  1. this is an idiot home made collection....one guy made it and then shared it in soulseek...many people download it thinking that it is the new shpongle album....

    After downloading it myself, I can't really see that you are mistaken. :)

  2. No doubt, the use of samples will occur in "Nothing Lasts".

    However, I refuse to see anything negative in reasonable usage..

    The important thing is the final product, and with some freaky artwork, it could very well be a winner. :)

  3. I agree. The only thing that can eventually grow weaker is the picture you have of an artist and his skills. The music stays the same. It's both naive and stupid to not think samples are being used in this kind of music, where it is room for a lot of melodies and sounds. Enjoy the music, and for god's sake let's hope shpongle 3 won't do as our Israelic mushrooms and screw up.

  4. Aw, come on! Have a little faith  :rolleyes: . I heard heaps of Simon's new stuff (particularly Long Long Arms, Stretchtastic and Nothing Lasts) as he left a trail of happiness across Australia in november and december... Trust me - he STILL got it.  ;)

     

    Keep in mind that not all of this stuff rocks your world at first listen. The first time i heard 'shamanix' and 'shpongleeyes' i thought 'come ON! What was THAT about??!!' and after 5-6 listenings.... POW! Catch the right soundwaves... Let it sink into your neural highways and you'll feel deranged and shpongled like never before.

     

    Peace :lol:

    Hey, what is the name of that dude that made the shpongle sample?

    Got any more of them? :)

  5. Hey Matt,

     

    just finished shpongle 3... i am very pleased - it is

    an extremely 'mature' album, and more psychedelic than

    the last one!  it won't be out for a while, as we

    haven't even started the artwork yet, and i am away

    for 6 weeks.... maybe feb/march....

    all the best

    :)

  6. Heard through the CD now, and I am a bit dissapointed. :(

    The first track, IM the supervisor is the worst one by far. It's even worse than I Wish. Taxi Number?

     

    Bombat belongs in Converting Vegetarians among the other "Ok" Songs.

     

    Frog Machine is also just OK, because I really dont see the song going anywhere..

    But, its fast, and its cheerful to the extent of cheerfulness in these dissapointed hours.

     

    Horus The Chorus is kinda cheesy, but i don't hate it. Nice ending.

     

    Meduzz is too far off.

     

    Muse Breako RMX has a nice start and ending, but I cant dig the middle part, leaving it under an average. Way under.

     

    Noon dosen't really sound like anything..

     

    Ratio Shmatio Isn't too bad. Nice sounds, and a lot of variations.

     

    Stretched Isn't too bad either. No new kadafi though :)

     

    All in all: Nice sounds, but the voice is just terrible. IM-The supervisor sounds really bad. Really bad.

     

    Hard setting a grade here, but its by far the worst mushie release.

    Now, that sucks, but thats the way it goes.
