Hi. I have recently discovered trance music and dancing to it. Apparently not all music called trance is actually trance music. I have just about given up on getting a clear definition of the various kinds of psychedelic trance, also called psytrance. There's also a kind called progressive psychedelic trance. This progressive psychedelic trance seems to also have songs called progressive house. I really don't care what name the music is given, but I'd like to know the names if only for helping me search for records or decide which party I might want to attend and at least have a general idea as to what kind of music I can to expect to hear.
So I thought I'd start with joining this tribe and posting some songs and or artists that I like and see what others might call the type of music they're grouped into. Some DJ's make more than one type of music, so when I list a song my question will be about the one song listed, not the artist's music as a whole. We know the Rolling Stones as rock musicians, but they do have a country music song or two in their repetoire. Same thing with some DJ's and bands of trance and house music.
By the way, I'm not too clear on what exactly the sound of progessive house is. :) If it is the songs I'll list in this first post of this thread I will have a very good understanding of it. If these songs are a different type of house than progressive or if they are mostly considered a type of trance, this should help me too. No matter what they're called, I find them fun to dance to and have a more playfull or sexy feel to them than psytrance. Psytrance has a lot of energy, at times bordering on the frenetic. Lots of fun at times and it really can get you hopping, but there's times when I like to actually be able to move with the music as compared to being left behind or playing catch up. It's all good, but things change over the course of a night or even the circumstances and ambiance of the place and people listening and dancing. As I like both types of music and dancing to them, I am mainly wanting to be able to identify which is which so that when I on occasion have a preference for which I want to hear, I'll be able to make an informed choice.

The "In Stereo" I just found out the name of and that it is by Ticon. So I went to Beatport to see how they classify the song. The Ticon original version of it has three or more classifications by Beatport! It is not the version that I heard first nor like as much even if it is the original! Trance, psy-trance, and progressive house. All depending on which album or compilation it is contained in. This makes no sense to me at all. This song is recorded the same in the three places I saw it listed as original mix. So I'm just confused. The version I listed in my list above is the version I have only heard so far. I like the song a lot and now thanks to Beatport I know its name, who originally recorded it, and who remixed it for the version I like. I am not used to this remixing process. Wow! The same song can be one that doesn't sound anything like the original! "Blew" has a Brackets remix on Beatport and it is a completely different song than the Antix with Fiord remix that I list. Having just now discovered this, I will have to go back to figuring out what I have just learned. Oh well, :) Hey, I still like the versions I list and am curious about which category of music they fall under. And this explains to me why I like all three versions I have heard of "Spines" originally by Sun Control Species. I am tripping. Thanks for your indulgience towards my naivette in these things.
Thanks for any help. Hey, if there's any pattern to the songs I have listed and a following to this type of music by people that like to dance to it, I would like to know if there's any clubs or places that play it on occasion that I can go to. One of the tribes that I'm a member of (Terrakroma) has DJ's that have played this type of music. I try to make it when I see that Armando, Earthbag(Andrew), or Gabriel are going to play. I'd certainly like to experience other DJs playing it too. When I've heard this type of music played outdoors nice and loud, it really sounds good. I have a few discs given to me that I've played at home on my stereo that sound good too, though it is such a difference to listen and dance to them alone as compared to outdoors in a group of like minded tribal members during a night of dancing.
