Wow I was just listening to Shpongle and similar artists and switched over to RP. After just one other song this one started and for a moment I thought my playlist had taken over again.


Crazy bunch with their mind tricks ;

Eek! Now it’s 2024…. (Looks over shoulder) 
Reminds me of "The Persuaders" theme by John Barry
Ahah, where are those lyrics comming from?

So I just happened to be sitting here with my semi-new bluetooth headphones on because my wife is doing yoga. Pretty much the only time I use them. This song comes along and I think to myself "Hmph, I guess a lot of the music on this station is better with headphones." I who normally listen on a JBL bluetooth speaker. It takes some people longer to catch on I guess. :-)


Damned yoga so noisy! 😠
Reminds me of an early James Bond soundtrack!   GREAT TUNE!!   Thanx RP!   
If I only produced short films...

I love being shpongled
Not sure of the music, but I do like the artist name: Shpongle
I would 'love' to meet Mrs Kugla!
Come on... I dare you not to tell me this isn't playing in your head when you're frantically running away from a monster chasing you in the woods!
Well, it's about back to school time. Nice to get Mrs. Kugla ready for the new students!

+1 to 9, something in the "epiphany" section really got me today, and the purple too. LLRP!!
Mrs Kugla whare ARE you?
I'm sure someone has already posted this here, but someone appears to have used this song as a story prompt.

For some reason this makes me want to laugh maniacally and stick my pinkie in my mouth
The Epiphany of Mrs. Stephanie Anne Metcalf-Kugla occurred one morning in early December after she set her pear comtois, fresh from the case, down on the counter next to her keys at the corner bakery while she fumbled in her purse for the cash to pay for it. The tiny bit of pastry that was overhanging the doily was just sticky enough to adhere to the even smaller wayward piece of blotter paper that had been accidentally dropped there by the previous customer, who had fully intended to ingest it, and who was now frantically looking for it even as she sat herself down at a table and irretrievably embarked upon the trip that would forever alter the mood and decor in this quadrant of The Universe...
Delightfully creepy. 
This is strange. I give it a 7. 
Interesting...if nothing else1
As Bill likes to say, We've been 'Schpongled'

Exactly! The boss fight with Mrs. Kugla is a tough one!
I have obsessively watched all of their live performances on youtube. Can't wait to get my hands on some vinyl

Shades of early James Bond sound track.

So does the name "Shpongle".
 Every cool tune that awakens in our mind comes from a spark of genius.

Shpongle Taco Tuesday
I've been Shpongled, and I love it
When asked to describe Shpongle's music, Posford has responded that it is "like nothing you've ever heard before."

What he said...in a good way.
This is more like the after party

Must be worth eight cones at least.
Persuaders soundtrack version 2020
Like this more each time I hear it.

8 just for the name.
So which came first? The SF horror short story or this work? I like both of them, if you must know.
Sounds like an epic soundtrack!
A fitting soundtrack to 2020. 
shame -  there is no minus 10....
Hearing a lot of purple.
Love Spongle!  {#Motor}
"Right Honey, I'm off to take over the world, I'll see you for dinner, Mwa! Mwa!"
Have I had an Epiphany by Schpongle?
Scary stuff!
Simon Posford should be composing film scores. Or maybe he is under an assumed name? 
I love this shit.

Is your real name Mrs. Kugla?
The song that every reality TV show uses when something is going terribly wrong, or even awry. Watch out, Gordon Ramsay is coming for you!

For me, some aspects very reminiscent of songs that are part of the Alan Parsons Project album, "I, Robot."

Which translates to, I like it
what the Borg listen to in their cube. 
Cube Music. Ultra Violent.
Simon Posford is a god who walks amongst us. Gotta love me some Shpongle.
More Shpongle!
I  have been expecting you, Mr. Bond...
Thanks for getting me Shpongled, Bill.
Awesome set!  Riviera Paradise (Stevie Ray Vaughan) - Into Morocco (Chorus of Tribes) - The Epiphany of Mrs. Kugla (Shpongle)  Thank you for thoughtful presentation, RP!
entering the land of the fire nation
Part of it sounds like the intro for Jeff Wayne's musical version of The War of the Worlds.

Quickening research on AI in warfare, including drones, makes me think of the Terminator.  Coming to your reality soon.

I get very similar emails from Nigeria, but they're signed "Queen Xanxia."
I'm pretty sure it's a scam, though.
She says her home town is called Zanak, and I can't find any such place on the map.

 
Think in three dimensions.

This music sounds good, great to work with.

What an outstanding composition. Like having a flashback to an acid trip in my misspent youth. I sense the inspiration! Love this piece, so transporting to some alternate dimension!
Something out of a Star Wars like movie where the evil empire is tuning up their sinister fighter space ships with whatever death equipment they are equipped with.

2 plays in 30 days will indeed turn this tune into maybe a great underscore for Anderson Cooper's RidicuLists.  
This feels like a track from a lost Bond soundtrack - I mean that in a good way. I really like Shpongle but sometimes find the hyper "done too much DMT" beats a tad overwhelming. This slower BPM throb is much more to my tastes.
shpongled!
Everybody needs to be shingles sometime..

Wow, this tune still surprises me; hard to imagine how a tune like this is written unless you are seriously running away from a monster in the woods! Rock!

Big fan, and with a good sub their music is even cooler. Much like Yello.

 
I'd even say this sounds like it could be part of a Haunted House Rave....freaky and cool at the same time....and so true about the sub response on this....love it when it comes on when I'm driving....even with the headphones though it sounds really good....so I go 7 to 8 and say Long Live RP!!

Great music to listen too while stargazing! 🌌
This could totally have come from an old Doctor Who episode

Reminds me of the end credits of the Wonder Woman movie. Which, of course, came years later.
Listening to this right now on my terrace in Provence looking at the gathering storm. Outstanding!
Isn't this the theme to a movie or TV series?. I couldn't find any info on that in comments.

The cover art work is very Les Claypool like.....
