alright anyway, so what do u call songs like:
chable & bonnicci - ride
holden - break in the clouds
central rush - out of focus
for example??? they're not house, they're not trance, they're Just Progressive. |
Chable and Bonnici - Ride is clearly Progressive House with trancey elements....It's also similar in nature to Cosmos - Take Me With You (obviously house) but has a more rolling bassline.http://www.discogs.com/release/193033
Discogs has A Break in the Clouds Listed as different things all not progressive or progressive house so it's always a matter of opinion when it comes to genre bending tracks like that....Holden is the king of un-classified tracks. I'd say it's progressive house but it's also very minimal-tech sounding as well..http://www.discogs.com/release/171075
I honestly don't know that Central Rush track :( |

This is exactly what I was saying. As far as the tracks Lunasea posted I actually consider them melodic Progressive House. They're not trance but contain a housey beat with trancey elements. Alot of Matthew Dekay's tracks can be classified in that way as well ie. "If I Could Fly" and Steve Porter - "Definite Form" |
Right, but instead of citing really long definitions for types of songs like "melodic progressive house with trancey elements," somewhere along the line those tracks became known as progressive / prog tracks. Thats a pretty widely accepted term for that kind of music, not just on TA, but from those artists themselves. |

"Ride" is straight progressive, there really isn't anything trancey about the track. It has a melody, but thats not a trance riff.
I agree with you though, "A Break in the Clouds" is not progressive. A lot of Holden's tracks blur the genre lines and that track is hard to classify.
i don't agree with the crazy obsession peopel have with fitting tracks into a clear cut genre. My only point is that progressive / prog is an accepted sub genre that is different than progressive house and progressive trance. |

The melodic part was a description not a definition. Those tracks are imo progressive house and Porter of course is one of the leading Progressive House Djs around right now with his upbeat and funky progressive house tracks. |

right, but thats how new genre terms come about...so people don't have to use a bunch of descriptive terms to describe a sound. |

haha, absolutely. getting people to accept that as a sub-genre might be tough though. |

I would agree it is a genre of its own. |
