my first aphex experience came in the autumn of 1993 when i first heard selected ambient works volume and universal indicator - SAWII just blew me away - i was only 17, had started smoking hash more, was about to take my first LSD trip, and when i look back at that time, it was fucking ace, and aphex twin provided the soundtrack. |

"On" on MTV I think. -P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Our record store got a promo for On and that was the start for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
a lot of people heard On first huh? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
my first encounter with Aphex was from watching MTV's AMP about 5 years ago when i saw On, but i wasn't all that impressed, but i was further promoted an Aphex fan when i saw Come to Daddy on another daytime show on MTV. |

I joined a metal band a while ago (im a bas player.......everyone should do bass - its the best!!)...and the guys have a really REALLY broad music taste and they've introduced me into loadsa new music including electronic music which for years i never appreciated cos i had only heard "boom boom boom" ned music,lol. So now im pretty intrigued by it all. |

I'd heard the name Aphex Twin bandied about since 1991... then about 93 some friends got some stuff and I got to hear some, think it was 'On'... then 'Daddy', some eps(vent..rhubarb...boygirl...licker) and left him till 'Druqks' and rediscovered things I missed... |
||||||||
|
|

I read some article about Kid A in late 2000, and downloaded Windowlicker, because of something Thom said... And obviously, fell in love with Richie on the spot, sigh... |

I'm having this conversation with "Jedi Chris" on MSM at the mo, here's a transcript! Ceri JC says: I came in from a club at about 4am a few years ago and "Come to Daddy" was on MTV|2. My friend knew who it was and that's how I knew the name of it. Ceri JC says: I forgot about it (but I thought it was a good video). About a year later one of my friends bought the video and a couple of the more accessible releases. I heard them and bought copies myself. Chris says: ...and did you think . . "Hmmmm thats the weirdest thing I've seen - I gotta get me some more of that!!!" Ceri JC says: I then bought other stuff and liked it so much that I just bought anything new by him in Spillers Chris says: ...you beat me to that answer... Chris says: I see! Ceri JC says: I then ordered all available stuff I didn't have from the record label website and pre-order all his new stuff (get leaked mp3's from the AT site community). Chris says: That's a fair enough answer to my question! I hope you didn't mind me asking. It's just, that I don't think it is for me! As I mentioned before to you I did like some of the tracks on the early cd.... Ceri JC says: Only one of my mates likes it (and him not as much as me, but he really likes 'Drukqs') and one of my brother's mates likes "Come to Daddy". My brother likes some of the more relaxed stuff like "Alberto Balsam". Some of my flat mates also like *some* tracks and have Mp3'd them from me |

I was introduced to AT by a South African friend of mine in '97. He played Cornish Acid for me one day at school and I've been hooked ever since. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i was just getting into sqaurepusher.. so all the websites mentioned aphex twin too... this guy recommended windowlicker (which was like the only track he'd heard from afx) then of course, i was hooked |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
My brother played alberto balsalm all day long on repeat about 6 years ago, one year after that I was whistling it out of the blue. One year after that I asked him what it was. One year after that I typed "Aphex Twin" into a search engine...and that was the beginning of the end. |

was working in a coffee shop in 97 or 98, a regular let me borrow ambient II, come to daddy, and girl/boy.... done! |

well, i had heard the aphex remixes of nine inch nails' work on further down the spiral many years ago, but didn't think much of it at the time. indeed, i liked it, but not more than that. this past summer, a co-worker named steve loaned me i care because you do. i ripped the disc immediately and was amazed. since then i have aquired a few discs (RDJ album, C.T.Daddy, drukqs, windowlicker, and i just got polygon window surfing today). I will eventually get I.C.B.Y.D, too. I think Aphex Twin is a pure genius who creates intensely dense and beautiful music. I am very very happy to have discovred this artist. And besides his genius music, I love his hilarious interviews. joey |

91-92...it's all a bit of a blur...used to hear ABB1 & Didge at raves and parties..Me mate made me a tape of various tracks that I thought were by diff people....turned out they were all by AT... (Wish I still had that tape as I'm sure there were some tracks on there I still haven't heard anywhere else...)... And listening to late night Colin Dale/Colin Favour on KISS FM... Outer Limits... Then I saw the CD single of Didge and the rest is history... |

i first heard AFX on this mixed artist CD i got from a russian magazine called ptooch. i was so taken by it i went and researched AFx untill my fingers began to bleed.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
damn jand, that kinda tape would be priceless! i would love to hear a copy of it!! |
||||||||

I heard the come to daddy ep a year ago at a friend of mine |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
marlowe? are you nostalgic or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i found this compilation tape that my brother's mate had made, oh, way back in er '98. that had 4 and girl/boy song from the RDJ album. i really love the sort of childish sounds on that album. coupled with the insane drums. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
strange, cos those are my fave two aphex songs i think (and the RDJ album is my fave idm album of all time). i've got most of afx's back catalogue now, and nothing quite matches them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

i downloaded the beauty of being numb and at the heart of it all off further down the spiral, as i love nin... then i discovered that it was by aphex twin or aphex twin & nin, and i was like "aphex twin? yay, i like this name! sounds cool, i'm gonna download some more and check some websites!" then i downloaded some tracks, bought drukQs, started to lurk around this mb (i'm lurking here since... i don't know, it was still v4... i only started to post some weeks... or months? ago), then bought other albums, etc... :) |

in 2001 my friend kept on talking about this..........aphex twin? and squarepusher? so finally i went and downloaded vordhosbn and basicly fell in love with electronic music. but really i've been listening to electronic music since i was like 10 and i was listening to stuff like "Chemical Brothers", "Fat Boy Slim" and "Christal Method". so really i've been into electronic music for quite some time i just didn't discover aphex until a little while ago. |
