Did you guys see the pathetic poll @ Isratrance? :wank: Parvati's No Strings Attached had 50% less votes because it's a compilation (split album, actually, but who cares) and some guys voted for it in the Best Album category... and Detox says "votes deleted, case closed, have a nice day mate" <_< ...omg

 

I hope we won't fall to that level, ok? :)

Just a question, can the free album "2003-2007" released by Psylent Buddhi this year be added in this poll? If so, what should we put in the "label" tag?

 

Thanks!

It has some tracks on it that have never been released before (plus a lot of stuff no one has heard anyway) so it qualifies. The idea is to vote for the best release of 2008, not necessarily music that was made in 2008 (as long as it's not just a compilation of old tracks that have been heard before).

 

I guess for label just put "self-released".

 

 

 

Now I have a question for you guys; would Kettel - Myam James 1 be considered ambient/chill? Or is it IDM? It would be in my top5 if it's considered ambient/chill.

It was really hard deciding which order to put them in, especially the trance list. There were so many good albums this year. You know it's been a good year when an album like Tethrahedron doesn't even make my top5 :)

I guess not. It's pure IDM ambient IMO.

I would like to vote for SubtractiveLAD-Apparatus too, but it doesn't have any real psybient elements in it, so I didn't.

The most pathetic thing is these albums are the ONLY ones of 2008 I actually listened to... By the time I'll get all I want from the past years it'll be Best Of 2012!

 

So what do you think about results? It seems like Ra - 9th is going to make it very high.

For the artist/album/label stuff yeah. I don't have the country info or anything like that though. I'm not sure if anyone is still going to do that or not?

When I read this I was thinking about editing my vote and including the release countries. But then I realized it will be hard to make all voters edit their vote.

So my conclusion is: We are the world - We are the future. Who needs to seperate countries anyway :P
