really the overall sound/synths used/percussion style does not come into the equasion.
imo to be 'progressive' a track is usually the opposite. and doesnt really 'progress' into much. its a plodding along track with no massive buildups like normal trance. usually the producers of prog tend to tone down bpm's to slightly slower than normal trance. however there are no real guides to how a prog track should be arranged or sound.
most prog trance tracks these days are more 'uplifting' than actual uplifting trance tracks. because more concentration is given to the groove and a cool repetetive bassline than into melodical journeys.
just my opinion, but as i said, there are no real rules, and all genres are mixing into one so its hard to determine most styles these days. |

Progressive trance/house has the backing of thousands of pretentious pricks who think they're more sophisticated than everybody else because they can convince themselves to sit through 8 hours of music that would bore any sane person to tears.
That's about it, I think. |

"Progressive" is supposed to refer to the overal progression/development of the genre, not to the actual track building up or progressing. |

yes and no...
I can see your point in this statement but from the beginning it had nothing to do with the whole genres progression.
If you compare an uplifting track with a progressive one the most noticable difference would be the way the track builds up.
the uplifting track almost always has at least one but often more buildups and climaxes.
A progressive track on the other hand builds towards something more through the whole track, I often get the feeling when the track ends that I haven't really heard all of the track, that there could be even more.
A good example for a progressive track imo is Utah Saints- Lost vagueness (Oliver Lieb remix)
but in the end I'm personally not very fond of putting stuff in to genres to much, if it's good it's good...no matter how it was produced. |

Vizay , i agree with you about not putting something into a genre just produce it no matter what it falls under as long as it sounds good.
Would you guys say Bruon Fergani Combined forces would be considered progressive? |
