I was, and I’m still thinking how to do this whole blog thing…. But anyhow it goes, one thing is sure for sure…..: This is the album what changed essentially my viewpoint in life, perspective of music, gave a push, a twist a twirl and a shake. …….. I have listened it thousands of times already, but still is a mystery, every time I go to listen it drives me to it’s own weird and wonderful world in an other dimension: ShpongleLand…
1st of October 1998, this seven tracks getting out from the Twisted Records, and sets up the standards of the psychedelic downtempo, chillout music..
Since then, like mushrooms, artists and albums are coming all the time with very nice material. But in this sort of ambient, “Are You Shpongled?” is the main line and the roots of all of the ‘new’ psychedelic chillout even after 11 years…
