Originally posted by SYSTEM-J Yes, I'm not denying this. You're distinctly implying it as a significant step that requires certain tracks to ween people over. It's not- and if people need such help they're narrow-minded. Just let them get on with it. I see constant threads and posts on this "jump", as if it's a big development in tastes. It's laughable.

What are they supposed to do, jump into IDM from being into say house or trance? or jump into bluegrass from being in trance? now that's a big jump...even jumping into classical, that isn't a huge step and i'm not acting like it's a huge step, but a step forward, a maturing taste. As people get older, their tastes sometimes mature, whether it's music, movies, books, or whatever. Thats what i'm saying...but they still may find stuff that is similar to what they liked. I'm not going to suggest to someone Luciano Pavarotti or Mozart or Beethoven if they were into Madonna, Britney Spears or Michael Jackson...huge step. People grow, they don't just change tastes out of thin air, if you like one food one day, your not going to magically stop liking it, and you may even find stuff similar that you might like better...same idea...

A guy on here got me into more melodic prog breaks/house/trance and I didn't know that much about them, and then I discovered some of it myself and found it was really similar to the stuff I liked, but different. And I can see myself getting more into some techno in the near future too, because i'm starting to find stuff with that too that I also like. People grow in tastes, they don't just change out of thin air. Ask many DJs, see their evolution...they change (yet some elements still stay the same).

I like to do that and I try to do that and then I get guys making judgments and assumptions about me on here like i'm "narrow minded" because I prefer something more than others or my tastes aren't super "matured" yet...my posts would be A LOT shorter if I knew there weren't people on here that make these judgments rather than just asking me to clarify...hence why they are often so long...

I've said and i'll say it again, I like melodic stuff period and I know there are plenty of people who do, esp those who like or liked trance. I don't see anything wrong with this. This doesn't make me or anyone narrow minded. Melodic music does not equal narrow minded. There's people on here who prefer more heavier beat based stuff too, some like both (and I do but it's not what I look for all the time).

I can see what you wrote, I can see what your words imply. It's the same party line: treating the jump as though it is significant. An open-minded person should just try prog and make their own opinion. I listened to progressive house and deeper trance at the same time I discovered melodic and anthemic trance. I've never shouted about it. I also listened to techno, hard-house and anything else I had been exposed to. You're acting like it's perfectly eclectic to listen to one sector of one genre of dance music and then have to ask about moving on. People shouldn't need "help".

I'm not trying to help, i'm trying to share....

I've no beef with recommending tracks- it's propogating this narrow-minded conception that irritates me. And don't deny it, because I've already clearly shown where you did.

Why can't I share with other's about my feelings about this music? Why do you and guys like DJ Intrique have such resentment for people who have any type of feeling when it comes to the music they like? I don't understand this, I thought this was a forum where you could share with others what you like and why you like it and your feelings about this or that piece or style of music. I'm not propagating this narrow minded conception, merely stating that branching off into other forms of music is sometimes the best thing and finding artists similar (but not the same style) is a way to do it. I like Ulrich Schnauss, he is similar (but not the same) as a lot of artists i've liked over the years, whether its EDM, or more traditional electronic or rock music. And now i've discovered stuff similar to him but even more different, like Boards Of Canada and Thievery Corporation (quite different from each other but still downtempo music).

A guy who was a music producer and musician that I worked with for a while, he recommended me plenty of stuff that were similar to some bands I was discovering. Same idea...tell someone you like something, and then give them recommendations of stuff they might like that might be similar (but not the same). I'm actually acting like it's not a huge step, rather just a step, and that's all. That step could lead to other things as well.

I'm trying to but i'm a little lost at what your trying to get at exactly with this. Is it the way I feel about the music or what??

I'm done with this debate, lets please end it. I have to go and I am sick and tired of arguing with you people on here....I never meant to get into any argument by what I said in the first place.

No, it's about how you're treating the process of exploring other styles. The move from trance to prog is so small it should barely be a move, and yet there are countless threads on this subject. Countless posts detailing how best to move onto another genre. There shouldn't be, and that there are is propogating a mindset that staying with one sound is good and normal and moving onto a new genre is a Big Thing. It's discouraging people from just buying shit and trying new music out- because they think that it's difficult to move to a new sound.
