sooo excited about this i just hope they don't oversell the tickets again. the one thing that ruins a party more than anything else is having a dancefloor so rammed that you all you can do is jump up and down in a strictly vertical motion. and i've heard brixton can be especially bad for this... we shall see...

yeah, I'm getting this from the samples. Don't get me wrong, I think theyre great, they just don't have the the 'i want to get and dance around the room' vibe that songs like 'evil and harm' and 'scanner' had Think this one is going to be different, very much looking forward to hearing the rest.

Tickets have just gone on sale for this. £21.50 from the twisted site. Hope to see some of you crazies there

Ok, have just become rather excited about this It's perfect timing (right after i finish my exams and just before i leave eng for a year), great line up (even hybrid are playing ) and it's outdoors. I just hope i can persuade some friends to come, otherwise cud be a lonely festival for me! Can't get online to the site, anyone know roughly how much tickets are gonna cost?

Said this before but BT's new album 'This Binary Universe' is an absolute MUST buy if your into ambient. By far the best ambient album ive heard this side of the millennium. It even has a DVD extra which has some really cool visualisation/3D animation to go with the music, and its all in surround sound so it sounds amazing! oh and i second seraph's recommendation of the orb, awesome group (U.F. Orb is their best, IMO)

hmmmm.... i don't really like to put shpongle in this genre. The whole point of shpongle (for me anyway) is that it doesn't adhere to any of the boundaries set by genres, it's whatever you want it to be. Sure, the one tangible thing between the songs is that they all have some degree of psychedelia, but they have so many other elements/genres (yes, even pop!) to them that i personally wouldn't compare the project to more 'conventional' (for lack of a better word) psy/goa trance.

My home town salisbury is about as boring as they get, so don't go there (unless your around in time for the summer soltsice which is always a laugh, partying in stonehenge and all ) . My favourite cities in england are: london (camden town again seconded), Brighton&Cornwall (great parties on the beach during the summer) and birmingham is pretty cool as well, close to where i live now so go there quite a bit, never disappoints the bristol music scene is still good as well Feel free to PM me when you come over, would be more than happy to show you around, organise some parties/good nights out etc if you decide to visit anywhere near me (that is providing im still in the country, leaving for argentina in august.... ).

Not sure if this has been posted before, but has anyone heard the 2 new younger brother tracks from their next album on their myspace page? They're not the complete songs, but are long enough to get a good gist of what they're like. What you think? I've only just listened to them for the first time now, and must say I'm certainly enjoying them. Love the use of guitar in alliwant. Look forward to hearing the rest at brixton

Just got the email for this and my holy god, what an awesome line up. This will be even better than shpongle live. I'm so fucking excited, especially as i missed just about every one of them at the last twisted party due to spending most of the night in the goa/tribe of frog room and not realising how fast time went by... Let's get those tickets on sale!! Who's gonna come then?

I really hope if OTT plays live then he plays some blumenkraft stuff too. As much as i love hallucinogen in dub i would have to say blumenkraft is my favourite out of the two

Not sure about speakers, but all i can say is if you get some really good ones, make sure you have a quality amp to run them off. We had a great set up for our last house party, but a shit amp which blew half way through. So we were stuck without music for an hour whilst my friend drove to his to pick up another one. Well annoying.

Nooo idea, that's been up in the air for months. I'm guessing they might abandon it now though if theyre doing a 4th CD, as it was supposed to contain all of their CDs. Ah well, would rather a new album tbh

He probably doesn't like the venue, doesn't think it's good enough for shpongle You're right though, twas a bit silly of them to book it if this is how raja felt about it... As for shpongle 4, I'm going to be optimistic and say late 2008, early 2009

You've already had them. It's OUR turn now

Bollocks, bollocks, bollocks. Perhaps my most anticipated live event of the year has just been cancelled. Raja Ram doesn't want to play in Brixton Academy and theyve already booked it, so they're not going to be doing Shpongle Live anymore From Shpongle's myspace page: Still the possibility of a younger brother launch party with OTT live is pretty damn good (in fact, it's pretty damn amazing ), as is the confirmation of Shpongle 4. Can't help but to feel disappointed though, I was looking forward to this SO much

Liquid Records Party Apparently phutureprimitive is gonna be presenting his second album at the liquid records party on 16th March. If all goes to plan I should hopefully be there. Can't wait! Hope it matches up to the first Anyone else going?

I downloaded a song from this album, really like it. Been trying to find a copy of it, but everywhere seems to be out of stock. Anyone know where i can buy/download this album?

+1. I prefer when artists change their sound rather than just release the same record over and over again, even if the new sound isn't as good as the old one(s). I don't think Nothing Lasts... is their best album, but I'm glad they released that rather than just releasing another tales of the inexpressible

Has anyone heard BT's new album 'This Binary Universe'? Not really mainstream chillout but IMO it's quite possibly the best ambient album to be released this decade. I got it for christmas and i cant stop listening to it. It's absolutely stunning, BT's really outdone himself on this one

Like the topic. Can we have some more examples of this please? I don't have a lot of the tracks/CDs that have been mentioned so far and am eager to get out there and buy some good stuff

Update for www.myspace.com/therealshpongle: Sounds goooooood to me. Although i have to agree that I don't like the idea of seeing Shpongle in the brixton academy, it's a bit of a dingy shit hole (last time i was there anyway). Also, I'm not sure I like the idea of a sit down set, although haven't made up my mind yet. It could be VERY cool, but at the same time i always feel the need to dance when a lot of shpongle songs are played May is going to be an awesome music month for me if this goes ahead: roger waters performing dark side of the moon and then shpongle live, can't get much better than that

So, anyone got any good christmas psy parties theyre planning to go to? I believe if off to the acid monkey one on the 16th of dec in london (that is if i can earn back all the debt i'm in before then ). Can't wait!

bollocks, i cant believe i missed this. Bristol's well easy for me to get to.... I need to check the party section more often anyone go?

Sounds great. I shall be there. I missed them when i was at the twisted party. Time flies so damn fast when your on a dancefloor listening to good music.
