Time for another suggestion of mine to get refused  This may sound strange, but I think Deadmau5 should be on this site at least in prog related. Why? If you just have seen him compared to talent-less Dubstep musicians, don't judge him based on that. He isn't anything like that he is a true experimental electronic artist. Even though he mostly only got popular for the song 'Ghost 'N' Stuff' that song doesn't show his true music.  Yes, his albums 'Random Album Title', 'For Lack of a Better Name', and '4x4=12' have a base in progressive house, but his early albums and his two recent albums are very experimental  Samples: Get Scraped: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOnDccBXfyQ&list=PL9E6B43BE871C63D2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItnnFbGpRSw Vexillology - Fustercluck https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp9WtnqaN88&list=PLZR0BOsWf7ADzgpQeZAX39rKpEt4dUJxP&index=4 Project 56: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCgqKsYbrHI Album Title Goes Here: Take Care of the Proper Paperwork - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_DXXEJ8Wl4 Sleepless - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2L599fMDPI While (1>2): Creep - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2L599fMDPI Ice Age - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DqGITpAak8 Terrors In My Head - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR82yjGSScc Somewhere Up Here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5qkHj8GE1k Gula - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GC_9-YCdrN8 I hope these are enough samples, I hope you consider the addition |

Would you like for me to copy-paste some posts made by Sheavy and myself in The Orb thread? ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

I saw the posts, but this isn't a similar artist. Anyways, I think the description for prog electronic should be much more clear about what exactly it means. For me it seems no more bands can be added to that section. If it's only included due to Krautrock bands, then I think that should be specified.

Sorry for double-post, but did you happen to listen to some of the samples?

There should be an "Electronic Not Accepted In Progressive Electronic" sub-genre

May as well be, since I can't get any clear answer to what prog electronic exactly is according to the site. Seeing as The Orb perfectly fit the description but still isn't excepted

OKay, I'll attempt to 'deconstruct' the given Progressive Electronic definition and why such artists like Deadmau5 and The Orb don't fit the definition. I'm not the one who wrote it (Philippe did) so there is a chance he might disagree with things i'm about to say, but I think not. About the ending summation "To sum up things, the progressive electronic subgenre is dedicated to intricate, moving, cerebral, intrusive electronic experiences that get involved in "kosmische", dark ambient, (post) industrial, droning, surreal or impressionist soundscapes territories." Before I was a team member I suggested loads of outfits for Prog Electronic and have used this blurb on more than one occasion (it must have surely sent Guldbamsen running for high blood pressure pills). This blurb doesn't apply to every genre of electronic music. It applies to what has been defined as acceptable to Prog Electronic in the preceding paragraphs. The Orb and Deadmau5's respective genres are not to be found anywhere in those paragraphs. They don't "get involved in" Berlin School, Industrial, or Drone/Ambient/Abstract Soundscapes. Here are some samples from bands named in the definition and the type of Electronic that would be accepted. Mother Mallard's Portable Masterpiece Co. - Kluster - Michael Hoenig - Peter Frohmador - Lard Free - Zanov - Maurizio Bianchi - Francesco Cabiati - Robert Rich - Ian Boddy - Christine 23 Onna - Zombi - Robert Henke - Andrew Chalk - -------------
