Shpongle

小簡介
Simon Posford和Raja Ram在1997年合組Shpongle.Simon是Twisted Records的創(chuàng)辦者, 以Hallucinogen為名,推出一首又一首讓人無法自拔的Trance;Raja Ram是個吹笛的老先生,Shpongle里的經(jīng)典旋律都是他的杰作,他在1969年創(chuàng)立Quintessence樂團,以印度音樂融合爵士和前衛(wèi)搖滾,在當(dāng)時的全球Woodstock嬉皮風(fēng)潮中,應(yīng)該在英國獨樹一格吧.Shpongle是一個Trance音樂的組織,利用電子儀器混音合成并以人為出發(fā)點創(chuàng)造出一種新的Trance音樂風(fēng)格,很多人覺得他們的音樂是Psytrance,也有很多人覺得他們的音樂是Ambient...他們的音樂極富包容性,融合了西班牙語,印度,中國,非洲國家的味道;在電子合成器下加入了brazilian batucada beats, flamenco solo, piano solo等器樂以及一些處理過的人聲...他們的音樂風(fēng)格是十分多元化的,不能以一種風(fēng)格來定義.Ambient? Chill out? New Age? Trance? worldmusic?....Shpongle說:"你覺得它是什么音樂就是什么，由你決定"。
Simon Posford and Raja Ram are Shpongle, an ambient techno/trance project formed in 1996 after the pair viewed a solar eclipse in India. The two went into the studio and attempted to duplicate the experience in sonic form, and the result was a 20-minute track, "...And the Day Turned to Night," which was featured on a Twisted label compilation titled Eclipse. Shpongle's full-length debut album, Are You Shpongled?, was released in early 1999.
