this topic has prolly been used a 1,000 times but what the hell.
it's weird i just rediscovered all of my old electronic albums that i listened to when i was like 10. i put in fat boy slim we've come a long way baby and i'm listening to it with a new kind of thought. back when i use to listen to this i had really no idea how he made this or what that sound is and now i can be like, "whoa that's a tr-808 snare hit" or "i like how panned that beat". it's like i'm looking at music in a way i never have before. it's weird how idm makes an impacte on my life.

I was never into electronic before IDM... I never listened to Moby or Fatboy Slim or the Prodigy, I just dove right in with Aphex, Autechre and BOC a year and a half ago.
It hasn't really changed the way I listen to music, really... the Beatles did that, they really showed me what you can do if you've got huge amounts of talent and creativity.
But getting into electronic opened up a whole new underground full of nice stuff to get into beyond rock. But I prefer my classic rock Beatles/Doors/Floyd/Stones/Who phase to my electronic phase.

I listened to Photek & The Future Sound Of London. Then I went into Aphex and from there, everything else. Never got into the more 'dancy' stuff such as Fatboy and Prodigy though.

As far as electronic music, I started with Aphex and didn't explore much more until a couple of years later. PReviously I was into rap, R&B, funk, industrial, and some classic rock. Discovering electronica changed my life a lot, I feel like I finally found music that perfectly expresses how I feel, which is why I'd really like to get better at creating it. I'd hate to think of how my life would be right now if I'd never fallen into this music.

idm really makes me a different person from the crowd. i'm not the normal everyday person who likes punk rock and rap, i'm a very diverse person who enjoys very diverse music.

i can't tell what any artist is using for equipment (though i did like reading about boc and what they use), but it certainly has changed a few things around. i appreciate music more. all kinds of music. i don't know how, but maybe because since most of my friends think electronic just as weird, and i can see it as much more, i look at things, i guess you can say, with wider eyes. i love music now, as opposed to just having something on in the background, i pay attention.
plus i was playing go plastic in my truck 2 days ago and my friend thinks if i keep listening to this music i may kill someone. heh heh ... i call it my serial killer music to scare him
