In a year that started with Luke Chable the all conquering hero hailing the renaissance of breakbeat and finished with him almost the forgotten man. The distinctive crossover sounds of Fanciulli rise ever to the fore as the elctro tinged, funky prog sound seems to encompass the sound of the moment.

Name your top 5 or 10 tunes of 2004

in no particular order

1. Guy Gerber - Stoppage Time great stuff, memories of a heavy night @ Sasha Sankeys this August

2. Invisible Inc. - Stars Massive trippy intro tune for Sasha in the first half of the year

3. Felix Da Housecat - Watching Cars go by Sasha Remix Disliked this on first listening, now cant get it out of my head

4. Lostep - Burma Great melodic downtempo breakbeat

5. FERRER & SYDENHAM - Sandcastles promo copies were around a year ago had plays from Digweed, Pappa recently ...the most underrated track this year

Re: The Best Tracks of 2004

Top 5 2004 Vinyl Kosmas Epsilon and Zorz - Sweet Harmony (White): This Kosmas Epsilon kid is phenomenal, absoultely gorgeous peaktime track. Panopticon - Revealing the Door (Audiotherapy): Great layered melodic progressive, with an excellent DJ tool... Kosmas Epsilon - All is Heaven EP (Deep): Snorkel is a Kosmas chooner, while All is Heaven ambient reprise is another great DJ tool... Chris Micali - So Easy/Your Life Better (Vapour): Two extremely danceable peaktime tracks. Mick Burns - Into Nothing (Bill Hamel Remix) (Saw): Incredibly infectious bassline plus spacey background effects and synths = another superior Hamel work.

Btw, wanna add Luke Chable - After the storm to my list ...

ty tek feat cat conger- killing me (rhythm code remix) tori amos - don't make me come to vegas (timo maas remix a-side) deux - sun rising up Dub Pistols - Problem Is (John Creamer & Stephane K Mix) PQM - nameless (chab remix 1) Sandy Rivera - Dreams (Chus & Ceballos Iberican Dreamscape mix) Loco Dice - Phat Dope Shit (Saeed's Shitbase Mix)

Undisputed champ of 2004 was without question Derek Howell - Come Again. That song makes me want to go out and beat up a little girl. DAMMIT is it a pissed off song. I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Best Tracks of 2004

No one mentioned Pig & Dan, who produced a number of great records in 2004. Overall. I think these producers were the best in the progressive genre, there were alot of great classic songs to come out, but these guys were awesome releasing quality ep after ep... :!:
