I must be missing something? prog had its day about 3 years ago, then Digweed bored the out of us, and the rest of them got too intelligent for us & took us on a journey that we fell asleep in as soon as the needle hit the record...
prog taking over.. bwahahahaha!!! it's what ED the Melbourne scene in the first place & we're just starting to recover now. |

Trance will never die....Spoken by the Trance man himself 'TIESTO'. You have to see what the major players in the industry are playing and producing as they have control over what we hear in the times to come. That is the reality unfortunately. Whether or not Australian people have an opinion as to whether or not a particular genre or style of music is more popular than the next can sometimes be irrelevant. It's the big boys that determine the next sound and we have to accept that as it is.
I take trance as one unbelievably broad genre. It can be prog, dark, uplifting, melodic, deep, anything! Depends now on what you class as 'real' prog without the trance element. For me I don't care all I know is that trance is getting bigger and better than ever before and clubs specialising specifically in the progressive house sound are slowly starting to become scarce. Guess you need to see what's right before you before you can jump ahead and say one things better than the other.
I'm luvin it all the way to Dutch Dimension and Trance Energy! ;)
I guess we all have opinions, well this is mine anyway. (no offense intended)

I too am a little confused here.
Up to about a year ago the best prog nights were at the big venues with 1000 odd people there...
Now those nights no longer exist..
..and I come from from Melbourne the 'home of prog' in Australia...
Yeah prog is back...if your talking about prog that goes at about 136-140 bpm...kinda stuff Oakenfold, Fontaine etc used to PLay...stuff that includes the best of all genres (with a lot of trance)..with melody. |

True dat, prog has definently been in a down fall for a while, its talents like Zabiela, Sander K, James Holden that have revived certain aspects of the progressive sound... Digweed has had his day in my opinion...
Trance is obviously making a come back, just check out this years DJ mag poll, Tiesto, PVD & AVB are the top 3...
People are bored with the deep, dark, boring prog & are starting to look elsewhere, not just at trance, but at tech-trance, tech-house, house & so on.... |

| Funny how people have been asking this question about trance since it beginnings in the early nineties, the answer is always the same, and they'll probbably still be asking it in another 10 years... :cool: |

Dude,
You hit the nail on the ing head. Prog is the same monotonous its always been. It peaked about 3 years ago and went so deep and dark it turned everyone off. It's not exactly party music either. If I go out clubbing I want to listen to good uplifting party tunes not a bunch of chin stroking s all trying to go darker than the previous dj. |
