Re: The album that introduced you to the Music you listen to
When my boyfriend was just a friend, he recommended me Tourist by St Germain (Ludovic Navarre). Since now I'm mainly into jazz and all its varieties

A DEEP HEAT compilation back in 1989 which i bought cos it had a tune on by an outfit called Black Riot called " can you feel it" or something like that.
I remember it well it had an orange cover.
I was about 14/15 and it was my soundtrack for drinking cider in the park.
Ahh happy days...

This is SO weird - that was mine too. It had an orange and blue cover. This album got me into the music I am into now. I also got Deep Heat 1990. Both were on cassettebut I have no idea where they are now.
I was only 11 at the time
That's the one!! It was a double cassette and i lost the second cassette!!
It had "bango (to the batmobile)" and Fast Eddie. I think i had the 1990 one as well - was it a "best of" compilation?
Probably a mix tape (remember them!?!) that i bought in Cult Clothing in Birmingham at the age of 17 back in 1993.
It was either Sasha or Jermy Healey and was by some label called "Rooster" who used to do a load of the dj tapes.....this is before the days of mix cd's by the way.
I played it in my car and all my mates were like - "whats this mike, its well cool....i like the way there aren't any gaps between the songs!" How naiive we were. 
Soon after that Renaissance the original mix by Digweed and Sasha came out and changed everything. 8)

I don't think it was a best of compliation
Since I have seen you post that 'Can you feel it' tune has been in my head 
Did the 1990 one not have 'Move you body' by Xpansions
and You've got the love - by Candi Staton Following Deep Heat I think I moved onto the delights on Hardcore Ecstasy
Moby - Go

Yeah the first Renaissance Tape was awesome (although personally I think the 2nd Renaissance album - a 3 tape affair by John Digweed was even better) but for me the first album that defined the music I listen to now was Ministry of Sound The Sessions Vol 1 it came out originally on cassette in the summer of 93....mixed by Tony Humphries I still occasinally listen to it now.....London X-Press moving into Shakespsears Sister "Black Sky"....lovely... 8) 8) 8)
I used to love the song "The Gift" by Way Out West, and I still love Way Out West, probably the first album that I actually bought of theirs was "Intensify". They are responsible for getting me to start listening to dance music originally. I still love that album, but now my fav djs have to be Deep Dish hands down.

There wasn't particularly one album, as I had no money when I was 10, but when Pete Tong came on in 1990-1991 then I was confirmed as liking dance music until it doesn't exist
DEEP HEAT... ive probably still got them somewhere probably at my mums house unless she threw them.
I'd say deep heat then a few hacienda tapes also hit the decks.
My faves were the ones i did when i was about 14 or 15 i used to watch mtv party zone when it first arrived and i used to tape the tracks off it onto a video cassette. I used to wait there for a track i wanted with the button on record/pause this meant you had an almost flawless cut into the next song without the music stopping the added bonus is that you got to watch the video's which were usually pretty basic stuff and lots of phsycadelic colours and computer graphics. I wish i still had that video it had stuff like voodoo ray, chime, pump up the jam and loads of others
I think i did 4 or 5 of them and on the back of the video case i had all the tracks listed with a mark out of 10 and i used to cut stuff out of magazines to make the front cover of the Video box.
Them were the days.

My conversion to 'decent' House music came from two things: Paul Woolford's DJMag CD and seeing John Digweed. I played House for a number of years, but mainly darker stuff. I saw John Digweed playing a sound I, at the time, was pushing, and literally fell asleep. Sounded like he was playing one record all night...
Then I heard Wooly's CD and it was something completely new for me. Never looked back 8)
