TSAD Winter Resurrection: Shpongle!



All credit goes to my friend Adam on this find ... He introduced me to Shpongle a few years back and I didn't really give it a shot until recently. It's definitely music for current or former users of psychedelic drugs so if that's you, give it a listen!

From Wikipedia ...
Shpongle is an English psychedelic downtempo/psybient music project formed in 1996. The group includes Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram (one third of The Infinity Project). Their musical style combines eastern ethnic instruments and vocals with contemporary western synthesizer-based psychedelic music. When asked to describe Shpongle's music, Posford has responded that it is "like nothing you've ever heard before."

Now if that description alone doesn't get you excited about a project, we definitely have different tastes in music. My suggestion is to give it a listen now, and then come back to it at the right moment and the right state of consciousness ... How will you know when that moment will be? you'll just know ....
