2nd:
Drap Drop - Dropdead Gorgeous
Excerpt from my review:
The sheer level of style variation on this album is unsurpassed! In only 9 tracks (by the same artist, mind you!) we’re exposed to pretty much every single subgenre within psytrance. From druggy psytrance (#1) to pure morning trance (#2). From oddball Finnish-style experimental trance (#3) to playful electro-crash (#4). From cheesy club trance (#5) to old-school hard trance (#6). From melodic neo full-on (#7) over nocturnal darkpsy (#8) and back to tribal night trance (#9)! Holy frekkin’ wasabi overload! How cool is that!? I’ll tell you how cool - - VERY cool!
This must be the most diverse artist album – ever! Sure, I have a hard time with some of the more commercial tracks, but that’s easily outweighed by the unique genre-bending concept of this album! The cover art + album concept correlates nicely and all in all this is indeed one-of-a-kind. Well done Drap Drop + ELF Music – I’m genuinely impressed! Recommended to pretty much any fan of psytrance in its many forms. Tune in, turn on and trip out! Enjoy
