I know, yet another one of these threads where we argue over what is and isn't the best ____________ of 2005. This time I say we cover albums, both artist and mix.

Pole Folder - Zero Gold
Dousk - D.I.Y
Pendulum - Hold Your Colour
Sasha - Fundacion
James Zabiela - Utilities
Desyn Masiello - Balance 008
John Digweed - Fabric 20
Steve Lawler - Lights Out 3
Ferry Corsten - Creamfields 2005

that about does it for me. I think it's weird that I only really liked one trance album this year even though I still do like trance. I guess it's just been a bad year for trance albums unless there's some I haven't heard (which I'm sure there are) that are outstanding.

1. Dousk - DIY
2. Space Manoeuvres - OID
3. White Label Republic

Some honorable mentions go to

Richie Hawtin: De9 Transitions

I can't really get into Hawtin even though I've tried. It's a bit too minimal and subtle for me. Still, I can respect the album, the thought put into it, and the mixing.

James Zabiela FOUR.2

I'm not quite sure whether or not this was really an album or a release of four sets as I don't think there was an official album epithet tagged to it. Still, it was damn good. Especially Zero Rendered

Pendulum - Hold Your Colour
Chemical Brothers - Push The Button

Were the two I'll be listening to for a long time yet.
