So what was the first album of electronic music that you
ever bought, stole, or borrowed?

Mine was either Prodigy - Fat of the Land or Crystal Method
- Vegas, I can't remember which I bought first. Don't give
me shit, I was a freshmen in high school and hadn't had much
exposure to it before.

I was listening to electronic before I got A CD player and I
dont remember what it was, but the first techno cd I bought
was Junkie XL's Saturday Teenage Kick.

i think it was Prodigy's 'music for the jilted generation'
that or underworld - 'uh.. dont remember which one'
actually, both of those were borrowed

the first one i actually BOUGHT myself was photek - form and
function

Hey that's a cool question. I remember all that fun
stuff...getting into electronica and the sounds. The very
first thing was hearing a radio program that played deep
house music (early early BKS, Love Inc., etc). Then one
night a song came on called "Block Rockin' Beats" by the
chemical brothers. I begged my mom to get it and...well Dig
your own hole by the Chem. Bros was my first electronica cd
and cd over all. I bought DP's Homework right after that.
I got Dig your own hole when it came out so I guess back in
'96 or so.

Well, in the late 80's I bought a few House music tapes
(hey, i'm in Chicago after all), but I don't think that
counts. I'm really not sure if it was The Downward Spiral by
Nine Inch Nails or Xtort and Nihil by KMFDM, I bought the
latter two at the same time.

My first electronic album was the self titled album by
orbital. I had several mix tapes i had put together before
that. Thank god for late night college radio! go 91.7 !

for a long time i did not even listen to music because i
could never find what i liked until. i usually only saw
bits and pieces of afx's come to daddy video but never
really knew what it was. it wasn't until the breathe by
prodigy that i decided to look for what i liked and it has
came down to this.

I remember Amp! that show got me started on the right path!
I remember seeing the video for "Second Bad Vilbel" and I
couldn't pronounce Autechre's name (I wrote it down as
"Autreche") but I knew somehow that they'd end up being two
of my favourite music artists of all time.

depeche mode- music for the masses was my first. up until
then I had been strictly heavy metal, punk and hardcore.
Oddly though i bought it because i kept seeing all these
people( mostly hot chicks) wearing all these DM shirts( a
concert had just passed through from that tour, it peaked my
curiousity and converted me.Now mostly electronic is what I
listen to but not exclusively. Some people on this site are
way more into than I am. I mean even Aphex is cool, but
these people that call him "god" freak me out.

Umph, must have been Pet Shop Boys "Please" in 85? Then it
was Depeche Mode... The first electronic "instrumental"
music must have been Art of Noise. A great band, indeed!

Wip3out 2097 and Rage Racer for the PS introduced me to it.
Wip3out had some good tunes by Cold Storage, and Rage Racer
had some nice DnB tunes by a japanese artist. From there
came Wip3out XL and Orbital.

I remember hearing Halcyon & On & On when I went to go see
Mortal Kombat in the theaters.

Otherwise, I must say Wip3out's were an excellent beginning
step.

Ultraworld. It was only a year or two later that I started
buying Aphex Twin stuff.

My memory is pretty dim, it must have been Human League's
"Dare" on cassette back in 1980 or so. I guess that
qualifies as electronic.

I'm a bit embarrased to admit I liked the Human League, but
I seem to remember that the album wasn't really so bad ...

I suppose in the eighties the Human League were pretty cool.
Anyway, there wasn't much decent electronic music around in
those days...
