Both? There are three bands referenced there, and the best of the three is the one that I'd wager you didn't recognize...

Beautiful! Never heard this band before; can't wait to explore more of their music. Perfect Sunday morning sound.

Repeat your living room scenario to the power of five, globally.

Hey, in my village you're lucky to find an intellectual, let alone get a discourse happening

I really like this song, and so far, this band. A moody, swirly, ethereal piece, perfect for a partly-cloudy day with hot temperatures and cottonwood wafting through the air lazily... {#Bounce}
 

Miss you so much, Cynaera...

love this song...

I agree! I think it's time to try out some mellower Shpongle on RP to see what people think! The ratings for Younger Brother tracks are impressive.
 
I second that !  
Their concert 'Live at the Roundhouse'  2008 is great - the level of musicianship is exceptional.
Pete Callard is the low profile guitarist with masses of talent. I can't remember the drummer's name but he's brilliant too.

Simon Posford is a musical genius. He is also behind Celtic Cross, Hallucinogen and Shpongle. <3

OK I give up. Everything from this I've liked. Guess I'll be buying MP3s though:

4 new from $127.98 3 used from $349.36

I have the newest one, Vaccine, hoping more are coming.

I wish my co-worker wasn't arguing with her ex over the phone so loudly that it interrupts this, even over my noise-canceling earphones.

Sigh. Take it outside, people.

Indeed. Borrowing/stealing, etc., are honored traditions, but Led Zeppelin was guilty of something that comes a bit closer to the vernacular definition than most.

Fun stuff!

I don't see the validity of calling a song a rip off just because of a similar effects pedal.

All phase shifter, distortion, and chorus pedal users beware!!!!

Whammy bars we are coming for you next!!!

Maybe if you don't understand the sound effect side of modern music you should sit this one out.
 
Good point, Deadwing.  It's like how every guitar player who uses deep reverb and fuzz is ripping off Dick Dale, according to some music detectives here.

I really like 'em.   Even this album cover looks very Floydian, doesn't it?

 
You're right about the cover art, it was designed by Storm Thorgerson who was a designer with Hipgnosis. They were responsible for the inventive album art of the early Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and other bands in the 70's.

Sort of reminds me of a slower Disco Biscuits, which is interesting, because my younger brother turned me onto the Disco Biscuits.
