Kind of a random post I know, I just felt that this type of music illustrated perfectly how I like most art forms to feel; full of drastic, just about compatible variety.

Shpongletastic
Here's some footage from a Shpongle gig. These guys make a hybrid sort of music that most people can only really describe as "psychedelic". What really attracts me the most to this is the manner in which in manages to incorporate such a wide variety of sounds into something that is actually pleasing. We have everything from cellos to synths to evan a bit of mongolian throat singing! This all encompassing "multi coloured" approach to music making is in a broad sense how I plan on creating my own moving image sequences; through the use of a wide variety of images coming together to end up being rather bizarrely yet none the less beautifully juxtaposed.

Shpongle are a class act. Check out One Giant Leap. They made tracks for their album by say going to Africa and getting tribesman to lay down a drum beat, then India for some sitar then to America for some rap over the top of it for example. Resulted in a brilliant multicultural album. Maxi Jazz and Robbie Williams appear on it too.
