Are You Shpongled?

I've realized that not many people listen to Shpongle, or if they do, they do it at home with the lights off and don't tell their friends or family. Which is probably okay, because that really is how you should do it. Shpongle blossomed out of a solar eclipse in India that Simon Posford (aka Hallucinogen) and Raja Ram witnessed together. Upon their return to the U.K, the duo entered the studio with the hopes of recreating their experience in musical form. Naturally. According to Wiki, 'shpongle' is not a recognized word in any language, and is simply a term used to describe euphoria by one Raja Ram. They're live shows are like nothing I've ever seen, and I won't even attempt to describe the things I saw or did there, but I do highly recommend you make the journey at somepoint. Here's an introduction to the insanity, enter "Outer Shpongolia".

If that did the trick, then here's a personal favorite from the stash. Mystery of The Yeti is another one of Raja/Simon's numerous side projects. Best listened to at max volume, surround sound.
