Re: First time listening to progressive

i think Luke Fair is a great option for beginning
it's cooler, they ll catch the wave on first listening.
Music from Sasha or Digweed are more difficult to "understand" for newbies on prog.

yea, well i think people should start where it stated and no where it is now.
Northern Exposure is timeless and if they dont get that they aint gonna get ever.

Re: First time listening to progressive

I tried to get two people into the whole genre with NE1 and it miserably failed! There's no accounting for taste.

Thats too bad because i would have thought that any Northern Exposure would be an excellent choice....

By looking at everyone responses it looks like anyone choice of prog is nice...it all depends on your mood too...becasuse different genres of prog can be enjoyed more by your mood....

my 2 cents

Actually, those last couple of tracks from Fatboy Slim's "You've Come A Long Way Baby" are what introduced me to the techno sound, it was the first stuff I really understood and liked.

Then I progressed to the Orb and Amon Tobin, then Christopher Lawrence and D:Fuse got me into trance, and I spread out into the traditional electronic music genres from there. Progressive was probably my least favorite genre for a year or so.

You just have to face it, most people find prog boring and repetitive, and thats because most of it is. I would just try to turn people on to some beginner electronic music like Fatboy Slim and maybe a burned CD of some anthems like "For An Angel" or Johnny Vicious "Ecstasy". That could work too.

Not true. I though NE was boring when I heard it a few years back. I was listening to Sandstorm and all the ravey stuff that was popular back then. It wasn't until a couple years later that I relistened to the NE series and thought they were brilliant.

Thats the way it works with music. People hear and like whats popular at the moment and if they really like it, then they will go back and listen to the older stuff. God, if someone had made me listen to all the 70's prog rock and 80's hair rock for historys sake before I bought my first Nirvana CD I never would have had an interest in music at all.

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!

Deep Dish - Moscow GU has gotta be one of my favorites. Mainstream enough that newbies will enjoy...but solid house too.

Re: First time listening to progressive

I would recommend Digweed's GU: Los Angeles. Nice and dark. For that matter any set from Digweed's Kiss FM will do.
