Psynews BEST OF 2008!

Recommended Posts

Most of the stuff I've bought this time round has been from previous years and I'm not a great fan of downloading... But for what it's worth here's my results from this year.

 

Trance

1;OOOD;Fourthought;Phar Psyde Records

2;RA;9th;Suntrip Records

3;Tetrahedron;Crop Circles;DAT records

4;VA;Opus Iridium Disk 1;Suntrip Records

5;Voice Of Cod;Gone Fission;Organic Records

 

Chillout

1;Distant System;Spiral Empire;Celestial Dragon

2;VA;Opus Iridium Disk 2;Suntrip Records

3;Hol Baumann;Human;Ultimae

4;Eat Static;Back To Earth; Interchill

5;I Awake;The Core;Ultimae

 

EDIT: I'm slightly wary about giving OOOD the top spot in my trance list since it's a fairly new purchase in comparason to the rest, but I really don't think it will be knocked off through multiple listens any time soon. Plus in any case I can always edit the post again if it does :)

EDIT II: done one last check through my results and decided to take out Electypnose's Funked Up and Ticon's 2am. They are both fantastic albums but they're so removed from the psytrance sound that they just don't look right in this list. Plus if I keep them I'd have to add minilogue's animals and they whole concept would just collapse :) In any case their replacemens 'VOC' and 'Tetrahedron' are both very well deserving. Fourthought still kicks all their asses though.

yeh, i just took the most no-nonsense psy i came across this year. you can download my top-3 in wav for free here.

the gorump peyya one is really really bad. so bad it's the dark's equivalent of a cult B-horrormovie. so it's actually really really good.

the trimada album is apocalyptic psy-tek.

Damn it's gonna be hard this year... I got 19 candidates of upbeat and 20 of downbeat already... and I still haven't heard the new OOOD, James Murray and many more :(

 

But I guess that accounts for a bloody good year of music :D

It's not bad. It's not great for sure, but it's way better than what I was expecting. For example there's no 180 bpm tracks in there, like many of his compilation tracks.

Just an idea, but I think this would allow for interesting statistics if to ours vote we'd add:

- nick,

- age,

- country,

- continent,

- year you started listening to goa/psy-trance

 

i.e.: Antic;32;Poland;Europe;1997;1;OOOD Fourthought;PHAR Psyde etc.

 

That way whoever will compile this will just copy the posts to some database or Excel and it's almost ready :)

what does it mean when ppl vote for 2 or 3 chill albums? does that mean they've only listened to those albums?!!? :unsure:<_<

In my case, I only actually bought four 2008 chill albums (three of them on purpose, too). I will undoubtedly discover several more good 2008 chill albums in 2009, hence this thread. That's not to say the albums I voted for didn't deserve it, I listen to samples of loads of stuff and only buy those I think will be really good.

IN my case, it's because they are the only 3 albums i've listened to, who's worthy of being listed here (IMO) :)
