progressive or uplifting

im generalising here, but as we know there seems to be much more progressive stuff coming out than ever b4. so lets have a debate. do you prefer uplifting or progressive trance?

i prefer uplifting trance because they show well constructed songs, and generally lead to euphoric climaxes and great listening music. i dont really dislike progressive music but i feel it is far to monotonous (spell check?). plus i just love gouryella and dumonde style uplifting tunes.

i like uplifting alot more than progressive, i guess i like the energy and climaxes. but on rare occasions i can get into prog, when i'm tired i like chillout and prog. i find prog a bit boring most of the time tho, i guess i just dont have the ear for it. but you better get used to it cos i think we'll be hearing alot more

why produce progressive when the people want uplifting?

Posted by Ayianapa on Sep-23-2001 20:34:

I guess you produce the music you like (at least that is what it should be). If you like prog you produce prog and visa versa.

Personally I like both progressive and uplifting, but I think I still prefer uplifting.

uplifting

The answer is BOTH.

I prefer both, so I buy both, and I spin both.

And I never have a problem.

Consider me Digweed/Armin/Klinenberg/Tiesto/Timo Mass all rolled into one

Uplifting all the way. I dunno I havent really gotten into Progressive too much. I listen to it from time to time just to chill to, but I am a sucker for the euphoric breakdowns and just cant get enough of uplifting sets and tracks

because I already set up a poll on this two months ago, in the "Polls" section.
I think that something like 85% of people on this site prefer uplifting.

Argh! Both. I don't see why it has to be a competition between the two when they compliment each other so perfectly! Look at Tiesto's Essensial Mix for instance.

I think uplifting will always be more popular though, as in my opinion it's more suited to a club (in terms of dancing & atmosphere). But if I ruled the world, every uplifting set would begin with a bit of prog.

I like both uplifting and progressive, but if I would HAVE TO choose, i'd go for uplifting.

i prefer uplifting but some prog can be sweet aswell..

but yeah uplifting rocks ma world

although I like both, I mainly prefer uplifting. The reason being: it takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions and makes you 'feel good'(IMO)....it's just a wonderful feeling

Posted by Shudder on Sep-24-2001 02:19:

both man

but i prefer progressive

i guess sometimes it depends what mood im in

cause now im listening to Amara-pulse which i would say is uplifting

i have a weird mind lets just put it that way

I really, really, really, LOVE uplifting!!! However, have you noticed that uplifting trance is filtering into the mainstream clubs and stuff? That is sweet to a point, because you want everyone to know how great it is, but one of the things that I dig so much about this scene is the whole "underground" feel. Although I much prefer uplifting, I am starting to get into progressive a lot more, just b/c it isn't the cool new thing.

what a tough choice.. hehehe

oh man...

i guess it depends on the mood and the Dj...
I could listen to both styles.. but to answer your question.. i'd pick uplifting...

dawm it! urghhhh!
