Let's see, this won't be simple:

 

  • Artifact303 - Back To Space
  • Portamento - The Portal
  • M-Run - Some Run Just For Fun
  • E-Mantra - Arcana
  • Filteria - Lost In The Wild
  • Crossing Mind - The Inner Shift
  • Mindsphere - Patience To Heaven
  • Ra - 9th
  • Khetzal - Corolle
  • Cosmic Dimension - In A Special Kind Of Space

Honorable mentions go to Antares - Exodus, Lunar Dawn - Kolovrat, Artha - Influencing Dreams. Without regret for the music itself it needs to be said that it's a bit of a pity that this list is dominated so much by 1 label (actually 2 if you consider the relative small catalogue of Cronomi).

 

Compilations, all ten of these are SUPERB:

 

  • Phoenix (Zion 604)
  • Ten Spins Around The Sun (Suntrip)
  • Era Ale (Cronomi)
  • Call Of Goa (Ovnimoon)
  • Flight 604 2 (Zion 604)
  • People Walk Funny (Cronomi)
  • Temple Of Chaos (Suntrip)
  • Twist Dreams (Suntrip)
  • Space Of Power (Global Sect)
  • The World Beyond (Neogoa)

Actually the number of pretty decent compilations seems to be greater than the individual albums. Other strong contenders are Colors Of Goa (Ovnimoon), Voyager: First Plateau (Hado), Planet Riders (Dimensional), Opus Iridium (Suntrip. This only got left out of the top ten because imo Ten Spins trumps it... Monster classics like E-Mantra's voyager 2 and Artifact303's Feelings, Ethereal's Moondawn will always have a special place in my heart.), Blacklight Moments (Suntrip) and Dimensional Gateway (Neogoa).

 

Good Topic! We should start paying more attention to these 'new' classics. Other 'goa'-related releases from the last years that really stood out for me include Ovnimoon's Trancemutation of the Mind and Psylocibian's Dreamtime although imo neither of these can be classified as pure goa.

 

God I love New School!!

Roughly in order of preference:

 

Portamento - The Portal

Artifact303 - Back to Space

BlackStarrFinale - AURYN

Merr0w - Born Underwater

Ra - 9th

Khetzal - Corolle

Psysutra - Gamma Phoenicis

Ephedra - Journey Through My Head

JaraLuca - Perpetuum Mobile

E-Mantra - Nemesis

 

 

This was actually hard to put together not because there are too many good ones, but because it's very rare for me to love an entire album these days. For example on Filteria's albums I will usually find 2-3 tracks that I really like, but I can't really say that I enjoy very much the rest of the album. Weird :wacko:

Not sure what you mean by "new school trance" but if we mean any music released since year 2005 or so then I just want to mention one album that I am surprised has not been mentioned yet

Ubar tmar - Ubarpedia, Triple CD released in 2012 it is my favourite album of the last 10 years (probably).

Only the most acidic of the newschool could keep me interested to the end.

As for compilations, I've listened just to:

V/A - The World Beyond
Aurora Sidera

And they are a must.
