| So what then, defines this progressive house sound? And what type of previous house music is this "progressing" away from? |

I'd say the biggest thing that went missing from subsequent strains of progressive house is the strong dub influence, which slowly dissipated (especially once the sound became big in America) and is almost non-existent in modern "progressive". The quintessential progressive house track is all about the distinctive groove, which marries dub with harder tribal elements. If you look at practically all British dance music from the early '90s, it's heavily influenced by Jamaican music.
As for what it was "progressing away from", read this article: http://www.djhistory.com/features/trance-mission-1992. This is the only era of progressive house that actually lived up to the name. |

| I'd say also the "house" part of progressive house is missing from a lot of subsequent records. |

| I just want to know the mindset of those progressive house producers. In other words, I want to know what gear Quivver was using to produce those stormers during the real era. I want to replicate that sound one day. :o |

| I'm a fan of the Gat Decor track that someone posted on the first page. That one's always had a primitive charm to it. It appeals to me in the same way that Orbital Chime does even though the tracks arent very similar. :D |

Me too, it's on a compilation series I bought in the early 90's, this one in 1992 (, that's over 20 years ago...). Loved it ever since, also the vocal version I still like. To me it now sounds like it was it's time ahead compared to other tracks of that compilation.
Tenth Chapter - Wired, also posted, I still totally love since I heard it in 1996. |

this is one example
although I prefer the amityville dub, this mix still features the sick layers and subtle sounds that Quivver in his prime was accustomed to. Whatever he did at 7:38 is genius. |
