So, what tunes released in 2008 has been kicking your ass so far?

After somewhat abysmal year last year, I'm looking to get some feedback on trance tunes this year.

So far this year, only tunes that caught my attention is

Sander van Doorn - The Bass (Wardt remix)
-because tech trance is good and this tune is raw and gritty.

Wardt - Show My Shuffle
-I guess something in between tech trance and prog. Wardt I think is SvD's protege or something. This tune has that trancey melody combined with some of the filthiest bassline I've heard in a long time.

U2 - Beautiful Day (Mat Zo remix)
-Beautiful Day is one of my fav U2 tunes and Mat Zo adds some old fashion prog trance dressing to this tune. So far, it has made one dancefloor go crazy in my exp

Ronski Speed pres. RST - Stormbound (Maarten de Jong edit)
-Ok. It's released in Dec but eh. Seems no one really caught onto this gem yet. I dig the harder sound of this edit, and general tech trance feel to this track while keeping the overall trancey feel

Ferry Corsten - Into The Dark
Dmitri Federov - Falling of Stars
Talla 2XLC vs Sean Tyas - Heart To Heart

And my top choice for 2008 so far is:

Ernesto vs. Bastian - Thrill - I have a feeling you would like this Yohan

Just took a listen to the top ten on Beatport's trance chart. Pretty craptacular.

I don't understand why people like this tune... It sounds like cookie cutter pop trance.

Dmitri Federov - Falling of Stars

not bad. heard better

Talla 2XLC vs Sean Tyas - Heart To Heart

Ah yes. I can distinctively hear more Talla than Tyas that wanker in this tune. Solid production

Why must people keep reminding me of bad vocal tunes that I blot out of my memory?

stormbound i have to say is a good track but original is better.

nice tune.

though that scale climb thingy in melody has potential to be annoying after a while

In my opinion the Tyas Remix is far better than the Talla version
