My favourite of that year was and still is Space Cat - Mechanical Dream. It's full on but for me very original with lots of elements that remind me on old-school goa.

I chose X-Dream, simply for the originality factor which had me listening to it over and over again. That sort of stuff - vocoder-heavy electro - tends to up my alley. Filteria comes in second. Juno Reactor comes in dead last for that steaming pile of donkey doo.

2004 was, in my opinion, one of the best years for psytrance. Loads and loads of excellent albums:

 

12 Moons - Solid State

Kooler - Open

Son Kite - Colours

FREq - Strange Attractors

Atmos - 2nd Brigade

Saiko-Pod - Phutureremixes

Human Blue - Electrolüx

Andromeda - Temptations

Prometheus - Robot.O.Chan

Vatos Locos - Attack And Release

Sub6 - Who Needs Love Songs

Lunaspice - Reflexions

Tetraktys - Tetraktys

Shakta - Feed The Flame

BLT & Danni Makov - Anything U Want

 

... and more.

 

My top pick is probably Son Kite though.

I seem to be seriously lacking any Psytrance albums from 2004 so was wondering which albums were most worth getting.

 

Thanks

No one mentioned Electric Universe - Cosmic Experience.. I think it was one of the best releases 2004 together with Filterias Sky Input and Talpas The Art Of Being Non.

Definately Prometheus for me. It's one of my favourite albums and I sometimes touch myself in anticipation of his new album. Just 4 more weeks 'til it's released, then again it's Twisted so maybe it's 4 months.

What? :huh: What ever happened to my 2004 thread? I made a best albums of 2004 thread somewhere in October, November, or December of 2004. I can't find it when I do a search. :( It was titled something like.. "Your Top/Most Favorite albums of 2004." It would be nice if that thread still exists and can be located somehow. I don't know what happened. :huh:

 

I remember several of my faves and those I considered Top 2004 albums were:

 

Filteria: Sky Imput ... A-

 

Talpa: The Art of Being Non ... B+

 

Four Carry Nuts - Mechanical Age ... B+

 

Ypsilon5: Binary Sky ... B+

 

Space Monkey: Psychotic Episode ... B

 

Electric Universe: Cosmic Experience ... B

 

* And the best comp of 2004 was (for me at least) hands down, the "There Is No Tomorrow" comp. I haven't heard a dark psytrance comp nearly as good since!

 

 

As far as the list above goes, I don't agree with AP: Ten. I mean, it's basically a comp, a remix cd (by other artists only), and an extremely disappointing one at that. AP didn't do one track! It's probably the only album I wish I didn't buy in all of 2004.
