A friend of mine wants to hear some of the music I listen to (aka aphex) and she's female, so which do you think she would find most enjoyable as an introduction? I'm not going to start her on SAW2 or Drukqs or anything.. |

Try SAW85-92 or ICBYD. Then melt her. |

i think "Richard D. James Album" seems to be a gentle, agreeable start to this kind of music. |

Haha, who said I was interested in her? I think just a compilation would probably be best, that or RDJ...maybe. hmmm |

anything. really. if she is going to like his music, shes going to like it. i mean, even if she doesnt have a good first impression, if she is intrigued, she will try again. see, i am a girl. the first time i heard richards music, i thought it was too noisy and deconstructed. after weeks of riping, i finally fell in love with bucephalus bouncing ball. and that was it. what was i saying? |

Yeah, thing is, a lot of people don't have the same will power if you see what I mean and could be put off something they might otherwise enjoy if they give it more of a go, and certainly some of his music is more accessible than other stuff he's done. |

even if you start off with the "accessible" stuff, she will eventually hear the other stuff. do you want her to just like the more "accessible" tracks? im just thinking here and i dont really know what im saying. dont shoot me |

Umbriel, the reason I got into the other stuff is probably because I heard the accessible stuff first and got more and more inquisitive..of which I'm glad =) |

Or you could just say bollocks to it, and jump her straight in with Come To Daddy and then perhaps shown her the demonic faces in the mathematical equation track, thats how i got my mate started. |

i dont find this thread offensive but i do find it a annoying that some of you think that girls will live aphex twins music going through a different door than guys. thats a a tad bit ignorant. i tried to get some of my friends to listen to mr. james music and the only two who have shown some kind of interest were two girls, and they heard the noizy and the more relaxed shit too. |

i dont know any girls who know of aphex twin.. (at least not in person) but then i only know 2 people of either sex who do so.. but ur right umbriel, its ignorant to just assume that girls have to be introduced to afx through a different door.. |

I'm not meaning to be sexist, its just a lot of the girls I know aren't really open to new kinds of music. *This* one is, but I myself (a big aphex fan) gradually got into some of the harder stuff in stages, rather than going in at the deep end. |

It all depends on what king of music she likes in the first place. If she likes heavy music, play her come to daddy or somthing rough like that, if she likes mellow, play her something more ambient. Give her something that she will be familliar with |

RDJ album absolutely. before i ever went out with my gf she liked aphex. she only owned saw2 tho, but thought it was a masterpiece. then again, she has a genius level iq, 3 degrees, and is a few years older than a lot of you. she recently got drukqs and loves it as well. so if the girl is smart and loves music, those 2 might work best. for normal girls try RDJ. |
