This man will likely never get the recognition he deserves. One of the greatest musicians of our generation. Hopefully its enough for him to know he touched people deeply, which has a value no amount of celebrity can achieve.
Thank you, Simon Posford. Your trips have marked stages of my life. Started listening at age 13 and now at 33 I am still learning with your music. Peace, joy and inspiration for you, always!
As a orphan who has seen a lot of his own friends die from drug use/gang violence, your music speaks to me. The intricacies and the thought behind every single note is so meticulous, Simon is a creative genius. Psychedelics/thc has improved and saved my life so much, and your music is so profound in my life. Thank you for providing me such superb music to listen to while tripping, your music is truly shamanic in nature, any newcomer should look to Simons music. Absolutely phenomenal, amazing job Simon and team!
From one psychedelic being to another, here are some of my personal favorite artists in that vein, maybe you'll fall in love with some of them too: - Animal Collective (and their solo works, especially Avey Tare and Deakin; being a fan of these guys is very rewarding as they are prolific and have tons and tons of "hidden" releases, concert bootlegs, artsy images, etc.; they're a bit freaky and weird, but once you get it, you'll fall in love) - MGMT (particularly their 2nd album onward to today, especially their last few projects) - Mid-Air Thief (a Korean psychedelic artist with a beautifully unique and lively style - best album, IMO, out of two so far is Crumbling; also see his earlier couple of EPs under the name Hyoo, and for more recent experimental stuff check out his 3rd project Bird's Eye Batang) - Dan Deacon (Mystic Familiar is godly, America and Gliss Riffer are great, Bromst is good too, just not as well produced) - Max Cooper (always, ALWAYS has the cream of the crop of trippy and textured music videos - IMO his best work starts at the album Emergence; his music is best described as deep, complex, unusually textured, introspective, and fascinating) - Oneohtrix Point Never (specifically the album Magic Oneohtrix Point Never - I advise against tripping to the videos as they're unusually dark considering the music, and you won't need a video to trip out to it anyway, I assure you) - Culprate (New addition I discovered since typing all this out) - Possibly the best psychedelic electronic music I've ever heard. Particularly the albums Colours, Deliverance (this one especially, if I had to pick one electronic album that expresses the human experience the best to lock in a vault or show to aliens, this would be it), and the one with non-english lettering that apparently means Number Four. Others is pretty good too. And just a few more names for ya: Cosmic Trigger, Tipper, Klaada, and The Flying Mars (all Psybient like Shpongle so you'll probably feel right at home with them).
Hey man... I don't come from the same background as yourself, I come from a world of Sectarian violence and hate. But, without the Psychedelic family, and the calming, disengaging effects of Cannabis, I would've ended up in 1/ Jail, 2/ a Sanatarium, or 3/ the Grave. Yet, they are so maligned by so many. I hope you are in a better place now, Physically and Mentally. 💜

"Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you'll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds.

I found it refreshing and cathartic to go through an album-length transition from human fears and uncertainty, to confidence and the will to go forward, then to channeling and receiving the divine Shpongle energy. I'm very happy that this exists.
Oh man I was sitting here starting to get chills and feeling energized and happy, checked the track name and saw “The New Normal” - I almost burst out loud laughing. Way to find the beauty in the irony! ❤️
A lot of psychedelic artists I listen to have this kind of effect on me. One of my favorite things to do (while in a certain kind of headspace, be it exogenously or endogenously induced if you know what I mean) is watching the album cover of a really good, psycho-acoustically well-crafted psychedelic album while listening to it all the way through; I'll usually alternate between watching the album art and my closed eyelids (it's even better if you have the physical vinyl btw, the whole thing becomes an interactive art experience and the art comes to life in a tangible way, plus the other parts like inserts and back/inner cover - highly recommended!). Some other awesome psychedelic artists that impacted me about as much as, or in some cases more than Shpongle, for anyone curious: - Animal Collective (and their solo works, especially Avey Tare and Deakin; being a fan of these guys is very rewarding as they are prolific and have tons and tons of "hidden" releases, concert bootlegs, artsy images, etc.; they're a bit freaky and weird, but once you get it, you'll fall in love) - MGMT (particularly their 2nd album onward to today, especially their last few projects) - Mid-Air Thief (a Korean psychedelic artist with a beautifully unique and lively style - best album, IMO, out of two so far is Crumbling; also see his earlier couple of EPs under the name Hyoo) - Dan Deacon (Mystic Familiar is godly, America and Gliss Riffer are great, Bromst is good too, just not as well produced) - Max Cooper (always, ALWAYS has the cream of the crop of trippy and textured music videos - IMO his best work starts at the album Emergence; his music is best described as deep, complex, unusually textured, introspective, and fascinating) - Oneohtrix Point Never (specifically the album Magic Oneohtrix Point Never - I advise against tripping to the videos as they're unusually dark considering the music, and you won't need a video to trip out to it anyway, I assure you)
@@filippoarlenghi6247 Happy to share! Also Mid-Air Thief recently put out an even trippier album under a new alias "Bird's Eye Batang", definitely worth checking out.
Great album. The grooves are so chilled and full of momentum. I can hear the PF, Tangerine Dream and even Vangelis influences, not to mention reflections of earlier Shpongle and Hallucinogen. The concerto for piano and birds is the definition of relaxing - I just love the sound field in this one. This will run on repeat throughout my work day. Thank you Simon!
Thank you for all of your astounding and profound musical compositions which transcend spacetime. It was an honor to see you perform with Shpongle... you blew my mind every time. At Gem n Jam I was transported to another dimension and had a break through while being relatively sober. It was such a profound experience that it was difficult for me to convey (and still is) to my friends and even process it for myself. It opened my 3rd eye to an epiphany in that, we do not need external enhancements. When one focuses their intentions deeply one is able to unlock an astounding level of energy and vibrational frequency. I have never listened to music or listened to the world the same way ever since. It rocked me to my core... as if some sort of a reboot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This album, especially the first track reminds me so much of one of my favourite records, David Sylvian's and Holger Czukay's Plight and Premonition, the track Giant Empty Iron Vessel in particular, and I love it all the more for that. Amazing work!
@SimonPostford I have the experience of being (followed) by the Wood Thrush's song since a very pivotal time in my life. As you chose this bird's song to be in your own composition, I have the curiosity about what it means for you... Does anyone else have the observation of the Wood Thrush's song auguring transformational experiences?
Simon and Raja are forever my trip sitters. Them 2, and the aliens from the future that they make music with, take me exactly where I need to go when I need to go there.
GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!! Thank you so much SIMON for such as great material it is delicious and they all sound with that unique touch of yOURS!!!! VIVA SIMON VIVA SHPONGLE saludos desde Costa Rica!!! Greetings from Costa Rica!! Pura vida!!
wow, firstly, I have been a fan for maybe 20 years, and this is boldly not one of the many pseudonyms. all the flavours are there though. very beautiful.
WOW! Simon! I never thought I would hear anything from you, again. Thank you for continuing to create music for the Earth, Cosmos, Universe and for all living beings. This is an amazing album, something I wouldn't have expected coming from you (maybe in my minds eye, I always thought of yourself as a Shponglist so this soothing album definitely comes as a surprise). Congratulations! Thank you Twisted Records for uploading.
A true magician! After seeing you at Noisily 2022 you became one of my favourite artist, greatest musical experience of my life so far, I wish that set would be online so I can listen again to that magic you created which felt catered to me, it was a magical roller coaster of emotions and realisations, thank you so much for sharing your magic with the world! Lots of love ❤️
Love this😻🎶 and nice thing is that I can keep writing my paper for school now without being distracted while I’m listening to this🐈✨💜such a beautiful calming meowonderful sounds 🐾
Simon, I hope you're coping with isolation, in truth, not everybody is. True genius is formed in Isolation when you allow your mind to travel. Blake Meisinger's Bukowski quote is far more elegant in exploring this theme. Please remember you may be in isolation but our thoughts are with you. Thank you for the music, always.
Most interesting! Brothers of other mothers - internationally sound-communicatin' doodlers.... a n y wa y ....Great album Simon! So here's myself Patrick aka Bitley, also born in '71 and also a synth freak decidedly stayin creative during this lockdown. I released Lincoln In A Lincoln In Lincoln the other day on Spotify & iTunes. I've decided I'll get a ton of tracks out during this Cringeful Downperiod Of Corona.
As IT stands neither here nor..... one might argue that the act of standing in and of itself is a form of "there" as "there" is a relative concept when dealing with spatial relation. Only once we assemble the metric can we begin to quantify the heretofore, the "there" and the hereafter. What is important to remember is that if we ever find ourselves achieving "there", it will only be a farce, for we will only be able to achieve a state of "there" while simultaneously participating in a state of Flux & Contemplation.
U r the greatest. I dont except some new stuff from the master. And now.............BOOOOOM Love u man. Make my world of music complete. Thank u so much 4 dat
Woooooow mister Just, tell us what planet are you from ????? You are a music god and, I am all ears worshiping No words could describe.... woooow. thank you. thank you. thank you
I feel this way about Animal Collective too. So many incredible artists around. Technological advances have lowered the bar for entry and also made the possibilities of sound even more limitless than they were before. What a time to be alive. I think Terence McKenna was right about the increase in novelty.
No es la musica que mas escucho, pero transmite la fantasía de lo inesperable, solitarios, recorrer las calles en el misterio de la noche, imaginar que es mágica... y ver que es casi como una forma de la esperanza. Melancolía y fantasía.
I can at least say with some degree of confidence that those sounds start from a synthesizer, with a very fast amplitude envelope, with no attack, fast decay, no sustain, and little to no release time, probably with some filter modulation and high resonance, definitely with pitch modulation akin to the amplitude envelope I described, likely either sequenced to sound like it's repeating, or taken as a sample and duplicated, also likely with some effects for sure. It seems like it might have some additive EQ on it to enhance certain frequencies after the filter resonance stage too.

As IT stands neither here nor..... one might argue that the act of standing in and of itself is a form of "there" as "there" is a relative concept when dealing with spatial relation. Only once we assemble the metric can we begin to quantify the heretofore, the "there" and the hereafter. What is important to remember is that if we ever find ourselves achieving "there", it will only be a farce, for we will only be able to achieve a state of "there" while simultaneously participating in a state of Flux & Contemplation.
@@divinefallfromgrace porcupine tree is awesome

Thank you, Simon!
Woooooow mister
Just, tell us what planet are you from ?????
You are a music god and, I am all ears worshiping
No words could describe.... woooow. thank you. thank you. thank you
I feel this way about Animal Collective too. So many incredible artists around. Technological advances have lowered the bar for entry and also made the possibilities of sound even more limitless than they were before. What a time to be alive. I think Terence McKenna was right about the increase in novelty.
Really great sound I love it, thank you Simon !
Beautiful album
Could not be more thrilled! Thank you x
@38.00 Hit me with your rhythm stick :)
I thought I could hear it at the beginning too 👍
No es la musica que mas escucho, pero transmite la fantasía de lo inesperable, solitarios, recorrer las calles en el misterio de la noche, imaginar que es mágica... y ver que es casi como una forma de la esperanza. Melancolía y fantasía.
AS THE EGO STOPS SCREAMING MADNESS .....tonal sounds, inside the outer spaces, wilst the self discovers ID
Master piece!!!!
So refreshing!!!
Thanks mate
Nice one Si. When are we hanging on the beach again?
A very very beatiful psychedelic simphony
I see what you did there
Nice one Simon!
Thank you! I would love to know how Simon does those "chirping crickets" sounds... flanged chopped up delays?
I can at least say with some degree of confidence that those sounds start from a synthesizer, with a very fast amplitude envelope, with no attack, fast decay, no sustain, and little to no release time, probably with some filter modulation and high resonance, definitely with pitch modulation akin to the amplitude envelope I described, likely either sequenced to sound like it's repeating, or taken as a sample and duplicated, also likely with some effects for sure. It seems like it might have some additive EQ on it to enhance certain frequencies after the filter resonance stage too.
This is magical!
Awesome
Love this. Is it a reference to David Sylvian’s ‘Flux and Mutability’? First few tracks certainly have a similar feel.
lovely
Good music for meditation
The king is back!!
