im just curious as to how you started listening to *gulp*
i.d.m (shudders).

first i was a strictly rock man (before 'nam), then i heard
stuff like orbital which got me into electronic. then i
heard a comp tape with "4" and "girl/boy song" from the RDJ
album and was turned to the dark side. around that time i
heard "roygbiv" by the mighty boards and got well into warp
stuff...

anyone else? (i know this may have been a previous thread,
but i am newish)

I was turned to the dark side 96 97 something when i heard
"Girl/Boy Song" followed by pushers "Beep Steet" on the
radio.
Before that i mostly listened to dnb and hip hop.

i owe it all to trent and his further down the spiral album,
which includes aphex's at the heart of it all. after
getting into aphex, i graduated to listening to god, aka ae.

15 years ago I was getting tired of all the pop/metal
bullcrap music,so started to listen to Ministry(back when
they were industrial/electronic) and all of WaxTrax
releases,then I discover that industrial/electronica was
exactly what I wanted to listen forever......

Then as the years pass by,I discover RDJ and many of his
projects/aliases and just felt in love with the
IDM/experimental movement,now,that is what I listen to or
better said,very addicted to that...........

I was introduced to both Coil and Aphex Twin through
'Further Down the Spiral'.
'The Downward Spiral(The Bottom)' is still the most amazing
remix I have ever heard.

i was first introduced to electronic music when i was in
vancouver visiting my cousin back in like '97 or so.
he played me some downtempo, drum'n'bass and house stuff.

i overheard someone talking about how something sounded like
aphex twin, and i decided to check that shit shit out!
yep!

before that i was strictly punk rock.

I had just recently "DISCOVERED" electronica and I was
finding out everything about it that I could and I observed
that this Aphex Twin fellow was quite a prominent figure in
the electronica genre, so I bought I Care Because You Do. .
.. and it all goes down from there. (I got into Aphex Twin
only last fall).

I was into Nine Inch Nails way back when Wish came out. That
somehow lead to the dancier side of electronic music. i.e.
Underworld.

I was a member of BMG and had to buy a CD. I ordered I Care
Because You Do because it said something about electronic
music.

To be honest, I hated it when I first heard it, but a year
or so later I gave it a listen again. The rest is history.

A girl put on rdj album in class.(oh yes,school was good for
something!!)
I had never heard something girl/boysong,wich I liked a
lot,
so I asked her who this was,and if I could borrow the tape.
The day after,she had her aphex albums with her for me to
listen to.
aaaah! I'll never forget her...x

My friend Nick Suda introduced me to IDM. I got into it this
year in like january so I haven't been into it as long as
you guys have. Vordhosbn was the song that really pulled me
towards IDM.
