Rotwang Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 It's time to vote for your favourite uptempo and downtempo psy albums of 2014. You can vote for up to 10 releases (including albums, compilations, EP's and singles) in each category; your first will be awarded 10 points, your second 9, and so on. Cast your vote by replying to this thread with your votes written in the following format (the label is optional, but if you can be bothered to put it in it will make counting votes easier): Uptempo: 1: Artist - Title (label) 2: Artist - Title (label) 3: Artist - Title (label) 4: Artist - Title (label) 5: Artist - Title (label) 6: Artist - Title (label) 7: Artist - Title (label) 8: Artist - Title (label) 9: Artist - Title (label) 10: Artist - Title (label) Downtempo: 1: Artist - Title (label) 2: Artist - Title (label) 3: Artist - Title (label) 4: Artist - Title (label) 5: Artist - Title (label) 6: Artist - Title (label) 7: Artist - Title (label) 8: Artist - Title (label) 9: Artist - Title (label) 10: Artist - Title (label) You have until the end of February to vote (this is open to negotiation if people want longer). If you change your mind after voting, don't make a new post - just edit your existing post. Also, if you reply to a post in this thread then please remove any votes from the quoted material (I will be copying and pasting the thread into an automatic vote-counting doohickey, so if votes appear twice they may be counted twice).

Rotwang Posted January 4, 2015 Author Share Posted January 4, 2015 You can vote for fewer than ten in each category if you want; that's what I'm going to do, I hardly bought any new psy this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desysko Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Wow this is going to be a tough one, lots of good stuff and I love a lot of them, plus I haven't listened to some of the newer releases yet at all. Rough Draft Uptempo: 1: Psysutra – Gamma Phoenicis (Cronomi Records) 2: V/A - Ten Spins Around The Sun (Suntrip Records) 3: V/A - Three Ohm Three (Anjuna Records) 4: Hardfloor - The Art of Acid (Hardfloor.de) 5: V/A - The Live Remixes (The Hypnotic LFO Room) 6: Dragon Twins – Only For The Wicked (NeoGoa) 7: ON3 - Plateaux EP (Platipus Records) 8: V/A - Flight 604 II (Zion 604) 9: Maiia303 – Sky In Diamonds (Ovnimoon Records) 10: Blue Planet Corporation - Unreleased Old Sounds Series - 1 - Compilation (Self-Released) I pretty much haven't listened to anything recent from the past 1-3 months, so I will have to do some catching up with that. I did just uptempo since I don't really listen to much downtempo compared to Uptempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juril Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Final, I guess. Uptempo: 1: Goch - Sphere of Influence (Hypnotica Records) 2: Cybered - Acid Box (Horns and Hoofs Entertainment) 3: Gojja - Eggshell Marmalade (Sanaton Records / Lost Theory Records) 4: VA - Beyond the Tuubi (Sound Kitchen Records) 5: Psyshastra - Through the Forest (Backflip Records) Downtempo: 1: Audioglider - Accidental Beauty (Section Records) 2: Ajja & Cosmosis - The Alien Jams (Peak Records) 3: Point - Flatpad (Digital Diamonds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Padmapani Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Uptempo: 1: V/A - Ten Spins Around the Sun (Suntrip)2: V/A - Moon Ritual (Amakusa)3: E-Mantra - Nemesis (Suntrip)4: Astral Projection - Goa Classics Remixed (TIP)5: Shakta - Retroscape (Suntrip)6: Moonweed - Voice of Jupiter (Anjuna)7: V/A - Three OM Three (Anjuna)8: Deviant Electronics - Green Room (Zion604)9: Lunarave - Do You Know Who You Are (Hadra)10: V/A - Analog Dreams (DAT)Downtempo: 1: Cosmic Replicant - Soul of the Universe (Ektoplazm)2: E-Mantra - Echoes from the Void (Altar) 3: Astronaut Ape - Flight 420 (Microcosmos) 4: Androcell - Imbue (Altar) 5: GMO vs. Dense - Equation (Altar) 6: Ajja & Cosmosis - The Alien Jams (Peak) 7: Globular - Digging & Building (Ektoplazm) 8: V/A - Floating Spirals 2 (Altar) but to be honest the three top downtempo albums are equally good (and surprisingly similar in style) this time. cosmic replicant is better than e-mantra which is better than astronaut ape which is better than cosmic replicant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolmot Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Should we count Radical Distortion as 2014 or 2015? I think the official CD release date is in 2015. As far as I know, there's no digital release per se, but you could get the files from Bandcamp as preorder bonus already in 2014. It's debatable whether this counts as a release or just early access. I'd include it in my 2015 list (if any) according to the CD date, but splitting its votes over two different polls wouldn't be exactly fair. Any suggestions?

BraneFreeze Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Many of the best 2014 albums are actually re-releases of older material, but here's my list: UPTEMPO 1 - Moonweed - Voice Of Jupiter 2 - VA - Moon Ritual 3 - Shakta - Retroscape 4 - Omnivox - Fragments Of Evolution 5 - Ovnimoon & Rigel - Omnipresent Technology 6 - Morphic Resonance - Chromatic World Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the title of the label post at the announcement forum: Zion 604 | Radical distortion's New studio album ( 2014 ) Also http://www.discogs.com/Radical-Distortion-12-Dimensions/master/783974 I included this release in the 2014 list, as i purchased mine in 2014. Also stated at Radical's facebook, the album was released in December 2014, but the CDs are going to be shipped on 15 January 2015. Am i wrong to assume that it is a 2014 release?

I'm happy to let voters decide things like this for themselves. Vote for it in both polls if you want. In previous years the same album has been voted for in both uptempo and downtempo categories and I don't have a problem with that; this kind of borderline case is similar.
