    i don't doubt that he's a nice guy... i think it's easier for a person to be naturally nice than to go out of your way to be an asshole. what was so disappointing to me was his music. it just never picked up to the point where i was dancing my ass off. you know that "dancing your ass off" feeling right?

    i'm a prog house fan myself but i don't discount other genre altogether just b/c i'm a "prog head". occasionally, i'll go to a trance show, most recently being above & beyond. yeah, it was cheese but i enjoyed it. while i can't speak for other prog house fans out there, i think many of us don't like electro for a various reasons. one is that the traditional prog house djs have ditched prog house in favor of electro so as fans of the genre and as fans of those djs, we're not getting what we used to. the other reason is that we probably just don't like the sound of electro. we just don't like the buzzy, computer-beeping, blatty sounds, coupled with gay/cheesy vocals. it's annoying and sounds way too mainstream. yes, there are prog house tunes out there equally as annoying.

    one genre that's kinda lost in this nebulous line between trance and prog house i feel is progressive trance. it's not cheesy (no massive synth breaks), but it's got great pace and energy unlike some of the more dull and slow prog house. christopher lawrence is a great example. and when armin or other trance djs are in the non-cheezy part of their sets, it's gold. so much vibe...

            He's got a point.
            “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
            ― Marcus Tullius Cicero

                    first off, they arnt playing pure electro dude, come on, its been discussed 1million times. but this "electric house" is extactly that - house. not trance. it will have a different vibe all together. that vibe is why most of us listen to what we do. we appreachiate the feelings from the music.

                    i'm a house oriented guy and i much prefer the vibe of some good dirty house at a reasonable bpm as opossed to having my hands in the air for 3 hours beimg bombarded with pure cheeze from above and beyond or even armin van burren?! you couldnt pay me to even listen to 30 minutes of there music. prog is in a tough phase right now, but still has its moments every so often. but trance is for the noobies. everyone starts there, and moves on once they've gained some musical knowledge., thats not news to anyone.

                    It's hard to sit here and listen to some tranceaddict rip on house because they dont know the first thing about it. also im not sure what "electro" djs your listening to but if you think that nobody is doing anything proper on the house front your sadly mistaken. i'd suggest expanding your horizons and check out what some of the more obscure HOUSE (not ex prog) djs are doing before you spit up more comments like this one. if your trying to tell me people like daminel lazuras, james holden, lawler, clive henry, tiefshwarz, trentemoller, fanculli, tiga, ty tek, little mike, etc etc, etc, etc are putting out vibeless mindless worthless super cheezy music wioth no feeling what-so-ever, well then i'll leave you to your "non cheeze armin van burren".

                            Hes got a point! I like the lot though to be honest and think every day brings a new frame of mind. Some mornings i wake up with some mad music in my head that ive heard on the radio and claimed never to like, but if its stuck in my head it must have made its mark somehow! I used to slag off lots of types of music but now ive learnt to respect everything even if it isnt quite your taste cos one day you might find that you actually like it!

                                wowo, slow down there buddy. i think you've gotten on the defense and then started putting words in my mouth. i'm like the biggest prog house fan out there. since when did i become a trance-loving, arm raising noobie? all i said was i like the occassaional trance (and i even said it was cheese) and all the sudden, you gotta bash me to the ground? electro, electric house (as you say), prog rock... we all know what's being discussed here.

                                seriously, don't start putting words in my mouth. my computer is filled with sets from s&d, dekay, kosmas epsilon, chris & kai, inkfish, kazell, holden, cattaneo, howells... should i go on? oh yeah, and an occassional armin.

                                sheesh. egotistical musical snobbery.

                                    well, if anything you said had any relevance or even truth, i may not have gotten as agitated with your comment. and your "musical egotism" may perhaps match mine (unlikely tho) with your whole if its not trance/progressive then its mainstream crap with gay vocals and terrible ear bleeding sounds....

                                    embracing the new expands the mind.
