I don't use spotify but I wondered how a length limit would work for some esoteric bands. Shpongle is another one with extremely long songs that wouldn't work if they were chopped up.

Shpongle albums are split up into normal-sized tracks. Most CD players, media players, and streaming services support gapless playback of albums, at least for subscribers. When a Shpongle album is played with gapless playback enabled, it sounds like one long song.

I don't have a Spotify link handy, but here's a YouTube Music example:

I never thought I'd read about Shpongle in HN.

Hallucinogenics brought me to my current career. Synthesizing DMT got me my first full-time grant writing gig. I believe more hackers experiment with drugs than the nerd stereotype would lead you to believe.

Also, the music they make is amazing. So it's always relevant to most music conversations.

(Albinoblacksheep flashback is still my go to when I'm feeling nostalgic)

that's really cool! I was really addicted to Shpongle and 1200 Mics in the 2000s. btw, Shpongle's song that makes me trip while sober is "DMT" (Divine moments of truth), its fucking amazing (I don't do drugs, I'm really afraid of what can come up).

I don't think I've heard them for at least 10 years, I'll put it on for listening!

Edit: OMG I just remembered the existence of this masterpiece: Shpongle - Star Shpongled Banner !!!

We are here :)
