Guest Astyanax Posted July 20, 2000 Posted July 20, 2000 Only one word can decribe the whole cd: PERFECTION! Quote
Guest ir0nm0nk3y Posted July 27, 2000 Posted July 27, 2000 It walks the line between mellow and skin-tingling energy. Great when you want to chill out but not fall off. DMT alone is worth the price of this album. 9/10. Quote
Guest Baboon Posted August 13, 2000 Posted August 13, 2000 I just can´t stop smiling when I see all happy and shpongled people who salut this album.... It truly is a real thunder hit album, soooo great twisted melodies, pure Simon and Raja Ram stuff... probably two of the greatest producers ever and 4ever! 11/10 !!!! DMT is.... is, hmmmm..... I just can´t find any words for it =) One of the best tracks I´ve heard.... Keep up the vibes Simon and Raja !!!!! See you all in shpongle land.............*poff* Quote
Guest phase2 Posted August 15, 2000 Posted August 15, 2000 inhale the plasticy vapors and listen to the sounds vibrate, flagellate and ripple.....Simon and Raja Ram managed to download the essense of the experience onto a CD. 10/10. It is amazingly well produced. critiques: I really don't like Jungle beats, even though simon has done some of the very trippiest ever. it would me smoother with no Jungle. The distoried voices on D.M.T. sound a little strange, but the recreatiion of the giggling "Tryptamine Elfs" of psychedelic lore is authentic and spot on! Quote
Guest X - Dreamer in NYC Posted August 17, 2000 Posted August 17, 2000 I can't fall asleep without it. This cd rules because it is so smooo........th Quote
Guest [Anonymous] Posted September 16, 2000 Posted September 16, 2000 This is the 2nd best trance CD of all time- only behind X-dream "Radio"...nothing is better than that CD! Thanx. Quote
Guest "MuZ" Posted September 17, 2000 Posted September 17, 2000 I have never found a CD better than this. Its amazing. It takes you so far away from reality. I think anyone could enjoy this, whether they like trance or not. As perfect as I've ever heard. Quote

Guest ilovesweden[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted October 3, 2000 Posted October 3, 2000 4.03.. track 1.. more grass?? sure, neighbour... it´s soooooo gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood Quote
Guest WestBam Posted October 7, 2000 Posted October 7, 2000 I think this is not trance....... So........ WHY IS IT HERE? THE NAME OF THE SITE IS GOATRANCE, NOT FUCKING AMBIENT But it's still a good album 10/10 Quote
tbe Posted October 12, 2000 Posted October 12, 2000 To WestBam : Psychedelic ambient is a part of trance music....Trance can be melodic, minimalist, ambient, tribal,...but it's still Trance...Anyway, I agree with you, this album is 10/10. Quote
Guest Ehsanur Posted October 17, 2000 Posted October 17, 2000 smoked some nice icthy-bitcy stuff.....yaaaak! I am falling backwards,falling...falling....falling.... falling.....freefall- Let this be your mantra! Shpongle is doing the THING for me now.....I can see the purity in the truth in the art in the perfection in the product in the SHPONGLE. 1000000/10 Bom Shankar-Eshanti Brahman Quote
Guest slinker Posted October 18, 2000 Posted October 18, 2000 Easily the most beautiful and powerful album i have ever heard or am likely to hear...dont bother reading reviews or downloading tracks..just buy the damn album, and get a spare copy too..coz you would commit suicide if anything ever happened to it!!! Infinity/10 Bring on the sequel change my life once more =^,^= Quote
Guest aricz Posted October 30, 2000 Posted October 30, 2000 mmm, best album i've heard. this is a killer, extremely well done tracks, easy to get into, can be both chill and takeoff (depends on your mood of course). all tracks are really great, but 'shpongle falls', 'behind closed eyelids' and 'divine moments of truth' are the real standouts. 9/10 Quote
Guest svidmar[at]hotmail[dot]com Posted November 12, 2000 Posted November 12, 2000 Best ambient EVER made, BUY BUY BUY!!! It's soooooo beuatifull and the soundscapes are incredible!!!! 10/10 Posford and Ram, you are truly Goods! Quote
Guest }Evilben{ Posted November 27, 2000 Posted November 27, 2000 omg,"...And the day turned to night" (track 7 ) is the best ambient-bigbeat track i've ever heard ! Pretty good album... i give 9.5/10 Quote
Guest Diepeveen Posted December 18, 2000 Posted December 18, 2000 I just bought this album today... And i could kill my self! I don't know how i can have missed it... I have had 2 years...

Guest [Anonymous] Posted January 6, 2001 Posted January 6, 2001 En el futuro..yo quiero ser como simon; In the future, I want to be equal to Simon Posford.IMPRESIONANTE, 10/10 Quote
Guest Hohenzollern[at]angelfire[dot]co Posted January 15, 2001 Posted January 15, 2001 I had heard this album on MP3 before. Not to great sounding, some distortion in lows and highs, tracks did not mix [errors in beginning and end of MP3, and MP3 player would not load the files fast enough to maintain continuity], etc... Needless to say, it doesn't do justice for the actual CD "Are You Shpongled?" [after waiting weeks!]. The sound quality is amazing, breathtaking virtual soundscapes will stop your heart in mid-contraction! If you have audiophile level stereo equipment in your home, it will sound like perfection on a CD. The MP3's off the internet [224KBit encoding (weird bitrate, never seen a codec that writes that rate)] did not sound good at all comparatively. Buy this album. Spend your life savings to get a copy. Simon Posford is a god of musical composition and technology. Enjoy this album, it provides days of listening enjoyment! Can't rate this out of 10, best album ever. Quote
Guest Thexorro Posted January 17, 2001 Posted January 17, 2001 no sex....no drugs...and no rock&roll.ONLY SHPONGLE.11/10 Quote
Guest Ravemail10 Posted February 4, 2001 Posted February 4, 2001 Where is Shpongleland? A Multiverse not very far away, where Queues and Noise don't exist, neither pain nor fear, scary faces or Bad Smells... just peace & pieces, and perfect weather :-) Sucking the big toe of humanity, your armchair turns into an aural spacecraft, catapulting you through the veils of Reality & consciousness into a Psychedelic theme park: Sonar ballistkicle soma-sucking cyber-sorcerers, floating weightless on the threshold of Bliss, creating psycho-geometric Atomic Telepathic shimmering incandescent Dream dilations. This hybrid Exotic serotonin-drenched electroplasmic dripping Brain-forest moves with endless Hallucinogenic patterns while, unnoticed, a million Angels dance on a pinhead. Fun-shui, Phrenological Escapology; The Divine Moment of Truth... the inevitability of the unexpected - the Vortex of the Cortex. Knowing what we don't Know, while sampling the cosmos; From the Darkness to the Light; from the Unreal to the Real... from death to immortality... Let's get Shpongled! - The cover of Shpongle. Every single word of this is true. The best downtempo album ever made with no possible argument. Anyone who does not like it is not human. A square 10/10, no less. - Shpongled Raven Quote
