sort of. he set things rolling in a new direction for me when i heard ctd. i bought some dub, drum n bass and prodigy before, but discovered squarepusher, afx´s backcatalogue, µ-ziq and many more through napster by tracks entitled "ifyoulikeafxsquarepusher..." along came xltronic and spoiled the rest of me .-) |

Yes, I was 12 at the time too. My brother played Vordhosbn to me after coming home from his first trip to the UK in 2001. I found it all to be pretty weird to be honest, but I guess it might be down to the un-matured brain and crap Walkman headphones.. I was much more interested in em:t and Global Underground during those early years. |

No you can't really draw a hard line between Aphex and everything going back to Throbbing Gristle and related, and everything in the 80s post them, Kraftwerk, Voltaire etc. |

idm? usually it's other genres that flow into it like a cauldron. the progidy and moby's go/ambient, that sifted into aphex/squarepusher. so it was on the coat tail of techno/ambient that brought me to various experimental artists. eh |

i pirate the afx mp3 and it defines my life with melody i am an aphex twin with my pocket aphex schwinn |

dug poo electronic music for a long time when i heard afx i thot good was busier, took me a while to get past that |

As for electronica generally, I came via Jean michel Jarre and Chemical Brothers before finding Orbital and then being introduced to the Warp/Reflex repertoire by friends after that |

this is just my opinion and stuff: * first three are sort of a box set to me :: Experience was fast and experimental :: Jilted was medium fast and more deliberate in construction :: FoTL there was a massive leap in tonality, sonic sheen etc, curious why. but the songwriting was tight as ever * Temper popcorn farted, I remember literally hearing the moment of fart in the school computer lab. Prodigy was on vacation yo * AONO is sort of like if Wagon Christ's SIMYL album had failed harder. That liam chap really should stick to his roland W-30s and just reverse strings forever. Moving to reason really watered down the quality and intensity. It is not a bad album, though, and I do listen to it sometimes * Invaders, the songwriting came back. I dunno if he went back to the W-30s or just got better at Reason. Still not as good as the first three. yep |
