Basilisk Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I'm looking for some input on a sort of trance Hall of Fame I'm compiling... I'm working on the definitive list, but I'm only one man... some input and feedback would really help. Think about it tho... the HoF isn't purely about individual choices. I'd say Atmos - Headcleaner would deserve a spot despite not really liking the album... it was BIG. It changed everything. Afterwards, one would refer to another artist as having an "Atmos sound" (think of Cosma's Simplicity for example). Here's a short list I've made, by year. Feel free to disagree but tell me why. Feel free to add some as well, or make your own list! What timeless classics can you unearth? 1995 Yellow [T.I.P.] Koxbox - Forever After [Harthouse] Hallucinogen - Twisted [Dragonfly] Total Eclipse - Delta Aquarids [blue Room] Etnica - Alien Protein [blue Room] 1996 Man With No Name - Moment Of Truth [Concept in Dance] Phosphorescent [T.I.P.] Transwave - Phototropic [Distance] 1997 3D [T.I.P.] Astral Projection - Dancing Galaxy [Phonokol/Transient] Green Nuns of the Revolution - Rock Bitch Mafia [Flying Rhino] Hallucinogen - The Lone Deranger [Twisted] Juno Reactor - Bible of Dreams [blue Room] MFG - New Kind of World [Phonokol] Pleiadians - I.F.O. [Dragonfly] 1998 Beyond Colour [T.I.P.] Cosmosis - Synergy [Transient] GMS - The Growly Family [T.I.P.] Jaïa - Blue Energy [Cross] Shpongle - Are You Shpongled? [Twisted] X-Dream - Radio [blue Room] 1999 Blue Planet Corporation - Blue Planet [Flying Rhino] Hux Flux - Cryptic Crunch [Koyote] Infected Mushroom - The Gathering [bNE] Koxbox - The Great Unknown [Liquid Audio Soundz] The Delta - Scizoeffective [d.Drum] 2000 Atmos - Headcleaner [spiral Trax] Double Dragon - Continuum [Phantasm] Infected Mushroom - Classical Mushroom [bNE] 2001 Eat Static - In the Nude! [Mesmobeat] 2002 Saiko-Pod - Phutures & Options [spiral Trax] 2003 Cosma - Non-Stop [Hom-Mega] Spirallianz - Stereopark [spirit Zone] Vibrasphere - Lime Structure [Digital Structures] 2004 12 Moons - Solid State [Candyflip] Juno Reactor - Labyrinth [Metropolis] Prometheus - Robot-o-Chan [Twisted] 2005 Jaïa - Fiction [Digital Structures] Ticon - Zero Six After [Digital Structures] Quote
Insejn Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Hmm..It's hard but perhaps X-Dream - Irritant 2002? Quote
Jon Cocco Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Nice Hall of Fame thread and list. I'm glad to see we agree with almost all of them. I'd personally add the following albums below (at least many of them) to improve the list. 2004 Talpa - The Art of Non ............... 05 and 04 are too soon to be classic. Since you have 04-05 albums up, I'd add these. Filteria - Sky Imput ................... too soon as well. 2005 Khetzal - Corolle ............................. too soon to be a classic, but this sounds probable to being one. Antix - Twin Coast Discovery ............. too early to call it classic. but I see the potential. ....... Definite Classic's and Cult classics from earlier days: Total Eclipse - Violent Relaxation Miranda - Phenomena Cosmosis - Cosmology Shpongle - Tales from... RA - To Series Dimension 5 - Second Phaz CHI-A.D. - Anno Domini / Earth Crossing Doof - Lets Turn On Sandmsn - Witchcraft Battle of Future Buddhas - Twin Sharkfins Muses Rapt - Spiritual Healing MFG - Project Genesis Mystery of the Yeti and some others I can't think of right now.

Maxx Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 i would also add: xenomorph/cassandras nightmare miranda/phenomena prana/cyclon transwave/helium shakta/silicon trip edit:and technossomy-syntethic flesh Quote
Guest Elysium Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 more who's the best threads? how many did we have the last few days? taste is personal. Quote
dmtree Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 don't forget GMS - Chaos Laboratory (1998?) Penta - Pentafiles (2003) v/a Voices of Madness (2003) Juno Reactor - Transmissions (1993) and so on.. good luck. Quote
delars Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 i'll be back on this because there's lot's that's missing (prolly because of personal taste, this is YOUR hall of fame) but you shoul surely add this one: http://www.discogs.com/release/330381 its the compilation where all these now so big SA artists had their first track on, and the cd kixx asss first shift cd should also be there, first artifakt cd too...

McKoy Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 more who's the best threads? how many did we have the last few days? 409202[/snapback] What would psynews be without its daily "who is the best" topic ? Quote
Basilisk Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 I'm aiming for something slightly different than another best of thread... this is more about legendary releases. Like I said, for people that mention taste, I threw some albums I'm not too keen on into my original list simply because I figure they're important to the history of trance. That's what I'm asking. If you don't like it, it's easy enough to ignore... Quote
Guest Elysium Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 If you don't like it, it's easy enough to ignore... nope we wont ignore it at all ....we like to bitch Quote
FrozenRealm Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I already miss Eat Static - Abduction in the list! Quote
Basilisk Posted January 5, 2006 Author Posted January 5, 2006 nope we wont ignore it at all ....we like to bitch 409261[/snapback] The story might be different if there were some Elysium albums on the list, wouldn't it now? No, I guess not... Eat Static raises a good question though... what is the real stand-out album from the group? Quote
ProSect Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Eat Static raises a good question though... what is the real stand-out album from the group? 409269[/snapback] Science Of The Gods Quote
Guest Elysium Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 The story might be different if there were some Elysium albums on the list, wouldn't it now? No, I guess not... 409269[/snapback] Actually I could not give a flying rats ass if they were or not... so no you are not right mate And boy if only you once got the joke the world would lighten up Quote

McKoy Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 If you don't like it, it's easy enough to ignore... 409255[/snapback] If you don't like my humour, you can also ignore it But about your first post, we obviously don't share the same definiton of the word legendary. Are Double Dragon - Continuum or 12 Moons - Solid State really legendary? For exemple, I'd say "Trip to Transylvania" by X-dream and "Transmissions" by Juno Reactor are legendary, not because they are good but because they were released in 1993. Quote
zaib Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 i'll be back on this because there's lot's that's missing (prolly because of personal taste, this is YOUR hall of fame) but you shoul surely add this one: http://www.discogs.com/release/330381 its the compilation where all these now so big SA artists had their first track on, and the cd kixx asss first shift cd should also be there, first artifakt cd too... 409231[/snapback] hehe, it's funny how artists their style can evolve, i don't think too many people think of SA as dark minimal anymore and i think twisted system - the dealers was more important than shift's or artifakt's album (but maybe only because i like that one ) Quote

I'll admit the 12 Moons is a personal crusade but I stand by Continuum. Quote
furthur Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 And boy if only you once got the joke the world would lighten up 409274[/snapback] that goes both ways i do not know if basilisk was joking there, but i sure took his elysium comment to be a joke Quote
Basilisk Posted January 6, 2006 Author Posted January 6, 2006 Yeah, uh, I just skipped that cuz it gets pretty tiring to point out I'm never very serious with Uncle Elysium. I mean, I wrote "No, I guess not... " right below, how much more obvious can I get? Really! Time for the dreaded rolleyes armada. Quote
Jikkenteki Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 I'd throw my vote in for Eat Static - Science Of The Gods as well. Quote
Maden Posted January 6, 2006 Posted January 6, 2006 2001 : Ra - To Sirius 2002 : Chi AD - Earthcrossing Electric Universe - Unify 2004 : Filteria - Sky Input Blue Vortex - Mirage 2005 : Ketzal - Corolle Quote
