Hi everybdy!

This was actually a thought that crossed me this afternoon and thought of taking some expert opinion from all you and a general discussion too.

Its like last year, we saw the release of some amazing tracks like Nyctalopia, Shapes, 11 days, Amnesia, Platitude, Destination 6 just to name a few and the list goes on .....
Even the vocals like Who will find me, Falling and Runaway were hits ( not reminding you of Big Sky though )

Do you think that this year there were lesser number of massive releases so far.

The vocals, are they characterized by whining cries, may be howling, screaming or ofter sound like purring cats?

Are the "choons" of this year more proggy as against trancy from last year?

How about listing down a few of your favourite tracks for this year, so far, and to continue till year end?
 
Generally, I think that 2008 > 2007...

imo the year 2007 was much better for me.

uplifting tracks had a more fresh sound to them as opposed to this year.

however, the proggy, techy, psy, hard trance and hard dance choons for this year were quite nice :)

the vocals were a bit on the so-so side for this year. (50% bad, 50% good)
