oh yeah, way back when, in context, the earlier trance/prog stuff was cool, Im thinking like Oliver Lieb/Datacide as a point in case.
To my jaded old mind I just see the rise of progressive as one of the many fractions into which music split in the 1st half of the 90's...Techno/House/Jungle (dnb)/Progressive/Trance
Which split clubgoers back up by social status - House/Prog:Smart shoes and cocaine crowd.. DnB - Speed taking car thieves, everyone else trance (got bored and fucked off), techno alone retained the eclectic vibe that produced it all in the 1st place, which due to its essential post-modernist imageless stance was pretty much unmarketable, making it nigh on impossible to get into clubs anymore (clubs then becoming posh pubs with dancefloors).
Pisses me right off, I can't EVEN tell you.
And what is this dinlo character all about ? Peruvian nose gabber or something ? Do me a favour. Sure, take elements of all global music and cherry pick the best bits, but unless you've been living on TV for the last 15 years, music history ended with the culmination of dance music culture which took the best of the last 2000 years of musical evolution, plugged it into proper equipment and turned it up until the producer, the record companies and/or the radio bottled it. That was it.
