Well if you know of their current music tastes, just serve them remixes

Here are some, not exactly trance-y but excellent (and fairly recent) ones that spring to mind:

'N Sync - Pop (Deep Dish Club Mix)
Frankie Goes To Hollywood - Relax (Saeed & Palash Remix)
U2 - Elevation (Paul Van Dyk Remix)
Radiohead - Everything in its Right Place (Hybrid Remix)

Vaggelis

not sure but i think if someone listened to The Eternal - jose amnesia they would like trance, or at least the song. just a thought

sandstorm has got a lot of the rednecks around here somewhat interested, I dont seem to get as much "turn that crap off!" when I have that one playing. I try to expose them to songs they have heard before but didn't know they heard them, A lot of BT songs have been in the background of commercials and TV shows, I sit them in front of MTV when they have some show on and identify the songs they are playing in the background. Sometimes I take a different approach by introducing them to some other genres that they somewhat recognise and gradually play more trancey stuff for them, starting with some basement jaxx and then some of the stuff from the MOS ibiza 2001 compilation CD1 then fatboy slim and daft punk stuff(they recognise some of that) then I throw the good stuff at em.

Well I think Gouryella - Walhalla is a good one for that. Also System F - Out of the Blue, CRW - I Feel Love (Dumonde Remix) and any Binary Finary. and can't forget FOR AN ANGEL!!!

Wanna recruit trance lovers hit them with the best. I find that most ppl who are listening to trance like vocal trax better but this is not always true. Anyway here's a list i'd play :

Paul van Dyk - For an Angel
Armin - Communication (Vincent de Moor Remix)
Bedrock - Heavens Scent
Rank 1 - Airwave
Delerium - Silence (Tiesto Remix)
Thrillseeker - Synaestheasia (Vocal Mix) <- The en Motion is better
Rising Star - Touch Me


Hmmm could name a 100 more but if they don't like this stuff then they probably won't enjoy good trance music.
