see thats why its trance, if its vocal, and melodic then its progressive trance, progressive house Is WAY WAY WAY WAY dryer sounding, vocals are not near as melodic as this ch00n, and the beats are not to progressive house style this is a pure prog trance ch00n.

Originally posted by D'Paul Its progressive house. How can you say the beat is trancey? In general, both have a 4/4 kick. Also, its pretty slow to be classified as trance. Of course, I'm assuming that we're talking about the Gabriel and Dresden remix.

trance can be slow, airwave - lady blue, do you think that is trance, or how about some armin tunes, like vdm - shamu armin remix, those are pretty slow, i think its in between trance and prog though, dont know what you call that

Originally posted by Dubster Andain - Beautiful Things. I love the tune, I think it's absolutely brilliant. But I have a question - what is it about it that qualifies it as a "Trance" tune ? I know it fits in nicely with other trance tunes - but is it trance itself ? To me, it sounds more like just a "song", and a damn good one. Can anyone explain please ?

melodic prog good sir.

mm, let's just call it Gabriel and Dresdenism

Isn't this a stereo-type progressive trance tune? It has all the elements of progressive trance in it...

I've always thought of progressive trance as very fast. Something along the lines of what a Christopher Lawrence spins and produces. Trance can indeed be kinda slow, but progressive house can't be fast (it stays between 120-130 bpm in general). As far as the elements of the track, the melodic vocals have that glossy echoed feel to them which is typical of prog. Also, how many trance tracks do you know with a garage bass line? I don't know, it doesn't matter, its a quality tune.

exactly! call it whatever you want. nowadays we live in an era of so many fusions and genre overlaps that it would be really naive to think that we can classify every track into a single genre. g&d have an unique sound and style, which is composed by both prog trance and prog house elements among other influences. they have that very warm and melodic sound that sound classier and more sophisticated than your average trance but not as dry as your average prog house. imo they are geniuses and visionaries that are ahead of their time.

stereotypical progressive is something thats minimal and ameks you want to go to sleep without any discernable melody
