I've been spending a lot of time digging through old hard drives and searching Discogs since the lockdown period began in the hopes of either re-experiencing older material or finding older material that I haven't heard. I'm sure I'm not the only geezer doing this (see Rebel9's post on the Oakie EM) so feel free to post stuff that you found in the archives that really left an impact on you. I should note that selections would be most appropriate if they are dated considering theres a very active new releases thread for contemporary music.
12 Moons - Elak Javel YT Link
How I skipped over this when originally discovering 12 moons I'll never know but I'm so happy I decided to play this. This is arguably his most psychedelic track that covers sounds from so many subgenres in that era. This might be a hard listen for non psytrance listeners or people unfamiliar with that era but for those who are, this is a must listen.
Coldcut - Autumn Leaves (Irresistible Force Chill Mix) YT Link
Apparently this track had been an intro/outro favorite for many Prog guys in the mid 90s and even would pop up now and again in the 2000s. Digweed recently played it on one of his bunker sets and it seems perfect for what it tries to achieve.
Croydon Punks ltd.- Dub ok YT link
Re-listened to the 2001 Oliver Lieb essential mix and couldnt help playing back this track. So simple, so groovy, so effective. Grant Dell is behind the production and although I don't find a lot of his other work very notable, this one definetly sticks out for its effective simplicity.

I've always loved since it wa release on the 2AD Waveform Records compilation in 95 or so, but I would have preferred a vocal-free version.

the lead synth always gets me...

Been re-discovering my love for kosmische after pre-ordering the repressing of Coil's "Music To Play In The Dark".
Salegon
Last night when clubbing was possible before the corona restrictions kicked in. The crowd went nuts. I actually didn't enjoy the track that much when I first heard it but in the latest context it grew on me. CamelPhat X Cristoph (Feat. Jem Cooke) - Breathe (Club Mix)
This one I rediscovered during a gaming session when listening to an old playlist. Midtone - Pearl (Original Mix)
Back then I just did a quick search for lesser known remixes of Spooky tracks. Spooky - Belong (Prankster Bootleg Edit)
This track is from an 2012 workout playlist. Banging melodic techno. Diego Hostettler & Absent - She´s Not Worth It (Alexander Kowalski Remix)
yeah! Almost forgot about this beauty. Universal Solution — Delta
Paradox Lost
I guess McProg. I had been meaning for some time to finally compile and pick up all the stuff I loved and explore anything I missed. Since this style is long-dead, there's a sealed-off, finite amount of it available, so it's just a matter of going through old tracklistings at this point.
But generally speaking I've spent the larger portion of COVID branching out into new sounds.
