Solo/Original Albums
Well pretty much all the big DJs released solo CD's with original work in past couple of years.
Paul van Dyk with "Reflections" being the newest.
Armin van Buuren with "76"
BT with "Emotional Technology"
Kai Tracid with "Contemplate: The Reason You Exist"
ATB with "Addicted To Music"
Astral Projection with "Amen"
Paul Oakenfold with "Bunkka"
Sasha with "Airdrawndagger"
ATB with "Dedicated"
Kai Tracid with "Trance And Acid"
Tiesto with "In My Memory"
BT with "Movement In Still Life"
BT with "ESCM"
(The above is just a list of the stuff i own/i listen to/ or i heard.)
Just wanted to say that I own all of those albums (besides PvD's new, i have the mp3 rip, but not the actual CD) and that most of them have been a huge disappointment. PvD has 3-4 good tracks on his CD, so i guess he delivered in a decent fashion. "Airdrawndagger" has its moments with "Cloud Cuckoo" and "Wavy Gravy", but then its sorta weak imo. Oakie had some tracks on his "Bunkka" that kept me somewhat interested (Southern Sun, Hypnotised) but the rest of the album was and is a piece of shit. Armin... uhh lets not even talk about Armin. "76" has one of my favorite tunes of 2003 "Wait For You (Song for the ocean)" and... well ... that's it, nothing else good about that album. But now Tiesto, on the other hand, simply had an awesome album. I mean.. FLIGHT 643, SUBURBAN TRAIN, LETHAL INDUSTRY, IN MY MEMORY, OBSESSION, MAGIK JOURNEY, arent they all pretty much classics? If not all, Flight 643 and Suburban Train for sure are. Now to my man Kai. I mean OMFG! Yes i said the cheese line. "Trance and Acid" is one of my favorite albums of all time. Fuck Pink Floyd's "Darkside of the Moon", "T&A" takes me on a better journey. Every song on that CD is so good. Destiny's Path, The Deep Blue, Suicide, Message Without Words, Peyote Song, Trance and Acid .. fuck THE WHOLE ALBUM IS GOOD!!!!! And then his sophmore album "Contemplate (The Reason You Exist)" WOW! Maybe not as good as "T&A" but a sure keeper. Tracks like Far Beyond Your Wildest Imagination, I Don't Want To Live 4 Ever, Drift Deep Into Your Own Thoughts, Express Your Hidden Passion.. AWWWWWWWWWWW! Now to psy/goa, Astral Projection released a good album too. "Amen" is pretty decent with tunes like Infinity Justice, Chaos, Heaven's Gate.. but nothing Mahadeva-like  . BT...uhh BT. Excellent producer, but his newest "Emotional Technology" is nothing special. "ESCM" is of course great. Flaming June is on there!
His "Movement in Still Life" is the insane. I mean.. Dreaming, Mercury and Solace, Godspeed.. all awesome tracks. Yeah and I forgot ATB. "Dedicatd" is a good album with tracks like Let U Go, Hold You, I Wanna Cry, and Dedicated. His new one "Addicted to Music" is not bad either. In Love With The DJ is good and so are I Don't Wanna Stop and Long Way Home. Anyways, the purpose of this thread is to list your favorite original/solo albums. Here is my list.
