2009 has been an interesting year for psytrance. With the rise of digital media the album format appears to be on its way out—with mixed results. I have less to recommend because I don’t often suggest EPs (and never single tracks). End result: this list is somewhat underpopulated at the present time. I will work on adding more soon…

Merr0w – Born Underwater
Goa Lovers JUST Check this Magic
HI
you need to listen this track!!! Space Buddha – Mental Hotline is at the HD Edition 2 just Full on !!! see u i hope we stay in contact
I think Merr0w album is cool because it is actually goa…
this cd compared to other goa releases (especially made by suntrip, ie opus iridium last year which is a listed
in this selection) is below average..
For those who are hooked to full-on, getting a goa cd is like getting a timed bomb inside the head, hehehehehe
Delirious Noon is like Digicult, but far more sofisticated….Good Sounding, great FX, and a little taste for complexe
melodies which make this my favorite cd this year so far..
I also liked the inly and the bottom of the jewel case
huy huy q buenos materiales m muero de las ganas por escuchar el d psycovsky
Added a few today: Filteria, Atriohm & Encephalopaticys, and Sulima.
Vacuum Stalkers!!!!
Maybe More Full On N Powerful Ones Basilisk :-)
falta el disco de DISCO HOLLIGANS
also would like to mention The Zap! Benji Vaughn and Raja Ram’s new project.
Tron – Biologic
+Terrafractyl – Chrysalis, Terranoise – Cross-dimensional feedback, Secret Vibes – Firefly, VA Hectic Dialect, Entropy – Think Slow move fast, VA Shadow Enuin 2, Arsenic – Arithmetix, Sick Addiction – Demented Diary…
I was totally blown away by that Transwave album!
AFGIN new album out now on SUNTRIP, check it, it like the perfect goa release ever
Aes Dana-leylines look like a best of this year
CPC – Subliminal Messages: http://www.goastore.ch/product_info.php?products_id=3260
Enichkin – In Memory Of Love: http://www.goastore.ch/product_info.php?products_id=3225
still no update?
DISCO HOLLIGANS – Best Tracks I’ve heard this year. Awesome, thanks Basilisk : D : D
manmademans new album children of light….
ukalen is so awsome! my brother isnt to into it because it doesnt have so much hard rises.. but SO ORGANIC! MUSHROOOOM : )
the new aes dana is out if you haven’t heard…
I think I agree with Tron – Biologic
and I also think this list needs
Wi’][‘ch – The Hypersub – awesome, creative darkpsy with class and style
peace
Hey, very neat selection!!!
you can try this one – VA – Water [Altar rec.] http://www.discogs.com/Various-Water/release/1814114 – top quality chillout release :) I hope I can still get legal copy though… it’s ltd ed :(
suggestions: Penta – Give Me Five 2009 & Soulcraft – Zen Spirit 2009
cheers!
I think VA Temple Of One (Glowing Flame Records) should be included on the list above… As always, top notch psychedelia from this label…
Radical Distortion – Psychedelic Dreams
Added a bunch today: CPC, Fragletrollet, Oxya, Principles Of Flight, Radical Distortion, Vishnudata, V/A – Permutations 2, and V/A – Temple Of One.
What about Infected Mushroom – The Legend of the Black Shawarma?
Surely you must be joking.
Can’t see why you found a spot for run-off-the-mill, predictable and boring Fearsome Engine, but failed to mention Cosmosis’ CD…
Also I’d propose to consider: new Sienis, Hedonix, Ozmali, Terrafractyl and Arsenic – most of them are not widely recognised, but that often is the case with brilliant albums, which are not easily accessible and quickly digestible, but instead present more thought-through and mature approach to music.
what about VA Forest Frequencies?
cheers
Union Jack – Pylon Pigs?
I can’t see the newest shpongle album, VA forest frequencies and the Pronton Kinoun Album (hey home made, very well done)
I would add Aquafur – Fuzzy emotions and E-Mantra – Arcana (Previews available at psychop, but I’m not sure if you can buy a PHYSICAL copy yet)
as for the latest IM, it deserves a number 1 in the top 10 most HORRIBLE albums of ALL TIME
(No hard-feelings, great producers look at I’m the supervisors)
Principles Of Flight – Chaos Opera is my favorite so far.
Great selection over here.
Hmmm, I’ve listened to Goa Gil Kali Yuga. There is some insane darkpsy on it that deserves attention.
Sienis – Seriously Unserious is awesome too, should be in this list, rather experimental with an eirie finnish sound, Yggdrasound like style…
Gorump Peyya’s latest album is pretty good.
VA Sun blitz and Va full service by blitz records are more than noteworthy.
I agree with Arsenic as well, unique album.
on second thought i must say that full service is not a standout album.
Pretty skimpy year on CD releases. But despite that I have added more music then ever to my collection. Thanks Ektoplazm.
Intermezzo Extended is just about the best Goa I’ve ever heard. Can anyone point me in a similar direction?
I still have so many releases to go through! Sorry for the long delay in updating this page. I will try and get to it as soon as I can. In the meantime keep those suggestions flowing! I try to get to every one of your recommendations sooner or later.
Pure planet vol 4 out now, looks pretty cool from what i heard (samples)
I’m trying to get a copy,
ooops, it’s 2010, so you can’t put it in here
also, Ace Ventura’s Judo chop EP,
Filteria newest album,
Liquid Flow’s presance (according to some friends here),
Maybe VA-Fire from altar records, but this is a long shot since there is not many fine releases this year,
Good luck
So, where is the 2010 section? :-)
I know it’s early, but my recommendations (for 2010) are:
Wizack Twizack – Space No More – Tommy’s latest mind excursion
Dissociactive – Total Transformation – russian psychedelic stories
VA Freaks United – very powerful space-cyberdelic experience
I just opened the 2010 page but don’t have anything for it yet :)
Added a few more 2009 recommendations: Shpongle, Nasa, Ghreg On Earth, E-Mantra, and the Mechanical Forest compilation. More to come (as always).
Check these excellent releases out too:
Cybernetika’s Atropos (Free download on this site) — Wonderful fusion of DnB & Psy
Silent Enemy’s Diabolic (http://www.discogs.com/Silent-Enemy-Diabolic/release/2042487) — Devilish Dark Psytrance
Oops, above is meant for 2009 ^^
Here are a couple that I found very moving:
Deliriant- Chemistry
Hypnoxock- Synthetic Resurrection
Alienn- Cosmic Matter
Geko- Poison FLowers
Afgin- Astral Experience
Bitkit- Necessary Illusions (didn’t see that coming)
The Commercial Hippies- From Beyond
Cosmosis- Retro 1 & 2
Cybernetika- Atropos
Filteria- Remixes and Unreleaseds
Ovnimoon- Geometric Poetry
Sick Addiction- Demented Diary
Suntree- Inside
VA- Alternative Colours
VA- Archive 9
VA- Artificial Sun
VA- Crimson Underground
VA- Freak The Tune Vol. 2
VA- Nitz-Ho-Goa
That’s what I have been listening to this year. High energy psy and goa and rich progressive.
Gotta say – in the spirit of Evan Marc, Extrawelt and a few others, I need to throw in a vote for
Dusty Kid – A Raver’s Diary
What a great record.
Noteworthy anyhow.
Cheers
@trance2moveu
+1 to Artificial Sun, Nitz-Ho-Goa, Afgin, Geko & Ovnimoon (and I didn’t think I’d be into it either, but that Bitkit was killer!)
