im not talking about the vocals.. im talking about the synths

usually when a synth is involved i consider it trance.. well thats just one identifying factor.. also how the percussion goes as well... but iwth prog that is very different


james holden uses alot of synths unlike house which uses more real type instruments less electronic

IMO of course

Originally posted by SuperFarStucker you'll find electronic music is fickle as for categorizations. They are often very subjective.. lots of gray and not much black and white, and there are tons of synonyms for the same 'music' group.. I find its best to stay away from redundant categorization and just enjoy the music. After all it doesn't really matter if it's "progressive house", "miami bass", "detroit techno", "cheese", "epic trance" or whatever just as long as its a mint piece of production (ehh , cept maybe cheese.. but thats more of a buzzword for "high-nrg" tracks and shit productions then a genre)...

I couldnt agree more. some people talk about the music to much when they should be listening to it. and there of course is all the people who grill everyone they meet who says the listen to trance/eloctronica.... how annoying

Definitely agree with the people here who are saying that figuring out what genre something is is often more trouble than it's worth...probably why PvD doesn't claim to play Trance, just "Electronic Dance Music", why worry about categorisation when you can just enjoy the music?

It can be useful in that if you like artist A in such and such a genre you have an idea where to go from there, but with the wonderful world of file sharing and high speed connections it's such a simple thing to just start dipping into everything and figuring out what you like from there even that end of usefulness for genres is starting to become less and less necessary.

To me if you know the difference between Trance, Prog, House, Breaks and Goa you already know more than enough to get by :shrug:
