-- Does progressive trance grow on you?

Yes, prog does grow on you. There will come a time where you grow tired of formulaic trance and that's when you will begin to discover progressive. I found myself getting into ambient at this same time.

I've always said that progressive trance takes a trained ear to understand and enjoy, it's not for those who have just gotten into electronica. Of course there are always those few exceptions.

Ive been listening to it for a few years against my will (at clubs) and i thought it blew ass in 98, and i still think it blows ass in 2003

well, no..it didn't really grow on me. When I started listening to uplifting trance, I had also just started listening to the prog trance stuff..so I've loved prog trance for the same time I've loved uplifting

in my case it grew on me.. used to dislike it at first.. but its much more 'intelligent' than generic trance in the sense that you require a trained ear to appreciate it??
anyhows i like both

I liked it right away. It really depended on what type of progressive trance it was, i really liked christopher lawerance and d fuse.

it was strange when i fell asleep at a rave listening to progressive house. It that time i swear it was the most boring set ever. Progressive house grew on me, but for some reason i liked prog trance right away.

If i would have heard prog house from a good dj, i probably would have loved it right away.

I've been loving it for 2 years now. But psytrance grew on me the first time I heard it.

do genital warts grow on you?

I used to dislike almost all Prog, but I've slowly gained appreciation for it. I still think it's much more suited to the club than simply sitting at home, but to each his own.

i was so into uplifting/hard trance (Dumonde, Cosmic Gate, Flutlicht, old Airscape, etc) that as someone said earlier prog was too slow for me.

now since my tastes have expanded, most of the stuff i listend to before i cant stand now.

Progessive Trance is much more creative, emotional and interesting for me. The emergence of Gabriel & Dresden over the last 2 years has helped as well, as their work was a link between Trance & Prog for me.

Now I am addicted to such acts as Infusion, Sultan & Tone Depth, Harry Lemon, Luke Slater, Steve Porter, Markus Schulz and of course Sasha, Digweed, Max Graham and Gabriel & Dresden.


This is exactly how I feel.

its been growing lately

it took time and i can't say that i'm fully into prog, but i enjoy it more now than like 1-2 years ago


Posted by capricorn15 on Nov-25-2003 23:01:

progressive to me was like an aquired taste. there were at first, very very few progressive tracks that i liked. and then i got introduced to more and liked it and eventually, it turned into me listening to a lot of prog and breaks and less trance. i find it more interesting. not to say trance is bad, but most trance song, i get bored of more quickly now. i guess becasue i was a big trance whore from 98 till about mid 02 when i started listening to breaks. i only really started liking prog around march or april this year. but a lot of people think prog is boring, but the more i listen to it, the more i like it and i dont get bored of the songs either, it is really weird.

G&D and James Holden nudged open the door of progressive to me, but when i saw Sasha live, he blew the door off right off the hinges...

but unlike other progwhores, i still like trance...

It definitely took progressive trance a while to grow on me,
and I don't like all the progressive trance that's out there,
but I will admit that I am starting to like more and more
progressive trance (it was about 5 or 6 months ago when
I first heard of, and listened to, a progressive trance song )
