Cover: http://www.shpongle.com/hallucinogen/pictures/sleeve/sleeve-tales_of_the_inexpressable.jpg
01 - Dorset Perception
02 - Star Shpongled Banner
03 - A New Way to Say "hooray"
04 - Room 23
05 - My Head Feels Like a Frisbee
06 - Shpongleyes
07 - Once Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness
08 - Around the World in a Tea Daze
09 - Flute Fruit
I'll begin with a quote about this album from Simon Posford's site:
"After more than a years absence, Raja and Simon are back with another mind blowing album from Shpongle not satisfied with worldwide recognition and sales in excess of 30,000 copies from the first album, Simon Posford and his sonic co-pilot Raja Ram have set off again into the deepest recesses of sound to take you yet further on their journey into the unknown, with acoustic guitar, cello, Turkish operatic vocals, lyrics and backing vocals by Michele, rolling Moroccan drums, and Raja's unmistakable flute lines, the new album truly is a discover, as the epic track, 'Around the World in a Tea Daze' shows. Shpongle have blended the known with the unknown they have taken unique and timeless music influences and blended them with the digital mastery of Simon's sonic manipulation to bring about a perfect blending of the organic with technology." While some of you might think these words are subjective, so here I am to verify these words as the most accurate words I may find to describe this masterpiece.
Simon and Raja Ram raise the ambient scale and even the global music scale one level above with professional sound and highly invested production.
The album characterized with instruments mainly oriental which I can't even tell what made them, was it Simon's studio or was it Raja Ram's flute, anyway, in both cases you surely won't be able to tell the differences between Simon's studio and Raja Ram's flute.
Guaranteed enjoyment!

No it's not mizrahit it's the oriental influence the artists probabely got after the first album, anyway those oriental parts especially in Dorset Perception are IMHO the best!
Dorset Perception rules big time!!

Since you got this thread up again (a thing i wanted to do for some time now), i'll add my humble review.
I have no idea how many times i have listened to it since i bought it, but i do know that every i hear it, i discover some more in this amazing CD. I love each and every one of the tracks. All of them are very expressive and beautiful, and simply takes me to places.
This disk is one of the best in combining both electronic and acoustic instruments.
Although i loved all the track, some are exceptionally amazing, such as Around the world in a tea daze (a great name also), My head feels like a frisbee, Dorset perception and Flute fruit.
This CD is absolutely amazing and emotional, and i can't wait to Simon & Raja's next release.
Peace & Luv

After the realese of the Ineefable Mysteries I went and listen again all shpongle albums, and this one sounded incredible again, it complements a lot Ineefable.
 "The dedication to repetition — the search for nirvana in a single held tone or an endlessly cycling rhythm — is one of electronic music's noblest gestures." |

Well remembered Login.
Shpongle are undoubtedly a musical reference to transfer a very spiritual experience
In my point of view, Once Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness, and Fruit and Flute are timeless.
Something that has the power to calm the brains busiest by the pressure of today's society.
