Time_Trap Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 So ? One might argue that the genres are different, but then again, every musical project is different from another and in the end we are merely talking about electronic 'downtempo' music with ambient elements in both cases. My vote goes to FSOL without much thought. Quote
qa2pir Posted April 3, 2009 Posted April 3, 2009 Shpongle by heart and for loved memories. Not trying to get objective here. All music is good Quote
Oopie Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 FSOL isn't bad but.. Shpongle. Cmon guys that's music of its own league. Quote
Redington Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I may be biased towards Shpongle since I haven't heard enough of FSOL to really vote objectively in this poll. Quote
Goa-Head Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Comparing such to bands on psynews, obviously you know who the winner will be.... FSOL started around 1991 and they were pioneers of music completely ahead of their time. Shpongle became famous in 1998. You can't compare both given the time they hit the scene. Quote

Comparing them to the ozrics or orbital would make sense As far as pure objectivity and the poll is concerned, music wise, fsol has a discography that other groups cannot hold a candle to Quote
Kryll Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 definitely FSOL for me the landscape u get while hearing their album Dead Cities for example is far more of a trip than shpongle imo (which i find dull uninspiring music) As far as pure objectivity and the poll is concerned, music wise, fsol has a discography that other groups cannot hold a candle to QFT !

bwhale Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Shpongle is mostly crap music, so I vote FSOL by default. Stop sucking Simon Posford's dick because he made 1 good track in 1994. Quote
Goa-Head Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 FSOL have crossed all styles of electronic music. Shpongle only psybient/dub/downtempo fused with world elements occasionally. I can't vote in this poll, sorry, 2 totally different bands in a totally different period + FSOL's discography weighs a 100 tons. Quote
Time_Trap Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 FSOL isn't bad but.. Shpongle. Cmon guys that's music of its own league. I would say exactly the opposite Quote
kathmandu Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 I may be biased towards Shpongle since I haven't heard enough of FSOL to really vote objectively in this poll. I have heard enough of FSOL and I have to quote "FSOL isn't bad but.. Shpongle. Cmon guys that's music of its own league. " Quote
psytones Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 QFT ! = Quote Fucking That? Stop sucking Simon Posford's dick because he made 1 good track in 1994. Quote
CosmoNaughty Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Although I listen to psychedelic downtempo stuff most of the time I've got to say Shpongle are rubbish ! I'd rather listen to pretty much anything else they're self indulgent noodly and their tunes don't seem to work for me on any level. Quote
Dolmot Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 (random BS)Ah, the twat has arrived. How many flaming sock puppets are you going to create on this forum? http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/180330 http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/183630 Grow up. Quote
Go-Goa Trancer Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Ah, the twat has arrived. How many flaming sock puppets are you going to create on this forum? http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/180330 http://www.discogs.com/groups/topic/183630 Grow up. Héhé, the weird thing is he rated all Posford releases 5/5 on his Discogs account I personally vote FSOL because I don't really like the Dub vibe that is very dominant in Shpongle, and the singings are not well made to my taste. Though I do enjoy Are You Shpongled? every now and then. Quote
Rotwang Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Not easy, but I think I'm going to have to go with FSOL. But that's probably largely because I associate them more with my formative years listening to electronic music. Quote
Lemmiwinks Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 how bout secret option no. 3: neither? Personally, as much as I respect both groups for their efforts, I must say that neither recieves my 100% aproval rating, simply because there are too many duds among their releases... Quote
Redington Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Shpongle is mostly crap music, so I vote FSOL by default. Stop sucking Simon Posford's dick because he made 1 good track in 1994. If you're going to troll here, at least put some effort into it. = Quote Fucking That? Or "Quoting For Truth" Quote
