Hello to all!

I thought that would be good idea of begining a topic about the best releases in 2006! The releases can be albums, compilations, eps, vinyls that you liked a lot!Good would be also to say with few words why did you liked this release! In this way we can propose also our best releases. I think that you will like my idea!

 

So far these are my best releases: (not all some of them, the rest later)

 

Progressive / Psytrance

 

Vibrasphere - Archipelago (Digital Structures)

Once more Vibrasphere proved to us how big artists they are!!!Amazing album, great quality, beautiful vibe & profesional work!These guys are also very good producers in ambient - chill music, some great tunes in that disc!Definitely one of the best albums in 2006!!! Highly Recommended (if u dont have it yet)!

 

Protoculture - Circadians (Nano Records)

After his amazing debut album "Refractions", Protoculture come back with his new album!Little different from the first album, but this alsom very good!Awesome uplifting and melodic moments that he is so famous for!Much better than all the other fullon boring albums and he escape little from the standarts of fullon style!

for me it's mantrix and mood deluxe all the way, possibly with god save the machine coming up in second.

 

and as RAH says it would be interesting to bump this thread up in November and see if anyone even remembers some of the releases up there ;)

Kemic-Al - The Dark Journal

 

A nice moving concept album feels like one big long track. Dark but better than any other dark releases I've heard this year.

 

Androcell - Efflorescence

 

Nice, relaxed, quite organic and interesting. Listened to it loads of times so far this year.

My friend, i dont mean exactly this! My idea is something different! well look, works like that: You buy a release in 2006, you like it and you think this release is so good to post it here! each month we have new releases, so post here these releases that you think that they are very good!

 

Cheers :)

add to this list-

 

Tegma- Around the World in 80 Minutes

 

and

 

Furious- Not For Fame

550437[/snapback]

Yes you are right! i forgot Tegma's new album! I would prefer this album with less ethnic sample in! sometimes this beacomes tedious with so many ethnic samples! but yes is realy nice release!!!

Now about the Furious album i don't have taste it yet, but i think i must check it!

Kemic-Al - The Dark Journal

Androcell - Efflorescence

Both albums are very good! Especially the Kemic-Al album, as you said much better than any other dark releases!

About the Androcell's new album, mmm i dont know, i waited this album better than the first "Emotivision", but this is also good!

I would like to send a thread-answer later this year as there is any real release that makes me very enthusiastic until now. I will receive soon the "Fairytale" album from Ka-Sol, and I hope I will find something really interesting inside.

 

Some old tracks from the X-Dream"s "Best of" are very good, and it's an opportunity for the persons which haven't still heard them. But, it's not my case. ;)

 

The reprint of "Chaos Laboratory" on Avatar is a good thing for all people who want to discover the Growling Mad Scientists goa time. The actual GMS has nothing to do with this stuff.

 

I have to admit, even if I prefer, by far, the goa genre than the progressive psytrance music, that the Vibrasphere album, "Archipelago", is good quality, ambient and relax. It's far better than all the present crap full-on stuff. :)

 

I give all my consideration to the ambient compilation "Peace Therapy 2" which is high quality, original and very pleasant for the ears.

I really like the Psysiq Jicuri - A Rain Of Hope In The Galaxy album. It's melodic and totaly fits the summer. Haven't got it for too long so I don't know how/if my opinion will change in the future but so far I really think it's a nice release.

best album so far this year for me is Ka-sol-Fairytale and it will probably be in the top 5 of best realeses at the end of this year,Triac´s debut album is also very good deep and pumping just the way i like it,for proggy realeses my favorite so far is Vibrashpere-Archipelago and Perfect Stranger´s album Learning=change two great albums,,for compilations there are alot of good stuff realesed,best I´ve heard so far is v/a 100 full moons,Sanatonic audio is also worth mentioning. B) when it comes too full on ,I say m.f.g.-message from god fits my taste perfectly....

the entire album (minus the 12 minute long bonus track and minus studio mixing/mastering) is available for free on my download site. its called xerxes-the_mirror_formula.mp3 (i think hehe)..

 

xerxesmusic.tz4.com (download site)

 

album sold out really fast as it was only a 300 copy limited edition. less than a month and it was gone. hopefully next one will be a bigger release with more distribution etc.

 

thank you for your kind words, and keep listening :)

 

much respect,

.x
