I was talking about tracks, not albums....

As the year is coming to an end, what tunes have stood out in 2004 the way you see it? Personally I must admit that I don't think it has been a very good year for psy/goa, although I have yet to hear albums like Filteria - Sky Input and X-Dream. So, what have I missed?

I try to listen as much as I can, but I rarely have as much time for music as I want. 3-4 hours average I guess (not all goa tho).

I hate most full-on released today, but I heard one tune from Astrix not very long ago which I liked: Astrix vs Delirious - Daydream What other tracks by Astrix would you recommend?

Agree with you there, Sweden definitely has the best artists atm. England and France were probably better in the oldschool period though.

Solar Fields Asura Carbon Based Lifeforms H.U.V.A. Network Astralasia Biosphere Sequential are some of my favourites....

Downloading? I don't know what you're talking about....

Hey, people like Scooter and even Britney Spears, so I'd say Yahel isn't the worst you can listen to after all....

Come to think of it I agree with you 100%. Yahel has a couple of decent tracks made some years ago, but most of his work is shit. And "Voyage" must be the most overrated tune ever.

It's not like this is something new, Yahel has turned to cheese long time ago. And Sugar 1 is from 2002, so that doesn't really say much about how his music is today. My guess is that it's become even worse though.

Agreed. I see no reason why people can't post reviews about non-psychedelic music in here, it can actually be a nice break when you get tired of listening to the same genre all the time. Personally I think your reviews are very interesting seraph, keep them coming!

Hmmm, I thought this thread was about MWNN??

I like Astralasia, especially the old stuff, but their last release "Something Somewhere" was also good although more club trance style. "Whatever Happened To Utopia" is probably my favourite album, ambient-trance at its best. Astralsia was truly some of the best producers of this kind of music back in the oldschool period.

Mystica have some great tunes, like Ever Rest and Bliss. Don't know much about the other artists though. What are Asia 2001's best tunes?

Eat Static - Contact (Eat Static Remix) ..is some really bangin stuff...

Alright then, if I'm only supposed to write down one: Hallucinogen.

Subcouds - On Red Ree K. - Kage Miranda - Gnocchi Man With No Name - Teleport (Acceleration Mix) Transwave - The Rezwalker Oforia - Uplifter Hallucinogen - LSD Astral Projection - People Can Fly Dimension 5 - Moon Cake Blue Planet Corporation - Lubiantia Johann - New Kicks (Goa Mix) Underhead - Whirlrain Of Fire Koxbox - Too Pure (TIP Remix) X-Dream - The 5th Dimension Slinky Wizard - The Rising And of course many more that I can't think of atm.

Agree with you there, in addition to those you mentioned I also find his remix of C.M. - Dream Universe and the remixes he did for Grace on the Perfecto Label very good. As for his own tunes my favourites are probably Floor Essence, Vavoom and Teleport, but there's lots of other good stuff too. His tracks may sound similar in style, but there's nothing wrong with that as long as that style is good IMO.

There's many great ones, but my favourites are: Hallucinogen X-Dream Vibrasphere Eat Static Man With No Name Astral Projection Son Kite Juno Reactor Blue Planet Corporation Green Nuns Of The Revolution

SPAMMMM

I'd love to get my hands at the old Spicelab albums, but they're not exactly easy to find nowadays. About L.S.G. - The Hive, I really like this album, pure bangin' tech-trance. Doesn't beat the old L.S.G. stuff though.

I'd be careful before buying anything from those sellers if I were you. The number of stars indicates how satisfied their customers are, and with one star you can't be to sure. You may end up getting a burned copy or something like that.

Same here mate. Nothing made today can come close to the good old era.

^ What he said. If I were to make a top list, it had to be at least 20, but I'm to lazy to do that right now.

Still it's a way from there to "best track ever", don't you think? When you remix a classic like Dancing Galaxy the result should be a little better than everyday boring full-on, at least IMO. In fact, the track is probably best left untouched.
