I started my electronic career with Massive Attacks No Protection, Björks debut & Trickys Maxinquaye. I was about 14 or 15 back then. A little later I bought Hard Normal Daddy cause the cover was odd and that got me into that whole warp thing.

Umm...heh. Aphex Twin started it all for me. Yes, I was a big fan of Nine Inch Nails. I owned Further Down the Spiral. I really liked the two tracks by RDJ. It didn't really go any farther than that, though. I was talking to my sister's boyfriend, and he said that I'd like Aphex Twin, and I was like okay. Then he sent me lots of Aphex Twin songs. Then one day I was looking at the information of the tracks on Further Down the Spiral and it said At the Heart of it All and The Beauty of Being Numb were made by Aphex Twin and I was like..."amazing." Yea.

I got Come To Daddy. I have always been into alternative music tho, anything odd I was into. Come To Daddy was an impulse buy after recognizing his name from 'Further Down The Spiral' I then got the RDJ album. I also impulse bought Hard Normal Daddy expecting some retro raver oddity and thought it was fucking shit when I first heard it. I came back to it after I got my head around the RDJ album. So it was kinda thru my interest in Industrial (that I don't have now) and rave. There you go. :>

summing up: I bought boc and I liked it, but never worried about who they where or the label.... so it was like an island .... but then drukqs really got me into idm and all this crazyness

My first contact was with seeing Aphex Twin's On and Ventolin videos on MTV's Chillout Zone around 1995. I didn't actually start acquiring any until 2000, when a girl called Pascale arrived at a party with a CD full of IDM mp3s and changed my musical world forever ;)

After Kid A came out, I read a review about how Thom was listening to Aphex Twin, so I downloaded Windowlicker and was unimpressed for a few days, then I downloaded a bunch of other tracks (from I Care Because You Do in particular) and loved it.
This was all on Napster, with a 56k modem.
It took me a long time after hearing Aphex Twin to bother getting into other IDM, though, like late 2001.

Well, it was in school. A friend of mine had brought a tape and decided to play it. What I heard was the most aggro and weird shit of this world (Come To daddy, pappy mix), but somehow I felt that I wanted to explore more. At a time there, I was almost afraid of playing that tune. ^_^ So when I got home I downloaded a couple of tunes (Ophex-style, Napster, modem), and after hearing Girl/Boy I was stuck. Then BoC, then a little Autechre, than a little this, and a little that.

i'd just started college and a girl from cornwall had SAW1 with her. It spread like a particularly happy virus round the halls and dominated heavily until the Suede debut came out.

I was cycling home at night, when suddenly a bright light started following me, closed in on me, and finally I was bathing in white light....
When I regained consciousness, I was lying on a table, with headphones on.
The sounds I heard were odd, as were the aliens surrounding the table...
