I didn't even get enough 2023 goa trance to fill a top 10 list lol. So this doesn't mean that I'd have fully enjoyed all of these.
The downtempo list is also a top 10 only because that's basically all the 2023 released downtempo I got.
Most of the music I got last year was something else.

Uptempo:
1. Triquetra - Myriad Vision - Suntrip Records
2. Proxeeus - Weep From W
ithin - Goa Madness Records
3. Xenomorph - Negative Time - Suntrip Records
4. Prana - Sense Of Unity - Matsuri Digital

5. Profetia - Divergent Species - Self Released
6. Morphic Resonance - Extrasensory Perception - Suntrip Records
7. Triquetra - Access Denied - Suntrip Records
8. Ephedra - Deep Nothingness EP - Goa Madness Records
9. Veasna - Providence - Goa Madness Records

Downtempo: (not in order yet)
1. Children Of The Bong - (Not Sirius) - Disco Gecko
2. Asura - Renaissance - N.L.E. Records
3. Sundial Aeon - Regenesis - Impact Studio Records
4. Seb Taylor - Collected Downtempo Vol. 5 - Tribal Shift Records
5. Proxeeus - Cydathria EP - La Transe Insoumise
6. Benji Vaughan - Eidolon - Twisted Records
7. VA - Ethneomystica Vol. 11 - Mystic Sound Records
8. Cosmic Trigger - Forager's Delight - Twisted Records
9. VA - Save The Children - Ensancha El Alma Records
10. Carbon Based Lifeforms - Seeker - Leftfield Records

(added the Xenomorph EP, and assuming single releases are okay here, the Prana single, uptempo almost a top 10 now)

i think 2023 was a disappointing  year in psytrance / down tempo

the new albums of down tempo acts like asura, cbl, aes dana, benji vaughn, .. were all ok, but certainly not as good as their older stuff...nothing really special that contributed somthing new to the genre

up tempo: only 1 album that i really liked and will still like in 2034, and that was 

morphic resonance - extrasensory perception

the acid lines! the dark sound! the vibe! (= lets go motherfuckers! party time!) the rawness and pureness of his sound

I kinda agree here. Nothing really special on the downtempo side of things (or maybe I just missed all the really good ones). I have to say especially the new CBL was pretty underwhelming.

Now for the Morphic Resonance album, I kinda like it, but I just feel his sound got a bit too sparkly, even if the aggressiveness is still there. On the other hand, the Triquetra album is grit and dirt done absolutely right. It'll definitely be among my favourite goa trance albums from this decade.

i like, but not love, the triquetra album, it has something raw (not over produced) but the melodies just don't  do the trick for me personally, i can't lose my mind to it, i cant explain

triquetra's live act at parties is always exciting by the way, more exciting than their albums, so if you like them so much, you certainely have to see them on a party or festival, nice people and they are still young, so there will be much more music i think the coming years
