BEST WORST 2003 CDS


Guest

CDS refers to a CD Single. So I assumed you mean album. I would have to say that the worst is Trold - Once Upon A Time.

 

Best? There is no best for 2003.

Yeah I hate to say it but in this scene there is to much good stuff to choose one, and I never ever feel the right to say a cd is worse thananother until I produce a track that gets released, but my least favourite purchase this year would probably go to Talamasca -Zodiac... yeah the music is quality but 12 tracks of the same old 3D Vision sound just really shits me after the first 6... more variation would've made it a bit more listenable...

I guess this year hasn't been really good on what so called great releases

 

The worst its much easier to say:

 

BIOTONIK whent cheeeezy this year last release was good do.

 

GMS those remixes are realy bad well I gues GMS gets evrybody bored these days

 

I guess form wehat I remeber this year those albums where realy disapointing

 

The BEST for 2003 I hae to say is some band called THD I live in Sweden and a friend send me this THD "rampage" cd and its really good dark & agressive psy-trance exelent material, and realy fucking underground stuff there its nothing from this on the internet either.

Hm... isn't Dynamic also one of the "9654 israeli full-on clones that have no creative value whatsoever"?

 

Best:

 

audialize - wanted [ketuh]

lucy in space with diamonds - emerald city [creon]

penta - pentafiles [spectral concepts]

va - tales from the dark forest [stoneage]

steptime - steptime [stoneage]

 

I can't really name bad ones... there's music I like... and then there's music I don't listen to.

it's strange that nobody mentioned Cosma - "Nonstop" - one trully amazing album...and it has stuck in my cd player for a loooong time :) just can't get enough of his sound...

so for me the outstanding release for 2003 (and maybe for the last couple of years) is Cosma - "Nonstop"...this cd worth much more than the 15Euros i paid for it:)

too bad that Avihen passed our world :(, but his music will be remembered for a long time.

 

 

other good releases for me in 2003 so far are:

 

S-range - "Space" [spiral trax]

Protoculture - "Refractions" [nano records]

compilation - "Clarity" [nano records]

Silicon Sound - "Pure Analog" [moon spirits]

Infected Mushroom - "Convertin Vegetarians" [yoyo records]

Lucy In Space With Diamonds - "Emerald City [creon records] this one really AMAZED me :)))))

Penta - "Pentafiles" [spectral concepts]

compilation - "The Secret Of The 13 Crystal Skulls [tip world]

Ticon - "Aero" [digital structures]

 

and many many more :)))) i'm really happy with all the releases this year :)

i liked also 1200 mics, dynamic, psydrop, psyside, mekkanikka, vibrasphere...etc. :)))

 

i can't say there were bad releases so far :))) everything i heard was great psychedelic music (no matter it was full on/minimal/progressive/tech or whatever you call it) ...

"Hm... isn't Dynamic also one of the "9654 israeli full-on clones that have no creative value whatsoever"?"

 

hehe well, probably for most people but to my ears it sounded pretty original compared with Fatali, Eskimo, Psydrop, Sesto Sento etc. etc. etc. The fact that they're on Phonokol (AP's label) has probably something to do with it... :-)

I've got big expectations for the new Shift album.

 

This year I was also impressed by Stone Age Records. Tales from the Dark Forest was a killer compilation. The Steptime album was decent. Schlab 5 was good. IM's second CD was great. Sundaze was a good comp. Carbon Based Lifeforms gets my vote for best Chill-out.

 

I didn't order any bad releases. :)

Audalize - Wanted

Psysex - Come in Peace

-All of the identical albums released by other artists, excluding melicia's album, which was pretty good IMO(but not best of the year overall).

 

I haven't heard Hujaboy's new album yet, nor deedrah's, and god only knows when talpa and sub6 will release their new albums.
