There's still some quality deep melodic progressive being made, it's just harder to find these days because the trend is either towards the electro-prog-trance sound (Baroque, Anjunadeep, Discoteca) or the minimal-tech-electro sound (Renaissance, Twisted Frequency). Check out labels such as Tilth, Vapour, No Smoking, or Morphosis.

"Progressive" the new "Trance"? Yeah thats what they were saying in 2001, 7 years ago!

This is exactly what people were saying 7 or 8 years ago.
One guy who is still makes great progressive house... Max Graham (actually John Graham too).

Could be true in that sense, I suppose.

Still, depends on which "prog" period you're talking about.
