of course this is all opinions :-) compared to the stuff from 98-2002 the stuff afterwards of which coldharbor was one of the most popular and prodigious labels lacks creativity
IMO of course
its funny - the older progressive trance really hooked me into this type of music - so i began buying vinyl etc. and almost as soon as i did - the music that i really loved stopped being produced/popular - it was quite frustrating lol.
new stuff? mistique music - go and search that label up on beatport - just a start for you :-)

Yeah I guess the problem was that the new sound of progressive trance was sort of a one trick pony, and most of the producers were trying to recreate a certain sound/style and copy other tracks.
I really don't know what's progressive trance anymore the lines have blurred so much. What this coldharbour / andy moor etc era did was bring the tempos down from melodic trance and mix some house elements in. And since progressive house on the other hand has become a lot more melodic in the past 4 years, it's very difficult to say what's progressive trance and what's just slower melodic trance or progressive house.
I considered progressive trance and progressive house to be one and the same, and by that definition does not include ferry corsten, tiesto, pvd, ect ..
Also, following this definition I don't think it's a 1 trick pony. It matches more of a layers approach.
Here are some of my favorite progressive songs:
Mainline - narcotic
Alex Dolby - psiko garden (sasha re-edit)
Van Bellen - Let Me Take You On A Journey (Nalin Kane Remix)
Nalin & Kane - Open your eyes
solar stone - Day By Day (Red Jerry 'Smack the bigot up' Dub)
Sven Vath - My Name Is Barbarella [Album Version]
Satoshi Tomiie Feat.Kelli Ali - Love in traffic (Dark Path)
Robb & Skinner - Earshot
Pete Lazonby - Sacred Cycles(Quivver Remix)
MUZO B - SHEN(Original Mix)
DJ Tiesto - 643 Love's On Fire (Quiver Instrumental)
Ogenki Clinic - first Light
Pig and Dan - Panama
tons more ..

Mistiquemusic. Please recommend me something else. That's the only label people recommend when talking about older style progressive trance/progressive house and so far I haven't heard a single tune from them that would fit the description IMO. I haven't heard them all though.
Also if you've got some specific recommendations from Mistiquemusic, I'd like to hear them too. But as a general recommendation I don't think it's very good.
Come on people cant we just post this guy a nicely formatted list of all good prog tracks between 2002 and 2006 so that he can just copy and paste into Kazaa or whatever it is kids use these days?
Jesus fucking christ.......
