I realize this isn't Hip Hop, but dammit it's Aphex Twin. Back in April, a test pressing of an unreleased 1994 Aphex Twin album called Caustic Window surfaced online. It was originally listed for sale for $13,500 on Discogs, but before it was sold, a Kickstarter was launched where fans could pay for a digital copy of the album. The Kickstarter was funded in May, raising $67,424. Today, the Kickstarter supporters received their digital copies. [Pitchfork] http://bit.ly/1yfNy08

00:00 — Dorset Perception 08:13 — Star Shpongled Banner 16:35 — A New Way to Say 'Hooray!' 25:07 — Room 2 Om 30:12 — My Head Feels Like a Frisbee 39:05 — Shpongleyes 48:01 — Once Upon the Sea of Blissful Awareness 55:32 — Around the World in a Tea Daze 1:06:54 — Flute Fruit
Shpongle designs sounds to pet your brain. «Star Shpongled Banner» is a hauntingly melodious track with the kind of vocal that an oak tree would emit if it could sing. «Around the World in a Tea Daze» is an elegant masterpiece of opera/electronic music fusion. I say «electronic music» even though the term is too vague to be useful. «Around the World in a Tea Daze» hops around from quasi drum n' bass at the beginning to downtempo to more trancy goa, and from Opera to Middle-Eastern vocals back to Opera — seamlessly. Nothing forced and nothing short of brilliant.
The music is, of course, psychedelic, so don't buy it if you lack imagination (like that one reviewer who called it junk did). But, since you're on this page, you were probably checking out Simon Posford's psytrance alterego, Hallucinogen, or scoping out the more industrial Juno Reactor, or investigating Doof or Man With No Name, so I'm sure you have plenty of imagination.
If you are looking for beauty, I guarantee you've found it in Shpongle's Tales of the Inexpressible. If you are looking for new-sounding instrumentation and novel high-tech sounds, you've found it here, too. Looking for some Latin influences or some Middle-Eastern sounds and some straight-up unique musical blends? Look no further than Shpongle. Looking for trippy stuff? Found it. Looking for quality music in general? Again, this is it.
To give you a better idea of where I am coing from...I listen to trance mostly, from epic to desert to psychedelic to progressive. In addition to my taste for trance, I listen to progressive house, and like breaks, and I count Dave Seaman, Nick Warren, John Digweed, Adam Freeland, and Sandra Collins among my favorite DJ's. Plus, I like ECSM BT a little better than the import Movement in Still Life BT and MUCH more than the US Movement in Still Life BT.
I CANNOT GIVE THIS ALBUM A HIGHER RECOMMENDATION. OF ALL THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC I'VE EVER LISTENED TO, THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. OF ALL THE MUSIC IN GENERAL I'VE EVER LISTENED TO, THIS IS AMONG THE BEST. SHPONGLE IS THE BEATLES OF ELECTRONIC MUSIC — HE CAN DO MANY DIFFERENT STYLES AS WELL AS OR BETTER THAN SPECIALISTS IN THOSE AREAS.
Buy this album — many mp3's of it are inferior in sound quality and you'll really want ultra-rich sound when listening to this. «The gnomes have found a new way to say hooray,» a Terence McKenna quote (he was the heir-apparent to Timothy Leary), is the happiest song — very well done. «Once Upon a Sea of Blissful Awareness» is a sublime track with divine female lyrics. (Jeremy Bates)
Do yourself a favor and get this album no matter you musical tastes. It will at-least stretch your mind and you will discover one of the best musicians that modern music has to offer.
