VA - Goa Meditation Vol 1 is stunning, I love the goa chill vibes. Tavi and Sky Technology's tracks stood out the most to me.

 

VA - Starseed is nice and chill psybient with some big names.

 

Numatica - groovy psydub

 

E-Mantra's Somnium - I know it's goa trance but I listed it for the last Into The Blue track, which is chillgressive. An impressive EP overall though.

 

Charlie Roscoe is Jairamji of Dakini Records fame, this album is very relaxing lush ambient, as is the Jacob Newman album.

 

Kettel might not belong here, I did label it with an IDM tag, but c'mon it's Kettel he's a legend, and this album stays true to his style.

I changed the results for last week's poll section to show the total number of votes for each release. These are the sum of the votes from this poll plus the identical poll that I make for the Psybient subreddit, so together the two sites can help find the best releases of the week.

would be good to unify poll results from forum and in the website psybient.org.

will work on this in september.

Biospherica by Jacob Newman is awesome!

This kind of ambient takes be back to when i got in touch with the psy-scene, many years ago

Solid floating!

Am I supposed to vote on who I think is best today, or who I think has been the best through all these years, who is the best on most albums, etc?

Because my answer very much depends on that.

Vote for one or more of these listed releases only based on how they strike you today. Just because you've loved an artist's work in the past, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll love their latest release and so they might not deserve a vote.

 

Again, in these polls we only focus on the new releases listed here in each of these polls and should listen to them with new ears/a blank slate before deciding which releases to vote on.
