Do you remember your 1st Aphex Twin/AFX/etc. CD?What was it , and do you remeber getting it and what you thought about it? Mine was Come To Daddy, I put it in the CD player at the store and after listening for a couple of minutes thought "this kicka ass!"I rushed home and played it full blast, non stop until I got another Aphex Twin CD, cant remember what it was though. |

SAW II was my first ever. i remember getting it at a downtown store, i was so excited about it....that record makes me think a lot. Most of the first ideas and sketches for my architecture projects have come from that album. *wee_boy drops a tear for the memoirs* |

rdj album. when i first listened to it, i thought it was the weirdest/craziest shit (not in a good way) i had ever heard at the time. i thought about returning it right away, but decided to keep it for whatever reason. months later, after trying autechre's lp5, my second idm purchase, i listened to rdj album again and realized all the talent that went into it and was happy that i didnt return it. now, i miss the feeling i felt when i first listened to the rdj album. it was completely different from anything i ever heard before. |

my first aphex cd was SAW85-93 for wich i waited 8weeks to get(ordered by amazon), then i first listened to the whole album i wasn't suprised, it was nice but not very special. after some weeks i found Come to Daddy EP in a record store and this was the cd wich made my head to explode. then i understood this music more. |

My first afx ..... : I borrowed this tape from a friend ,with rdj album and hangable autobulb I on it. The day after she gave that tape to me, I was in a record store,and they had only one cd by aphex twin. it was Come to daddy e.p. I was so happy! I bought it,without listening and knowing aphex twin for only one day... =o) |

I was 16 and some guy on irc from finland sent me Alberto Balsalm.mp2 Some days later I phoned and ordered ICBYD.. the girl in the record shop said "oh, so you like aphex? then maybe you'd like this squarepusher guy too". Must be my best purchse ever I think :) |

My first Aphex experience was the RDJ Album. I felt dirty and used afterwards. |

Digeridoo EP somewhere around '93(?)....the red one,with the boomerang on it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it was '97. i read a VERY postive review about Come To Daddy and i told my girlfriend (x-girlfriend now) who was into AFX that I wanted that CD. She then bought it for my birthday, and now i have 16 AFX cds ...well 18-20 this week when i get my hands on On & Ventolin Remixes (+ maybe AB1/AB3) ...CTD is still my fav. AFX CD! |

SAW 85-92 was my first. |

SAWII |

|
|
have you heard SPACE by the KLF? normally bundled with CHILLOUT |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I got Come to Daddy but I didn't really like it all that much at first. I started liking Aphex on the next album I listened to, RDJ. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The first time I heard of Aphex Twin was in Select magazine in 1995 with the headline: "You don't have to be mad to work here but it helps" and rdj mentioning that using drugs in the studio is just like using a different sequencer. I steered clear from him for ages. The next thing I heard was in Select again in '97 about him creating "the most disturbing video ever". I just thought, this guy is fucking sick! Then in '98 I thought I'd download this "Come To Daddy" song and was blown away. I listened to that, Alberto Balsalm, Acrid Avid Jam Shred and Windowlicker many times as mp3s and only in '99 did I decide to buy an Aphex CD. I was in France in fnac and I got SAW II for 128F. No idea how much that is but I think it was quite reasonable. Since then I've been trying to buy everything of his, within my budget. The last thing I bought was HAB1 off ebay, haven't got it yet though... |

It was funny buying Or Some Computer Music just because of the Aphex track and finding out that the first track on the CD was by someone from Augsburg (Hecker, half of cd_slopper)! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My first Aphex CD was the RDJ Album... but it didn't matter. I already had the MP3s. Now downloading his stuff the Christmas before last was REALLY good... hearing his tracks and albums for the first time from Napster was a turning point for me. I guess the first stuff I got from him was mostly from the I Care Because You Do album, so that's really my Aphex intro album. I miss not being new to him, it was great exploring his stuff. |

Classics(very raw, pounding and dark) |

classics is a fantastic cut - i know a lot of people here don't like it! |

I'm probably gonna sell my Aphex Twin stuff at a car boot sale next week. Its a bit noisy for me. I prefer Moby. |

SAW 85-92. i think my dad bought it actually, and i found it kind of boring, but i really liked green calx. my dad buys a lot of cool shit though. |

My first AFX CDs were On and On Remixes. |

ICBYD was the first album i bought. i did buy MTV's AMP before, that's what got me into RDJ. i remember i think i got it on halloween of '98 i played it all day and night and i handed out candy to all the lil trick or treaters with it blasting on the stereo in the background. it is very delicate getting into RDJ stuff. i was very into just the dnb shit early on i picked up SAWII and promptly sold it back with no delay. stupidest thing i ever did cuz i had to steal it back after hearing some tracks on my launchcast player recently. now i love any and everything RDJ. i want it all! |
||||||||

|

i care because you do. that was it for me, really. hooked from then on. |

i got DrukQs late last year, and didn't exactly like/understand the offbeat rapid fire IDM stuff that much. i started listening to it, picking out songs i liked here and there, and wound up liking more and more of it, so i decided to go back to the roots, SAW 85-92. i liked a lot of this also, being a little easier to listen to but still amazing from someone that was 14 at the time (still wondering which tracks he did at which age.) after that, i started snagging most of the major afx releases on cd, actually BOUGHT about 11 afx cd's so far. after about 3 or 4 years of swearing off wasting money on buying cd's because you could find music off crapster and everything i was into was mostly rehashed boring crap, i finally found something worthy of spending money on because i didn't want to be bothered by just having the 'singles' or trying to piece together full albums from separate mp3's. the only regret i have is not being part of the 'community' back when RDJ and ICBYD and the like were newer. |

RDJ was my first. I thought it was a bit strange, and way too short. Now it's my favourite. |

I bought drukqs last year, but I had gotten into afx before, because I had a lot of mp3's. I adored vordhosbn right from the start. then I got into mt saint michel and a few months (and 7 afx albums) later 54 cymru beats was and still is my absolute afx favorite |
