ive never heard anyone call Sandstorm progressive trance...ever. when i think of prog trance i think of something like jimmy van m's Bedrock album. or maybe markus shulz's mixes.

i really have never heard anyone call darude prog-anything. its dance/club trance garbage.

Steve Angello is the first ****ing person on the list lol

I agree it is absolute garbage but it is Def more on the Prog side of trance.

I am just more into Acid trance...And I highly disagree that prog trance is more intelligent than any other style of trance.

I personally don't personally use progressive _________ as a genre name, but as an adjective to simply how the track is built:

As opposed to a few sudden changes in the track, from one repetitive loop to another repetitive loop. Or worse yet, no changes at all.

It is somewhat synonomous to "varied", "complex", "intelligent".

Essentially, I consider progressive the OPPOSITE of this:

And there have been a million viewers and the track is rated 5 stars.

I believe after being reminded that such monstrosities exist in this world you will agree there is a desperate need for a word that would separate real music from such abomination. I would never dare to say that I listen to trance, if this is brain-barf of a sick monkey is also considered trance. It seems that many people have begun to use "progressive" as such a word, to seperate the soup from the vomit, the jelly from the slime, the nuggets of chocolate from the nuggets of poo.

I guess my use of the word might be debatable, though I don't think it's limited to just me. As per OP (who also seems to consider it more important wether or not the track is progressive, than wether it is house or trance or etc).

The genres you mentioned that you consider superior to progressive trance, I would probably define also as progressive trance themselves.

For illustration, here's a track that is neither house, trance, nor any specific genre really, but is progressive. You can tell it's progressive. It smells of progression. I am sure OP will like this more than most all non-progressive trance, non-progressive house and non-progressive etc. Because it's progressive, and that's the most important thing.

Last link I found via Hype Machine - a page that lets you search music blogs for artists and songs. There's a plugin that lets you play all songs on a web page as well, and people link songs extensively. Awesome tool for finding new music. I discovered it not long ago and already spent lots of time there...it's addicitive, so be warned.

don't be equating dubstep with house yo

for the best dubstep, go to subfm.com and check out bunzer0 and T_! in the archives

Thanks for this

There was Dub-house years and years before the first k-head or e-tard tried to mix his 45rpm Jungle records on 33rpm to create dub-step. That's basically all Dub-step is DNB slowed down to the point of sleeping or stuck in a K-Hole.

Dont forget dubstep.fm
