There were some Huge Choons back in those days. That is when I first started listening. My first big party was Electric Daisy Carnival in 2000. That really blew my mind. I was new to the scene and had no idea what was in store for me. I also did not know I could stay awake for 50+ hours.

i love the music from late 96 on. i really like what came out say from about 98-2002. best time period. the music this year is fantastic though. last year fuckin sucked and 2004 was kinda hit or miss. 2006 has restore my faith(not that it was ever really lost). I constantly listen to music from back in the day though, just as much as the new shit. 2006 has had some really good mixes come out and i am happy to have so much good music new and old to listen to.

The best part about progressive music... it never really gets old.. I can still listen to sets from 1998-2004 and some of them are still banging!

Yeah the music in the late 90s was awesome, but I think the music now is just as good

I very much prefer the music from the late 90s, and also prefer music from the mid-90s or even early 90s. The early to mid-90s stuff were much more musical and complex/layered. The late 90s sound was so dark and evil.

Now I still hear stuff I like, such as Cattaneo, Garcia and Pole Folder. I don't consider myself a close-minded person when it comes to music (I love the approach/attitude Fortier and Lisle are taking towards prog, and the stuff that Three and Cusick play), I just find the current trend of electro-tinged sounds extremely boring because they're very reliant on building up intensities in a droning and grating manner not unlike a penumatic drill or trance buildups.

It's like that deep/dark prog period when everyone was doing it. When it's shit, it's just mindnumbingly boring. When it's good, it's such a headfuck. Same with music today. The internet also makes it easier for people to jump on the same bandwagon.
