The Aythar release is nice.

 

I really enjoyed Jim Ottaway's Timeless e-Motion.

 

Mindshpere VA is top notch for me.

[schofield 52]

I don't usually split my vote between two releases, but with the Wildlight remix album and Giyo's latest album, I have to.  Both a stellar and, in the case of Giyo, long awaited.

[timeisart 170]

That E-Mantra EP wow. I was not expecting to hear a drum and bass track from him (Oblivion), but it kicks ass.

Nice to see two releases from Ultimae Records this week. I loved James Murray's debut album so hopefully this one is as good. Martin Nonstatic's Granite was a great album so I'm sure the remixes will be too.

Also looking forward to hearing Hadron Orchestra & Zero Cult

[Gagarin Project 400]

glad to see Cord - Suburb Tales in the last week winners, gave my vote here now is time for E-mantra degustation.

[Fuluf 37]

Zero Cult and E-Mantra will get my vote.

[floyd2.0 113]

Beatroots: great psybass muzic

Wildlight: all them tracks are sunshine to me

[Fuluf 37]

O, that Aes Static remix of Granite is an absolute bliss as well.

[timeisart 170]

You all might be wondering why I listed the PsySutra release as it's mostly goa trance/psytrance, but check out track 3: Artha - Insidelamp (PsySutra Remix), it's awesome goachill/psybient.

[Fuluf 37]

The fourth track is deep trance or whatnot as well.

[Rakoontay 2]

Ascendant, E-Mantra, James Murray, Koan. All good stuff this week but I really enjoy those the best.

Why was the Ascendant album listed? Great album but it was originally released in 2014.

This is supposedly remastered for Synphaera Records so it sounds slightly different than the 2014 release. You can't tell here but I've got it listed as a remastered album in the 2016 release table. Personally I'm not a fan of listing remastered albums but a few people were complaining about the Carbon Based Lifeforms remasters not being listed last year so I figured I'd start listing them.. same goes for that AstroPilot release in this poll too.

Oh, OK, thanks. I wonder what the reason for the complaint was. It's justified if people want the remaster to be brought to their attention, but I don't think it's fair for classic albums to be put in the same list as fresh releases unless there's bonus material.

[yiannis 201]

Having a listen to Zero Cult's Closer than Ever and liking it a lot. I must say that his only album I didn't like was Pop Insanity, he's never let me down aside from that.

 

Early Cosmicleaf releases were pure gold in my book.

[yiannis 201]

The MIndsphere compilation is pretty nice and varied.
