Minimal made it onto my list too. I guess I got sucked into the bandwagon

i totally dig the minimal too. there is definitely some that is better than other, but the good stuff is really great imo. check out
http://www.deepmix.ru - they stream great minimal about half of their airtime.
one of my favorite tracks from 2006 was Heart by Paul Woolford (not to be confused with the flipside). i also really liked:
'the freaks come out' by cevin fisher (haji and emanuel remix).
'Turn the Volume up' (ftp vip mix) by Si Begg
'funkshion' by silver city
'megamaid' by sero
those are tracks that are in my box (a pretty diverse bunch, i might add). im sure there are others that i really liked, but dont have resources or time to find their names
edit, just realized funkshion is from 2005
