Inexpressibly awesome
Shpongle's music is a unique (as far as I know) mix of psychedelic trance and world music. I believe it's considered to fit within the "psybient" genre, but has a more "ethnic," "organic" sound than other music I've listened to in the genre, e.g., Phutureprimitive, Carbon-based Life Forms.
Shpongle has three albums so far, and "Tales of the Inexpressible" is the second. The tunes are catchier than on the first album ("Are You Shpongled?"), and stand independently unlike the third album ("Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost"), which needs to be listened to all the way through to be appreciated.
