No more to be listed, and even people don't want to accept the true changes of psytrance you must realise that this has been the worst of all years for the psytrance scene, 2004 is full of nonsense releases by many bands that used to make good sounds when they released an album, so that's it, i just listed the albums that are safe from the decay season.

I don’t agree with you at all – in fact I think this has been one of the best years ever for psytrance. Sure, a lot of copy/paste stuff has been released, but don’t base your judgements on the worst releases – base your judgements on the best.

 

But of course taste differs :)

i wanted to add that misted muppet in my opinion is just another weak israeli release

I'll second, third and fourth that... this was probably the sh*ttiest cd released this year, with Zoo 3 a second contender... a lame rip off of Infected's Classical style, and insult to ture musicians and earache for the listener... when will Israel actually release something intersting and new? Stop the speed and hit the acid again soon please!
