I really really really wish you people would stop using the "if XXX is sucks, then why is XXX popular?" excuse. Britney Spears is more popular than any producer could even imagine being and her music is atrocious. Popularity DOES NOT EQUAL quality.

Originally posted by YaleTrance A pioneer in domesticating prog and trance, blending them together, and creating fast food music. This is a step backwards from what people like Sasha, Dave Seaman, James Holden, Nick Warren and even Tiesto and Oakey have done in the past. There's nothing really new or refreshing about this. Think about it. I'm tempted to include Armin in the fast food prog trance category as well, but that's a whole different story. LOL.....

Everyone has to start somewhere. Probably 75% of the people who joined the scene back in '99 were huge trance heads, then slowly converted to whatever they love now. To me, Markus shows people that there's more to EDM then just trance. He does this by keeping it danceable, but not your regular formula based "build up hands in the air climax" style.

The guys that you mentioned do their music for their underground fans, and that's who they want to please. Markus just wants to make music everyone can enjoy...

People will learn on their own, it just takes time. It takes awhile to be a jaded underground elitest though

The thing about it is that hes trying 2 bring a new style tho just like he did with Just be and it worked. they songs areunt TOO HIGHT up. but the vocals acaully are the best thing in 2007. The Track Carpe Noctum is like traffic but it hink he could of prefected the shit ouf it. but generalllyy its an amazing album...oh and Ten Seconds Before Sunrise is like Forever today TIMES 12

Okay this debate is getting a little bit too analytical for a form of art after all it is subjective, it's not exactly arithmetic. When I was referring to proggressive being intelligent I was referring more to the tracks that are substantial to Clear Blue. The whole CD sounds amazing but Clear Blue is like beyond this world like Yale Trance said. Not necessarily the tracks that have been remixed and fucked like a 52 year old prostitute in NY. As I said to a friend last night the likes of Sasha/Digweed and now Markus allow you to get lost in the melody more than that of an epic trancer. Each has its place and at the right time can work magic.

And as far as the "being done before", you may not want to consider that so much as played out rather than people simply following a good example and trying to put unique spins on it. The generations progress just as music because you learn from what you have been told and the good influences in life not copy them but apply them. I can't convince everyone to love Markus of course because for some reason I don't specifically enjoy PVD so much, he's good but I don't see what the hoopla is about, so naturally it just comes down to a feeling.

O yes and YaleTrance, even though I dreadfully disagree with you, I must give you props on your copyright of McProg, that was a true laugh out loud moment here in the workplace.

'quality' is a subjective notion.
