Going back to the beginning of trance: progressive house?

Am I the only one feeling trance has become very generic and meaningless nowadays (even progressive trance which I used to love not too long time ago)?

I started a radio show a couple of years ago (Salt & Vinegar, on www.sense.fm) focusing mainly on progressive trance. I had more or less stopped listening to uplifting trance by then, didn't really enjoy it anymore. However, I still felt something was wrong.

I had a nasty accident during a mountainbike training ride where I broke my back, which forced me to take a break and a serious round of thinking. I'm not saying this has anything to do with how my radio show progressed, but maybe it did speed up the process.

Anyway, I moved more and more towards progressive house and started to get the same feeling as when I started listening to trance back in 1999.

Maybe I should specify the kind of progressive house I'm talking about since Beatport is doing a great job of adding confusion to the term "progressive house". Here's the latest episode of my radio show featuring the type of progressive house I'm talking about : http://soundcloud.com/the-marsbar/t...alt-vinegar-026

I am just curious. Anyone else feeling the same? Maybe it's a result of Armada taking control over everything?

Can you please explain to me what you mean by this? What is "something" supposed to mean?

Nah, never mind. I've just seen too much threads like these.

If there's something that you or someone else doesn't like in the scene of music that you're talking about I think it's better take some action and not complain or worry about it in an internet forum.

Just to avoid confusion. I have never declared (uplifting) trance dead. And I never will. I am just expressing my thoughts as they have developed over the last couple of years. If there's been any other threads, please direct me to them as I wasn't able to find them.

What have they taken control of, exactly?

I think what he means is that people have been saying this for a long time...
