spend a bit more, Black Rhino, White Rhino, Green Nuns of the Revolution - Rock Bitch Mafia, Darshan - Awakening, First Flight, Blue Planet Corporation - Blue Planet, Technossomy - Synthetic Flesh are all essential (but can be pricey)

Not sure what happened to the downloads though.

desysko · May 17, 2014

Well thanks for the help! Already have Blue Planet so that's one thing I can check off. I feel like that there's so many labels and artist that I have yet listened to and it makes me excited and frustrated at the same time. But Quite glad we live in a age where music can be found and bought relatively easy.

Indeed, there is so much music out there and we're unlikely to ever listen to a fraction of the music we might really love. It's a shame but there aren't enough hours in a lifetime :lol:
