Scandinavian and tech trance recommendations (late 90's/early 2000's)?

[healium]

I've been enjoying the compil "A Progress in Trance" by DJ Anti recently - this has music by Atmos, Son Kite, Vibrasphere, Logic Bomb, Phony Orphants, and the classic track "Idiot" by Hux Flux.

 

I'm thinking I've missed some treasures of this style - the "Scando sound" - mostly Swedish psytrance of this period.

 

I've got all albums by Hux Flux, Logic Bomb, Atmos, and Reefer Decree already. From Vibrasphere I've got "Echo" and "Exploring the Tributaries".

 

Any recommendations of albums or compilations?

 

thanks!

Check out the early: Digital Structures, Iboga, Spiral Trax/Acid Casualties/ACDC/Microgram recordings, MPDQX Label Group..... Labels

 

All the best from a Sunny Sweden.... Enjoy!!

First releases by Human Blue, Matenda & Tegma.

It's not Swedish but if you like Atmos : Headcleaner, then you might dig the album of Cosmis tone : Overwhelming

 

[Time_Trap]

Both Trimada albums.

 

Especially "Left Behind" is the darkest tech-trance I've heard.

 

Both are really good and rather unknown and underrated as well.

Cool, thanks for the recommendations!

 

Any idea where to buy older releases when they are sold out in the main shops?

I forgot a major artist in the Heavy, Pounding Minimal thread when everyone was talking about how no newer artists had followed the same path and its been pissing me off for a while haha:

I am a moron, we both talked about the Bufo Album in the OTHER thread : "That rare 2001 sound".

Awesome, thanks again! I've been downloading some Iboga releases from Discogs - woo!

If you like Atmos, Vibrasphere etc. I'm sure you will like Protonica. It is a more new style from Iono music but I know these guys got a lot of influences from Atmos, Human Blue etc when they started making progressive trance. By the way, I think 'Floating Free' from Vibrasphere is a killer song!
