Idea Behold, the secret of prog

I've been listening to lots of prog (trance/house) lately (past 6 months or so) and I have noticed a feature which a large majority of the tracks of this genre have in common:

Echoing vocal samples

Most trance will use vocals in a more standard fashion which more often than not I find annoying. For prog, I think that it adds a whole new positive dimension to the track in addition to magnifying it's dreamlike state inducing properties. But that's just my opinion.

Thoughts?

Yeah man, definitely. Seeing Digweed live at Area 2 this summer turned me into a prog head (as well as a trance master) and I just love a good progressive mix when all I feel like doing is losing myself in the music and doing a lot of head bobbing.

One of the coolest deep melodic progressive tracks is Escape - Salina. It's song #2 on the second disk of Digweed's Bedrock Compilation.

Also, the second Disk of Max Graham's Transport 4 Is just Incredible. It has to be one of the best Prog Mixes Ever, up there with Digweed's Bedrock CD's and Disk 2 of Global Underground Ibiza by Sasha

P.S. - For Tribal Progressive bliss, GU019 - Los Angeles (Digweed )

Yeah man, I remember seeing all you guys there. I saw all you guys squeezing into one small car too I think

Anyways, yeah, I liked Digweed before, but Area 2 gave me a whole new respect for the man. His mixing was SO GOOD; I'm a DJ and I couldn't even tell when he was mixing most of the time.

Tiesto's set was decent, but Digweed just Fuckin OWNED!

I just started to get into progressive and I agree that vocals kick ass in progressive. They make the song sound much darker for me. I find myself liking mostly progressive songs with vocals.

wat i've noticed over the past year is extensive use of 'bells' in alot of the tracks.

James Holden - Norhing
Sasha & James Holden - Bloodlock
King Unique - Sugarhigh
Mavi - Fallen
Yunus Guvenen - Euphrates
Lustral - Everytime (Yunus Remix)

and many more.....hope they don't overuse it.

yes, the vocals have more of an echo to them. It makes them more serene, imo...and like you said, gives the song an added depth especially when the echo is done very creatively. Checkout Kosheen - Hungry (Satoshi Tomiie vocal mix) or Timo Maas - Help Me (Deep Dish attacks mars mix) as well as some of the songs that were already mentioned like Holden's Nothing. Amazing stuff.
