As promised, my 5 fave albums of the year. Many quality releases this year, would love to add a few other debutants as well (eg Leon Bolier) but alas only 5 spaces..
5. Sunlounger - Sunny Tales
Amazingly, DJ Shah released Sunny Tales not long after Songbook was released, and both are awesome albums, the balearic flavour is especially evident in the "chill" versions of the albums. Not quite as good as "Another Day in the Terrace" but that would be a very tough thing to top!
4. DJ Shah - Songbook
Debut album of DJ Shah, from the get-go you know this is something special. The way productions should be made.
3. Ronski Speed - Pure Devotion
No one can make uplifing trance tracks quite like him, talented producer finally releases his much awaited debut album, and the result is a stunning awesome work.
2. Andy Duguid - Believe
From the man who could do no wrong in 2008, his debut album is OUT OF THE WORLD. Forget Armin van Buuren and Ocean Lab's albums this year, this IS THE bomb.
And Number One is..
1. Dinka - Temptation
Tasty beats, original rhythms, fundamentally progressive based with tasty flavours of disco and trance. Every single track on this album is so beautifully crafted. My fave album of the year without a doubt.
Disappointment of the year:
Ocean Lab - Sirens of the Sea
Its not actually a bad album, pretty good in fact, but somehow all the years of anticipation leading to this album which features catchy tracks, though no where near the quality of the first few singles, which incidentally are NOT featured on the album, makes this a let down. Remixes of the tracks are good stuff though!
