Sponsored review: www.progressivetrance.net

Progressive Trance Network have requested a review via ReviewMe, the sponsored review site. I'm probably not the best person to do this as I've no real idea what Trance music is, let alone progressive trance and I've also got something of a track record for going off topic. Still, I'll do my best. Or thereabouts.

According to progressivetrance.net: “Progressive trance music originates from the combination of psychedelic trance and progressive house and has a distinctive sound softer than normal trance and harder than normal house music.” So now you've all pinpointed the genre, let's dive into the site.

The problem is, there isn't actually a great deal to get your teeth into, even if you're a progressive trance nut – and let's face it, who isn't? Progressivetrance.net offers some profiles of top progressive trance DJs and artists, but these contain less information than you could glean from Wikipedia.

Other than that, it merely provides links to other sites for various services. Want to download some MP3s? Here are some links to sites that do that. Want to know about some prominent progressive trance record labels? Here are some links to a few.

There's a shop, but it's merely an affiliate program for Amazon. Progressivetrance.net don't provide anything themselves, they just take a percentage of the Amazon sales that are made through their site.

There's also a news section, which contains links to news from various blogs. Unfortunately the links are poorly coded and many just lead you to a page of HTML or plain text rather than the original posts.

I'm not very impressed.
