Shpongle is an English psychedelic music project formed in 1996. The group includes Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram (one third of The Infinity Project). The duo are considered to be one of the progenitors of the psybient genre - a genre combining world music with psychedelic trance and ambient. Their musical style combines traditional music from all over the globe and vocals with contemporary western synthesizer-based psychedelic music. When asked to describe Shpongle's music, Posford has responded that it is "like nothing you've ever heard before." Shpongle's first track, "Vapour Rumours", was released on TIP Records' Infinite Excursions compilation in 1996. Their debut album, Are You Shpongled?, was released in 1998 on Twisted Records. On 9 September 2014, Simon Posford confirmed that work has begun on a sixth album.
Posford is generally responsible for the synthesizers, studio work, and live instrumentation while Raja Ram contributes broad musical concepts and flute arrangements. Raja Ram stated in an interview that "Shpongle" is an umbrella term for feeling positive and euphoric emotions. Shpongle's music is heavily influenced by psychedelic experiences and frequently makes use of sonic textures that approximate psychedelic states as well as vocal samples relating to consciousness expansion, hallucinations, and altered states of awareness. For example, the track, "A New Way to Say 'Hooray,'" contains a vocal sample of Terence McKenna describing the effects of DMT, and the most popular song from their first album, 'Divine Moments of Truth', alludes to the abbreviation DMT.

"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 mor...
Psytrance/tribal at its best. "Are You Shpongled? packs the CD with over 77 minutes of mind-bending, trippy ethnoambient experimentation. It covers everything from smooth dub to wicked drum 'n' bass to mellow jazz to spaced-out lounge to energetic trance, sometimes within the course of a single track. There is NO genre that typifies this sound, since it borrows a little from everything. That may at first suggest that the album is jarring and disjointed, but that is hardly true. In fact, Are You Shpongled? should win an award for its seamless and unbelievably smooth flow. Somehow, Posford and Ram manage to work rhythmic and stylistic shifts that take place over such long stretches of time (without being boring) that they seem not to happen. Any producer in the world could stand to learn so...

Some of the tracks go so well together that I'm somewhat surprised Simon and Raja didn't write them that way themselves. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it and give thanks to the one and only Shpongle.

Few questions day before concert.
..crashed spacecraft. An explanation that folks,
sentient, extra terrestrial entities are somehow active
on Earth. But certainly there is a vast (...) entity
(...) on the phenomena of unidentified flying objects.
We can not rule out the possibility that creatures, who
may well be superior to us, are interested in what is
happening on our Earth. These unidentified flying objects
that appear to display unique characteristics, such as
their speed, their rapid manouvering and so on, must be
studied in the interest of mankind.
I do not subscribe to the views that some foregists have
that this is of the mind... I believe that there is
undoubtedly something...
It's 3:00 on what may well be the most important
afternoon... in the history of this world. Humanity's
first contact with an extraterrestrial species.
We're receiving the transmission. We're seeing some sort
of vapor. I don't know, a gas or something. Wait.
Something is happening.
