Progressive trance from 2002-2006

Hi All:

I'm an avid progressive trance lover from 2002-2006 and was heavily into the scene, but unfortunately all of my music was magically erased from my external hard drive. I'd appreciate it if any of you could post your full playlists (text document) on this forum or PM.

The usual styles I'm looking for are:
Markus Schulz (and his neighboring tracks on his GDJB broadcasts)
Ozgur Can
James Holden
Armin (and neighboring tracks from ASOT broadcasts)
Sasha
Ferry Corsten
Tiesto
PvD
Matthew Dekay
Perry O'Neil
Kosmas Epsilon
Andy Moor
Oakenfold

Those are the main names off the top of my head (I'm obviously missing hundreds).

Any help would be appreciated, and thank you in advance!

you deserve to get suplexed

Piss off.

John Digweed and Gabriel & Dresden are missing from that list. And I'm also wondering why you put Tiesto, PvD and Ferry in it.

I also forgot Max Graham and BT, but that's why I'm asking. Also, I liked Oakenfold, Tiesto, and PvD back then but not so much anymore. I'm not sure what is with all of the attitude and criticism--I just want to redo my library which was deleted somehow.

in a lot of ways 2002-2006 was a time that really hurt progressive trance - and its only beginning to recover now imo

I disagree, even though I love the old sasha and digweed era progressive trance sound. I think the genre was starting to repeat itself a bit, and it kinda re-invented itself with andy moor (tilt - world doesn't know), probspot and other similar artist with square pluck soundscapes and huge delay effects.

The only problem was that everyone started doing that exact same style, while simplifying it more and more to the point that it 1) usually just had simple beats + sidechaining deep bass + sidechaining pad + square lead, and 2) riffs that had almost no thought behind them, just the first couple of notes you could come up with, and mask it all behind a shitload of effects.

But little innovation and new direction is never bad, you just gotta keep doing it and not stay on one particular idea and try to milk it to death.

i suppose you may be right and its just the ebb and flow of life - but the sidechained basslines and plucky plink plong melodies got really old really quickly to me. and then it just got milked to the maximum.

anywho yeah - there were a few good tunes released during this time i guess. i still see it as a much weaker time for progressive trance compared to the proceeeding prog trance eras (and the one beginning now) imo.

Examples and links plz!

coldharbour records

of course this is all opinions :-) compared to the stuff from 98-2002 the stuff afterwards of which coldharbor was one of the most popular and prodigious labels lacks creativity

IMO of course

its funny - the older progressive trance really hooked me into this type of music - so i began buying vinyl etc. and almost as soon as i did - the music that i really loved stopped being produced/popular - it was quite frustrating lol.

new stuff? mistique music - go and search that label up on beatport - just a start for you :-)

Yeah I guess the problem was that the new sound of progressive trance was sort of a one trick pony, and most of the producers were trying to recreate a certain sound/style and copy other tracks.

I really don't know what's progressive trance anymore the lines have blurred so much. What this coldharbour / andy moor etc era did was bring the tempos down from melodic trance and mix some house elements in. And since progressive house on the other hand has become a lot more melodic in the past 4 years, it's very difficult to say what's progressive trance and what's just slower melodic trance or progressive house.

I considered progressive trance and progressive house to be one and the same, and by that definition does not include ferry corsten, tiesto, pvd, ect ..

Also, following this definition I don't think it's a 1 trick pony. It matches more of a layers approach.

Here are some of my favorite progressive songs:

Mainline - narcotic
Alex Dolby - psiko garden (sasha re-edit)
Van Bellen - Let Me Take You On A Journey (Nalin Kane Remix)
Nalin & Kane - Open your eyes
solar stone - Day By Day (Red Jerry 'Smack the bigot up' Dub)
Sven Vath - My Name Is Barbarella [Album Version]
Satoshi Tomiie Feat.Kelli Ali - Love in traffic (Dark Path)
Robb & Skinner - Earshot
Pete Lazonby - Sacred Cycles(Quivver Remix)
MUZO B - SHEN(Original Mix)
DJ Tiesto - 643 Love's On Fire (Quiver Instrumental)
Ogenki Clinic - first Light
Pig and Dan - Panama

tons more ..

Mistiquemusic. Please recommend me something else. That's the only label people recommend when talking about older style progressive trance/progressive house and so far I haven't heard a single tune from them that would fit the description IMO. I haven't heard them all though.

Also if you've got some specific recommendations from Mistiquemusic, I'd like to hear them too. But as a general recommendation I don't think it's very good.

Come on people cant we just post this guy a nicely formatted list of all good prog tracks between 2002 and 2006 so that he can just copy and paste into Kazaa or whatever it is kids use these days?

Jesus fucking christ.......
