Ormion Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 We always talk about top albums, but rarely about top compilations. Which one is THE best compilation ever released? My vote goes to Distance To Goa 4 I don't think something else can top this tracklist. Everything is in there. For post 2000 comps then I vote for Midnight Storm Quote
Rotwang Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Vibraspirit 23 is probably my favourite comp, or perhaps Karmageddon which is what turned me onto darkpsy in a big way. Quote
mars Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 It wouldn't be convenient from me to mention Opus Iridium. Actually I'm storngly hesitating between AirBorn and First Flight, both from Flying Rhino. ..launching a coin... Ok "Air Born" is my fav. Quote
Insejn Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I agree with Ormion on Midnight Storm. That is a sick compilation (Shift - The Face!). I think Broken and The Mystery of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls are worth a place in the top also. Quote
psytones Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Not sure, could be so many since there are a lot of comilations out there that reflects. Various - Not My Cup Of Tea is for sure on my top list of VA's, maybe one of those Destination Goa CD's. Maybe a Flying Rhino comp.. humm, or what about the IsrAliens VA, or hm, the UFS - Unidentified Forms Of Sound series or maybe something as simple but reflecting of where I started my jounrey, like Various - Retro - 10 Years Of Israeli Trance? I got to say though, I do love my Various - Örebro Freakfactory 1 Cd a lot. Quote
Sawfly Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Various - Not My Cup Of Tea Now that is a great one But.... I think Boldly Audio, Midnight Storm and The Mystery of the Thirteen Crystal Skulls will have to share :drama: No Tone Unstirred deserves a mention too Quote
Trance2MoveU Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Macao? Ministry of Chaos? Future Cuts? Pick any of the "A Taste of Dragonfly" comps. Mdk Quote
DaZeD Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Soul Vibration, I mentioned this one a lot, but I just like it a lot! Apsara is also brilliant in every way. Quote
Oopie Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Heh, my fav'es were mentioned... va / airborn (pre-2000) va / no tone unstirred (post-2000) Quote

psytones Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Otherwise it-is-the-best. It's defiently up there among the stars, for sure Can we post imaginary ones? No! Stay on topic and go make your own god damn tophat topic you star stepper!! Quote
Malevol3nt Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 No! Stay on topic and go make your own god damn tophat topic you star stepper!!FINE. Then I'll just have to MAKE the darn ultimate compilation myself. Quote
sektor101 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 The Colours Of Shiva - The Psychedelic T.I.P. Trip - Part 1 (Tua Records, Nova Tekk) - 1997 The Colours Of Shiva - The Psychedelic T.I.P. Trip - Part 2 (Tua Records, Nova Tekk) - 1997 Basically 4 TIP compilations (Yellow, Orange, Blue and Phosphorescent) re-released on 2 2xCD compilations. Best purchase ever. Quote
frozen dream Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 maybe pulse 1 for oldies and opus iridium for newbies or maybe tantrance 3 chillout: left coast liquid 1 Quote

Various - Not My Cup Of Tea is for sure on my top list of VA's This is more like a best-of-the-best compilation so I didn't count it. Otherwise it-is-the-best. Looks like I will have to go dig that one out then, and check what the fuss is all about. I know I have it, but don't recall being so immensely impressed. Thanks for reminding me though. Anyways, my all time favorite psy trance orientatd compilation is V/A The Truth Of Communication [ http://www.discogs.com/Various-The-Truth-O.../release/141217 ], released in 1996 on Matsuri Productions.

Goa-Head Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Being an old fart, my favourite remains Goa-Head 4. Distance to Goa 4 has an incredible artist line up. And Flying Rhino First Flight. Quote
rino Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Holy crap, I forgot about V/A Schlabbaduerst 7, which smacks your dry jaws with hot piss loaded plastic bags! My solid #2 pick... That one is just so larger than life & death, over the top, two tongues in four cheeks, ridiculously hard and absolutely detached from any concern which implies you, and whether do you like what you hear! Quote

I know what it stands for and what it madness contains. So one day in the future, I will have pleasure of experiencing the beautity of this rough psychedelic mosakk!! Btw. You quoted me and Orm, you know (i think) Ormions reply was about the Israli 10 years of VA and not the Cup of tea one? Quote
psydmt Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Domino-Equinox recs (1998) hard to get but worth tracking down. Still has unreleased tracks on it http://www.discogs.com/Domino-Domino/release/374184 this one!! Quote
Guest D N H Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Many, among others Burning Man mixed by Goa Gil and Goa Vibes I. But i have a sentimental attachment to Trancentral 4 mixed by Tsuyoshi. New ones? Maybe People Walk Funny. Quote
Otto Matta Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Vibraspirit 23Yes! My sentimental favorite is Goa-Head 7. Also Tales from the Dark Forest. Quote
technosomy Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 Domino-Equinox recs (1998) hard to get but worth tracking down. Still has unreleased tracks on it http://www.discogs.com/Domino-Domino/release/374184 this one!! not that hard i sold it last week for 10 euro Quote
technosomy Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 first flight airborne retrodellica party is for life not just for xmas balagan sorry just can't decide Quote
DaZeD Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 I forgot this one, for me personal Module 01 is the perfect compilation, all tracks are amazing, and the whole disc is a journey from the beginning to the end, pure bliss all the way, this is one that I keep enjoying every time I put it on, no matter how many time's I heard it before, I keep loving it!
