who actually likes the prog?

I agree with sloppy here, I would much prefer Richard to do a Nick Riley style trancey warm up. It would suit Promise much more I think.

I always find myself sitting down for the first few hours cos the music isnt really my cuppa, but thats probs cos im an uneducated and uncultured trance freak

here here!

Dave seamen on friday night was fantastic and the prog he is played was great. when he dropped cosmos it was fukin amazing. Many people may say prog has died but i am still a fan

well i like it, u'll always find me on the dancefloor at the beginin' ov da nite strutin mi stuff.
2 b quite honist i dont realy care wot sort ov misik is bein playd or when, just so long az itz got a beat im happy, i do preffer the more funkyer an darker proggy setz tho (like Dalek)!!!!!

Dalek's more tribal tough edged house rather than prog i wud hav said???

quite nice wet n hard

I dont ming proggy warm ups, if you know someone like guy ornadel is guna come on afterwards. I also dont mind listening to it while sat doing work. On the other hand i woulndt pay to listen to Lee Burridge and Sander Klienenburg back to back for six hours! the word torture come to mind!

lee burridge has tortured me before.. infact i found him quite offensive and i even used to be quite a big fan.

I once went to the empire the line up was Guy Ornadel and Lee Burridge. When i walked in Guy was already on the decks, he was class as ever then lee Burrdige came on and scared me for life!

ive been to the empire where scott bond played first and then sander k came on afterwards and ive never seen a club die like it

In defence, im not a big proggy fan but i went to the empire to see dave seaman and sander kleinenberg and they both rocked as far as proggy crap is concerned. I dont remember who played first or what i just recall lovin the very tits of it.

i've got both lee burridge and sander k's global underground cd's....

its cos of these two that i hate prog...never used to mind it till they both bored me senseless when i saw em

so i shouldn't put them on tape to listen to on the crasher bus on saturday then...?

dont even make such threats paul!!!

I like prog .... and i like Lee Burridge, a fucking top bloke

so there

oh my god that nite was amazing it was one of the best nites of my entire life, you're mebbes rite the club mebbes did die but i was oblivious to it all me finks, i reckon sander k played a mint set that nite though.
in terms of the proggie argument i think that at the start of the nite its fine, it isnt even that proggie at times though is it, something like that is needed at the start of the nite i reckon rather than launching straight into the hands in the air/banging trance n stuff.
nope me deffo likes the prog at the start of the nite, it also gives a good build up to the main dj and gets everyone all geared up for whats to come by slowly progressing to more trancier stuff, and as for the prog for the main part of the nite i.e mr seaman, fair enough that mite not be to everyones musical tastes but there probs is a lot of people who love that kind of thing so i s'pose the club has got to keep a balance between them both in order to keep everyone happy. although it isnt really a balance though is it cos there aint really many proggy dj's that seem to be on at the mo and trance/hard trance is definitley the predominant in promise sound rather than proggy so we cant really complain can we....??!!! sorry if none of that made much sense by the way!!! xxx

thats wot i mean though...the style nick riley plays isnt bangin/hands in the air trance...its warm up/euphoric almost easy listenin style proper trance and it helps to build the nite perfect!

down with the prog i say!hehehe

oh me aint seen nick riely before so i aint got a clue what he's like well obviously i have now seen as you've just told me but i see your point although but me still finks that a bit of prog dont hurt no-one!! long live proggie dats what i say!!! (in small doses though...!!) xxx

Do you think clubs really need to be warmed up? I prefer for it to be going right form the start i.e. Red and Black 1
