Funny you posted those 3 already, I was popping in to try and be first.
And those were all on my list.
I will also offer that 2010 has been good for:
SeaMoon – A Twisted Downbeat Adventure (Downtempo)
VA – Kartuxo [Timecode] (Twilight Psy / Dark Fullon)
Alienapia – Goapocalipsis [Space Baby] (Goa)
Progenitor – Electro Bite [Iono Music] (PsyProg)
Those are my thoughts for now.
And, btw – Ektoplazm is having a pretty good year so far as well so cheers.
Probably will end up with a few of your own releases on this list before long. Keep up the good work.

I’ve been so far out of the Psy loop lately, mostly been listening to more Minimal and Dubstep this year.
I’ll have to check out the 3 post and AriScotLe’s list as well – get back into that wizzy noiiise :)
VA Jupiter Toadstool – deep layerd cyberdelica from eminent darkpsy brains
VA Earth – the fourth element from Altar Records
VA Somatic Frenzy – groove, atmospheric and forest inspiring night psychedelica
+1 for Jupiter Toadstool
+1 for Alienapia! :)
Artha – Influencing Dreams
Reminds me of Cosmosis’s Cosmology and Synergy
Oh and another +1 to Alienapia’s Goapocalipsis
i think Parvatrip and Wizack Twizack Space no more should not be in here.
instead how about Loud’s Free From Conceptual Thoughts
xox basilisk
How about California Sunshine and Goasia’s new albums
Also the Newest Ekoplex, sounds good enough for me hehehe,
and maybe a more techno deep stuff, Trentemoeller just got something new, previews look good, check it out.
I don’t like wizack style so i can’t say whether to keep him or not, but Parvatrip is defenetly on
Also i’ve got this weird suomi cd “breakfast of champion”, very original and creative sound, progressive style, like puoskari in some way
that’s all for now, thanks for reading my post
Shiva3 – Space In The Woods
VA Halo Effect – Fresh psy-energetic start by the german label Damaru
KinDzaDza – Insoluble – Leo’s latest cyberdelic soundscapez/mindgamez
VA Temple of Chaos – Deep hypnotic goa-trance from Suntrip records
Battle of the Future Buddhas and Ka-Sol – Masters of Outhouse – Scandinavian Uppsala madness
VA Idiosynth Trickery – (Un)usual Suomiland mazes
+1 for Idiosynth Trickery, but i don’t see Temple of chaos anywhere near this list, it’s dark, trippy, boring, it lacks capacity, the Shakta track was a bit disappointing
How about mental Extensions-Inner reality ?
BotFB & Ka-Sol – Masters Of Outhouse
I think Wizacks album defenetly fits in here, a very psytrance dedicated album. One of the best for me! better then many many albums and comps that has been released this year… see for yourself!
Will you be adding other genres in these lists? Like some of that minimal/progressive/techno-house (Gui Boratto type) ? It’s hard to find a worthy LP or a CD, lots of good EPs but nothing lengthy.
Shiva3 – Space in the Woods – Atmospheric/ melancholic/ shamanistic forest vibes with old school flavour
Krusseldorf – Bohemian_Groove – Laid-back floating chillout beats
Alienapia – Goapocalipsis – Magnetic goa-trance rendez-vous
VA Completely Crooked – Twisty energetic cyberdelica from Free Radical crew
EvsY – Evsylocybin – Another pupming’ FunDaMental gamez by the quirky suomi dudez
Sergio Walgood – Chill in Tribe – Exotic Ambient/ Downbeat/ Tribal/ Ethnic psychedelic fusion
Added a few recently: Kino Oko, Motion Drive, Slackbaba, Spektre, and V/A – Bestiary.
I don’t understand why Alienapia is getting no love on this list.
Easily beats all the others on the list so far.

Now you have no excuse :D
thankx lot off.great work ……………
Galaxy-Everlasting Tone
This release should be strongly considered as an inclusion to the 2010 list. We all know (hopefully) how much of a masterpiece Science of Ecstasy was to the downtempo genre, and this follow up does not disappoint. From start to finish this release is some of the most beautiful music I’ve ever listened to. I just wish Boris Blenn came out with new Galaxy releases a little more frequent than his 5-6 year trend……
+1, great album.
Added Alienapia, Freaks United, and Squarefeet.
VA Audiogenic Forces – Latest Sanatonic installement
Etnoscope – Way over deadline – Progressive tribal trance at it’s best
Psykovsky – Tanetsveta – Emotionaly-psychotic-brainstorming skazka
VA Culture Vulture – Vertigo in Glowing Flame morning clothes :)
“Antix – Cavalier” got the right idea, entering the techno house trance fusion.
Added Antix, Prometheus, Psykovsky, and a bunch of free releases that are holding up very well.
No love for Galaxy Basilisk?
Dont Forget
Hi Profile – Plugged !!
i would add Merkaba – Awaken (zenon records) to this list..
EniCHkin-Guide to Musical Dimensions of Space and Time
Went through all the lists and it’s a very good run down of whats what with all things trippy and psychedelic, was looking to see if you had either of the Quirk (Tim Healey and Mark Allen) albums (released on Matsuri) not sure the years, but in the UK these albums were massive. They are also important as they stand the test of time, especially the 2nd album Quality Control. Quite groundbreaking really. Also The Orb feaure no where on any charts, this again pushed things in the UK without this sound and style of doing things (Paterson, Youth, Hillage et al) things would have been very different, Eat Static, FSOL, Orbital, Union Jack,System 7 were all the same era can’t have one wiyhout the other. U.F.Orb is classic, people like Simon Posford and OTT started with Youth and the Orb Et Al.
i am very happy to see androcell is back again
Still no 2011 list basilisk????
Well when the 2011 selections come out (if they ever do) I hope to see phutureprimitives album kinetik on there. It’s one of the most exciting things to happen to psychedelic electronic music in years.
Suggestions for 2011:
Yudhisthira – Sine Qua Non – Pure liquid saikedelik journey
VA Laboratorium – Tasty, careful selection of nightpsy bangers
Portamento – The Portal – Cronomi’s psy-goatrance vision!
Silent Horror – Seance – Jigar’s last seance in his own unique darkish manner..
Archaic – Sonic Driving – Hypnotic, groove and driving beats perfected for dusty and sonic dancefloors
VA Mind Rewind / DAT Mafia Recordings – Saikedelik-goatrance oldies brought to light!
Tryambaka – Replenishing Roots – Portuguese twilight maestro in a massive remix thread
VA The Oldest Story – Deep, goadelik and long forgotten forest rituals
Ianuaria – Beware of the Fish – Magical, dynamic and mysty detailed psytrance story
Sulima – On Mars EP – Mindbending russian twilight session
Talpa – The Path – Third installement from a artistic saikedelik mind, voyage into Talpania
Drumatik – Space Invader – Nice combination of night cyberdelica with athmospheric backrounds
