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. :>

mhtrtc (1998)

drukqs (2001)

I ve explained this in some other thread

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 ;)

of pounds later... bigger cd collection. ;)

when i was purely into metal/rock music, and my opinions of
electronic music had been severly tainted by the crap that
was in the charts/on the radio/on tv...
a friend forced me to listen to inculabula for which i am
forever in his debt

I was watching AMP(an electronica showcase that used to
come on during the early hours of the morning on MTV) when
all of a sudden I see this dog pissing on a televison. I
think you all know what video Im referring to.

When my best mate started saying about some Windowlicker
video being fucked up and great. I was hooked from there
really.

Points: 19190 Status: Moderator | Show recordbag



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.

before.

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...
