Some frickin` music related posts (thread 2) - 2006/07/13 12:49 The more Global Underground I listen to, the more I`m convinced that Progressive House is just want people who like trance but don`t want to admit it have decided to call slow trance. I mean seriously, what`s the difference? It sounds nothing like regular house and has multiple elements of trance--from multi-delay stabs to swirling pads. Even the general mood of Progressive House is trancey.
Can somebody help explain this?

Re:Some frickin` music related posts (thread 2) - 2006/07/13 21:28 it can depend on the viewer/listener.
Progressive house tends to still be house in that it`s mostly bassline/beat driven, but it has some trancey stuff added. But usually that plays a lesser, or complementry role.
Whereas in trance, the melody or synths or breakdown is the focus of the song.
If you listen to stuff from Whoop! records (makers of some of the best progressive house around), then listen to a trance song, you can clearly tell the difference

Re:Some frickin` music related posts (thread 2) - 2006/07/13 23:03 The GU collection that I was referring to specifically was the new sampler, "Locations."
Here`s a tracklist, just to spur on the debate...
1. Mushrooms by Marshall Jefferson 2. Music by Jamez 3. Spooky by Mike Vandenberg 4. Purple by Circulation 5. Autoporno by Fingerfest Inc. 6. Night Watch by Greco 7. I Wish You Were Here by John Creamer 8. Musica by Hydrogen Rockers 9. Obsidian by Banco de Gaia 10. Lifetimes by Tyrone
I would, if I hadn`t been specifically told by someone that it was "Progressive House" call the whole thing a trance CD. Though some tracks have some house-y elements, the mixture far favors trance.
My point here is not to crap on Progressive House or anything. I generally think that genres are pretty silly. I just think that far too many people, especially those who listen to Progressive for some reason, hate on other genres without noticing that the lines are very blurry.
