Shpongle Empty Branes REACTION and Breakdown | Decomposers Point of View
![[TH] Esports World Cup : Grand Final](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sedbKhFYDMo/mqdefault.jpg)
”Divine Moments of Truth” is the seminal, most essential track by Shpongle. An absolutely great band and song
I love this track, however the track I use to introduce people to Shpongle is Ineffable Mysteries. When the beat kicks in with that kinda latin horn section...oh it hits you haha
Both of these (as well as Behind Closed Eyelids to an extent) are the Shpongle tracks I use to introduce people to the music depending on what I think will resonate the most.
Dude, that song blows me away
Around the world in a tea daze too
Around the World in a Tea Daze is where it's at, indeed.
This is the first time I've seen a reaction to this band! We started with Tool and now here we are with Shpongle. Glad I subscribed man
I'm all over the place but on thing is constant - I love music of all types :)
That's the journey of a serious musical psychonaut in the making right there.
Shpongle albums are great to listen to while making art Or love, or both at the same time 😅
@@KeyOfGeebz please consider Buckethead with 'Soothsayer', 'Aunt Suzie' or just about whatever :) you will enjoy
These are both amazing bands.
Mandatory: Shpongle - DMT
This one is my go to request! 😁
@@Easy_Skanking it'd be the first react video to it as well
gotta be the recording of the Danny Gomez flash video. his artwork is awsome!
do do do dmt!
Actually, yes, and it will be more fun to decompose - there are a lot of cool time signature transitions there aat the very least!
The requester should have added a side note: "Review after gummy bears kick in." Lol
RIGHT??? :D
🤦♂️🤦♂️OMG - I said Spongle "Barns" in the intro - So Sorry to the artist - mi so bobo decomposer fail. ALSO, just know that I LOVE this type of sonic artistry and plan on diving deeper into the Trip-Hop Psychedelic EDM and all things D&B and onward with this channel so hang in there for more. Awwwwwright!!! 🤙🤙
All good mate hahha, but give this one a crack, I reckon your listeners will get a kick out of it th-cam.com/video/8CXhYAiPIZY/w-d-xo.html
I'd recommend Sweet September by Vibrasphere. Kind of in the same vein of psychedelic trance. There's a lot going on in that song that you would pick up on and appreciate.
The style is goa trance or psy trance, if you want to check out a band that splits the difference between psy trance and progressive rock, lucid planet, their second album dips into some trance in a very pleasing way, I highly recommend especially the song entrancement
@@Zoxinsox far out man, I just checked them out, you are so right, awesome band, I’ll be getting into the discography tonight, thanks bro
by the way, the genre name you are looking for is Psybient, closely related to psychill and psytrance, but with more elements of tradtional/tribal music
OMG I would never expect this in a 1000 years
Started from Tool and going to my old jam, psychedelic trance. So glad we get here
@@siddharthiyer1120 Same here! So happy to be right here, right now! :)
Invisible man in a fluorescent suit.
That is shpongle's greatest musical masterpiece
I love that song as well, the 2nd final live band night at rr opened with it, and its one of the absolute best moments in an entirely incredible show, thanks in no small part to Raja's intro, brings a tear to my eye just remembering it, just a wall of emotion and sonic power. Chills.
@@Tandycakes159 I was at that show. I cried before he even mentioned the man in his intro story, because I heard the little chirps from the start of the song. Best show of my life.
@@mortmortmort8908 ayyyy you and me both homie!
Crazy that he's reacting to one of the only shpongle songs I haven't heard.
2nd half of that is super sublime....transcendent !
Shpongle live with the entire band , raja ram and posford is truly a psychedelic masterpiece
Was at there last live show both nights..... It was amazing!
with how concept-piece shpongle albums are to certain regions of the globe i think it would be amazing if they had some sort of colab with Heilung for an old norse proto germanic style album
Can confirm, was at RR for the final 2 live band shows, greatest musical experience of my life (out of hundreds)
Red rocks baby!!!
Was there may the 4th, maybe the best moment of my life
Younger brother, Ott, Ozric Tentacles
Good stuff in the same vein
hey hey hey!! My top 3 artists!
Yezsss, those are indeed really awesome...!!! i also recommend the band MantisMash :D
Has an really similar vibe to it~
You can compare it more to Ott then Sphongle tough ^^
Shulman are also amazing.
Shpongle! Amazing choice. You nailed it when you said “ambient psychedelic” music - the genre name is “Psybient”.
More Shpongle tracks:
- Around the World in a Tea Daze
- Nothing Is Something Worth Doing
The genre is Shpongle! hehehe... all others are psybient...
Shpongle has saved me from insanity many, many times. A psychonaut's best friend.
Plini got a new badass song, I just discovered it yesterday but you made me discover Plini: The Glass Bead Game.
Younger brother and shpongle are so beautiful. I saw shpongle (simon) live at the rave in Milwaukee. around the time museum of consciousness came out, Raja wasn't feeling up to touring the midwest in the winter which I can undetstand.
@@theintangiblefancy428 Ah, the old man sure can bring energy to the scene, despite the back pain he has. Sorry that you missed him. He's incredible with the flute, if you're lucky you can catch him jam backstage or when walking around the festival checking stuff out.
@Key of Geebz Speaking of psychonauts: Psychedelonaut by Wo Fat. Really groovy, really heavy, really psychedelic blues-based stoner-rock. You'll dig it: th-cam.com/video/d3XDRuOolwI/w-d-xo.html
The whole of the album ‘Nothing lasts… but Nothing is Lost’ is stunning.
This. Yes please!
Favorite of all time
Think you may have a fun time dissecting Infected Mushroom's "Heavyweight". It combines the psy/electronic aspects of Shpongle with some more traditional metal character.
YES another soldier in the army of mushrooms. Would love to hear him decompose their work.
Yes!!
Oh hey, someone else mentioned my other favorite band. Dancing With Kadafi is a good one too, and Before.
Aw man. Any Infected Mushroom would be awesome!
He did do Guitarmas by them
Holy shit, I came here for Tool, and found Shpongle... what a delightful suprprise! Got any Mr. Bill or Tipper in the pipeline?
Also, I'm still here
Ow Mr.Bill, Free Bill. His jamm with Infected Mushroom.
Please Tipper!! The production values are so immense, would love your view on it
Yessss tipper please! My vote would be 'dead soon' or 'cinder coat'
@@jamesc5801 Agreed. Tipper - Vection from JMH , or basically anything from most of Forward Escape. Also... I think it's 'cinder cone'. Absolutely, agree.
Oh sh!t. Things just got real and surreal simultaneously. Time for what Terence McKenna called an epic dose. Shpongle are masters of their craft.
Next video, trip on acid and listen to shpongle
I'd pay to see that
I'm still here. ozric tentacles is an electronic band you will certainly dig
Shpongles absolute best song and maybe my favprite song of all time is when shall i be free/stamen of the shamen it is a triumphant psychedelic orchestral symphonic powerhouse tour de force masterpiece pls pls PPPPPPLLLLLLLLLLSSSSSSS break down that song i guarantee you will be a hardcore shpongle fan for life!!!!
One of my fav songs of all time, as well. Would love him to decompose it!
I would have never expected Sphongle on the channel (or any reaction channel for that matter), but I'm excited! Sphongle is amazing. I hope you will be doing more Sphongle, or other psychedelic ambient, like Younger Brother or Carbon Based Lifeforms.
Psybient is absolutly amazing, I can't understand why it is so uknown music genre
I haven't done drugs since 1989 and Psybient is one of my favorite genres. @@grzegorznikrandt2152
It's so crazy how everything you've listened to is something I like lmaooo
I really love Shpongle, I know they're really psychedelic, but I like to use them especially in the middle of a panic attack, they really calm me down. Of course, they're nice to listen to gonked out of your gourd too, but that's beside the point lmaoooooooo. They're really, really, relaxing to me. Oddly enough, they fill a similar role TOOL does to me.
And THAT is the power of music and why I love it!!! Awwwright!
I know right?!?! He listens to Tool, Deftones, Slipknot, Shpongle, he's gonna do MARS VOLTA?!?! omfg... I hope he takes a listen to Infected mushroom and Gorillaz eventually.
@@theintangiblefancy428 Go back through his vids he did 'Inertiatic ESP' already. This channel is definitely going to be a fun ride !!
Trying to think of some challenging or niche music to request. I was thinking 'Daughters' could be interesting, or some solo Omar stuff.
@@feintcircles my first thought branching from mars volta is requesting at the drive in or for some reason them crooked vultures
panic attack? that makes sense, since they are great for calming down someone having a difficult psychedelic experience. its almost like shpongle is a tripsitter in itself haha
You're heading on the BEST journey of your life by getting into this band! They are GODS of Sonic space and sound.
Ozric tentacles are
@@Visionoir fuck yeah both groups are great but Ozrics are pure bliss
Slugdge- Transylvanian fungus
Rivers of nihil- subtle changes
Vektor- recharging the void
This is so cool! I'm a classically trained in music, and Shpongle has been my absolute favorite since I first heard them about 18 years ago. Mix of digital, acoustics, winds, and samples. Playing with time signatures, and just how it makes me feel (even without gummi bears, ha!).
Alright if we're getting into the electronic music realm, when are you gonna do Aphex Twin?
I would *pay* to see his brain warped by the one true master. Can we get some Ziggomatic 17 in here??
As far as I can tell he's only done one. I need a full Richard D James Album breakdown...
Reddit\Shpongle sent me here! Also big metal and rock fan.
Dear DECOMPOSER, the review is excellent entertainment. Thank you for your honesty. May I point out some favourite moments? I am a classically trained musician and a lecturer of electronic music. I hold Shpongle in some regard as a reference for teaching. I am glad that this piece inspired you to go a write some more music. Please do publish it. I would be interested to hear Shpongle review of your music.
“This is not meditation style music I am used to.” “The first two minutes are relaxing and de-compressing, that would put you into meditative stage." - Contradiction
“Definitive percussion pattern” - Damn right! Shpongle is known for it.
Second stop: “There will not be any guitar and this is cool”… The guitar has been playing for the last 3 minutes. Never mind.
“Sonic Ear Candy” - Excellent! The masterpiece of Shpongle,
“A lot of this stuff is ‘drag, drop and tweak’ - everything is perfect and because of this there is crystal clear sound.”
The composer, perhaps could make some mistakes make some mistakes, so he does not get mistaken for a sampled computerised perfection.
“A cross over of double time and half time” - the word is POLYRHYTHM.
From the same band, you might enjoy..Around The World In A Tea Daze [Ott Remix]
Heard that on 500 ug back in highschool. Bad times lol
The original is one of my fav Shpongle tracks ever. Another one nobody talks about that I love is Room 23
The first two tracks on “ineffable mysteries from shpongleland” are my favorite shpongle songs
That whole album is incredible, but Nothing Is Something Worth Doing is one of my fav tracks of all time, I absolutely love the steel pan instrumentation.
@@jambulance At the end of that song when he rips the bong. Absolutely love ending my workouts on that track. Oops Im thiking of invisible man in a flourscent suit. The hand pans in the track you mentioned are beautiful tho.
Pronounced Shhh pongle. Some nights I listen to all of Shpongle's albums. Amazing music indeed.
Add "Dead can Dance" to the mix. Some outstanding music with the legend of Lisa Gerrard in vocals quite regularly
Yes! Song Of The Stars
Whoooooaaaaa shpongle!?!?
With Sphongle now having been added to the mix, I'd like to request Infected Mushroom - Dancing with Kadafi. Don't pay any heed to the title. I personally don't think it's their best song, but it might prove to be interesting to you.
Yeah, Dancing with Kadafi is a realt trip. Such a journey - like 6 songs in one =D
This has a REAL Ozric Tentacles vibe to it. Great stuff.
Exactly what I was thinking.
ozric on steroids :D
@@TheDechon Surely that is Eat Static :D
@@matthewswift3347 haha true! The last collab with Simon whas pretty wicked as well!
Yesssir!
Wow! First of all what a pleasant surprise to hear something so different. Even further, this was just really good. Some interesting electronic music that I can get behind. Goes to show that no matter the genre, there's always some top tier gems to find.
I think electronic music is more of a certain process, not just a genre. And if you look at it as a genre, it's like with many other genres: what most people see as something that defines the genre is just the more simple, easier to get into side of it that gets popular for a while. Just a tip of a huge iceberg. Nowadays it is so common to mix and match different kind of processes to make all these amazing songs. And Shpongle is great example of that mindset. Just using whatever to get the sound they want, be it live instruments, circuit bended children's toys, obscure samples from old movies, the most modern virtual synths and whatnot.
@@CptNelson Yeah those two sentences were meant to be unique statements. Did not mean that the genre of this is electronic. Just meant that this was some electronically made music that I can get behind. Which maybe isn't really true even to say since you said they don't just use electronic means to make their music. And then my other sentence was meant to mean whatever genre this is considered, there's gems like this within that genre.
You should check psybient or goa genres. Shpongle is often classified in the former.
As someone else said, check Juno Reactor, Blue Planet Corporation, Bluetech, Carbon Based Lifeforms, and my favorite, Ott.
Yes
Ott and Tipper
Not often you come across someone who pulls up Blue Planet Corporation. They were my first experience in this genre of music ❤️
Happy to see this! Shpongle definitely got me through some of the nights of blurred reality years ago. If you liked this, you will enjoy digging into their discography. Let me HIGHLY recommend some artist that WILL NOT disappoint. (Ott - The Queen Of All Everything)(Younger Brother - Ribbon On A Branch)
Shpongle is amazing...the way Posford and Raja layer all these musical textures is god tier.... i listen every time i trip....every week
name of the style is Psybient
if youre ever just curious, simon posford loves to make little videos on the equipment he has and uses and stuff, maybe not good for reacting unless you put them all together, but super cool. those guys are genius
Haven't listened to Shpongle in years, this was a nice surprise!
The flute at the opening gives me a Jethro Tull vibe
TOTALLY!!!
Raja Ram is the jazz flautist and had been playing longer than Ian Anderson. His flute just really makes Shpongle.
Raja Ram used to play in a band called "quintessence" formed in 1969! Their style was a mixture of jazz, psychedelic rock and progressive rock with an influence of music from India :) th-cam.com/video/Z062TDH5lhg/w-d-xo.html
I'll never forget the first time I was Shpongled. Incredible music, especially if you're chilling with Lucy 😉
"Heavyweight" by Infected Mushroom!
Red rocks live 2019 is EPIC!!
one of the best live shows ever!
Shpongle is Simon Posford and Raja Ram. Raja was originally the flutist in Quintessence, the 70s progressive psychedelic rock/jazz fusion band. I believe Simon was an audio engineer before starting to work with Youth (Martin Glover) bassist of Killing Joke and producer for many top acts. Youth started Dragonfly Records - a label that released many electronic psychedelic acts from the early 90s onwards that were a part of the psychedelic resurgence that was occurring in the UK and other parts of the world due to travellers returning from their awakening on the dancefloors on the beaches of Goa in India. A very influential band from this same movement is Ozric Tentacles - a psychedelic progressive fusion band that has released around 20 albums since their first release in 1983 until the present day. Main member and guitarist Ed Wynne is phenomenal.
I confirm !!!!
One of their more obscure pieces... lovely none the less. Dig deeper you'll get sphongled, No question.
Enter the universe of Shpongle and you do not want to go back. Amazing soundscapes with such a comforting tone it feels like coming home.
Man my first boss when I started Carpentry really loved these guys. Would tell about his DJ days at Full Moon Parties in Bali and Thailand. LSD galore, Mushrooms etc. Totally forgot about the band, but here i am, thanks decomposer
I found out about Shpongle during my audio engineering schooling many years ago. So happy to see them on this channel. What a treat!
Great breakdown 🙂 if you watch Shpongle live, you will see they are kitted with an extensive band. Live in London 2013 is a stunning performance. Around The World In a Tea Daze, you be of my all time faves. It’s really quite amazing to see all these phenomenal artists shredding.
It's called "psychedelic downtempo" or "psybient" and I must say it's great, especially all indian/middle-eastern samples used both by Shpongle or Space Buddha. Good stuff. Trippy stuff.
I think its pretty cool that Shpongle posted this on their official page.
OMG, my man just rode the Shpongle shroom rocket. For the life of me I can't figure out why channels do not React to this band, they are otherwordly. Never will you be the same once you dive deeper into this band. You, sir, are a LEGEND.
When I first heard Shpongle, it changed everything.
It is pronounced: shh-pon-gull (hard g). And yes, they are psychedelic ambient (psybient). There are so many tunes that you could do if you so choose. Divine Moments Of Truth is a must like people have commented. I would add ...And The Day Turned To Night is an almost 20 minute work of art from their first album (shares space with Divine Moments).
You were expecting some metal guitar to jump in at some point gave me a big chuckle.
There are plenty of other good artists that are in this realm of psybient, Entheogenic (their tune, Ground Illuminosity) and Ott's Queen Of All Everything. Can't go wrong there.
Always great to see someone discover Shpongle for the first time. Enjoy, my friend.
It helps to know a little bit of the background of the group.. very abstract colab that turned into a piece of heaven in your ears. i am thankful every time i hear Shpongle and i have seen the live show like 5 times. PSY-AMBIENT
Do Around the World in the Tea Daze, by Shpongle. This is a B-side compared to that. Please!
My favorite Shpongle song ... Simon you are absolutely genius
I love this group! It is pronouced SHH-Pong-Gull and it's an umbrella term for all lovely and euphoric feelings which u might feel in a trance and etc.. Their first album is called "Are you Shpongled?"
I'm so stoked you're doing Shpongle! To me they are to electronic music what Tool is for rock music as far as falling into an endless tunnel, haha.
Good ol' fashion psy trance
These peeps and Infected Mushroom, fucking love em
Still here, mate
I've loved all of your Tool reactions and I'm so happy to see a reaction for my favorite band Shpongle! This is indeed Heroic dose stuff!
Didn't expect to see this band here, but so happy to see shpongle get some love!
Been a Shpongle fan since the late 90s, I'm glad to see their magic reach out more widely. Aloha from Oahu, Key of Geebz!
Tales of the inexpressible was definitely my number one favorite album. That one will take you on a journey and leave you Shpongled.
Came here for Tool and - to my surprise - I see a Shpongle reaction here. That IS awesome! Shpongle has a HUGE place in my heart, immense respect for psychedelic master Simon Posford and legendary Raja Ram. This must be the best youtube channel in eons! ALRIGHT!
Try some Infected Mushroom while we’re onto Psy music. They incorporate heavy guitars quite a bit.
Around the world in a tea daze is an absolute banger.
Shpongle is absolutely nuts live...Cirque meets fractal bass
Man, I used to shroom to Shpongle! So cool that you're doing a reaction to them!
He can’t stop but start bopping his head
Another shout out to Ozric Tentacles, which has to be where this band's sound originated.
Simon Posford is a big fan of Ozric Tentacles and Eat Static which was created from members of OT I think.
For something similar I would recommend Ott - Rogue Bagel.
For something different I would recommend Huoratron - $$ Trooppers
Smoked Glass and Chrome
Ott - Shower of Sparks, as well.
Tool and now Shpongle, you are playing the best. Now all you need to hear is buckethead and you will have reviewed all my favs lol.
Thank you.
For some reason Buckethead never crossed my path, thought you were joking putting him up with T and S. Can't stop listen now...
Genre is Psychadelic Trance, Goa, and Ambient/Psybient. One of my all time favorite artists for a long time.
Suuuuuper stoked and surprised to see you reacted to this.
We've seen these guys live and it's practically an entire troupe!
Thanks for doing all these musics I love ❤️
Not only did he react to Shpongle.... he ENJOYED it! Haha fuckin’ awesome 🤙🏻
I can't believe to hear Shpongle on your channel, how amazing is that? Btw.they are around for more than 20 years now and enlightened so many nights for me.
Raja Ram must be around 80 years old in inbetween and he was one of the main founders of India based "Goa-Techno" or "Psychedelic-Progressive-Trance".
I've seen them live a handful times and they are mind-expanding,I heavily recommend "Around the World in a tea daze"!
And to get a little more heavy listen to "Juno Reactor" s " Bible of dreams",you will be fully satisfied.
This is what my nights were like in the late 90's.Flashback!
I love watching people hear Shpongle for the first time. You nailed it with "sonic ear candy"! You're right about the capabilities of modern synths, modules and plugins, but it's worth pointing out that these guys have been making this stuff since the late 1990s, and making it well. Shpongle's resident genius Simon Posford has other projects too - worth taking a listen to Younger Brother (try The Last Days of Gravity).
The flute player is Raja Ram, back in the 60´s he was traveling with Timothy Leary with the legendary LSD Bus through the States ;-)
Today he`s also a famous PsyTrance DJ
Welcome to Shpongleland, it's a wonderful rabbit hole.
Shpongle - Invisible Man in a fluorescent Suit! 💙🙌🏻🤘🏻🙏🏻
You nailed the genre. It's psychedelic trance and ambiant. Shpongle is one of the originators of the Psybient genre.
I'm amazed no one has requested BAND MAID yet. It's an all-girls japanese rock band and they ROCK! Their life shows stand out with their flashy solos (BAND-MAID / DOMINATION (Official Live Video)
but maybe BAND-MAID / Thrill captures the style of the band the best - prog rock, hard rock.
Shpongle is often my "dessert" after some Tool - they both fill a weird niche in my musical taste in that they take me on a glorious little mental trip every damn time :D
I'm a metal head to the core but I love Shpongle!!!!
Holy shit, this a surprise. i saw them live in goa with raja ram, one of the most spiritual ecstssy moments of my lifr
Shpongle...wow...not expected! What a nice treat.
Thank you a lot Geebz. This was a real treat.
"Heavyweight" by Infected Mushroom. Similar lane but much more climactic!
Infected mushroom cant hold a candle to shpongle imo, not even close to being as creative.
Know this bend for a while, didnt expect this on your channel. Thanks, I love them
Love your channel dude!! Your breakdowns, analysis, and personal dab of experience makes watching these videos a very enjoyable experience.👍
Duuuude this is so cool! You’re reacting to all the amazing stuff out there! Seen these guys live once, was amazing and crazy haha :) Keep doing you, you’re awesome. 🤙
Discovering so much good music through this channel! Love it! Thanks for doing what you do dude!
"Moo-Aah"!
DUDE! I can't believe my eyes when I saw you post a video about Shpongle in my feed, I've been listening to them since I was about 6 or 7, really important group for me.
Shpongle is amazing! Brings me back in time.. thanks so much for this, so unexpected! :) You've made my day, and now I'm going to listen to these guys ;)
still here man, love seeing folks thoughts on the music that shaped my taste.
“Sonic ear candy”
Well said
Simon Posford is the master
Simon Posford is a genius that's not even an overstatement. Listen to his back catalogue it spans almost all genres (plenty of great guitar parts in there too).
Dude please keep doing Shpongle reaction videos! I´ve been searching for these for a long time!
I'm still here. The first two Shpongle albums are a deep dive into studio wizardry and hijinks. Good luck getting out of their trap!
