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.
