Why do I have to give examples? Some trance has a melody in it for scant moments, other trance has melody throughout. I'm not making a ing list of examples, it's bloody obvious. |
No, please give examples. |

Why? I don't listen to much melodic trance anyway, but if you compared an Above & Beyond track to Tiesto's Traffic or Marco V's Godd, you tell me which is the more melodic. |

i'd say a melodic track is a track where the melody is the main feature, where all elements are built around that one melodic sequence.
that is not always the case. |

I see what you mean, though I don't agree with it. For me, it's either melodic or not. |

Well why not just define it all as music? To hell with describing sounds, it's either music or it's not. |

I think its necessary to have certain genres. For example: progressive, breakbeat, goa/psy, d'n'b, techno. You can really tell the difference between these.
However, I dislike the uplifting, melodic, minimalistic, vocal genres that people would like to certify tracks as.
There is some type up 'uplifting' element in every song it depends on a person. There is a melody in every song, it just differs. There is minimalism in every song too but it too varies. Also, many many tracks have vocals. For this reason these names could now serve to represent genres. They can only represent some elements that the track is composed of. |

Where the bassline changes key every bar, to give the feeling of progression, and the other elements of the music add to this feeling. |

Lol. I knew that someone would ask that. My definition is Sasha, Sultan, The Greek, Deep Dish, Scumfrog, Infusion, Hybrid. It can be prog-house, prog-trance, prog-breaks.. its still prog. I really cannot define it in words. :) |

Well it does make sense, however, I believe that it is really hard to actually put a definition on it. |

It's pretty evident if you listen to a prog track, like Open Up by Leftfield. Not all tracks do the bassline thing any more, but they keep the same progressive feeling. |
