Lots of names that I can't add in. Some spots likely to change as I re-listen to 2019.
Uptempo
1. Dreamchild - Akashic Dreaming (Unreleased Goa Records): Beautiful and exciting style, has taken number 1 spot for longevity and sustained excitement. 2. Median Project - Constellation (Suntrip Records): Now Number 2 for most listens and taking this style of Goa to another level. 3. Va - Goa Gilde (Kali Earth Records): Still fresh in but listened enough to know this will stay in the list 4. Merr0w - Odysseus (Global Sect): After more listens this has moved up the list, another stellar advancement of skill. 5. Sykespico - Perspective (Suntrip Records): Could easily have been number 1 as well. Thick melodies abound. 6. Elysium - Live ...And Beyond (Digital Reprints): Filled with seriously groovy and fantastic trance music. 7. Psylent Buddhi - Secrets of the Atom (Suntrip Records): Everything that is good about Goa can be found in this album. 8. Pete & Pan - Return of the Goddess (Goa Madness Records): For originality and straight up enjoyment 9. Jaraluca - The Prologue (Mamomam Records): Craaaazy Trance music and a big progression in Jaraluca's skill and style. 10. Jagoa - The First Steps (Self-Release): Thoroughly worthy of a spot on the list, emotional, trance dancey & exciting.
