Nothing Lasts... But Nothing is Lost is a 2005 album by Shpongle. It is the band's third studio album. Like the previous two albums, it features many live musicians and vocalists in combination with computer-generated sounds and spoken-word samples. Stylistically the album can be described as a fusion of world music, "intelligent dance music", and psychedelic trance. It is dedicated to the memory of author and psychedelic researcher Terrence McKenna, whose voice and ideas are used throughout the album.
