Yeah, I don't really see any point in trying to make a distinction between prog house and prog trance. I mean, the prog that we're talking about here falls somewhere in between house and trance in the first place - you're not going to be able to point to any progressive set or track and say with absolute certainty "that's purely progressive house" or "that's purely progressive trance". I just call it "progressive" under one big blanket term to ensure that I don't have to make that distinction.

Can we stop with the definitions now?

Wow! such a big amount of opinions about this genere, i must say that ever since I started moixicng the progressive got me, but i also loove uplifting trance, and I try to use it as much as possible.
Than x for the replies

Patticus, I wasn't talking about you, I was talking about the fact that "commercial" has become a useless cliche, like "cheese."

geeze, can't believe you guys are still rambling on about this.



labeling a tune this or that calling it cheese or commercial or whatever is only gonna dis-service yourself.

it's all about what is truly good and original. You have good progressive styled tunes, you have the good anthematic styled tunes and you have the more im-mature type tunes.

It's really about the quality of the tune, no matter what style it may fall.

there's alot of junk progressive , uplifting, hardhouse, immature tune out there right?

I only care for the good ones, no matter what genre.

Originally posted by patticus anyways not to fight with abt but ive heard both PvD and Tiesto described as "poppy anthem trance" if that doesnt sum up the meaning of commercial, i dont know what does. in my belief, tiesto more than pvd

hae you heard tiesto lately? he's been going a lot more prog lately.. and I can't fault him for it I looooooooove prog!! Tiesto's set at gcsss was absolutely blinding.. IMHO he's one of the top couple of DJs in the world at the moment

AGH...I'm sorry, I can't help myself from posting about the definitions, this is driving me nuts.

Tiesto has ALWAYS spun PROGRESSIVE TRANCE, all the tunes have always fit under the defnition of progressive trance. Epic/uplifting trance IS PROGRESSIVE TRANCE.

The progressive movement that has gotten big is the PROGRESSIVE HOUSE movement. Tiesto doesn't spin progressive house. PvD doesn't usually spin progressive house, he's throws it in sometimes. Sasha spins progressive house and progressive trance. Digweed used to spin the same, but now spins progressive house, tech house, tribal house, and the very occasional progressive trance tune.

The word progressive doesn't mean shit. Learn the difference between progressive house and progressive trance.

My opinion on the subject is that progressive house is alot more intelligent of a music, because it's much more intricate, well produced songs require a great deal of effort to make. I enjoy both, I'd rather hear the prog house in a club though, I like deep bassy songs. Progressive trance I used to love, but more and more it just gives me a headache and makes me cringe.
