Basically, a duo making psychedelic ambient, mostly electronic, but sometimes with "real" instruments as well, such as flutes and guitars. They've made three albums, supposedly the third one was their last. Are You Shpongled? Tales Of The Inexpressible and Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost You might want to try them. Heck, I like both their stuff and some of what Oldfield does, so why wouldn't you?   If you actually do, try the first album... first. All of them are completely different in atmosphere and style.   Back to top

Shpongle is nice and different... -------------- "But it's always the outsider, the black sheep, that becomes the blockbuster." - Mike Oldfield, 2014 "I remember feeling that I'd been judged unfairly and that I was going to prove them wrong." - Peter Davison, 2011 Back to top

Never heard of Shpongle but I'm open to new experiences so I'll keep an eye open for them, Cheers, Tracy. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top
