I got 2 things for you:
1) You seem to be pretty keen on the 'progressive house' genre. Ive seen it lots before at the store and all. What makes house 'progressive'? How is it different from deep house, hard house, etc?
2) I don't know if you were being sarcastic but I really did not agree with what you said on that message board (you got angry at that guy that called elec. music repetive and all). I don't agree with this:
"And the fact that you normally don't like electronica except when you're high does not bother me at all, because that's how everyone else is, too. Except for the people who don't use drugs, and for them, they never like ANY electronica."
I do not do drugs when I listen (and I don't do drugs anytime) and have enjoyed electronica for a good 6-7 years now. I don't think you NEED to ever take drugs to enjoy it...just another branch to go on if you so desire.
Don't start a drug conversation.

WTF?! Why would anyone need drugs to enjoy electronica?
Yeah, I listen to electronica a lot when I'm on drugs but it's not better than when I'm not on drugs....

Hmmm, here is my description of proggresive house:
PROGRESSIVE HOUSE IS SEX WITHOUT AN ORGASM.
It doesn't even climax or buildup. It makes everything else seem cheesy, it almost seems aloof of all the other genres. It is the COMPLETE opposite of hard house. Yanno how hard house has all those acid breakdowns and predictable peaks and such? Well progressive house totally omits any of that cheesiness.
THE PURPOSE OF PROGRESSIVE HOUSE IS TO KEEP YOU GRIPPED TO THE MUSIC WITHOUT EXPLOSIONS OR CHANGES IN TEMPO OR RELEASES.
I think the only real way to describe it is sex, except excluding the orgasm part. Everything before the orgasm and the climax towards the orgasm is what progressive house is like. Somewhat repetitive, true, but steady, smooth, and flowing. It is capable of keeping your attention all by itself.
If you want to check out some of this so called "progressive house", get Global Underground 018, John Digweed in Los Angeles. The best progressive house dj set ever. On cd, anyway.
As for question 2, I was referring to people who go to raves. They only enjoy the music because they are high. If they were completely sober they wouldn't enjoy the music at all.
Try to understand that I wasn't refering to electronica fans like you and me. . . I was refering to people that go to raves or people like the first guy who started the topic.
And "except for the people who don't use drugs, and for them, they never like ANY electronica." Well for that you can take most average people. My older sister (as was aforementioned in my "Techno hater. . ." topic), absolutely hates electronica. I'm sure if she was drunk and high though, she wouldn't mind it all that much, and might even enjoy it. However, she does not do any kind of drugs, so she never enjoys any electronica. Being drunk, would not alone make her enjoy electronic music, though.

I listen to it both when Im sober and when im not.. I enjoy it greatly on both occaisons but find that I like it even more when im high, but that's just me, I think it can be different for anyone. We must celebrate diversity! We must stand up for what is right! I have a dream! (please dont take these last few sentences seriously or as mocking the good Dr.)

We Albertans are quite amorous fellows, I'll have you know. Fellow www.aphextwin.nu/mb user "Rephlex" first got laid at 13 (he's from Edmonton), and that was by an 18 year old chick!!!
O.o
And Spoonz. . . well, he's also from Edmonton but he's only 13 and obviously not as depraved as Replex is, so his lack of sexual experience is justified, I suppose.
