Look folks, we need to realize that trance doesn't live in a bubble. Prog influences trance. House influences trance. Techno influence trance. And in return, trance influences these genres back. To say "this is tranceaddict, not progaddict or house addict" ignores where trance comes from, and where it's going.

It's one thing not to listen to these genres because you don't enjoy them. Fine, I can deal with that. But to ignore them (and others!) is what leads to this homoginization that you folks are calling "McProg" or "American Progressive". Like it or not, this is all we're going to hear unless we start listening to other things.

Ultimately, this music reminds me of an aspen forest. Yes, it has the beauty intrinsic to a forest. It is something to be enjoyed, spun by djs and danced to. But when you look deep down, you find that each of those trees has the same dna, same genetic structure (since aspens breed asexually). We need new material, new influences, and new ideas.

So folks, if you have a favorite radio show available ont eh internet, lets hear about it. Start a thread (one with links here in the MD, one with a tracklist in the TR forum) about it, and lets hear what the rest of us are listening to. Trance, Prog, House, Techno, whatever. Heck, I'll look around, and try and find one to post about as well.

Good luck all, and remember, we're all on the same side here. Happy Holidays.

the problem isnt the music. its the people that only like the music because so and so played it on their radio show. im sure you could look in todays ASOT thread, and there are probably a 100 omfg posts, over stuff that isn't that great. then these people post about it in md, or even worse new releases OMFG 10/10 on asot today...

just go look at the first 20-30 posts

May i ask a question?

What genre would you put
Paris & Healy - "Blue"

I thought this song waws very good and different from what i usually listen to. If i was to branch out and listen to something else it would be in this category.

Alright then, would it make you prog heads happy if we just didn't call it Progressive anymore?

Shit, it's just music. I don't see people on here creating new threads just to say "OMG I HATE HIPHOP!!!!!1111". So what is the difference with this? If you don't like it, you don't need to make a post about it. Just DON'T FUCKING LISTEN TO IT. Seriously, TA is getting more retarded with every passing day.

negative. progressive has awesome rolling basslines, crazy effects, very nice percussion, no set in stone buildup or arrangement of where the breaks are, nice melodies, etc etc. not bland at all.

off topic of the thread but...

you should check out "Wonder" best track of the summer imo, also check out "Snowblind".. it comes with a hot house mix by spincycle

damn, i completely agree. this imo has to be my top track for 2004. so many details to the sound. great bassline, awesome melodies. its just great.

this thread has to end somewhere

Posted by mndeg on Dec-25-2004 00:41:

real progressive to me is very very repetitious with minimal melody like lemon 8 productions, its interesting but I'd rather listen to something else
