    Probably true, but Nothing lasts > nothing is lost is probably the greatest experiences of mine with music. comes very close to ...day turned to blah blah

     

    I love 1-10 of this album, every single minute of it..

    then i really love tracks here and there from the rest.

    Yeah much prefer Entheogenic than Shpongle... Entheogenic have so much more melody, focussing more on music than on just being trippy and weird... have only managed to sit through the whole new Shpongle once, but cannot wait toget this one :)

    I managed to sit through it many many times, once 2wice in a row.

     

    'Without thought' sounds a bit annoying at this stage <_<

    'timeless esp' sounds dark :)

    Funny tracks?

    There's one that stands high above the rest: Texas Faggott's Back to Mad.

    She sounds like a gym instructor gone into madness~~ :D

    The last quarter of that track just goes nuts!! :lol:

    Hehe, the neverending subject: Shpongle perfection or not?  :)

    The exact name of the cd is "Voices of Istanbul". You certainly don't have it, that's why probably you think Simon put those samples smoothly... :)

     

    By all means, it's the last time I answer to Shpongle fan offensed by my critics concerning their idol (I begin to feel a little bit tired to repeat everytime the  same obvious things).

     

    Nevertheless, I respect your point of view concerning lost Eden.

    I knew the name was wrong in some way. I certainly do not have the cd - but I've known those lyrics from way back - it's been sang by multiple Turkish singers. So I can envision what the sample would sound like :rolleyes:

     

    "Nevertheless, I respect your point of view concerning lost Eden."

    thanks ;)

    worst tracks:

    11 - boring smelly clubby chanting sample - it ruins it  :huh:  <_<

    13 - very very bad - why go funky raja? oh no the smelly sample is back!  :o

    16 - i cant stand the party/rave sample at the start - its HORRIBLE

     

     

    after lisning to them a few more times ... i take it back.. ;) still not the greatest tracks but a fun to listen

    that the use of samples in "around the World in a tea daze" are shameful

    271631[/snapback]

    The last time you said that I was very close to saying something...

    And this time I will.

     

    I thought your sampling from 'Sounds of Istanbul sample cd' was shameful. Simon put it together very smoothly.

    Sample CD driven fx masturbation.

    But how right those samples need to be selected is the important part - and what use you put it to.

     

    I disagree with some of the samples he's used for this album.

     

    My fav tracks so far..

     

    2 - why are people so against it? I think its very shpongly ;)

    4 - very good vocals B)

    6 - 6-8 is the '..day turns to night' of S3

    7 - best on the whole album - and one of the best shpongle moments :rolleyes:

    this track made me laugh many times - unbeleivalby good :lol:

    14 - brilliant vocals by H.O, I have no idea what your saying but thank you :rolleyes:

    9 - except for how the volcals come into play (repeating and fading in - cheap)

    10 - nice & smooth saxaphone

    17 - the only good flute work by raja on this entire album :( oh and I love the terrence sample that is in this :)

     

    worst tracks:

    11 - boring smelly clubby chanting sample - it ruins it :huh:<_<

    13 - very very bad - why go funky raja? oh no the smelly sample is back! :o

    16 - i cant stand the party/rave sample at the start - its HORRIBLE

    I just hope with more listning I will grow to love the tracks that I hate.

    This album shares some of the brightest moments, and the dullest in the entire series.

    I just hope it truely isnt the very 'last' we hear from Shpongle. :unsure:

    Well that was fun. Just woke out of my post-Shpongle daze. Can someone please identify the really funky track Simon played with the horns and such, after all the Shpongle stuff? I overheard someone saying "James Bond" but it didn't sound like James Bond to me...

    269721[/snapback]

    Now im begining to wonder.

    If it sounds anything like JamesBond i'd most likely hate it.

    IMO the 007 is the worst theme song ever! <_<

    and have heard it live as well when Simon last in Oz...

    I didnt realise some of those tracks were from Shpongle 3 until the other day!

     

    FIRST time through the album:

    I skipped the first 3 tracks (beija flor) and went on straight to the fourth.

    I didnt quite understand the concept behind most of the tracks, the composition just seemed to lead me to nowhere. By the time it had passed halfway through I started to get fustrated... Did Simon and Raja fail us? :(

     

    SECOND time:

    Things slowly started to make sense, I had my first smile... I was liking it

     

    THIRD time:

    I laughed at one time, this shit is good!

     

    and so on :D I love it!! :P:lol:

     

    little complaints here and there due to sounds that are a bit tacky

    + I thought at times we need a moment of peace with a touch of ambience Eg. the last 1.5minutes of 'Hoorey' from Tales album :unsure:

     

    OH and my biggest dissapointment has to be the absence of the great silver flute... barely any tracks had it.. and the ones that did, it always came in at the wrong time and the taste was too jazzy :blink:

     

    My fav Raja flute line: "hoorey" "monster hit"

     

     

    Thanks Posford :)
