I’ll admit to following Clint’s lead on this one, and in keeping a naturally dorky blog entertaining, I’m starting up my own monthly blog on what’s in my Winamp.
Shpongle- Tales of the Inexpressible
I love Shpongle.. but I’ve yet to hear any combination of really dense electronic music mixed with classical/acoustic instruments that I don’t love. I’ve never heard anything like these guys though- it’s completely goofy and ultra-happy in ways I’ve not heard attempted by anything other than Celtic Cross.. which is basically the same group. Simon Posford and Raja Ram’s electronic work fits fantastically with classical guitar, flute, and a totally random mix of cello and English/Hindi-speaking vocalists. As eccentric an album as it may be, it will grow on you. I can’t listen to anything Shpongle has done and be in a bad mood.
