| Are they the same thing? Does either of them actually exist? What do those terms refer to? |

| just taking a stab in the dark, but i'm guessing it refers to the newer style of trance and the different feeling it creates |

| Yeah, but I was kind of wondering if anyone had examples. And what defines the "new style of trance," as far as elements. |

From what I've heard, it's just the trendy minimal crew's interpretation of trance.
I don't know if Aril Brikha's new album qualifies, but it sure has a lot in common with late 90's progressive trance. |

based on that definition, nu/neo can be used in place of "progressive."
see other thread.

| Buzz words. Anything I've heard as referred to by these names are nothing new at all. Essentially, electro-trance + minimal techno = too much bull to call it anything except neo-trance. |

Nu-trance and progressive trance are different things, though. Prog trance represents trance that used to sound forward thinking, where as nu/neo trance is not really evolved from prior trance, but rather represents the more melodic sound of what's currently trendy.
Nobody's really pinned nu/neo down yet. I think artists like Kaito and The Field, and other melodic stuff you see coming out of Kompakt qualify. It's soft techno made very melodic so it sounds like trance would if trance had never been invented. So it's nu-trance. |

I had created a thread on this subject a few months ago. I used to say the same thing: Nobody has really pinned nu trance yet. But Kompakt's Speicher label and Border Community are the best examples of what that would be. |

I saw him play live a few weeks ago... definitely hard to pin down as 'nu trance'. maybe a track like "over the ice" by itself, but when you hear it in the context of one of his live pa sets you find he has a very different idea of his music. it's wacky |

I think there was a couple of more threads about neo trance, but I can't find anything, except these two:
Thread #1
Thread #2
I don't know, a couple of years ago people thought that tunes like The Girl From Botany Bay and Mit Dir are neo trance, but now every other tech house track sounds like that (that trancy) so there's no need really for neo trance label |

I'll be perfectly honest and say I haven't really heard his music: I'm going on what I've heard for him. |
