First time listening to progressive

[FM]

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!

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!!

Great thread.

I vote for Deep Dish - Rennaissance Ibiza and Cass' Spundae Mix.

Re: First time listening to progressive

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.

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

I always pop in Jimmy Van M's Bedrock CD1 for any newbie...

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.

I'm partial to Digweed's Essential Selection from February.

Jenks thanks for approving my topic.

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.

Digweed Bedrock. POB's 'ba ba - humate remix' could do the trick...

Deep Dish GU - Toronto

Re: First time listening to progressive

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've gotten about 20 people hooked in with airdrawndagger and james talk sets

Re: First time listening to progressive

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.
