Euro trance is any trance from Europe. Epic trance is trance with melody and big breakdowns. Progressive trance is less dramatic than epic, and more focused on a "journey" if such a cliché can be usefully used. In other words, it moves across an idea, rather than building up to something then fading out. There's no such thing as club trance/

Trance, trance, trance, prog trance, trance, God only knows these days, techno and whatever, pop, house, trance, hard trance.
Oh, and stop caring about categories. |

Well you too. I didn't name the genre. If it isn't looped and repetitive, if it isn't techy, if it isn't hard, if it isn't anthemic, epic, vocal, psy, goa, deep or dark then all that's left is something in the middle. That sound of halfway house to everything (which is what "progressive" means- prog house was coined by Mixmag to try and pigenhole Leftfield's genre-blending genius) which is a bit melodic, a bit anthemic, a bit deep and a bit repetitive. It's progressive trance. |

| No... Godd is a banger. I'm not even sure it's trance. It's probably NRG. |

| I always thought of progressive trance as epic trance turned down a notch, keeping a bit of those classic trance elements. That's why I love it so much. Breeder, old Solar Stone, old Quivver, old Tilt... pretty much anything Sasha & Digweed used to play, and a lot of Oakenfold's old playlists. |

I know it was Mixmag, because the journalist who coined it wrote about it in a biog for Leftfield. Leftfield are credited with inventing progressive house, and unless this journo who the duo paid to write about them lied about this, and Leftfield cleared his blurb even though it was lying, I trust his word. |

youre right bout that exept the fact that when you walk into a record shop you need to ask: "do you have ...."
i brought all this subject up cause the guy in the record shop told me that progressive trance is psy trance and he called ferry and the thrillseekers who i know as proggresive clubtrance (this genre though not really real is widely used to describe:what you here in clubs- ferry, armin... in israel)
btw it was tought being refered as a begginer, its just that all the definicions are real confusing and stuff
10x btw |
