I can remember I was a kid and listening to the Further down the spiral NIN cd, after I heard the tracks by Aphex on there, I picked up SAW II. (Weird one to start with I know). From then on I found out about autechre, etc. What about you guys? |

i saw the ventolin video on tv and said to myself: "aphex twin... -> remember this name..." the first time i saw this name again was on a LAN party, someone had the icbyd album. first time hearing it i didn't get much "familiar" with. [and even today it's the album i listen less to, too.] later a friend of mine lend the warp100 sampler in the libary and again i discovered aphex twin (the first track on album, together with squarepusher), so i got totally lost in that warp stuff... [altough that sampler wasn't as got as most other albums on warp] ... listen to squarepusher!!! |

Squarepusher is fantastic. I can't remember how i got into him really. probally through the further down the sprial cd. i hated electronic music (with just cause) until i heard aphex. and squarepusher. and autechre. kid 606....... i'm not a huge electronic fan. i only like a handful of groups/people, but the ones i like, i love. |

I'd have to say i'm a big fan, especially when I paid over $100 for a SAW II on vinyl limited release via ebay. |

Listening to SOSW at home in '92/3. Sounded weird as hell back then - Quoth was the hardest thing I'd ever heard. Then he was on Radio 1 live in Sheffield playing 73-yips and suchlike to a disinterested crowd. Utterly brilliant. |

I was watching some show on VH1; the show made a referrence to "Aphex Twin". I couldn't remember where I heard the name and was curious about it, so I got on napster and downloaded a few tracks. Now I'm into AFX. I started listening to Sublime through a similar scenario. |

i was raised on semi-elctronic music, Brian Eno, Talking Heads, even Peter Gabriel... it was.. natural.... also, when i lived in Russia, i stumbled (literally) a discarded bootleg of The Richard D James Album, in the metro, took it home (becuase i had heard the name many times before), and enjoyed it a great deal... true story. i was already listening to stuff like Mouse On Mars, Bjork and NIN, so, once a again, i was inclined to listen to that sprt of music any wayzzzz..... |

I listened to the "Quoth EP" and was hooked ever since. I enjoy hearing one persons stuff rather than a four-piece band, more emotion... a single emotion... no arguing between who gets to dance to the next 'Nsuck song... ANTI-POP |

I was in Chhicago and I met a 55 year old hobo who turned me on to Aphex the man had the strangest smile I think it might of been Richard!Anywhy we shared a bottle of Boon's Farm and a few joints then he asked me "If he could have my toenails to build a fort with "So I thought to myself because he was so kind I would be more then happy to help him out !THE BARON HAS SPOKEN! |

my friend was into drum'n'bass, and i picked up 'timeless' by goldie, which blew my mind and i thought "i have to find as much electronic music as possible". only aphex has had that same hard hit that 'timeless' did, and that was after years of being hardened by drum'n'bass. basically, i got bored with loops and saw the come to daddy video and bought that and then vowed to own all of his stuff. |

Someone told me Aphex Twin was utterly unlistenable, which i found very hard to believe, so i decided (without having heard a single track by Richard) to just buy the first thing by him i could find - it was the RDJ Album, needless to say i loved it almost instantaneously. Unlistenable? Pah! |

I, like a few of you have stated, first heard his material on the NIN remix CD. I asked a friend of mine who is familiar with a lot of electronic music about him and said he was worth checking out, and so I did. I bought the RDJ Album and haven't looked back. I also now listen to a few other ambient, electronic, and classical composers. Only unique material that proves to show real genious. I don't much like the harder stuff that leaves your head ringing. |

At the time, 93, Aphex was getting loads of press in NME and Melody Maker in the UK here, saying he was the next thing to God and what not, being curious I checked out SAW1, loved it and have never looked back (although I prefer his earlier stuff--but what the hell eh? it's a human trait :) |

I went out to but "The Blair Witch Project" and decided to pick up a cd too. I picked up SAW V2. I watch the movie, which I really like, and get really into this spacey creepy music at the end of the movie (piece called Rigors). Anyways, then put in SAW V2 and notice a similar motif in some of the tunes. I bought it thinking it would be good spacey music but really dug the rhythmn of tracks like "Weathered Stone". Also, it kept me in the same creepy vibe I was in from the movie and took me further. I imagined the music being the soundtrack for the movie in parts that were never filmed. It was very ghoulish (it was near Halloween too) and trippy. |

A friend showed me the rdj album once and i hated it. He left it at my house, and I gave it a second listen. Been a listener ever since. Even tho I am not as devout a 'fan' as I used to be, still got a soft spot for RDJ album and SAW II. And ICBYD, of course. |

I heard "Bucephalus Bouncing Ball" on the "Pi" soundtrack and loved it immediately. I went out and bought the first CD I could find by RDJ, which was "ICBYD" and he became one of my favorite artists... |

Radiohead sparked my interest in electronic music, then I picked up In Sides by Orbital... from there I began looking around on Amazon.com and reading some reviews on In Sides, and I noticed a lot of lists contained Aphex Twin releases, so I read up on him and his cds... anyways, then I went and bought the RDJ album... the rest is history... :) |

I've always been a fan of electronic music and the name Aphex Twin was used heaps of times and I knew about Aphex for a long time without ever buying a CD. Then I seen the On video and loved it. So I continued through life knowing of and enjoying the videos of Richard but not owning any CDs, no stores I went to had any. So last year (2000) we got hooked up to the net and I went to cdnow.com and ordered ICBYD. I remember what I thought after I had heard the first track "That was a real song, not just some crazy noise thing I was kind of expecting, and it sounds excellent." And then ever since he's been my fave artist :-) |
