...to discover Shpongle, but holy crap, are they fantastic.

You ever find yourself wishing there was a certain kind of music in the world, then discovering there is? Yeah, it's like that. I journeyed to 'Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland' the other night: Fantastic! It seems so clearly to be meant to synergize with the psychedelic experience. Simon Posford and Raja Ram have really got something here.

Can anyone recommend any other music, either by Posford or otherwise, that hits a similar vein? I've been a fan of Goa/Psytrance for some time, but there's an element in Shpongle which seems to differ from the likes of, say, Infected Mushroom or 1200 Mics. I'd like to find more music with that kind of feel.

Hey there,
I traveled on the same ticket myself recently - and I completely agree with you. Absolutely wonderful music.
I would recommend these albums: they are different in sound but similar in their brilliance.

Albums by the Infinity Project:
1. The Mystery of the Yeti - Part I (with Posford, Raja Ram, Graham Wood, Total Eclipse, Doof)
2. The Mystery of the Yeti - Part II
3. Eclipse - A Journey of Permanence & Impermanence
4. Graham Wood - Noises from the Darkness

Albums by Twisted Artists:

Ott:
1. Blumenkraft
2. Skylon
3. Mir

Younger Brother:
1. A Flock of Bleeps
2. The last days of Gravity

You should visit the Twisted Records website for more artists and compilations.
www.twisted.co.uk

Additionally, I found these two albums (released by Geomagnetic Records: http://www.geomagnetic.tv/) to be really fantastic.
1. Children of the Blue Ray - Vol. 1 - 13 Moons
2. Children of the Blue Ray - Vol. 2 - Awaken 2013

Thanks to your post I got a hold of their website and am now transfixed by the amount of music I still have to hear.

Lol, I just discovered them last week. The 1st tune I listened to was Divine Moments of Truth, with headphones on. Blew my mind. I was a huge Yes fan back in the day and these guys remind me of them only on DMT. Shpongle's done an amazing job of trying to put ineffable psychedelic audio into physical form, much like Alex Grey does for visual.

Shpongle is fantastic! My favorite song is probably Star Shpongled Banner, for some reason it justs connects with me on a really deep level.

I envy your position Thesmorphia!

I wish I still had the option to go through all of Shpongle's albums and listen to them the first time. Enjoy this blessed period of your earthly existence.

Peace and Happy Journeys Smile

Thanks for the suggestions, Serpient. I've been doing some digging, and found quite a lot of stuff to enjoy. The 'Mystery of the Yeti' albums are great, and I'm enjoying a couple of compilations called 'The Unusual Suspects'.

In particular, I get a huge kick out of a collab by Hallucinogen and Tristan called 'Stretch Tastic': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9gLXY2pVlM

Very much up the Shpongle alley.

Ah, trance music. Will you ever cease to amaze me?

Yeah, I love Shpongle! I was lucky enough to see their 20th Anniversary set in Ozora last year and I was blown away Shocked

Do you know Vibrasphere? It's not eclectic as Shpongle, but it's worth a try.
