mine was spanners by black dog. i remember getting this on cassette from Andys Records in lincoln when it first came out. at the time, which was 1995 i think, all of my mates were into raves and the like and i used to go along as well. i put it on in the car on the way to one of these raves, everyone looked rather confused at me. i was told to turn it off because it was "undanceable." what was the first record you purchased of the electronic/idm music thingy? |

Aphex Twin - Richard D James album, purchased it in 2000, shortly after graduating high school. |

RDJ Album. i remember the first time i bought it i thought it was the most stupidest thing i ever did. hahah then a couple weeks later i would put my head against the speakers just to feel the bass! |

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 got me started off on the right foot and it's still my favorite of his |

polygon window surfing on sine waves got me. then all the artifical intelligence comps that came out shortly after stirred my interest in other forms of electronic music other than detroit techno. |
||||||||
|

come to daddy, as far as i remember on 2001 |

Aphex Twin - Richard D James album I still remember what it felt like after i listened to the entire album. Laying there, relaxing and letting Boy/Girl shred through the quiet surroundings in my house. After hearing that song it was over. I became a huge fan! |
||||||||

||||||||

chiastic slide. upon first listen i thougt: wtf!!!!???? by the time the second track started my cat must have thought the same and ran out my room (probably because of the highpitched sounds) cipater was the first track which started to make sense. after that the rest of the album soon followed and i got hooked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
of course I bought lp5 again in early 2002... and its one of my 3 fav ae releases (I have most of them), |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
um, so you actually had taste in music back in '98? 8-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol back in 98 I listened to massive attack, tricky, portishead and lots of british and spanish pop |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
enrique ingleseas? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"massive attack, tricky, portishead" there you go...brilliant (btw, i was listening to same music at that time) i love the fact that you didn't like autechre then 8-) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is there gonna be a new portishead album this year? i don't think i could name 3 more similar artists if i tried |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My first IDM album ( i mean the first i bought ) was also Richard D. James Album : i couldn't stop playing it for a month. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think so...but they said that for the last year too. anyway, you know a band called denali? it's also melanholic music and the singer has similar voice to beth. they don't use as much electronic sounds as portisehead tho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no, when I mean pop, I mean kind of underground pop los planetas la buena vida le mans el niño gusano manta ray sexy sadie nothing that ever surpassed spanish frontiers |
||||||||

|

|
|
Richard D. James Album. Doesn't seem cool to praise that thing now, but I still think it's excellent, and it's aged wonderfully. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
underground pop? isnt that an oxymoron? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, if you're into underground music for a long time, you probably start thinking of some bands as pop...maybe :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how would you catalogue.... lets say... Pulp? wouldnt you say its pop? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
indie maybe? they were part of that scene, they became quite popular for a while when they started to write catchy pop tunes. then after they went back to doing what they were doing to start with. |

Drukqs (2001), still my favourite idm album. |
||||||||

Fantastic choice! |

Brothomstates - "Claro" |

That was AE' Amber - then I went to Dark Woods listening to Foil... Portable music systems are some kind of a blessing! |
||||||||
|

My first IDM album was... ... AE's Peel Session 2 ! It was cheap, and it was just after I read about Thom Yorke linking AE to his Kid A record. It was released in Nov. 2000, just after Kid A I think, so that's why it was easily available in stores. It was alos cheap. I hated it! |

I bought Richard D. James in like 1998. I had a drawing teacher who said the sounds were like a jackhammer dancing on his skull. If I was a throwing out or selling cd kind of guy i probably wouldn't have it now. I could say the same thing about the Pixies "Doolittle" (bought the same week, I think) and now I own every pixies cd there is. |

Geogaddi the day it came out. Heard "Everything You Do Is A Balloon" on the net in summer 2001, and that was my intro to IDM. Downloaded mp3s until Geogaddi came out, then went on a buying spree not long after. |

wow.. it's amazing how many people claim RDJ Album as their first IDM purchase. Incidentally, it was mine too. Bought it in either summer of 97 or 98 when me and my cousin were shopping with his mom for school supplies. My cousin bought the Cardigans - First Band on the Moon and I bought Aphex Twin - RDJ LP. What an amazing purchase.. I kinda knew what to expect, but in another way it was completely new. I'll never forget that first listen when the wonderful opening chords of '4' blasted through my Walkman. Ahhh! :) |

first was Drukqs, but it didnt get me into IDM music..i just bought it cuz i wanted some different music...later i bought Go Plastic, thinking it was something jazzy..as somone had recommended me Music is Rotted..when i was looking for some fusiony-jazz, and Squarepusher sounded interesting to me..and boy was it a surprise to when i listened to it for the first time...it triggered me to find some other stuff by him..and dloaded a few tracks of Hard Normal Daddy, which blew me away..also about the same time i started to listen to BoC...and here i am..posting stupid posts on some messageboard..and spending a fortune on records...damnit... |

For me it was WindowLicker that i heard in a MTV commercial. Then i downloaded that as a MP3, but in 2002 when Druqks came out i bought it. When i first played it i though, wtf? i spent 24¤ on this?. But after a while it did grow on me and now i love it. The next purchase was Go Plastic because the track "Red Hot Car"... 2 years after i have a bunch or records and i'm addicted. |
