Just as subject says. What tracks/sets would you play to a person who never before listented to progressive, or any kind of trance/house musice for that matter?
And what do you consider the must-hear productions?
I always pop in Jimmy Van M's Bedrock CD1 for any newbie... I acutally gave a copy to a youth pastor on an airplane a few months ago. he was so excited about it that he actually told me that hre was going to play it for his entire youth group!
NE1 has got to be the dogs for starting people off. Saying that i recently played all of the Luke Fair@Moonpark to a group of non belivers and they loved it!!
I wouldn't play anything from Sasha for first timers unless they were rolling their nuts off. I remember when I first heard Sasha I thought it was boring. I've played the Orb's "Orblivion" though, and people seem to like that.
i played "Sasha - Involver" for a few friends who were into other music, and they really enjoyed it due to Sasha's use of more "palatable sounds," i.e.--his use of guitar in the shpongle track, etc. They mentioned it was more musical, which I agree with, but also understand they usually don't like to set foot outside their 'comfort zones' and challenge themselves musically. This cd seemed to let them "ease-in" to the progressive pool.

I notice that most of the stuff listed is rather chill.
I myself have played Airdrawn Dagger and GU Dipdish in Toronto(for it was the only audio cd with prog I had) to couple people - it got them interested. Perhaps, any track or set would do with the right presentation.

We need more youth groups like that! The salvation is in music(sepciffically prog). I would be down for going few times a week on daily basis.. if we'd listen to that.
