This wins instantly... tempo is in a constant state of acceleration. 190+ bpm. I couldn't get to sleep after listening to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8K2YOVZqGkU

Nice to follow tradition, but this superstition is ridiculous! The number 13 is only unlucky since the Knights Templar were ordered arrested by Philip IV of France on the 13th. The fact that it becomes more than that is just ignorant, people need to get real - it's just a number.

I'm fed up with all the elitism and arrogance towards artists like this. Seriously, what's wrong with full-on and other genres like this? Artists can choose to make what music they like, and people like Ofer and IM have probably gone mainstream since there's just not a market for the psytrance we like any more. And not all of it's that bad...

Funny how people jump to silly conclusions... Personally I think that he's been abducted by Pigs from Space

This is an excellent album. Finally some innovation from Filteria. I was worried that he'd produce another album of just melody after melody, but this is really maturing.... the first track in particular. One album of powerful melodies is okay, but he's done well to respond to the feedback and criticism he got. If you're starting with filteria, I'd pick up Sky Input and this album, Heliopolis didn't give away much new in my opinion and was largely inferior to album #1. Keep producing Jannis

Mine was too easy I don't really see how pulse could be signified as waves. :posford:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_isomer I saw the atoms, thought chemistry and thought of trans isomerism! I'm hoping it's right, but now you mention it trans isomerism is a process, not a type of atom. Still, can't find any artist with Atom and Trans in the name...

Better replace that fish in your avatar to the Lunar Civilization EP! Watch out, the are coming for you!

Transwave

No, Simon was complaining about the sales and how little money Twisted had in the bank. Let's hope it's increased.

+1 Funny that so many here weren't impressed. I feel sorry for them!

The ridiculous energy, multiple layers building up and making your body move and stunning climaxes that send shivers up your spine. Pleiadians - Maia forever!

Seriously, what is with you continually bumping your own thread? I'm not sure anyone here knows the track, the others suggested look pretty close. It's up to you to make the last steps to finding out the track...

He would be nasty for not giving Shiva Moon if Shivamoon is really the correct answer! The other two don't exist!

Not really a psychedelic artist, but all I can think of is Moonface. I can't find any other way Shiva and the moon go together...

I'm liking a lot of dub techno at the moment, especially as a form of ambient. Favourite artists would be Basic Channel, Echospace, Deepchord, Yagya. Good release to start with would be http://www.discogs.com/DeepChord-Presents-Echospace-The-Coldest-Season/master/4500

The Orb - A Huge Ever Growing Pulsating Brain That Rules From The Centre of the Ultraworld

Solar Fields - Discovering. 'Nuff said.

This is exactly where I stand on this album: Listened to the entirety of it on a walk the other day. Some nice parts. Then listened to Shpongle Falls and was completely blown away by its depth and what it did to my mind. The new album doesn't do this.

Well I've given it some listens and a lot more of the stuff stands out to me, although there are still tracks I'm not happy about. Electroplasm starts with chanting that seems lifted off of ATDTTN... from AYS?, but it is more desperate. Though I like the track, it is slightly on edge and uncomfortable like much of this album. Then you also get the mucked up vocal effect, also taken straight from Nothing Lasts... already I'm thinking this album sounds unoriginal. Shpongolose Spoken Here is kinda cool but nothing special. Nothing Is Something Worth Doing is a fine, relaxing track, and probably my favourite on the album at the moment... I actually really like this one Ineffable Mysteries has the most AWFUL female mushed up vocals on it somewhere near the middle. This is enough to completely put me off of the whole track, even though it has some cool Indian vocals towards the end which seem to turn it into a profound track when you get there... I Am You - the only track on the album which feels like a masterpiece. Starts off on the right foot, with some great samples. Vocals are slightly cheesy... the track gets almost psytrancey towards the end, which I like. Ends a little too soon to get into... Invisible Man - more orchestral and nice enough, however the wailing line is COMPLETELY lifted out of DMT! It's a shame because I think of Divine Moments of Truth and I'd much rather be listening to that than this to be honest. No Turn Unstoned - I like the vocals purely because they sound so English! The singer sounds familiar to me because of this, and when you get to "Together we'll float away... to Shpongleland" it almost made me laugh Walking Backwards - a nice ending with Raja's Flute but nothing like the endings to any of the past 3 albums... I'm still of the opinion that Are You Shpongled? completely blows this out of the water. Just listen to Shpongle Falls and compare it to this... Tennant's verdict: Some nice moments but overall not deep enough, too vocal heavy, unoriginal Really sorry if I'm putting anyone off and making them cynical too already, please listen with an open mind, this is just MY opinion remember, and I liked AYS? far more than Tales, if that means anything to you. This is different to both and you may well love it more than the other Shpongles. I agree, I can hear a lot of Younger Brother mixed in there. Just listen to Invisible Man and see what I mean. Not Hallucinogen, but it does sound psytrancey in parts. There is far more 4/4 time and much more reliance on Rhythm. I didn't say it was psytrance, since it's not, but it seems much closer to psytrance than the other albums, and to be honest, I don't like the "grey zone" that this falls in to, it's hard to pigeonhole this one.

The thing that worries me about this is the style... whereas AYS? completely tripped on the psybient scene and the next two albums were original psy-world-chill, this seems like a horrible hybrid between psytrance and psychill... just doesn't do it for me. Love the samples in I Am You though

This album disappointed me on the first few listened... I keep hearing bits of DMT mixed in there so it seems unoriginal, and I consider the lyrics cheesy... we speak Shpongelese just seemed like a mess. IMO Shpongle have got worse every album, even though others disagree. Are You Shpongled was an ambient masterpiece that makes my top 5 albums every time - the other two have good portions but noting like the classic that AYS? was! Anyway I'll listen to it more, see if my opinion changes!

Koxbox is amazing. You just have to appreciate the amount of sounds and work put into it... it goes beyond any other sort of music, even standard Goa! Makes your head spin just to listen to it - give it some tries and focus your full attention of the music.

Last call for Etnica - Alien Protein (Blue Room) Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger (Twisted Records) Dimension 5 - Transdimensional (Suntrip Records) Eat Static - Abduction (Planet Dog) before they go forever.
