Did you guys enjoy Imogen Heap's new album?

I was going to vote for Basshunter's LOL <(^^,)>, but I'm going to take your word for it and vote for Risto

Definitely BT's "This Binary Universe", which has been mentioned. I also am intrigued by Trentmoller's "Last Resort". Not a huge fan of minimal, but it's approaching more ambient and downtempo territory, and I am a into ambient/downtempo. But for a melodic, compositional record, I think "This Binary Universe" stands out as being stellar and quite creative..original.

Trentemoller - The Last Resort
Booka Shade - Movements
William Orbit - Hello Waveforms

Another vote for TBU.

Blue Sky Black Death - A Heap of Broken Images
Blue Sky Black Death presents: The Holocaust - The Holocaust
Ellen Allien & Apparat - Orchestra of Bubbles
The Prize Fighter Inferno - My Brother's Blood Machine
Se�or Coconut And His Orchestra - Yellow Fever! (if you enjoy latin beats)
I'm Not A Gun - We Think As Instruments

Most original: Moshic - Salamat

Most complete: Terry Lee Brown Jr. - Karambolage

Most overrated: Trentemoller - The Last Resort

...Seriously, what am I missing with Trentemoller's album? I really don't think it is as revolutionary as everyone here makes it out to be and I have yet to be impressed with it. Maybe if it were more like his EP on Naked Music instead of cookie-cutter minimal, I'd think different, but there's just something lacking to it IMO.

Moshic's album kills Trentemoller's. Just the tone and realism of the tracks alone make Salamat original cause that sound is not something you generally hear pushed at all.

BT Binary Universe - nice concept and totally enveloping.
Away from EDM, have to say Kasabian - Empire.

Speaking of albums, looking fwd. to Katana's album next year.
It should surely include some of his newer productions as well as some of the earlier stuff w/ Mark Norman. Can't wait.

Gabriel & Dresden - Tracking Treasure Down [ 2006 Release ]
Trentemoller - The Last Resort
For a mix - ISOS 5 ( Specialy CD 2 )

cyantific - ghetto blaster
craggz and parrelell forces - northern soul
burial - burial
trentemoller - the last resort
cold cut - sound mirrors
alex smoke - paradolia

I have to say Steve Roach - "Proof Positive" is one of the albums that stand out the most for me this year. Truly awesome rhythmic/sequenced ambient, hypnotic and driving yet relaxing at the same time. One of my personal favourites among "modern" Roach albums.

i thought this binary universe was pretty good this year, really enjoyed that

Originally posted by Aristronica I agree with some dude above, Trentemoller came out of nowhere.

Actually he's been releasing pretty quality tunes for a few years now, although this year was undoubtedly his year of recognition. "Le Champagne" for example, which became a hit amongst the deep house crowd this year, was released over 3 years ago. His ever popular remix of "Du What You Du" has been around for a couple of years as well. Come to think of it, he's released more productions of consistent quality over the past few years than a lot of the producers out there. In fact, seeing as how his older productions have gained & regained popularity and are still played out, dare I say he is/was ahead of his time?

anything containing the track "Tracking Treasure Down" deserves to be nowhere but MILES from any list containing top albums of the year.

As far as just sheer originality and creativeness, it's definitely BT - This Binary Universe. This should even go without saying. Math music has been done before, but not on a microscopic scale.

If you're going to stay in the realm of dance music, I'd probably say Vibrasphere - Archipeligo, although I haven't liked what I've heard of it so far.
