It has ntohing to do the more or less complex piece of music. More complex it doesn?t mean better. And if you think progressive is "complex music", there are many tracks made with one single note of bass, kick, hi hat and one large sound... there isn?t even a melody... I don?t agree with you or that cientific magazine.
Anyways, tiesto rocks!

Some time ago I read an (scientific!) article about music complexity. It was some measure designed by profesional musicians to judge the difficulty (in lack of a better word) of a piece of music. The most charging factors were key changes and rythm/beat/whatever changes. The more intricate the tempo and so on, the more complex a piece is. The highest scores were from classical music of course and the lowest for some brazilian dance songs The conclusions from the article were that the complexity can be quite easily translated to popularity - the less complex music appeals to larger audience, while the more complex pieces are savoured by connoiseurs.

If you used this measure to rank edm genres, trance would probably prove to be teh simplest kind, while prog would land somewhere at the other end. This could explain the differences in popularity. And it also means in order to get prog to the masses it would need to be simplified = it would not be the same prog anymore.

Let's face it. We're the elite of the edm listeners. And let's leave it this way.

I thought this thread was going to be about who would win in a fight Tiesto or Digweed

Really, would you even want prog to go mainstream? If it did, it would start to suck because tons on no talent ass clowns would jump on the band wagon and make the music much weaker. IMO.

In my professional opinion, Tiesto is shit! he's worse than that asshole...rrr...what's his face there...The Irish guy..Oh yes, Oakenfold.
Before he was big, I gave him a shot, twice...one time he was just blah! :? The next time, just awful

huh? born and raised in london i thought
