      yeah a nice one there. also Taylo Synesthesia popped into my mind. maybe it's the platoon-esque opening.
      also, CASS Fire/Prologue is a nice album.

        ive always thought about that.. when people come over to my apartment and im listening to some stuff i think is really good... they dont blink an eye. i think they're crazy, they probably think i am

        id probably play a noob the usuals.. northern exposure etc. maybe tranceamerica (dont mind the name, its one of my fave progressive cds ever still) before moving them on to some jay tripwire or something


        note: ive also found that selecting stuff like chemical bro's, prodigy, crystal method (stuff theyve probably heard a little of on the radio) is a pretty effective way of getting them to at least listen

          Deep Dish - Renaissance Ibiza is an old goody, but I don't think it really matters what you put into the CD player, if they don't have an open mind then theres no chance. As long as they don't complain that it's the same beat over and over & don't say that it takes no talent to make music on computers; we'll get along fine.

              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.
              there are some youth group/Christian et Al groups that do throw raves, events, etc. STRICTLY for the music!!

                  try out my progressive flagships:

                  way out west 'the fall' /bedrock vocal rmx in particular/ - probably one of
                  the greatest proggy tunes ever recorded
                  way out west 'the gift'
                  anacrusan 'in my mind'
                  pete heller & ted patterson 'big room drama'
                  echomen 'perpetual'
                  shmuel flash 'chilling moments'
                  james holden 'one for you' /brancaccio & asher rmx/

                  and favorite live sets/EMs:

                  john digweed EM 2001
                  john digweed @ twilo anniversary 2001

                      I'm just squeaking each time DM rmx starts buzzing as if I were an ed sullivan show participant in 1964 with 'the beatles' as a guest

                        I've played Disc 2 of GU Seaman Cape Town to a few non-prog people and they absolutely loved it.That disc is a really accessible piece of prog-trance IMO.

                        I also got people hooked on Athens CD1,but then again that is a bit of a 'house-party' disc.

                        I would also add that anything by Deep Dish would be good,as they always play some quality house/prog that is very accessible to the new listener

                          I would start with Deep Dish - GU in Toront.
                          After one or two weeks I would come back with Jimmy Van M - Bedrock.
                          After this start he/she would be a progressive house fan...

                            agree with you here! I used to try and share what I loved musically with those who weren't into it. I don't bother any more, waste of time IMO. I share now with those who ask.

                                i actually gave one of my unbeliever friends a listen to day and started him off on MMII then introduced him to hybrid. he really got into the hybrid stuff so there may be home....

                                tomorrow i might introduce him to GU 22 see how we go
