Really? I thought everybody had a problem with boy bands and pop music except pubescent girls.

Well anyway, for the impaired, let me try to try to clarify a bit more on what I meant. The comparison was made in contrast to his entire assault on the genre he stated (re. above). Every genre has it's bad apples, but a few horrible or uncreative productions, vocals, and etc don't make a whole genre bad. Thus stating that in between every genre or artform, there is innovative, stuff being put out.

So no,

you officially don't "get" it...

Fool.

But you gots great grammar, so thumbs up there (notice the satire? he-he).

You still don't get it. If you had proper reading comprehension skills you would see that he didn't insult the whole genre, but rather ASOT, Anthem Trance, Epic Trance, and Dutch Trance. God you're dense.

Um.

Originally posted by Ishkur Every single track that has ever been played on ASOT. Generally, all trance made with a predictable, cookie-cutter formula (the breakdown, snare roll and crescending anthem extra value meal, with a side order of inane vocals), made in minutes like a mad libs exercise and rolled off the assembly line and pressed quickly to wax so the DJ could play it on Pete Tong's show that night. This would include all Anthem Trance, Epic Trance and Dutch Trance made since 1998. Cheap, shallow junk mass-produced for quantity's sake.

Uh. Also.

What kind of reading comprehension skills does a person need to understand that. I mean hell

Now, Posting a definition out of a dictionary makes me sound nothing but Mr. snobbish but sorry I had no choice here than to show you that my reading comprehension skills are on top form. Example being, notice how I just grabbed that definition out of the dictionary (satire again.. he-he).

Thanks.

Although, I would've rathered a coment on my signature as it did take me some time to come up with such a rather complex theme.

Its basically what happens when person A doesnt like what person B does therefore they do the kiddy thing and make up a term to put person B down.

Thats what I got out of it.

Who thought music was all about judging people and their tastes in styles?

Sh*t I didnt know.

Spirit5 you have restored my faith in message board discussions! Not because I agree with you (which I do) but because of the way you conduct them…

McProg is mankinds way of always having to have to put a title to things. I think it is actually immature kids in some dark corner of the world trying to take the piss out of a style of music they don’t fully understand. Progressive trance should cover most of this style. Some people hate it, hence every time a forum topic comes up like this they jump into it and start abusing it….why? Who knows, maybe the cartoons finished on tv and their hamster had to be put back in the cage. People think its waterd down trance….but its not….its just another form of melodic dance music, some of it gives an emotional feeling and is nice to listen to…some of it less so but pounds in a club.

A lot of people like it..but on TA some people think its not ‘cool’ to like it and will jump at everything you say. This board is so bitchy like that…you cant express and opinion without being ‘wrong’.

Anyway this music is pioneering to me..and although some of the productions sound like they can be made in 10 minutes, some of it is a lot more complex. Some of the good prog-trance stuff is a lot harder to make than most genres of dance music….and to come up with different ‘plinky’ melodies (as some people call them) is harder than using sawtooth stabs etc, to do this and for it to sound good takes a good producer. Transatlantic is a good example, nice deep bassline, nice big melody without sounding cheesey, nice drums and intricate production.

Just my view, but its good to read spirit5`s post. We should all be more tolerant of other peoples tastes.
