I think what Surrender is trying to say is, if you stripped out all the wonderful samples (captured/produced by Eric Persing and Roby Duke for Spectrasonics) from Shpongle's music, it may not seem as incredible. I mean, just listening to that Vocal Planet "world" demo made me think I was hearing a stripped mix intro of DMT.

Personally, I think Raja Ram's flute is the true brilliance of Shpongle, and would be fine with just hearing Raja play his flute solo. Maybe he should make HIS OWN sample disc! Then any producer can feel free to buy and use Raja's flute in their productions!

It all comes down to timing. The fact that Simon worked these samples into his music before most other producers in the scene makes it seem beyond fantastic at first, until people discover the truth of the matter. The truth that part of Shpongle's "magic" relies on brilliant samples that ANYONE can purchase. If people are going to 'debunk' producer's techniques, they are in for a major surprise as the more you look, the more you will find that this practice is more than common in the scene.
