My top 5 here:

 

1/ VA/Pyramidal Trancendence: yes, I know, it's very selfish and this VA/ is released for free and not on "real" labels. But I don't care, I love the amazing job made by my crew, and all our initiative behind it. ;)

 

2/VA/Purple Energy 2: only the 4 tracks of Goasia got all my attention, awesome work of Balint and Kanc! Big respect to you and hope to hear soon a goasia "solo" album this time. :)

 

3/Alpha Circuit - Module Z: the big surprise of 2006 of a former etnica member that makes me forget the pleiadians disillusion... Sounds a bit ironic, don't u? ... :rolleyes::P

 

4/VA/Peace Therapy 2: no comment, the number 1 ambient trance release of the year, for me at least! :)

 

5/Space Vibes System - Lifeform (unreleased) : great surprise from Russia, all the tracks are good. And this artist got a good idea: he gives his album for free with a low audio quality as a foretaste; so if you enjoy it, you can buy it in good quality for a cheap price.

 

>> 6/Radical Distortion - Regenesis: I like in fact only the first 4 tracks (yes, it sounds weird, but, with unicorn music, it is always 50/50) but they are pretty good. I'm surprised to see that not many people mentionned it except me. :unsure:

 

And I'm glad that this thread doesn't ask for a top 10, because I'm unable to find other good releases for 2006 (for my taste). :(

I'll probably regret not giving OOOD points, but I just haven't heard his album enough to say it deserves to be in the top 5.

 

I'll definitely check the Tegma, Carbon Based Lifeforms and Principles of Flight albums, though! Too bad I haven't heard them during the year, might be they'd be getting points here :)

Choosing 5 of the best releases is an interesting exercise. I personally find it pointless then to rank them 1 to 5. Perhaps because that is not how my thought process tends to work - of course I like my CDs in varying levels, but to do a 1 to 5 or a 1 to 10 ranking seems a bit artificial to me.

 

It would be better, in my view, to just collect the top five CDs from everybody, assign equal points and then do the ranking.

 

At any rate, here are five of my favourite CDs from this year. I have ordered them alphabetically - you may assign 1 to 5 points or you may give each of them 3 points (my preferred choice).

 

 

Downbeat Liquid vol. 1

Igneous - Skip Insect

Perfect Stranger - Learning = Change

Tegma - Around the World

Various - Gear

 

I also do not know why some of you add non-Psy releases to your lists.

 

Here are some of my favourite non-psy stuff from this year (in no particular order). This is what this old man has been grooving to this year.

 

Donnacha Costello - 6*6=36

Various - min2max (Minus)

Kode 9 + Spaceape - Memories of the Future

MadLib - The Beat Konducta vol. 1 & 2

The Nova Dream Sequence - <interpretations>

Bodycode - Conservation of electric charge

Various - Offbeats 3.0 (Subversiv)

Various - Elektronishe Musik Interkontinental 5

Post Industrial Boys - Trauma

4.Goasia vs Omegahertz - Purple energy 2 Unicorn September

5. Alpha circuit - Module Z Alphaproduction November

 

* No one deserves 1st and 2nd place for me this year. 2006 was the worse year IMO at least for the last 4 years in psy-trance scene <_<

1. NO Artist or Group or Project Name - NO Album - NO Label - 2006

5 VA - Pyramidal trancendance

 

I can´t talk of the best because if i compare this newschool stuff which is pretty good to the old stuff i see that it aktually isn´t the best, so i agree with Resvalker

Haven't heard much new psy but from what I've heard I chose these as my top 5:

 

1. Filteria - Heliopolis

2. VA - Pyramidal Trancendence

3. Sensient - Antifluoro

4. Jikkenteki - The Long Walk Home

5. OOOD - Free Range

 

So now I've decided.. It was actually quite hard with 3,4 and 5. I would have wanted to inculed Human Blue - misStArRyAs Xperience and Electrypnose - Le Tireur De Ficelles.

 

Edit 3: I just realized how good Sensient - Antifluoro is, had to add it to the third place. Therefore Principles Of Flight was dropped from the list. Also Pleiadians - Seven Sisters and Koxbox - U-Turn were close to the list... Damn this is hard...

Hey guys If you leave postion 1 & 2 (&3) blank then have your top artist at number 3 or 4, do you know what that means? Do you?

That's right it means that the highest position on your list is actually number one & should recieve all the priveledges that a number 1 should recieve (ie 5 points) If it's the best album for the year for you then why the fuck would you want to see it get less points in the overal pole?

I can only assume that you are .....

For now I can suppose that they are still reviewing/listening CDs, until 1st of February.

Yea, it's just too bad 2006 isn't nearly as epic and interesting as 2005. The selection of quality releases in 2005 have been few and far between, with nothing really (as a whole) superb, amazing, or groundbreaking by a new (or old) main artist. This is my opinion.

 

I expect 2007 to be better, much better. We're off to a pretty good start so far with

 

- Prometheus 2nd album

 

- TRANSWAVE (OLD-SKOOL)

 

- V/A - TWIST DREAMS COMP

 

- NEW TRANSWAVE

 

- TALPA ... (hopefully releasing this year)

 

- FILTERIA and KOB

 

- YOUNGER BROTHER (??!!!)

 

- and lots more! :)

no shame here. my top 5 fav. bought SOO many cds this year. not many from '06 but more than i remember ;p

 

1. Slug - Elemental

2. Space Tribe & Electric Universe - ESP (takes 2nd cuz track 5 has horrible samples)

4. Twisted System - Core (thought this released in 05 ;p)

5. Ka-Sol - Fairytale

 

other mentionables

2006 was a good year for the South African crew. At least everyone had an artist album of some sort. in Shifts case, 3! Phyx and Slug 2.

well those albums mentioned are the only 06 ones I remember. might have 1 or 2 more.

The last 3 really pained me to choose, but after some blood, sweat & tears... that's my top 5!

 

The contenders were/are still:

 

Sensient - Antiflouro
