Well, it's stupid because ALL TRANCE* has 10 minute tracks and minute progressions. That's why it's TRANCE. What's your next proof, that they both have a 4/4 kick?

I already explained earlier in this thread why you're wrong.

But since you need some sort of audio clue, here's a tip:

In 1992, when progressive house emerged, it sounded like this:



In 1994, when progressive trance emerged, it sounded like this:


You're putting up an awful lot of fight now for the existence of a genre that you earlier in the thread said didn't exist. If you want to say one is a direct antecedent of the other, go right ahead. History doesn't agree with you.

I am only interested in facts. If you say something that is wrong, I'm going to call you out on it.

Your fault for dragging me back here. Don't fucking do it again.

No need to prove anything to him. He already made himself look like a clown when he said that Life on Mars sounded like hardtrance LOL

listen to it again nigga



obviously this doesn't sound like a shokk or alphazone track, but that's because early hard trance sounded different. I don't give a fuck what anyone says - this sounds like some bootleg hard trance labeled as progressive trance.

and LMAO @ THE ANTICLIMAX AT 4:36. evolution made some stompers but they also made some shitty tracks.

Matt, if anyone has been trolled into this thread, it's you. You're constantly smashing a genre with little thought to the relevance of your criticism. Even if your thesis was proven true, it will never, ever be as important as you seem to think it is. As it stands, the only thing you've done is created an artificial controversy where none would have existed, before.

I wasn't lying when I made this thread. I'm a 22 year old korean chump and former ban who's been on this site since 2003. don't be mad at me that TA's back in 2003 were saying progressive trance didn't exist. I made this thread solely on their case. it's easy to ridicule them when they existed 8 years ago.

You are arguing over the historical record concerning a genre, then, for a reason nested entirely in bullshit.

I have to admit, for a 1994 track that caspar pound remix does sound like progressive trance.
I'm not a system j dickrider whatsoever but tell me why he says epic house is a subgenre of progressive house that bridged the gap between progressive house and progressive trance?

Yes, it sounded like this:






Which sounds nothing like Life on Mars

Probably because he's right, but not unconditionally.

Epic house is a pet genre of Jack's, inspired by his love of two mid 90s progressive house albums that are similar in mood, theme and content: BT - Ima and Blue Amazon - The Javelin. I like these albums too.

He has gone forth and through studious research, retconned several other tracks, artists and labels under this umbrella (most of them from Sasha & Digweed mixes), championing the genre through sheer persistence. While I am fairly ambivalent toward his efforts, I won't deny that within this makeshift genre one can find ample influences of both progressive house and progressive trance since all three were wholly owned subsidiaries of British club & rave culture at the time and most certainly influenced each other.

This does not imply, however, that one came from the other as you asserted. Except "epic house" coming from both (but mostly progressive house). All three would be annihilated by the prog and anthem scene within a year anyway.
