im old and i got into electronica quite late..i remember listening to radio shows which were presenting early electronica tho (i was into rock music at that time) and i remember listening to one hour show and thinking how similar everything sounded..like they'd play only one song with slight variations. but that's the case with every genre im not focused on nowdays as well. same goes for people that aren't into electronica - they often tell me everything i play sounds the same to them. oh and electronica in this case is 'idm' i guess..because i listened to some other electronic music before the whole idm thing (kraftwerk, jm jarre). |

i remember watching a rare noisy video and going soon to a record shop looking for something by a band called 'aphex twin' or similar. i got an album with a silly sleeve and handmade artwork called 'i care because you do...'. extremely strange, imo... when i heard it, i immediately hate it. it was cheesy and boring. i leave it for too years at the deep of a cupboard... and then... |
||||||||

My sister was playing Underworld, and I thought it was kind of boring. But then her boyfriend sent me some Aphex Twin, and I thought that was pretty good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was putting aside afx for a very very long time..i listened to autechre before aphex :) |
||||||||
|

|
|
i bought super trouper by abba when i was 9! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, nice, compared to that pop song i got, abba is ace :) |
||||||||
|

walked into advance vision in rathmines, autechre's amber was playing, asked what it was, recognised the bandname (another irish guy on irc was always raving about them) got confeld. thought it was shit. still do to this day. (apart from pen expers, always loved that). then i got some aphex (come to daddy ep and drukQs). and that was that. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, you made me remember... how nice it was when i went every week with some money looking for some new stuff by that aphex twin wizard. sawii, rdj album, come to daddy ep/video... every new album was different, new and better... oh, those incredible old times of naif expectations... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what was it then? come on, spill the beans! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you wouldn't know it :) it was a real popular song overhere in those communist days..that song might have even won the eurovision contest though. and sadly i can't even remember artists name anymore..i could look it up but you surely wouldn't know him.. |

i was alone in the room with my uncle at the age of 12. he put it on and i was scared. he said it was ok and people do these things all the time. he also told me never to tell anyone. |
||||||||

|

hahaha. no wonder you're such an upset lego. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah it was one of my freinds who bought the classics with the aphex twins and we listened to it and thought it was really hard to melt and played it on our youth recreation centre and played pingpong and every body else wanted to shut the music down |

Me too! My older brother broke up with his highschool girlfriend and it was such a sour breakup that they didn't return each others' things. He borrowed her copy of "Images: The Best of Jean Michel Jarre", and I got to keep it because I was listening to it a lot. It was not too long after it came out, so I guess I was eight or nine. I liked the Pet Shop Boys and Dire Straits a lot at the time. |
||||||||
|

|
|
haha, i was 8 at that time. it was in 1983 and the artist was daniel popvic. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
HAHAHA :D if you're interested you can listen to that song |
||||||||
|

I wish I had that on premium vinyl this second! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, you haven't lived in a communist country have you. it was almost impossible to get any foreign records, especially for an 8 year old :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but i guess i could still decide to not get it at all in the first place. i had strange taste when i was 8. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wasn't joking Tolst! and I've lived in quite a few communist countries I'll have you know. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i'd send you the vinyl but i have no idea where it is.. you ever lived in yugoslavia? |

a-ha i think. (electronic? they use synths alteast..) i was a big a-ha fan when i was very young. but i've been listening to "real" electronic music since i saw 'Aphex Twin - On' on Sky Channel in 93 or something. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a-ha on cassettes. first cd i bought was probably prodigy - the experience. |

the first electronica I ever heard was 2 mp3's on a friend's computer; milkman followed by flim... I thought milkman was funny and then flim blew my mind. That was about 3 years ago, and ever since then I've been hooked. |

first experience of electronic music: one halloween when i was just a wee lad, i'd just got back home with my mum and bro my dad took all the lightbulbs out the house and played tangerine dream really loud and it honestly scared me shitless. it was pretty neat tho really, and i am a fan of tangerine dream now...... first idm track i heard was becauphulus bouncing ball, someone just had it on their walkman at school and said check this shit. it was just so different and then i had really never heard anything like it and it was so genuinely phresh.... been hooked since |

I come from the school od thought that calling it electronica is stupid and pretentious. Its not really anybodys fault when they use the term, cause they been conditioned to do so, but electronic sounds so much better. And it doesn't make you sound like a fag on X. |
||||||||

it happened gradually. i was listening to air, prodigy and chemical bros like stuff. saw come to daddy on mtv late at night. really liked it. went out and bought saw 1. the rest is history. |

I don't wanna make this a long-winded story, but the two greatest seeds of my exposure to electronic music are the Wipeout XL soundtrack and the music video series AMP on MTV. (They actually played Aphex Twin and Autechre on MTV, imagine that!) Fortunately, I still have small remnants of AMP recorded on VHS. |

Big Beat. Prodigy, Chemical Brothers and that sort of stuff. bought a techno compilation thinking some of it would sound like prodigy (poison was on there). most of it i thought was crap. but a few tunes caught my attention. mainly digeridoo by our man aphex and LFO - LFO. thought digeridoo was really "something else", trippy. i didn't dig out for any more at that time though. in '97 everything changed with a ep i got called 'come to daddy' by Richard D. James. still is my favourite cd of all time today. changed my perspective on music. made me more open to all kinds of cool stuff. i also got into trackers at about the same period and discovered dnb. got heavily into making/listening to jungle mods. |

Bored with the underground Bay Area rap scene and my favorite group at the time, the Insane Clown Posse, I was looking at some Amazon.com lists for electronic music and Aphex Twin's Richard D. James album came up again and again. I decided to give it a try, and my first memory of it was cracking up extremely hard with a friend at how stupid we thought it sounded at the time.... Needless to say it grew on me, and pretty soon "IDM" was all I was listening too, for about 3 years. My friend on the other hand still laughs at it to this day. Just recently I got back into ICP a little bit for their Hell's Pit album and tour (which was fantastic, best show I've ever seen... people can say what they want about them but their stage presence is unmatched) but my love is and probably forever will be the sounds of Autechre. Confield is my favorite album of all time. |

when i was 5 years old my father used to videotape videos that were running on mtv partyzone at night. he played them to me. i remember flashback by ministry, james brown is dead by l.a. zone, many the klf videos and lots of electronic artists with colourfull computer videos whose names i dont remember and some oldschool hiphop. ministry and the klf were my favourites. i really liked the music very much. i remember before he started to tape electronic music he played some slow pop-rock to me that was running on tv and i thought "music is boring, there IS no interesting music". but then: MINSTRY + THE KLF. |

i do remember watching techno videos on mtv, late at night, in the early 90's... but, honestly, i didn't like a single one of them - i hated the music and really just watched it because they were so weird to me. i wish i could remember the name of the program that played these... anyone remember? |
