Top 10 albums of the 00's

Recommended Posts

At this point it probably won't affect you as much as it would have in the past. In my opinion it was a revolution, and introduced the Glitch style to The People. The Glitch aesthetic has since become commonplace, cross-genre, but it wasn't at the time. It was certainly a revolution in my life - my biggest revolution of the '00s - which is why it's #1 on my list.

 

My personal favorites are towards the end of the album: Calty (below) and Spiff.

The opener, Frame, is also really nice, and came with a video:

Top 10 ambient, chill and stuff.

I tried to look at albums as a whole to prevent myself from choosing an album just because I like one or two tracks very much.

 

1. Steve Roach - Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces

2. Steve Roach & Vir Unis - Blood Machine

3. Pete Namlook & Klaus Schulze - Dark Side of the Moog IX

4. Steve Roach - Fever Dreams 2

5. Paul Ellis - The Sacred Ordinary

6. Ulrich Schnauss - A Strangely Isolated Place

7. Symphonic Chronicles - Unreleased .. ? :)

8. Raison D'etre - The Stains of the Embodied Sacrifice

9. Vir Unis - Pulse N Atmo

10. Redshift - Faultline (live)

 

I'll have to think about a top 10 for heavier electronic with beats and stuff.

Oh sorry, discogs has it as a 1999 release.

 

Not a problem. I saw that too. It's listed as 1999 in other places as well, especially all the torrent sites (probably because of Discogs) and our old friend fUSION Anomaly. So I feel I'm allowed to choose between the two dates. The album was HUGE for me in the '00s.

 

Murpthecat - Definitely. And the synthesists.

Ok I'll play too.

 

My choices aren't necessarily my top 10 favourite of this actual moment, but are the ten albums I think I've played the most over the last 10 years. And if you want to play it, something has to be right.

 

No particular order:

 

Filteria - daze of our lives

Filteria - heliopolis

Ra - 9th

Psydrop - Fantasy Seeds

Lucy In Space With Diamonds (L.S.D) - Emerald City

Astral Projection - Amen

Goasia - From Other Spaces

Tikal - Ritual Cycle

Guinea Pigs - Not Tested On Animals

Tamlin - Spectogram

 

 

A fine collection...

Ouch, this will be hard. I haven't listened to 00's music as much as 90's music... The order matches more or less my order of preference

 

Goa/Psy

 

Khetzal - Corolle

Infected Mushroom - Classical Mushroom

Jikkenteki - The Beginning Is At The End

V/A - The Mystery Of The Thirteen Crystal Skulls

Jaïa - Fiction

Prometheus - Robot-O-Chan

Nuclear Ramjet - Mission To Sedna

Torakka - Far Out Express (would be so much better if it was in better sound quality)

 

Downtempo (not really a fan, so...)

Galaxy - Science Of Ecstasy

Jikkenteki - The Long Walk Home - Revelations And Moments Of Clarity

Electrypnose - Subliminal Melancholies

V/A - Twelve

Asura - Code Eternity

Starcade - Les Introvertis Chroniques EP (still unreleased :angry:)

V/A - Opus Iridium -CD2

 

 

 

Though I have voted for Re-releases like Backfire and Transdimensional etc. for "Best of year X", I am not doing it here.

List subject to changes in the future also :)

Holy crap. I just realized that Toï Doï - Technological came out in 2000!! Just go back over the "review thread years" people. See my post above for updates.

 

Btw is Toi Doi - Technologic (2000) releases considered post 2000 stuff?? I always considered "Technologic" old skool.

I discovered Psy/Goa in the late 90s. Despite occasional forays over the years I never delved deeply into it until about a year ago when everything clicked and I fell truly and hopelessly in love with this music. It has been quite a year of exploration and discovery. I'm not sure I have the collection or knowledge to offer a Top 10 list by genre but the following, in no particular order, are the 10 albums of the 00's that I've listened to the most:

 

Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden

Derango - Tumult

Distant System - Spiral Empire

Haltya - Forest Flavour

Ott - Blumenkraft

Shaolin Wooden Men - Supermindway

Gi'iwa Productions - VA - Schizm

Atmos - Headcleaner

Spirallianz - Blast Food

Furious - Uncanny Beats
