Progressive Songs w/ good melodies

I pretty much listen to a lot of PvD and Tiesto style trance (like most of you) and am not very familiar w/ anything else.
I don't really know much about progressive or have heard many songs that have impressed me. I find a lot of the songs a bit a dull, but am interested in hearing some sweet sounding progressive that does'nt bore. Here's some songs that kinda give an idea what of I'm looking for:

MrE - The Deep Edge, Red Devil - Gamelan, Jark Prongo - Onix 1, Chimera - Just Wanna Do My Thing, Christan Smith & John Selway - Move!, Layo & Bushwacka - Love Story, Sander Kleineberg - My Lexicon (Cass & Slide mix)

Any help would be great. Thanks! By the way, Going to see PvD in Boston this Thursday!!! Should be amazing. Can't Wait!!!

if you looking for melody, progressive is the wrong genre for you.. progressive is all about rhythm and atmosphere!

but heres a few tracks that i think would interest you:

freefall feat jan johnson - skydive (mara mix)
sander kleinenberg - venus and mars
tarrentella - karma (way out west mix)
subsky - four days (gil remix)

agreed. still, there are plenty of prog tracks with a soothing synth, i.e.:
Cass and Slide - Perception (Vocal Mix)
Sasha - Ohmna (14 minutes of bliss)
James Holden - One For You (essential!)
Cosmos - Take Me With U (stellar, lawler spun it last friday!)
Resistance D - Feel High (my personal fave)
Sander Kleinenberg - My Lexicon

enjoy! also, try listening to some of the Global Underground and NuBreed cds to see what tickles yer fancy...
(by the way, I've always LOVED Mre - The Deep Edge, nice taste!)
cheers

I think your looking for good progressive tracks period.

Posted quite a few on another progressive thread

Try
Mainframe - Blue
Resisstance D - You Were There (Jam & Spoon Light and Laser Remix) <--brain teasing Laser sounds. Might not be exactly progressive...but maybe what your looking.

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what IS that thing?!

Progressive trance with melody is a rare breed, but such an incredible sound! I love stuff like the tracks on this thread.

Here's my contribution:

gus gus - Purple (Sasha vs The Light Mix)
Conjure One-Redemption-(Max Graham Dead Sea Mix)
Just about anything by Cygnus X, most tracks a bit old, but good
libra presents taylor - anomaly calling your name (several mixes retain the progressive feel)
Solar Stone featuring Elizabeth - Speak In Sympathy (Deeper Mix)
three drives - greece 2000
three drives on a vinyl - Sunset In Ibiza (Original Mix)
underworld - cowgirl 2000 (bedrock mix)
luzon - Manila Sunrise

There are a ton of others, more trancy, more progressive. Thanks to others on this thread for their tracks!

I agree with what TeKnoHe@d2025 said - James Holden is best for this.
