Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland

Description

After three groundbreaking albums in a decade, the internationally renowned electronic project Shpongle returned from what fans feared was the end of the project when ‘Nothing Lasts but Nothing is Lost’, their third album, was released. Not ready to leave us hanging, the pioneers of electronic music, Simon Posford and Raja Ram, continued to push and break boundaries to create yet another sonic masterpiece: Shpongle's much-anticipated fourth album, ‘Ineffable Mysteries from Shpongleland’. There are languages here that Shpongle fans will know and love as much as their previous works, and yet there are enormous advancements in terms of production techniques, sonic trickery, structure, and direction from all previous releases to date. With influences ranging from Steve Reich and Mike Oldfield to Batman movies and beyond, this is truly another ‘over-the-top’ record in terms of production skills, tonal textures, and original Shpongle ideas. It is rich in detail and emotion, in worldly and unworldly samples and inspirations, and in harmonic and melodic construction.
