Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

 Nothing lasts but Simon Posfords brain thankfully.

From project to project he continues to surprise me. Shpongle is nothing like Hallucinogen and Younger Brother is nothing like Shpongle. Its unfair someone can skip genre's so... effortlessly.
Anyway, this album is epic. When I bought it I listened to it almost exclusively for a month straight. The sound production is incredible and the flow of the album (it really should be listened to start to finish) takes you on a ride through Simon's brain as well as a trip across the world as he mixes elements from different world styles. At times ambient, other times chaotic, some times it makes you want to dance, others to just meditate all in the course of an hour CD. The transition from Levitation Nation into Periscopes of Perception transports me to the desert charging into battle atop an elephant geared for war and the tones just hit this certain place in my head that causes a shortness of breath, almost like an adrenaline surge.
Another interesting thing about this and all Simon's work is the album's are almost completely different pieces of music depending on volume. When its quiet it makes it nice to fall asleep to, when its midrange it makes good background music when you need to concentrate and when its turned all the way up it takes over your body and starts kicking a series of emotions into overdrive.
Do not buy this expecting an album from Hallucinogen. I wouldn't even really call this trance in the generally accepted ideas of the genre. It has elements of trance, ambient, breaks, a movie score and a video game. |

This is one of those records, like Art of Noise - In Visible Silence, or Eno/Byrne - My Life...it suggests new possibilities and approaches that have not yet been explored fully. It is also very good music. All in all - a well-composed, manic, psychedelia-tinged global acid-house mashup of epic staying power.
Fantastic acoustic playing and dreamstate vocals collide with custom digital manipulations, and are whipped up together into a luscious storm of sound and groove.
It's not a bunch of great 'songs'. There's plenty of those already. What we have here is a series of intoxicating rhythms and harmonies in complementary modes of energy.
Highly Recommended for the musical adventurer in you. |

| Quite simply, this album is the ultimate evolution of psychedelic trance and ambient electronica - an experience akin to an aural "vision quest". Long live Shpongle! |

| This album is an experience of sound and I just can't get enough of it. Just when you think you know where the music going, they change it up and keeps you intrigued throughout. No doubt, one of my favorites. |
