Good idea.
Unless they happen to be a Stockhausen, Mingus, or Phish fan. Then you've got a problem ;) |

Yeah like phisheads are gonna change. The band just broke up recently it's not like they're banging at the door to get into Space or Crobar or something like that.
Try to think of making up huge lists. One song is not going to do the culture justice. |

| For someone new to electronica, the first artist I'd introduce him or her to would most definitely have to be BT. I still have a hard time deciding till this day whether ESCM or MISL is the better of his two best albums. The man has taken this and that from so many genres and fused them together that he practically touches on every genre of not just electronica, but all of music when it comes to his productions. Because BT in his productions is so diverse I'd probably wanna show said newbie that like BTs productions EDM is diverse as well. From there it'd probably be the best of the best in terms of recorded livesets to showcase awesome mixing and track selection which are other bigs in the EDM scene. The Magik Series comes to mind. |

Why thank you. The way I see it, the more the merrier. More diversity means more listeners, which means more clubs, which means more parties, which means more good times for everyone. w00t. |

You kidding? I would say that was FAR from representative of trance... it's just a simple commercial dance tune. Also I dunno how big it was over in the states but it got #1 over here back in 99, just about everyone's heard of it... and most of them aren't trance fans, go figure. |
9 P.M. was a big hit in dance music over here in the U.S., but it wasn't famous to the people who didn't listen to trance. Most people in U.S. don't even know what Trance music is. It's not Europe. |

Suprisingly good list here. I might give them some Nick Warren instead of Astral Projection though.
For girls, PVD, Armin, and Ferry Corsten (The last 2 with pictures attached). |
lol, Pauls not the prettiest item in the book is he, then again nor is Tiesto, but i'd sling them straight in at the deep end with Tiesto. But i think Ferry is an excellent bridge between popular stuff, and the better of the trance world. |

You got a good point there. BT is has a range of styles that seem like they cater more for the mainstream.
Kind of like Oakenfold. To me he (Oakey) used to be good in his heyday but once he went commercial it just didn't keep me. An artist can go commercial but when they style changes for the worst in that newer crowd it just isn't the same.
And going commercial isn't a good thing too. So many pop artists come and go out there in the real world it's not funny. |

It would have to be the XPander EP. Sasha's original stuff is amazing for melodies, and that's what most non-trancers look for right away. There's so much going on in the music that its almost classical.
Anyway, it was my first taste, and it reeled me in. :tongue3 |
