Semi serious, in that I know in hindsight to take McProg etc with a pinch of salt, but I'm not going to sit here and say there wasn't some seriously fucking great music (regardless of how it's dated / at least for the time) etc being pumped out between 2007 - 2009.
Jaytech, Proff, Dinka, Chris Reece Jerome Isma-Ae, Claude Von Stroke, and obviously not forgetting Joel (to his mates) output really ramped up.
Again, I can't comment about Europe as it was right when I moved to the states, but dance music exploded and hearing that progressive bouncy prog, actually in a club was was a fuckton of fun. I can't really take anyone seriously who says it was the dark ages.
In my mind the dark ages were basically 2001 to about 2006 - all the big clubs in the UK shuttered around then with exception to say Fabric and a couple of others, you had some of the most boring prog ever being churned out, only to be complemented with minimal which get ever more, er, minimal and both scenes pretty much died a quick and barren death.
