to tell you the truth, i thought that for the longest time... i thought progressive was boring, weird noises, not melodic or anything..

one day...

my friend gave me a sander kleinenberg set, i moved to gabriel and dresden, some deep dish, then moved on to harder progressive such as steve lawler, digweed came next.. i fully appreciate him now for everything he does

one thing people dont understand aboutprog is that its about mood
prog is the dirty nitty gritty of electronica music, it comes in many forms it makes u get the fuck up and dance the dirtier the vox the more intense it is... prog is repetitive... but in a good way

again sorry if i came harsh but..

trance (imo) seems to follow a certain trend..

most trance unlike some artists such as slacker, is very "cookie cutterish" they follow the same guidelines...

progressive is never the same its always different... but thats just my opinion.

non-sense and off-topic alert in this message, sorry for that and you've been warned

Imagine 3 people here doing a test
I play 4 pure sine wave notes 1 and then a major 3rd followed by and the 3rd and 4th are a repeat of 1st and 2nd
A: Dislike
B: No comment
C: No comment
The 4 notes are now reverbed and with a huge feedback delay in a short percussive timbre
A: Dislike
B: Interesting
C: No comment
The 4 notes are now in a slow attack orchestra strings
A: Dislike
B: Hmm ok
C: Dunno
Now let's play 5 chords like this Em - Em(6) - Am - Bm - Em in piano
A: Nice
B: Not Bad
C: Just some song
Now listen to this sample
A: Typical pop tune
B: Can't comment, just an intro
C: Oh it is xxx - xxxx that tune, great tune

Sorry no offense to anyone.
And sorry Freezel for misleading your post

I listen to music , not someone's attitude or "the progressive genre categorization"

Armin said his music isn't trance, that trance doesn't really exist anymore... in a way i agree, the trance we have today is nothing like the older version of trance....
as long as it's melodic, yet pounding it's great! and armin is great in combining those 2
