Twisted Newletter says Spike’ll be out Oct 18th!!! with a pre-order soon.
Altho this side note caught my attention:
” ****Keep an ear open for the new Shpongle feat. Benji track called “The God Particle”, coming soon on Twisted!**** “
exciting!

i didnt get the newsletter :(
hope the preorder link will be public. any news on that?

Just ordered it, can’t wait!

I hope this comes out on twisted downloads soon. I can’t wait for CD!

whooop! it just appeared in the twisted shop! ships on the 13th. though it doesnt seem to be at twisted downloads. well i’m gonna order me a hard copy (:

Will Spike be available for download at TwistedDownload?

They said it will. I guess it’s there in two days.

no discussion on this album? i think it’s really damn good. been listening to it a lot. love the deep house elements that are going on. might be your best album, benji.

i need to know this by the way - did you sample skype microphpone feedback sounds in Triplets? please tell me you did

It’s a brilliant album and shows Benji’s skills and maturity and making quality music…not sure if that’s the right word there.

I think all the tracks are very strong but the ones that stand out for me are Fast Train, 2010, Rhythm Circut, Colt and the last track Datcha is stunning.

In fact I’d love to hear Benji do a full ablum in that style…

there was loads of dicsussion about SPIKE but half the thread vanished - something to do with the site update being done

Was about to say…
I wrote a nice little paragraph about how awesome the new album is.
Thought I was losing my mind when the comments dissapeared…(which would be okay too I guess)

Can’t stop playing Fast Train!!! 

Also had a VERY special and intimate experience with Datcha and 3 grams of “inspiration” last week.
Shortly follow by The God Particle…
Absolutely magical.

Benj! Just wanted to say that a) the samples really didn’t do ur album justice and b) u’ve stepped up ur game, definitely. 2 things about the album: the “middle” tracks, where u experiment more, r the lesser ones as it sounds like u’r too busy trying stuff out and forgetting about the kick or punch to the melody like in the first 2 (which, i bet, r chronologically the latest?).
Now, the real deal of the album (as awesome as triplets is) is Datcha. I think this track reveals a well of emotion u haven’t tapped into b4 (mmmaybe a lil bit with process & yeti). There is so much is those 2 minutes ur last 3 albums don’t have, maybe anything I’ve ever heard from u.
Yes, Benji, this is ur next album! Dig into that stuff.

Yes Yes YES!
for the love of all that is good in this universe…

Datcha, Datcha, Datcha!! 

I was sitting eating my dinner last Sat night and when that came on I just sat and looked at the speakers and said to myself…no way.

So do we have agreement regarding the lyrics to ‘Rush’ :
“Come out to show them”
or something else?
