1 Kuro and Charm 2 BoTfb 3 ZNA gathering 4 Toal Eclipse 5 Psylent Buddhi 6 Elysium pack (most listened for sure) 7 Pleiadians 8 Analog visions Median project was good but wouldn't put in the list, Ree k. had some good tracks but others were hit and miss, UX didn't like at all. I'm curious about pete and pan. Everyone here seems to praise it. Will go and buy if it has some much acclaim. Will add more or change order later. Edit: Bought Pete and Pan CD and Hypnoxock because I heard it in the past on youtube and liked it!

This is my TOP 10 for 2019 GOA & PSYCHEDELIC 01 - K.U.R.O. & Charm - Japanese Vibrations (DAT Records) 02 - Battle Of The Future Buddhas - The Light Behind The Sun (Suntrip Records) 03 - Psylent Buddhi - Secrets Of The Atom (Suntrip Records) 04 - V.A. - ZNA Retro Futuristic Compilation II (DAT Records & ZNA Gathering) 05 - V.A. - Analog Visions (DAT Records) 06 - Total Eclipse - Tokyo Live (Suntrip Records) 07 - Spindrift - Deep Nature (StereoHemia Records) 08 - Ree.K - Early Tracks (Hypnodisk) 09 - Pleiadians - Pyramid (EtnicaNet) 10 - Ultimate Xperience - Realm Of A New Dawn (Neogoa) DOWNTEMPO 01 - Avaris - The Forgotten Language (Axios Records) 02 - Eric Electric - Run Away Controls (Bass Star Records) Tips for the new producers: Sorry, nothing "ringed my bell", try harder! STOP using psy-trance machine gun bass everywhere, DON'T make everything sound "Full-on", lower down your damn BPM!, STOP over-compress your mastering!!!!!!!!!!!, BE more unique and for God shake, FORGET the typical Goa or Psy forms or use them minimal!, DON'T copy-paste ideas from others or from the past, Create your own sound! This is the ONLY way to be remembered in the future! One exception, Pete & Pan - Return of the Goddess, somehow this one touched me... very good album but not that good for the top-10

Lots of names that I can't add in. Some spots likely to change as I re-listen to 2019. Uptempo 1. Dreamchild - Akashic Dreaming (Unreleased Goa Records): Beautiful and exciting style, has taken number 1 spot for longevity and sustained excitement. 2. Median Project - Constellation (Suntrip Records): Now Number 2 for most listens and taking this style of Goa to another level. 3. Va - Goa Gilde (Kali Earth Records): Still fresh in but listened enough to know this will stay in the list 4. Merr0w - Odysseus (Global Sect): After more listens this has moved up the list, another stellar advancement of skill. 5. Sykespico - Perspective (Suntrip Records): Could easily have been number 1 as well. Thick melodies abound. 6. Elysium - Live ...And Beyond (Digital Reprints): Filled with seriously groovy and fantastic trance music. 7. Psylent Buddhi - Secrets of the Atom (Suntrip Records): Everything that is good about Goa can be found in this album. 8. Pete & Pan - Return of the Goddess (Goa Madness Records): For originality and straight up enjoyment 9. Jaraluca - The Prologue (Mamomam Records): Craaaazy Trance music and a big progression in Jaraluca's skill and style. 10. Jagoa - The First Steps (Self-Release): Thoroughly worthy of a spot on the list, emotional, trance dancey & exciting. Downtempo 1. Lauge - Dawn (Iboga Records) 2. Shamanizm Parallelii - Blue Lizard (Neogoa Records) 3. Advanced Suite - TAKING MUSic in tHe ROOMS th&t DreaMT (Self Release) 4. Blisswave - Manvantara (Melusine Records) 5. Va - Ethnomystica (Mystic Sound Records) 6. Bosa - Eyes of The Jaguar (Self-Release) 7. Zen baboon - Origiro (Self-Release)
