The year is 1906... and the President was the Devine Miss Sarah Burnheart.... and ALL around the country kids were doing a dance called "The Funky Grandpa".... oh I'm a.... Zzzzzzzz..... Seriously, tho... It was Aphex that got me involved.... I must have been a softmore in highschool, I think... and was a HUGE grunge fan (A.K.A. I was dirty)... one of my older friends was into techno (Which I thought was a FAKE type of music at the time, cause I thought it took no talent to write....) Anywho... I heard come to daddy and I was hooked.... I listened to that album night and day... and started my foray into less convertional means of pleasing my eardrums.... I got into Industrial artists such as Neabauten, Skinny Puppy, Meat Beat Manifesto.... and of course NIN... From NIN I started listening to Nothing Records... which in turn turned me on to Autechre.... Squarepusher... and other greats :) Anyways, that's MY story.... what's your's ? |

I was watching MTV Top 10 Banned videos. Come to Daddy was on there. Being a heavy grunge fan back then i fell in love with it. Bought the EP, loved it, Windowlicker came out...clinched it. The rest i found out through curiousity |

I liked the cover of SAW1 when it was first released... That changed everything. Before that I like the Levellers and Metallica. |

Hehehe, oh really? I thought they were pretty friendly at first :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aye, if it wa IDM, you'd have to be immediately turned off by it, and through gradual listening you'd like it more and more LOL.... Hookers are more of a turn on :P that should have been your first clue :P |

i made stupid music/song when i was 13, screamin into a mic and bending my voice over cheesy dance beats so a friend told me 'hey i know this guy who makes weird music as well.. 'so he made me listen to the rdj album. hooked. |
||||||||
|
|

|
i read a review of drukqs in a magazine. I tried the album and i got hooked. |

It was hidden under the bed. The boring version: Saw come to daddy and come on my selector on television a couple of times, when i finally discovered i loved the music, ordered it from local stores, found this website, and all the other geeks reccomendations that got me into bogdan and venetian snares and so on. =) |

Hard to remember. I think it was around the time I started listening to Ozrics and Eat Static and John Peel. Someone introduced me to Sun Electric at school and things just went from there. Sabres, The Orb, Orbital then Aphex. Heard a lot really through John Peel. Heard The Black Dog and others through Peely. I then went out and bought Spanners. Man I was so chuffed to get hold of that tape and I played it non stop. The excitement was just too much. Heard a lot through Peely. Someone who was a major Techno and Hardcore head then introduced me to Polygon Window. At the time I didn't know it was Aphex until he told me it was. The most exciting moment was hearing Polygon Window. That will always be a very cherished moment. I was so blown away by Polygon Window. |

saw come to daddy on mtv. had been looking for this kind of stuff, though i thought it was some sort of new age punk. went out to get the cd, came back with www.pitchshifter.com instead. their single 'genius', which i loved, came out in the same period. i got the ep a while later anyway. a year later i bought rdj album and then in the summer i bought icbyd, but that was mainly to do with the fact that i had heard that the smashing pumpkins were playing it before their concerts. kid a made me look for what i called 'industrial ambient' and i ended up with 'amber', which made me plunge into the apparent depths of idm idiocy. |

i was into the dance and house music in the late 80's and early 90's...got into orbital with thier green album which is an introduction to all good things that followed to IDM |

i heard come to daddy. then i saw the video on mtv. then i saw windowlicker. then i downloaded flim. |
||||||||

Windowlicker video. It just hit me like 'This is the shit I should be listening to'. |
||||||||

I was on a bass guitar forum and a guy recommended Squarepusher to me. I took it from there. |
||||||||
|
|

|
aphex's two tracks on further down the spiral prompted me to buy rdj album. and it was just continual exploration from there. |

Heard music from Risotto album by Fluke in WipEout 64, fell in love with their tracks, went to audiogalaxy (*sighs* the days...) to download them and on the Fluke page on AG it mentioned Aphex Twin as an artist other Fluke listeners liked. Downloaded aphex twin stuff, didn't think much of it at first, then got into it (Flim being the first aphex track I liked). The rest is history. |

I heard Add N to X and Plone on CBC radio one saturday night and started doing web searches - came across with music reviews, discovered Warp artists, heard Boards of Canada samples on the Warp site, was instantly hooked. |

I heard lots of different stuff on Future Music cover CDs. A remix of Silverside by AE called Silversub got me to buy Amber and then Incunabula. I also bought Orbital's brown CD and Kraftwerk's Radioactivity in the same week. -P |

pulse records in horley england the bloke behing the counter played me some aphex twin and i was hooked |

i got into electronic music when my uncle gave me kraftwerk-radioactivity. i guess the first 'idm' music i got was mouse on mars - iaora tahiti (also given to my by my uncle), but at that time i didn't know what idm was. then i decided to join the columbia house music club, so i just searched on the internet for "electronic music" and out of a huge list i randomly chose aphex twin. so then i ordered come to daddy and selected ambient works vol 2 without even knowing anything about them. |

i am surprised at how many people started with autechre. i heard 'windowlicker' and 'come on my selector' on muchmusic. a few months later those titles sprung to mind, get em off napster. found this site, looking for a discog. took it from there :D |

That night my life changed and i had to go out and buy anything with warp writtern on it ,it became an obsession . |

my aunt used to lend me those old compilation cd's with Members of Mayday & shit on it. I always liked that stuff.. and later i got involved into hc/punk and the noise scene. thanx to tape trading i got to know stuff like merzbow, hermit,.. and tried to make some noise myself.heh later an older friend of mine made some ambient/industrial tapes with fsol,etc.. on it. so i went to my local library and there was a copy of Autechre's Chiastic Slide & AFX's Selected Ambient Works . i downloaded/bought some more stuff from then on. |

i had been into things like kraftwerk, skinny puppy, severed heads, depeche mode etc. in the eighties. in 1993 a friend gave me a mix tape with the black dog, autechre, polygon window and other things. |

Read about Aphex Twin in a review of Radiohead's Kid A... yes, I'm pretty new to this shit(e)... and I immediately fired up good 'ol Napster and downloaded Windowlicker, Kickass Violin Solo (lolzerz), Flim, Fantasia, and some other stuff. I remember I downloaded all the tracks that got high marks on some guy's AFX review site... can't find it now. Fond memories, yeah. Sigh. |

kickass violin solo...yeah...i got that off audiogalaxy! hehehe |

videogame music resembles IDM quite a lot, I played a lot of games as a kid |

I guess, first I heard Further Down the spiral, which features Aphex on it, but I didn't know anything about it then. My friend then saw the 'windowlicker' video on MTV and was talking about it at school the day after, but he didn't remember who it was. Then I guess I got into Coil and asked what other artists had good 'ambient' on Audiogalaxy, and Aphex Twin came up again. |

CKY2K (skate video) has "Come to Daddy" in it. I downloaded it and listened to it non stop. It took me a while to get into the actual IDM but after I bought Drukqs I was hooked. |
