I think that's a real "horses for courses" question.

"Palace Springs was a major part of reviving my interest in HW and bridges
the old & new quite well; thus, probably a good choice for either lapsed
veterans or others who have a more "vintage" aesthetic. However the number
that made my 16yo daughter prick her ears up was the title track of QS&C.

It boils down to a question of "Who are you trying to impress?": Get their
attention with whatever seems most appropriate and then fan out from that
point, so maybe Epoch is the best place to start since it covers the widest
span of material.
