Didn't expect much of those, but they're both crap and I hate them both. Good suggestions btw.

The_Chris hit the nail on the head with the worst release of 2005,
Tracking Treasure Down by Gabriel & Dresden is an absolute disgrace to Trance music, it sounds like some corny british pop rivaling the spice girls for it's cheesyness.
My favorite track so far of 2005 is one of 2 songs. Like A Waterfall by Solarstone feat Jes, or S.O.S. (festival re-edit) by Armin Van Buuren.

Peace out y'all...

Reasons eh?


1) Alpha 606 - Domino

It's everything man. IT'S EVERYTHING. The claps, the bass, the bongos, the percs, the drum programming. THIS TRACK IS THE FUNKY GROOOOOOVE BABY! Listening to this track is like eating a ham. A sweet sweet ham.


2) MAS 2008 - Electric Twilight

It's everything man. IT'S EVERYTHING. The bass (esp on Synthetic Lights), the percs, hi-hats, the VOCODERS (esp on Boy From The Other Side), the drum programming (esp on Monochrome). The funky basslines (esp on Lifeform). Every track is like a hearty slice of Electro pumpkin pie being shoved down my asshole on Christmas EEEEEEEEVE MOTHER******RRRRRRR!!!!!! TO THE EXTREEEEEEME!


3) I dunno because I don't remember bad tracks, but it was probably by Ferry Corsten

I'll name the good, because I don't have the heart for the bad.

1) Chemical Brothers - Galvanize

This has it all. It's a big-room banger that has lots of mainstream appeal, which is what the Chems have always done well. After their last album did poorly, they really needed a strong come-back single, and this was absolutely superb.

2) Pendulum - Slam

The whole album was good, but this was especially notable. A brilliantly rambling intro leaves you wondering what's going to happen, and the orchestral hip-hop part alone is genius. When it drops, this is awesome: huge riffs, scorching basslines and the right amount of drama and daftness.

3) Tilt - Twelve

Okay, trance may be a bit shit at the moment, but to totally disprove Ishkur's crackpot theory that it's just nostalgia driving us, there was some great stuff. This was the best, and it's an ace trance record all the way through.
