Any plans to add genres to the remaining songs? BTW, can you suggest any good ambient breaks kind of songs?

sljiva01/16/2008

Well I had a plan to add a genre to every track and maybe even a short description, but the compiling of this list took longer than I expected, and I couldn't wait to finish it so I left it this way. But I'll add them when I find some time (probably for weekend).

If you want good ambient breaks (and downtempo in general) get Kuba's album Through A Lense. It's on my album list and it's really awesome. Also, Long Range's album is good, although it's not pure ambient breaks.
Here are some prog. breaks (similar style) tracks from the list:
Elite Force - You (Hybrid Mix)
Lostep - Villain (Original Mix)
Pole Folder - Babylon Days (Royal Sapien Vox Mix)
The Scrubz - That Feeling (Royal Sapien Remix)
and some that are not on the list:
Coldfish - Cycles
Eelke Kleijn - Attack Of The Synthesizer Orchestra
Junk Science - Troll (Sean McClellan Breaks Remix)
Paradise Rockers - One Thing (Original Mix)
Rasti Tkac - Sparkling Inspiration (Rasti's Edanna Mix)

BTW, this was not the best year for this kind of music...

Merlin01/16/2008

Yeah, you're right, but I got some such tracks off your 2006 version of this list and I really liked 'em. That's why I asked for your suggestions. Much appreciated! Thanks a lot!

"BTW, this was not the best year for this kind of music..."
Agreed, although I think prog hasn't been good for a while. For me, dance this year was all about the minimal deep house and trance-inflected minimal. They seemed to do no wrong whatsoever this year - actually, just minimal in general was really good. And dubstep appears to now be a style that can be taken seriously - which is truly surprising, considering its distant roots in speed garage (a style so bad that I didn't believe it could ever be made listenable. I was wrong.). Plus I still like electro-house, even though it's lost a lot of steam, I think.

I love how "minimal" has now become a melting pot of odd fusions and hybrids between styles. The only thing that seems to hold it all together is the sense of restraint and the willingness to make beats that don't overwhelm the whole track. It's the best thing that's happened to electronic dance music since rave.
