The Best-Of’s.

19 September 2007 1 views No Comment

Anyway, now that school related things are finally calming down for a short period of time, and I need something to use with my immense powers of procrastination. Rather than doing my software major, I’m going to write a list of a few noteworthy artists, albums and possibly - though not probably - songs, and perhaps insert a couple of my over-shadowing and obnoxious views into it as well.

Best Albums to Genre:

Hardstyle: Generation Hardstyle Volume 1 - Probably the most notable of ‘oldschool’ hardstyle albums, as it contains - to me - the classics of hardstyle. Reverse basslines-a-plenty.
Hardcore: Godspeed 2005 - Contains a number of pretty nifty tracks. Combination of hardstyle and hardcore.
Chillout: Nova Natura 2 - An amazing blend of pure awesome. Easily the best chillout album I’ve ever heard.
Big Beat: Vegas - An oldy but a goody. All of Crystal Method’s best stuff shoved into one album.
Dance: Ministry of Sound - Mashed II - Madloads of tracks that are becoming popular now, 2 years after it’s release.

Moe Side Note: I hate it when people tell me to download a song they just found out about it, but I found it two years ago. This happens with most dance songs.

Drum & Bass: Hold Your Colour - The best drum and bass? Aussie, apparently.
Easy Listening: Classics - According to iTunes, the album that contains the world famous ‘Symphonies of Steel’, is easy listening. Hunt down this track, and find out how easy it is to listen to.
Electronic: Music Has the Right to Children - A very broad genre, but iTunes classifies this brilliant album as Electronic, so it takes the cake.
Game Soundtrack: Halo 2 OST - The official Halo 2 soundtrack. Classy classical with nice drum elements.
Hip-Hop: Left Foot, Right Foot - Aussie hip-hop. Awesome. I hate rap, but I love this.
IDM: Cloud Control - Madness IDM. Actually good IDM, unlike Aphex Twin.
Trance: Sensation White 2005 - Sensation White before it turned gay and electro.
