I don't know 5 essential prog-trance albums, cos I'm still quite new to this genre. but I love what I'm hearing.
my faves so far..
Vibrasphere - Lime Structure
Sensifeel - Next Vision
Ticon - Aero
maybe the Yotopia album too, havn't really made up my mind about that one yet.
-
np: Ticon - Aero...before that: Saafi Brothers - Liquid Beach
-
probably an order from Acuja Productions including Sensifeel, Gus Till..... and more stuff I havn't thought of yet.
lots of Ozrics I'm missing on CD and their ambient sideproject Nodens Ictus - Spacelines.

The new Flow V/A - Daily Basis.
Everybit as good as the "Globalize"
Freq - Gosub 20

It's good but still under further investigation...
Shiloh - Bleed
http://www.discogs.com/release/704203
Great 2CD: 1 with chill & break-tracks & 1 with UK-progressive-dancefloor-stuff (incl tracks by David West & 3 with Luke Chable) :
their stuff is considdered groundbreaking by Son Kite & Jaïa to name but a few fans
ooh, got to hear Shiloh. if Son Kite and Jaia likes em they gotto be somebody

do you want releases from 2005?
Danieto - Cirugia Casual
Ferenc - Fraximal
Joel Tammik - Eluline
Marc Leclair -Musique Pour 3 Femmes Enceintes
Monolake - Polygon_Cities (this is the Monolake album you mean right)
Seamus (Amir Baghiri & Stefano Gentile) - Forever
Seele (Amir Baghiri & Stefano Gentile) - Berlin
Studio Pankow - Linienbusse
Vince Watson - Sublimina
2005 did turn out pretty good after all. so far I'm disapointed with 2006, but who knows it might change.
so far I've only enjoyed Monolake - Plumbicon Versions. these were OK though: Lump - LumpDub, Pablo Bolivar - Anjanas, Yagya - Will I Dream During The Process? (their previous album Rhythm Of Snow was much better though).
there are coming some nice re-issues:
Monolake - Hongkong
Bass Communion vs Muslimgauze - not sure wha the re-issue title will be, cause this CD will be including all tracks they produced together. this is experimental/industrial techno like the noisier side Monolake, perhaps comparable to Momentum.
and I did mention Monolake??

wow!! I didn't know there were a formula for feelings. you could become a millionaire Radi!

The Delta - Send in... send back

Metalogic - Magnetic influence

Intact Instinct - Metallzerstäuber
Manibus - Escape
...
Enjoy
Yet I don't really get what you mean by "as some of Koxbox and Logic Bomb", they're far from being techtrance imo.
edit: may I add that you miss an awful lot of good tracks if you don't listen to compilations, there're some stunning compis out there.
some feedback then; I've tried most of the names here, but it's only Spirallianz and Midi Miliz that really has impressed me. I liked a few of the X-Dream track, but not amazing overall. thanks for the help man!!

I will have to try Astral Projection, looks like they stir up some emotions here. I kind of been avoiding them cause they're a big name, generally means bad music in my book.
-

Yes ofcourse man, i know that, but how do you call the melodies that are alike to for example greek folk music in psychedelic trance, the melodies of astral projection, mfg and so on, greek folk music isn´t the best example but good enough to get what i mean. How do you describe such music? I also can´t get how some people can say eurotrance or so is emotional, what´s emotional there, it must be more pathetical, i mean with more black keys. Black keys are the key for emotional music IMO, or am i talking about something different?
I don't think certain melodies have names the way you are trying to put words on it. but there are official scales though that all melodies are based on. for instance, blues scale, arabic scale, etc.
-
-
ok I see where you are getting at. yeah there are "subtle melodies" as you say, and tracks where there's a no melody leading the song I wouldn't classify as a "melodic song" either.
-
yeah! what is a melody if it's not melodic?
sure there could be different types of melodies. but I'm not sure if it's an objective thing. "melodic melodies" sounds weird though.
not all sounds that aren't bass and drum in trance are melodies. like all random bleeps and noises in trance are not "melodies".
melodies in my definition are logical chord pattern, that's the best way I can describe it. I can't read notes so I can't give you an exemple.
-
just that you use the term "Melodic melodies" imply you have no idea what you're talking about. sorry to break the news for you.
-
is it better than Strange Attractors? I'm still trying to decide if this album is good or not. I definitly like the first track though Carbon-Based Lifeforms.
p.s. this ambient track Bliss is really nice too!
-
exactly, melody based music is melodic music. and non-melodic music is minimalistic, noisy whatever. what's so strange about that
p.s. And melodic music isn't the same as emotional music. there are melodic pop music that is dead-cold.
-
you're confusing it with "sentimental" right?
emotional = feelings ... that's all I think
-
I love Amber but it has never emotionally engaged me *that* much.
Ozric Tentacles however, Ed just need to lay his hands on the guitar strings and it's like mental masturbation for me.
Magma is also very emotional for me, but this band is off topic in this forum.
I think one or two Björk songs have made me shed a tear once.
oh, and let's not forget Jefferson Airplane. listening to Triad, I tell you that is emotional and profound lyrics.
-
Rovo - Sai
minimal/experimental rock at its best!
-
Ozric Tentacles - The Floor's Too Far Away.....on mp3 only so far.
-
JackCheese >> given it a couple of listens, it has some really nice tracks. but I think it's one of their lesser good. certainly better than Swirly Termination though which they released to get rid of their current record lable at that time.
abasio >> on CD you can get all very easily. if you live in Europe look at Rubbish Records catalogue they sell them for about £ 5. if you want vinyl it's a bit harder, I think The Hidden Step and Arborscense are still fairly easy to find though.
p.s. as far recommendations it's hard to tell. you can say there are different periods though.
1. first the 6 early albums that came on cassette. these are fun and melodic albums, not as layered and clever compositions as the albums that would follow. the sound quality is not the best either. still enjoyable albums though.
2. the early 90's albums. pungent, erpland, jurassic, strangeitude. this is my favorite period. the compositions are the best. the sound quality is great.
3. later 90's period starting with arborscense. good production but the compositions are not their best no longer. they become more and more electronic based, that is why I think if you're a hardcore trance-fan you might like this stuff. ppl on this forum seem to like Waterfall Cities alot?? The Hidden Step is my favorite if you can count it into this period.
4. early 2000 til now. the "confusing period" maybe?? lots of line-up changes. Spirals In Hyperspace which is good but it's more of an Ed solo album. and the recent The Floor's Too Far Away which is not my favorite but it's not bad. sounds more like a compilation with songs from different eras.
to summon it up, try these albums if you want a taste of each period:
Sliding Gliding Worlds
Jurassic Shift
The Hidden Step
Spirals In Hyperspace
