You're going to Shpongle and you've never been Shpongled?! Wow!
They're psychedelic journeys so they are meant to be listened to in full:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2cSmdjimA8 - Are You Shpongled? - Its a bit of a darker album but its stellar
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBQRkl7_K4M - Tales of the Inexpressible - Absolutely blissful psybient masterpiece
I don't like the newer albums as much as those two but maybe its because I haven't tripped to the new ones lol.
There is a lot of psychedelic drug influence in Shpongle and it readily makes itself apparent. There is a track on Are You Shpongled? that is worth listening to by itself in a dark room for a wild sober experience even, Divine Moments of Truth. A lot of Shpongle is DMT influenced but this song is one of the best examples of it:

Another one is My Head Feels Like a Frisbee -

Its so mindblowingly amazing that every time I hear that track, I start tripping. I'm listening to it right now and the text on the screen is getting hard to read lol.
Shpongle is like an orgasm for your ear drums and your soul.
By the way, Shpongle refers to two people - Simon Posford and Raja Ram. Shpongle is one of their projects. They both worked on The Mystery of the Yeti as well. Simon Posford is also known as Hallucinogen and the other project he is in is Younger Brother.
I'm a huge fan of all of the above but Shpongle and Hallucinogen would be my favorites.
Here's actually a live concert they did in 2008:

EDIT: How could I forgot about The Infinity Project? Another fantastic project they were a part of. Celtic Cross was a one off that was like psychedelic meets ambient meets rock which was nice. Simon also worked with Ott quite a bit. If you haven't heard Ott, pick up Blumenkraft. It doesn't disappoint!
You've now got me back on a psy/goa kick. Thanks!
