This has definitely been the year of prog house not trance. Sasha is more prog trance while digweed is more house (best way I can put it). I think this is digweed's big year, he'll win dj of the year and will quickly fade away because he is not open minded and doesn't change with the times. His style of prog house is simplistic and boring and I think it will be a quick fad. Radio 1 already has a pole asking if people have had enough prog house. Maybe next year will be techno's year to shine. I am beginning to like it more and more because it keeps the energy of trance and does away with its cheasy garbage and the boredome prog house (well some techno anyway, some of it is just as bad). The one thing I have noticed about electronic music is how quickly it evolves. It's always changing and that's one characteristic that separates it from most music genres. Just look at rock music... has it evolved one bit since hendrix and elvis? Not really, it keeps producing the same crap year after year... no innovation and no creativity.
Anyway I love this genre and I cant wait to see how it progresses.

see but there is that borderline stuff that I CALL prog trance. like solicitous - furthermost.. e.g. cass & slide - perception (not glad i ate her)
even like sasha - xpander
and such.
some of tiesto's magik journey stuff. not anthems. but still trance.
the most excellent way out west too, walking that line between progressive house and trance.

this is the kind of music we need more of, more seaman/warren stuff, less digs, and of course some decent epic trance in the upcoming year.

The year where shops were filled with shit loads of commercial chill out albums, most of which were shit...

The year of the progressive sound, progressive house 2 b xact; progressive house has had most of the focus, not progressive trance.

All in all a bad year :-(

In revenue terms it would be those damn Chillout albums - I swear they're breeding. For me it's been prog though, coz I never listened to it before and I luv it I hope the money-makers don't catch on though coz I want to explore it at my own pace without having it rammed down my throat.

What I'd like to see is more sets like Tiesto's EM. A great blend of quality prog & uplifting tunes. Doesn't need to be a fight, they work well together.

I think 2002 will be make or break year for epic/uplifting, but I'm confident it's going to be a cracker. It seems like every year people expect trance to die out and be replaced (hard house last year, prog this year) but it'll just keep going if you ask me.
