abasio Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Here are my top 10 albums of Psy-trance, Prog, Ambient, Downbeat and IDM. For me it has been a good decade but I think the chill side of it has been better than the trance side. I was really struggling to fill some of the trance spots (and IDM but that is because I don't know enough & I had too much downbeat ) but the chill side filled up by itself no problem & I had to ruthlessly cut albums I love form the lists.

mars Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 We definitely have to organize a best-of session for both 2009 and the decade ! As promised I programmed something...It's coming up soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmiwinks Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 ha great idea! BUT I wonder if it's not more apropriate to make a "best tracks" section since I realize that most artists that have released some of the best tracks EVER usually have a hard time making a whole good album, or the tracks where just released on EPs or comps. This also allows to have a certain control on the actual year the track was released since sometimes an artist will release a track that is a few years old on an album (like for example you'd think that Ra - ROM was released in 2000 cause its featured on To Sirius album but in fact it was already released as an EP in 1997...) So anyway, here's my best of the best tracks of the 2000s (in no particular order): Morning Goatrance: 1. Yahel - Last Man In The Universe 2. Luminus - Total Consiousness 3. Doof - The Second Revelation 4. Astral Projection - Nexus 5. Space Tribe and Electric Universe - Alkaloid Experiment 6. Miranda - Hypnotic Trance 7. MWNN - Axis Flip 8. Ka-Sol - Scraqp 9. Ra - Predator 10. Merr0w - Born Underwater Morning psytrance: 1. 1200 Mics - Hashish 2. Melicia - Running Out Of Time 3. Talamasca - Come On 4. Vibrasphere - Ensueno (Morning Mix) 5. Talamasca - Drops of Madness (Rmx) 6. Etnica - Photonic 7. Chi AD - Cause And Effect 8. ESXS - Bloody Sword 9. Braincell - Anti Gravity 10. Wizzy Noise - Unfulfilled Desires Night: 1. Neuromotor - Fuck The DAT Mafia Trance 2. The Delta - Def By Delta 3. Scatterbrain - Infernal Angels 4. Parasense - Speech Work 5. Menog - Acid Trip 6. Droidlock - My Life Is A Trip 7. Para Halu - Let The Peace Control Your Body 8. Psyfactor - Fear Square 9. Para Halu - Cacao (Rmx) 10.Battle Of The Future Buddhas - Demonizer PS The first person who will mention Skazi in this thread will get his face slapped with a rotten fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW this is excellent too, just heard it: Eraser vs. Yöjalka - Round 1 Every year has its gems. But I strongly believe that 2001-2003 was the weakest period of psytrance. Many reasons to write thme down now. And yes Round 1 is a masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those albums represent the most played album of the decade and obviously the most appreciated in their repective years..Kettel is my favorite artist of the decade: with 25 amazing remix and 12 albums, Kettel from his first productions (Dreim (2001( piece of art) until newest production (15 remixes in 5 years and 5 album), for my ears, were phenomenal. Pretty much every album is incredible in the originality and each album are always differebt from one another.

Otto Matta Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Got this myself also. Can't see why it's so highly rated thou, perhaps should give a few more listens. 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. http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wtyu86B7ZYQ The opener, Frame, is also really nice, and came with a video: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgwJRx7I1Sg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
