It's time to vote for your favourite uptempo and downtempo psy albums of 2015. 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) The voting will be open until the end of March (more precisely, until the earliest point in April when I have time to lock the thread and start counting). 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).

Psytrance is just as great as ever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH5Au3qTR-0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jNYEbD5NDI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH2Ob1otEmE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1chZLe2kw0

Nice work. Moments of greatness but could do with some editing IMO.

Best band in the history of the universe, evargh. Pure aural architecture. Seven years later this is pretty much still my opinion.

Nice mixing, the recording sounds kind of lo-fi though.

+1 for Azymuth. Also: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlQBYZClWXs

I concur.

Not sure whether I'll have found time to listen to all of my 2015 purchases by then.

Some mod merged these threads, and now my post makes no sense. Thanks, mod.

Seems like every new psytrance album I buy lately is absolutely terrific.

My flatmate recently bought an Xbox One mainly so he could play old Rare games on it. I spent a while playing Solar Jetman yesterday, it was great.

Still sounds great.

And me.

Unusual sound, I like it.

Same here (only needed it once though). Be prepared to have the seller leave you shitty buyer feedback, of course.

Yep, surprised nobody else mentioned them.

Really cool.

Some really nice ideas in the track. I found parts of it sounded a bit sparse though, maybe it could do with more layers?

+1

No need for that, it's just a fact that genre names aren't standardised everywhere, people often use them in different ways in different corners of cyber/real space.

That's uncanny.

How about the continued fraction representation of the golden ratio?

I've heard that trackers are good for making breakcore.

Have you heard the original? It's great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKwK-ZhTurg

I work for a company that does plenty of real work, and we use both Linux and Windows. Both have their strengths.
