So what led you to Aphex? I went from sitting in my bedroom at 12 year old (1989) tuning into Pirate Acid House stations and listening to Stu Allen on Key 103, through to drum and bass in 92 then Aphex in 93 onwards...I got into Ae about 95. I got into hip hop in 93 too when I heard Protect Ya Neck by Wu Tang. |

i was wirking at a college radio staion a few years back in NYC, as the music director. the RPM music director, popped on the rdj cd and i liked it! then in the next couple days he walked in with the come to daddy and windowlicker videos and i was hooked! at the time i was really into irish music, still am but i got hooked on that rdj album, so much so i stole it from the staion, along with other cds at the time, i worked at a radio station thats what you do! then i went out bought the videos, and come to daddy ep. from there i bought ICBYD then moved back home and hed trouble finding his stuff up here, found enough to keep me happy though1 |

Hmm, come to think of it, my story is really boring. No big revelations or epiphanies. I just saw an interview with RDJ on MTV, back in '92 and he sounded interesting. |

i heard music by rdj in early 90's, but i didn't get into it at first. i was listening to all kinds of electronic music before. when i bought my first susumu yokota's album, i was totaly impressed-so i read some articles about him.most of critics compared yokota with early music of rdj and brian eno.and because i bought some rdj albums before i discoverd yokota i started to put more attention to those, and since then im an rdj fanatic. so thank you susumu yokota hehe |

btw i liked come to daddy, windowlicker, ventolin,on and some other popular tracks by rdj before yokota. |

It went something like this: Musical Youth: Pass the Dutchie -> Abba -> Meat Loaf -> Pink Floyd -> Talk Talk -> A Guy Called Gerald: Voodoo Ray -> Black Dog -> Aphex -> other Warp -> etc I make no apologies for my starting points, but bear in mind that I was 12 when Pass the Dutchie got to #1 :) and I didn't know any better. |

One day, in the middle of a small but hard-fought ground war, there is a small squad of soldiers sitting on a hill. A radio message comes in, and is taken by the communications officer, a sergeant. He says, "Right, men! We have to take that hill over there!" And so they start fighting to take the hill. They fight all day and all night, and most of the next day, and eventually they take the hill. Just as soon as they've taken it, they receive another message on the radio. The sergeant takes the message, and then says, "Right men! Retreat back to that hill!" And so they retreat back to the hill that they came from. When they're safely dug back in on their original hill, one of the men goes to his sergeant, and says, "Excuse me, sir, but why did we fight all day and all night to take that hill, only to have to retreat again immediately? It seems bloody idiotic, if you ask me." The sergeant frowns, and says, "Well, you see, you don't get to see the big picture. If you saw the big picture, you'd understand." The soldier starts thinking, and works hard, and after a while he eventually gets promoted to corporal, and then to sergeant. On his first day as a new sergeant, he asks one of his fellow NCOs, "So, what is the big picture, then?". Sorry that was just a shaggy dog story. I heard him on amates walkman in maths class. Love at first hear. |

listening to my mother's music - classic rock, 70's 80's pop listening to what was popular - 80's synth pop, 80's hair/heavy metal listening to what I bought - grunge, industrial, metal, 80's pop ... which led to - techno -> subgenres -> IDM - industrial -> NIN -> Ministry -> back to their influences - metal -> hardcore/punk -> grindcore, black metal, etc. without getting too specific... that's it |

I started off listening to whatever my parents played from radio stations. Then for the longest time I didn't listen to music whatsoever. Once I found out that kids in school tried talking to me about music, I had no clue about what they we're talking about, so I started listening to the radio. That got me hooked on some more Hard rock/Metal/Punk stuff. Rap just wasn't my thing. nirvana>prodigy>metallica>trance>radiohead>afx Its a lot more complicated that what I listed, btw. |
