mars Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Artifact 303 - Back to Space Nerso - Explorarions of Infinity E-Mantra - Pathfinder Antares - Exodus Logic Bomb - The Grid Aes Dana - Perimeters VA - Mind Rewind Solar Fields: Until we meet the sky To me the big surprise this year was Nerso. A killer album, a must-have, a complete achievement. And lightyears ahead of the previous Flagma/Nerso release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kriestof Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 i think 2011 was a bad year for pystrance in general no new sounds, no really instant classic releases and not really one album that set me on fire the best various cd was an album with old music.. i think the best produced album was the new Ott album, but besides that... even suntrip and ultimae didnt live up to their reputation i hope the new various on suntrip, a lot of new electrypnose songs and the long awaited album from crossing mind makes 2012 a better psy year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolmot Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Alright, the traditional yearmix is up. I've usually tried to upload it by new year, but this December I was neck deep in work (of the pays-the-bills kind) so there was a bit of delay. Anyway...102 minutes of assorted highlights or otherwise interesting tracks from 2011. 01. (00:00) Frost-RAVEN - Solar Wind ["Deep in Blue", Elephant Head 2011] 02. (03:00) Psypheric - No Return ["Life on Earth", Pureuphoria 2011] 03. (05:30) Radical Distortion - Evil Machine ["Art from the Heart Chapter II", Old Is Gold 2011] 04. (12:30) Daimon - Edge of Darkness ["Dimensional Gateway 2", Neogoa 2011] 05. (20:15) Zelur Project - The New Creature ["Dancing Mavka", Lookinglook 2011] 06. (25:30) Artifact303 - Beyond Lightspeed ["Back to Space", Suntrip 2011] 07. (30:30) Etnichaos - The Other Side of Reality ["Mind Rewind", DAT Mafia 2011] 08. (37:30) PortaMento - The Portal ["The Portal", Cronomi 2011] 09. (45:00) M-Run - Goat Man ["Erta Alé", Cronomi 2011] 10. (51:00) Kadasarva - Cybermind ["Steamagination", Sun Station 2011] 11.

(96:00) E-Mantra - If There Is Nothing ["Pathfinder", Suntrip 2011] Download (161 MB VBR, 102 min, zipped) Txt list Soundcloud Now here's a short story: At some point of summer I thought that there's only been one or two good releases all year and that I should skip this year's mix. In November-December I did some more digging and eventually this mix ended up longer than any of its predecessor. I even left a few good releases out due to matching and length. Weird things happen. Tip: Nowadays you really should check the "free" and "obscure" departments. Sometimes I wonder if this is worth the effort...let me know if you found something interesting, here or elsewhere. Oh, and happy year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, artifact303's Back to Space is some of the best that Suntrip has ever released and was definitely an instant classic to me. Even Antares' and E-Mantra's albums were pretty good imho... But I guess tastes do differ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathmandu Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Listening to the Artifact303 Back to Space album and it is very good. Thank you for the recommendations here. Still more have top-tens to be listened. I also liked Space Tribe Peak Experience and Captain Hook albums from 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juril Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I'll only list the ones that haven't been mentioned yet. Obviously, I haven't listened to everything as much as I'd like to. Sundial Aeon - Mimesis VA - The Oldest Story - The track by Kiriyama (Evening Star) is a reason enough to get this compilation. If I had to vote today, this would be my track of the year. VA - Gates of Unknown Brujo's Bowl - Healing with Sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mephistopheles Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 So far for me (but I have a lot of catching up to do so ...) Some really really good Suntrips this year for me (thank you!): Antares - Exodus E- Mantra - Pathfinder Artifact303 - Back to space VA - Mind rewind :-) Juno Reactor - Inside the reactor Still have to check out the new Talpa, Logic Bomb, CBL, Solar Fields, PortaMento and some others so I'll be kept busy ... hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
