read a very positive review of come to daddy in an icelandic music paper 'undirtónar'. i had also enjoyed 'digeridoo' on a compilation called 'this is techno'. My girlfriend (at the time) liked and owned 'I Care Because You Do' which i had never heard. I told my girlfriend i really wanted to hear his new release, come to daddy. so she bought it for me for my birthday (dec 1997), and it's been my most played-out cd since. |

i bought RDJ album because i had heard a lot about aphex twin, and decided to pick it up since i was at the store to pick up new deftones anyways. i listened to the album all day afterward. |

I thought Aphex was a God at the time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I saw a video of windowlicker on MTV and I looved it from begining. I bought Druqks, Richard D. James Album, Come to Daddy and other Aphex Cds. I`m thinking about buying something from Ae. What do you think ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i would think no. i'm not a fan of theirs. they have some good songs, but nothing AMAZING that has grabbed me like squarepusher, aphex, boc and plaid. that's my opinion. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nothing amazing? you need to go back and do your homework. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
tomi check out Vose In, Draun Quarter, Secone Scepe, Rotar, Rpeg... those are some i'd recommend |
||||||||

opinion respected. but thats crazy. im not even anywhere near as big of an idm geek as some of my friends, but to say nothing is amazing. wow! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
(totally agrees with acidwash) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the artificial intelligence comps had really fucked up album art. that alone striked my curiosity. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
vose in, uviol, vietrmx21, bronchusevenmx24, overand, silverside, crystel and others. i think they are all great. but it doesn't compare to stuff on of such brilliant albums like RDJ album, HND and MHTRTC. my opinion! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i would think no" i take that back. i might buy one or two Ae albums in the future |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think i'll just wait for "best of autechre" triple cd album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
....I read about afx in may 93 and bought "SAW 85-92" that summer. Still one of my favourite cds! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I never bought IDM, I just bought music I liked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RDJ album becuase I heard windowlicker,.. and RDJ album was the only legit afx cd I could find |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
depends on which I consider my firs idm album (see my post in the other thread) but considering drukqs my real first introduction into idm I bought it cos I was searching amazon reviews and I saw that drukqs had been chosen as the electronic album of the year 2001, so I bought it the next day I saw it at the store |
||||||||
|
|

Kid A got me into it. I read a review for that album where they mentioned Windowlicker, by, you know, that guy. So I downloaded it on the old Napster and was sufficiently blown away to dive into the genre. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
do you still play radiohead? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Not much. I still think they're great, and probably the very best mainstream act going right now, but they're just not my thing anymore. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my left eye tried to move into my nostrils.. thats why |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
was already a fan of Hi-NRG in the mid 80s. listening to peel every night widened what i was exposed to - more minimal less commercial electro/house. music seemed to progess a lot around 88/89 when hardware became affordable and people started to be able to make their own music in their bedrooms. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i started getting into electronica right after kid a was released. first track i downloaded was "nine" by ae. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and about radiohead, i think if theyll ever want/need to make some weird avantgardish uncommercial great music, theyll do it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
seriously, i had not heared much music before getting into idm i used to be into punkrock when i was 14.. before that i didnt really buy cds/listen a lot. I used to record crazy stuff (still do) like screams and pitch bended music.. so a friend said 'yeh shoud listen to aphex twin, he makes weird music as well' so he played logan rock witch for me.. when i got home i downloaded some random tracks and did a web search i found aphextwin.nu and thats how it started. |

i was interested in chric cummingham and came across come to daddy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Friends I suppose. Though listening to radio in Detroit the highlights of techno mixes always seemed to be early Aphex Twin stuff or early Plus8 material. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i read a review on drukqs in a (free) magazine (i forgot the name). I was familiar with the name 'aphex twin', but i didn't know any of his songs. So I downloaded the album, got hooked, bought the album. |
||||||||

Is Prodigy' Experience an IDM release? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Same here, Kid A got me into the whole IDM thingy. Actually, around 2000 I had an incredible explosion of my audio experience in music. I must have bought over 200 CD's that year only. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
365/200=1.825 CD per day without repetitions! Damn, you must have had lot of time to listen them all! btw: Kid A is one of my fav releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wow. i don't even have 200 cds |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"we is having" about 60 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in my case, i knew commercial trance, it bored me, i listened to less commercial trance, it bored me, i started to listen to fatboy slim, the prodigy, leftfield, underworld, fatboy slim and the prodigy bored me, i read on the internet reviews about albums, and i found a review mentioning aphex twin calling him "the mozart of electronic music" so i was curious and checked him out... same with the rest i know |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my friend brought me over to his computer one day and was like "mike you need to check this music out" he put on 'milkman' and I thought it was funny and was intrigued. Then he put on flim, and my jaw dropped. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i did a search on yahoo for "electronic music" and randomly selected "Aphex Twin" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah well I bought 200 CD's at least that year. It was really a big explosion of "What really is music" compared to before. I was kinda stuck on my father's music, which was either the Beatles or Pink Floyd. I discovered everything, from Johnny Cash to The Velvet Underground and John Coltrane and Miles Davis and Autechre and Bob Dylan. Gosh I bought like just 40 Dylan albums that year only! ;-D |
