my friends uncle bought him Ambient works Vol2. We both hated it at first but slowly got to liking it. Then i got vol. 1. And every album was soon to follow.

i had that same problem. his style was pretty consistent until he made RDJ album, and then its hard to tell that the same person made Ambient Works.

There was a compilation album called In Order To Dance and it had Didgeridoo on it about 1993 i think. Anyway if anybody has In order to dance 4 or 5 i will furnish your palm with credits for it.

i found a comp tape made by a friend of my brother. that had '4' and 'girl/boy song' on. then i got the RDJ album on the strength of those (cos i loved the fast tempos and kiddy keyboard sounds).

I saw the music video for Come to Daddy, wanted to hear more, but the store did not have the Come to Daddy cd at the time, so I bought the RDJ instead. I was taken back by how it was different at first, but discovered that I was really into it.

embarassing story, kind of. i accidentally bought Ventolin when i saw the "aphex" and thought that it was apex theory, i had just gotten back from a stabbing westward concert where they opened up for them. i showed it to my brother and he said, "hey, that's not apex theory, but i much better band. let me have a copy of that." and i listened to it and gave it a go. ever since i've loved 'The Aphex Twin'. =D

Bought Kid A... read the reviews talking about the Aphex influence... downloaded Windowlicker and a few I Care Because You Do tracks from Napster (remember THAT?) after finding a little review site about Aphex recommending tracks... wish I could find that site again...
Anyway... that's it. Heard Alberto Balsalm and some others, and I was hooked. This was Christmas 2000, I believe.

Went to see him live and it was fucking amazing. Definitely one of the best nights I've been to.
After that I got a copy of Selected Ambient Works vol I and Surfing on Sine Waves from a technohead friend.
That's how it all started.

yep. Me n' the boys caught that old aphex bug back in '98. Things were a lot browner then, browner than nowadays. Anyway, ma'sweetheart told me a story 'bout some Richard D Famous CD or some such i dont really remember the boys name, but i do remember the pie we had that day. Mmmmmm that was damn fine pie, all brown and filled wi'apples. Momma dont make pies like that no more. Not since she dead four year ago. We burried her up on the old hill. She always liked that hill. Least thats what we decided, seeing as she always spent her time up there with uncle Jack and uncle Bob, and sometimes Giles the watermelon farmer... and sometimes nanna Gertrudes son Jimmy...
Yep.
