Originally posted by Ory I used to listen to alot of prog (Digweed, Sasha, Cattaneo, to name some DJs), and I can't say that most of the recent stuff is any more inventive than GDJB/ASOT prog. Holden is pretty creative, but I think he's starting to recycle his own sound too.

I do agree with you on that, but what I really was referring to was the progressive sound between 1998-1999ish through about mid-2003. Those years contained some of the best progressive house/trance releases, IMO and it seems like people tend to ignore these years and focus constantly on the recent prog scene, which really pisses me off when people dismiss prog as boring and bland because most likely they haven't heard many of the tracks I've listened to within the above years.

Aside from the McProg ASOT/GDJB tunes, like you, I haven't been all that much impressed with the other progressive releases as of lately. On the contrary, I've found that John Digweed's Kiss100 radio show is the place to look (at least for me) for quality progressive at the moment. Many of the tunes played by Digger's and the guest dj's are decent and worth hearing.

I see what you mean then, and I agree.

Nothing fucks me off more than a fan that thinks a DJ can do no wrong. There is a lot of good music out there. How some people can be so easily pleased is beyond my comprehension.

Well the Twilo era was golden. When Twilo went to ashes, its sound went to ashes. I think the only proggy Twilo-like tune now days is Cabala - Vision of U (Nick Muir Mix). I think Cobalt talked about this issue in one of the threads. I have to say i agree with him.

I always start my sets with progressive trance/house, then it I play upliftting in the middle of the session,and finishing off with hard trance.

I personally can't play progressive all the way of my set, cos there always needs a drive to get the crowd moving .

Originally posted by DJ Intrigue Ah, I see we have another victim of the ASOT/GDJB watered-down progressive crap. It's no wonder people think progressive sucks when you consider these radio shows.

Never listened to either of them as it happens. And you've just demonstrated my point about how prog-fans automatically feel superior to everybody simply because of their chosen genre.

November Demo mix

I have trouble appreciating that kind of noisy harsh skinny puppy style.

I also can't stand the stuff with the breaking glass, nails on chalkboard, clanging and wailing stuff like this 'Dissecting Table' musician makes.

And the styles that are dominated by a sleepy bass lines and dull uninventive percussion, not DnB, not Prog, but that dull dark bassy dirty stuff, the boring kind.

I'm not sure what to call these genres, but they are definately very widely established styles of music that I don't enjoy very much.
