What the F*** does progressive mean?

Can any of you guys explain what progressive is to me, because I have been given like three definitions and they are all different. I've even heard that there is no such thing as progressive, it's just looks like a fancy way of explaining a specific genre or some s*** like that.

WTF ? It took me less than a minute to find the thread. Are you that dumb ? Search for yourself.

Posted by Liquid Fusion on Sep-17-2007 03:43:

maybe im incompetent. All I know is, is that i couldn't find it. Thanks for helping.

what bs.

Click Search ---> type "progressive" under "Search for items including these words:" ----> choose "Music Discussion" under "Search Forum..." then click "perform search". Start looking at the thread titles. Go to page 2.

The thread title spells "progressive" as "progressice", so, if you searched titles only, which seems like an entirely logical thing to do, you wouldn't find it.

too bad thats impossible because that thread the "progressive" was spelled "progressice", so if you were to search "progressive", that thread wouldn't even show up in the search results yet you somehow managed to find it in less than a minute by typing in "progressive".

I find it completely ridiculous, yet humorous, that people were so quick to give this guy a hard time about searching for the thread when the thread that they were referring to was spelled incorrectly. Why not just help the guy out instead of being such fucking assholes about it?

thanks for your help guys. I really appreciate it

i hate to post this yet again, but it's music inspired by the John Bunyan's "pilgrim's progress"

quote:
Pilgrim's Progress is an allegory of a Christian's journey (here represented by a character called 'Christian') from the "City of Destruction" to the "Celestial City". Along the way he visits such locations as the Slough of Despond, Vanity Fair, the Doubting Castle, and the Valley of the Shadow of Death.

Bunyan, the author, had very little formal education and a humble background. Nonetheless Pilgrim's Progress is considered one of the masterpieces of English literature, and is required reading for Christians who are on the spritual path in a world of temptations.

originally called Pilgrim Progressive, the original producers were anglicans who were inspired by the lutheran trance coming out of germany, and calvinist trance out of switzerland

What sort of bullshit is this ? I searched for "progressive" in MD and on the second page, I found the incorrectly spelled thread. But I used my brain a fraction bit more and realized that this must be the thread he wants. It seems to me that you guys either don't have or don't want to use common sense. Fucking learn to use your brains if you have any. And encourage others to use it also. Thanks.

"John Bunyan (November 28, 1628 � August 31, 1688), a Christian writer and preacher, was born at Harrowden (one mile south-east of Bedford), in the Parish of Elstow, England."

if you are guiding yourself through beatport samples, bad idea.

There are two definitions as I see it:

1) forward-thinking or cutting edge; generally associated with a more intelligent approach to an existing style.

2) gradually building; featuring a more subtle arrangement that slowly progresses; the anti-thesis of instant gratification in dance music.

Usually the trend is for any style fitting into the first category to eventually slide into the second before leading to an endless supply of dull derivative material.
