Just curious to hear which was everyone's first Aphex album, and why they nabbed it? Mine was "...I Care Because You Do" and I got my sister to order it while she was ordering her crappy music (Def Lepard?!) from Columbia House ... I was interested because I loved the Aphex Twin tracks on my Further Down The Spiral disc ... and thought I'd give this creepy looking fellow a try - glad I did ... I then bought "Richard D. James" right away ... and then bought "Come To Daddy" and "Windowlicker" when each of those came out ... and over the past year since, I've been grabbing everything I can ... "Selected Ambient Works 1", "Selected Ambient Works vol 2" (which still blows my mind!!), "Caustic Window Compolation", "Analogue Bubble Bath's 3 and 4", "Surfing on Sine Waves", "Singles Collection 51/13" ... etc PS. Did that thing with "Mike Pop's Orchestra" ever happen?? |

At first I saw AFX on MTV's 120 minutes or Party Zone, I dont remember. Some years later, when I started to gain money, and access to music stores, I walked in, and tried to buy SAW 1, but they just had Classics... Not a bad one either :-) Then ICBYD, and RDJ Album. That's it. |

excellant topic!! 1995 i found ventolin remixes, 11 remix cd at teh store. i bought it took it outside,to my car, opened it and there was no cd in it :9(, i took it back in and excanged it for the last copy they had. i listened to it a lot. but didnt listen to idm for a while, til ICBYD came out then i got into idm music. i must have thought industrial and techno were more important at the time |

The first time i heard aphex twin i was stoned out of my mind..my brother put on milkman, and i had no idea what he was saying...i thought he was speaking french...i couldn\'t stop laughing...it was great...after that, i bought the richard d. james album, and later i got the rest, that were available to me...SAW2 is probably my favorite...Yeah...its too bad he doesn\'t release more of his stuff... |

i first heard the rdj fellows music on a really crappy car stereo, the persons who's tape it was (a bad recording) who was also driving, didn't really know much about the artist and i commented on how good the music was, but i didn't really like the tune that much....it was digeridoo...never really like dthe tune, maybe it was my experiences in oz that did it, but anyway, i wanted to listen to more of his stuff, i was really into plastikman at the time, and i went out and bought selected ambient werks1! WOW, it really did it for me, hit the spot with a certain tenderness that just stroked my innerds into a clamed relaxed controlled in tune, new look of music....i was extremely excited about discovering this new genre and artist, and i have come a long way sionce there, have met a lot of new people and have a lot more tastes in idm... monolake ae metamatics bochum welt anthony rother....just to name a few..L8R |

The Windowlicker single with the video on it was my first AFX-experience. I saw Windowlicker on MTV and I was stunned! Weeeird video and even weirder music! I also make music, and after I heard AFX, my music has gone another way! (thanks for the inspiration) Now, I own the following cd's: Classics, SAW1, RDJ, Come To Daddy, and the Windowlicker single. They're all great! I hope Richard wil release new music. |

to tell you the real, full truth--the first RDJ song i ever heard was Windowlicker. which was followed by Come to Daddy, then Girl/Boy Song. i don't know exactly why, but Richard D James Album was my first purchase. I loved it upon first listen. Unfortunately now i can't find it...sigh...i bought SAWII a month or two ago. I hated it first, but the legends are true, it REALLY grows on you. Now i listen to it every night. |

First I got RDJ album cause I thought "Come To Daddy" was on it and I had remembered a long time ago the music video to it. Then I bought Come To Daddy EP, then ICBYD, then The Classics, then Analogue Bubblebath 1 and most recently Caustic Window Compilation. All of his stuff kicks so much ass, no one compares to the master of disaster RDJ. |

i've got one song that i've written, and i kinda styled it the way that rdj did in Ageispolis... just with the way the bass has a short solo in the middle, and the snare hits the upbeat. the song i wrote is still primitive though... i need to smack it around in cakewalk abit. i'll put it on my site if anyone is interested... but keep in mind that it's not done yet... I did it with an MC-303 |

i started a few songs with an aphexy sound. one i have has a bouncing ball effect, another one has ambient piano in the background with that screechy sound heard in at the heart of it all. my stuff seems to have more of a beat presence than his stuff. |

yeah, i think it's cool how he's started this whole little cult of ppl like us who use screen names that are names of his songs or like his name or whatever, and we are making music like him and shit... it's like he's started his own genre. |

well, as somewhat of an up and coming musician myself, I think its very good to be inspired by other musicians, but I also feel that anyone who has a healthy interest in music should never style themselves after another musician, sure, be influenced, but don't go so far as to copy anyone elses style, make your own music, you all seem like intelligent people, listen to your thoughts, and put your own beautiful sounds on vinyl, just an opinion. |

same thing with me, i started really influenced by aphex and fast drumbreaks, but my music is totally different now. The last album i worked on was the first to have a full theme, politics- just basically my frustration with politics at the time, i did something really neat too, i took a short sample of a flute and (by accident, really) made it into a whole space-like symphony. It sounds really eery, and i dont know how the hell i made it that way. I also made waves of crescendoing fuzz, that were inspired by my bloody valentine, but it doesnt sound really much like them. |

I had access to MTV's AMP which had a girl/boy song on it. Then i tried to find out information on how to obtain it. I grabbed the RDJ album via good ol CD. |

i bought SAWII on a whim. i bought a brian eno cd and liked it and wanted more...and for some reason SAWII was out on display at borders...and it was 2 discs so i picked it up and i've been hooked since |

drukqs I bought it cos I read about it being amazon.com electronic music record of the year I had no idea about aphex before that, but I know I had seen the rdj album front cover sometime in the past |

| |||||||||

My first Aphex was "At the heart of it all" on NIN's Further Down the Spiral. I was all "woah" and then my friend jason bought "i care because you do" and we were at his house listening to it and i was all, "omg" and then when "Alberto Balsalm" came on i was all, "wtf, awesome" and i was a fan from that point on. the year was 1994 ish. true story. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it was Surfing on Sine Waves, and I bough it as a result of getting On and Quoth on a whim - I had heard his stuff before on one of the New Electronica compilations, and the Jesus Jones remix. I was hooked, and still am 12 years after. |
||||||||
|
|

think it was probably come to daddy |
