I thought that Banco was the best thing i had ever heard(magical Sounds...Ive spent many nights+days with that album and my Mushroom Friends)anyway..I thought it was the best until i heard Shpongle's Tales of the Inexpressible.Now that IS a Tripped-out Bonrattlin' ride. Go on give it a go....go on.
Better than Magical Sounds? Heavy concept but I'll check it out :O)
Sounds like a plug to me ............???
Sounds pretty good from the samples at cdnow.com, but while we're on the subject, my vote for album of the year, or maybe last year, is Dub Trees' album 'Nature never did betray the heart that loved her'. The guy behind it is Youth, once of the Orb. The album is awesome from start to finish - perfect electronic music. And no, this is not a plug, just a totally satisfied customer. Go to http://www.liquidsounddesign.com - it appear's that this is Youth's label.
Is that the same simon posford aka hallucinogen? that lovely bloke is responsible for some of my weirdest nights.. fantastic stuff. I'll have to have a listen to tales... tata
I don't remember posting that.............!! Ted, any ideas who did??? (good point though!)
And I WAS on the Tom Robinson show last week!
I'M Jamie and so is my wife.
Well thanks to Jamie for the old Hallucinogen nights around the place...and yes Magical Sounds is awesome, and Tales I have just got hold of. But how can anything match CD2 of Last Train when it comes to the come down, that infinite variation is a truly amazing place to be, no plugs, its a dead heat
mmmmmm yessssssss........Tales is one of my top 5 all time favorite albums! i HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend it! i was also just recently discovered some VERY tasty treats by the name of Waterjuice, the album is Hydrophonics. these guys have a similar sound to Shpongle, and are quite amazing.....go get it!! :D
I think guys you shod better listen to Shpongles's "Are You Shpongled?" album, 'cause i think it's better than his second album.
On the subject of Simon P, Dub Trees, etc...Be sure to check out the following: -Evil and Harm, by Younger Brother -The Receptive, by Younger Brother -Aqua Sufi, Industrial Suicide Tribe -Divine Moments of Truth (LIVE STUDIO MIX), Shpongle -Kumba Mela, Dub Trees *these are some of my all time favorites, and all involve Simon Posford
Check out the man called "Karkovsky" or "Karkowski", I listened his single and it's very impressive..... And of course shpongle is as impressive as Banco, too :)
speaking as an ageing hippy generally happiest when listening to gong and almost totally unaware of any music which does not have it's roots firmly in the early 70s, i find it just a little gobsmacking to find reference to both banco and shpongle on my computer screen at the same time. i know maya, igezeh and the shpongle albums, all awesome. so where next? i cannot stand fast boom boom music, i checked out hallucinogen but it was too much for me. next stop waterjuice, any suggestions would be nice, man
RE: Craig's post 22Oct/2k2: I must correct - only b/c I love Banco's work And Youth's band of origin - Killing Joke . . .The Orb SPUN OUT of Killing Joke - "Dr." Alex Patters. was their drum roadie in the eighties . . .Youth's also worked w/Ben Watkins pre(80's)-and during Juno Reactor - JR remixed (w/Youth?) Exorcism and ab. 2 more for Killing Joke on their Pandemonium CD. Anyone know of somewhere in L.A. that c arries "Dub Trees...", I've tried the used bins, Tower, Rockaway, Arons, Vynil Fetish and Amoeba and NO LUCK . . .
If you are looking for DUB TREES then one thing to consider is ordering it on the website linked on my original post. It's a little cryptic but worth wading through. I got lucky and managed to order it through a local retailer and it took around 6 weeks to get. I also found a listing for it on CDNOW.com: http://cdnow.com/cgi-bin/mserver/SID=21471754/pagename=/RP/CDN/FIND/album.html/artistid=DUB+TREES/itemid=1550270 but it doesn't have any info about it.
Well, since the original post I gone out and bought both of Shpongle's CDs - very impressive, really well done stuff. Anyone else going to recommend anything?
check out waterjuice's hydrophonics.....wicked stuff, also a positve life is definitely worth looking into, and the latest from amorphous androgynous (future sound of london) the isnes is a must have. what else are you listening to?
For you guys who liked Are you Shpongled? and Tales of the ... You really shoudl get the newest release, Hallucinogen in Dub (which I think should answer madjohn's question). Amazing compilation. I saw Simon P live here in San Francisco last year. Mind blowing.
geoff: check out Global Communication, Solea Amphibia, Sounds From The Ground, Rauschfaktor, Fresh Moods, Redshift, Ozric Tentacles, Korai Orom
er...try these, damn good trippy stuff celtic cross-hicksville dub trees-east of the river ganges. dreadzone-360 dub,biological radio,etc amoda and the tranceformers-ecstacy. sacred spirit II. loop guru. eclipse album from T.I.P records(shpongles on it!) KLF-chill out. afro celt sound system. trans global underground(some of it anyway) black star liner....?? and many,many more
er...here is the punctuation that is missing from the above list....um,sorry about that....(embaressed druggy laugh)
Picked up a couple of albums by Infected Mushroom the other day, kinda like Shpongle meets Eat Static.. Well worth checking out.
After checking out Royksopp the other night, which was backed up by Fc Kahuna... Top reconmendation to check out this sound. Royksopp had an hard act to follow :)
found some more new heavy groovy shit to check out... soma - stygian vista makyo - shringara eternal basement - magnet sasha - airdrawndagger christopher lawerence - exposure IV this is whats at the top of my playlist at the moment. also got deepsky's latest in silico....not bad at all.
man that was sloppy, let me write that list again here....soma - stygian vista, makyo - shringara, eternal basement - magnet, sasha - airdrawndagger, christopher lawerence - exposure IV, deepsky - in silico :D
Don't rate Air Drawn Dagger that much... serious under achievement from the man like... Crazy Penis - The Wicked Is Music The Polyphonic Spree - The Beginning Stages Of... Alpinestars - White Noise Crystal Method - Tweekend + tonnes more...
DJ Shadow, 6 days is a top track
Listening to Radio1 last night Mab???
Hey guys! Well my favorites are: Banco, Shpongle, Deep Forest's Music.Detected, Delerium's Karma & Semantic Spaces (yeah, these are oldish), Ivan Kupala (not really "dubbish"; the only one that is worth in russia). And I'v just found Entheogenic. Close to Shpongle, but I haven't listened to it much to give a proper estimate :-) Would be interesting to hear Toby's opinion on all these. I heard he hates almost all modern music except Radiohead?
No Calvin, why did I miss something?? it would be bloody typical!!!
when it comes down to it, Simon is an amazing artist, not excluding the talent with whom he works. The Lone Deranger is also an awesome album. And, of course, Backroom Beats, when one wants to kick back.
Backroom Beats? Tell me more! Is this the name of an album or yet another disguise for the cunning Mr Posford?
Wow...this thread has kept it's track for months! What a rare find in the world of bbs. And u peeps have a refreshing sense of taste! Posford also did some amazing ambient work on Mystery of the Yeti (if u all r into that sort of thing) And on that line, Woob is a must hear. Both 1194 and emt4495. Now can someone elaborate on the 'Backroom Beats' post? I wouldn't want to miss out on any Posford works.
nm....i'll answer the end of my own last post...'Backroom Beats' being not a Posford alias or album but a Twisted Rec. compilation....good stuff from the looks of the lineup, though i'll have to wait 2 weeks to hear it for myself. *sigh*
Yeah i heard the Woob-emt4495 album some time back, was very good. I seem to remember that there was a few albums out on that label that all followed a 'theme' if you can call it that... Wasn't there one by 'Gas' as well?
I know this is a really old thread, but I just wanted to say thank you to anemonE (if you're still around). As a big Shpongle/Banco fan I was intrigued by your recommendation for Waterjuice's "Hydrophonics". I finally managed to track down a copy and I can only say that it's a gem. In return, can I offer Midival Punditz album - two New Delhi DJs' beats meet traditional Indian vocals and instruments. Nearly album of the year for me. Their website features some very good samples.
hey nick...i'm still lurking around here. glad to hear that you are diggin' waterjuice. i will check out midival punditz, thanks for the recommendation. you might also want to look into violet vision's first sign of communication. its on the same lines as waterjuice, think you will really it. :)
So many good bands mentioned here. Can't believe you lot haven't gone mad on another one of Simon's buddies.. OTT. Blumenkraft, his new album is the best thing I've heard in years. Just come back from Glasters and saw them on the Glade stage with Posford and some other guy performing Hallucinogen in dub live!! Blew me away. Go check his album. Shpongle were equally as good live.
Hi everyone We are market/festival traders and we noticed that you lot are having difficulty finding a lot of music that is mentioned on this thread......well....... we carry a lot of it....if anyone is interested,send us an e-mail and we'll send you a catalogue of what we carry. we do mail order too :) Steve n Lonnie Mezzanine Dream
P.S. the email addy is mezzaninedream@hotmail.com
hi everyboddy
Saw OTT and posford too. what a bunch of nutters! certainly the memorable moment of glasto 2003. The speak and spell face pulling session was fantastic. Bought Blumenkraft the next morning and been listening to it ever since. It is very good.
There's a German chappie with a band/act called genetic drugs. People keep calling them the german banco. The albums called Spacecake, it's not quite Big Men Cry but it's worth a listen
Also, there is a remix of Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze on 6 Stringadelica album. It's by the Mevlovskys??? I have heard that it is a posford/ram novelty tune and they're just going by the name Mevlovskys. It's what I call Psy Trance at it's best. Can any one confirm that it's posford?
Hey! What's all this? another Nick! I don't know! I bugger off on holiday for a couple of weeks and come back to find someone trading my moniker. This needs a solution. I have an idea: Other Nick (Lees?), I'll be Big Nick. If you're over my height (which is 6ft 7in) then you can be Big Nick. Sound like a plan? Cheers, Nick
And yet another Nick, I shall be NickO. I was gutted not being able to go to Glastonbury, still the Canterbury Fayre line up looks good. I picked up BLUMENKRAFT a couple of weeks ago, and I can?t stop playing it, I consider it a masterpiece.
Greetings NickO! Not related to John by any chance? Glastonbury was good this year. I liked the Lost Stage - an easy place to lose a few hours, whether leaping around to something trancey at night, or chilling to some bluegrass (hurrah for String Cheese Incident) in the early(ish) morning. Hope they'll get the ticketing a bit more sorted next year so we can all go. Cheers, Big Nick
@Paul, I was at the glade for all the twisted stuff as well, it was all wicked. But do u know if it was actually sphongle stuff he played, or was it more hallucinogen stuff. It was brilliant, but it seemed a bit bangin to be sphongle....
@Paul again!, just noticed your email address...so your templeheadz then??!!...really like the mix of yours thats on the audio page. have u any stuff out?? Page: 1 · 2 · 3 · 4 · 5 · 6 · 7 · 8 · 9 ·10 → 1-50 of 621 posts
