glad you're enjoying it.  Yeah, they're something special.  Mostly Simon Posford, but Raja Ram's influence is awesome as well.

I'm enjoying the new album, though Tales is still their best imo.

Agreed Jimmy. They've been on a very gradual downhill since Tales, but it's still been 4 solid albums.

So I've never heard of these guys, but I already adore one world/electronic fusion band (Afro Celt Sound System) so I'm currently on Spotify listening to Tales of the Inexpressible. So far I'm liking it - definitely similar to ACSS's first album, in a good way. A bit more repetitious than ACSS though, but I'm not bored by any of the songs yet. Looks like I might have a new discography to sink my teeth into. :tup

After a few more listens, I'm actually liking it a lot more. Brain in a Fishtank, Aquatic Gardens, and Further Adventures are the big standouts for me right now.

How The Jellyfish Jumped Up The Mountain is a favorite of mine at the minute. I love the repeating, weird guitary melody around the 7 minute mark.

I listened to the first few tracks and it sounded a bit more uptempo/party style, while still retaining all the Shpongle elements.

This one seems to turn it around quite a bit. I think it's miles ahead of Ineffable Mysteries.

Just a heads up for the Shpongle crowd here (I know there are quite a few here at DTF). I just started streaming their latest (released two days ago) and just upon hearing the first couple of tracks I got the digital download straight away. No question, Shpongle at their shpongliest. Doing what they do best, love it.

Exactly the reason why I posted it. It's easy to lose sight of them, but the albums they've made throughout their 20+ years of existence are essential for me. I'd imagine there'd be people here who'd be interested.

Greetings Shpongleoids!

'Tis no ill wind; the band has released full-length video of last year's final show at Red Rocks: https://youtu.be/uRiTKZfsMQQ
Enjoyable, to say the least.
Human by Nature (prog-infused psychedelic metal): https://linktr.ee/hbnearth
Our debut album "Eläimys" is a trip I can whole-heartedly recommend to anyone into Pain of Salvation, Opeth, The Mars Volta, Magma etc.
