Ophecks I try too, but this was my first success.
I met a guy a couple weeks ago and he was playing Nostrum in his car (decent trance music), and I suggested to him that he listened to Aphex Twin, and he said, oh yeah, that's "Good Stuff". I was in so much disbelief that I was almost angry.
OK, you are obviously accepting of electronic music because you are listening to computer generated 4/4 trance, and you know about aphex, yet you are listening to trance music. Aphex is "good stuff"? That's like saying Einstein is "pretty smart". What the hell is wrong with you? ARGH!

i work with someone who thinks i have good taste in music minus all that "odd electronic stuff." the tables were turned when i left for a minute or two, and when i came back he was playing my icbyd.
i go to him: "... you're ... you're playing my aphex ... " "yeah" "i'm so proud of you."

Haha... that happened with my cousin... he's so hell bent against Aphex... he likes Linkin Park. I came running down the stairs really fast one day, and he was in my room listening to Windowlicker, with Come to Daddy next on the playlist...
Our musical disagreements are legendary, trying to convince the other that they have horrible taste... looks like that little fucker lost!
He still CLAIMS to hate Aphex, so... urg.

I live a similiar situation... my friends doesn't like electronic music (apart 2 guys who I known under the army), instead my girlfriend like Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Daft Punk, Lounge music, etc... but doesn't like AFX, it's too harsh for her and there aren't vocals too. She likes only some melodic tracks like IZ-US, FLIM, ALBERTO BALSAM, WINDOWLICKER, etc...

I tried to turn my wife on to Aphex to no avail. She sings in a choir and is into Handel, Mozart, etc. I've been trying to sneak in some tunes for my 5 mo old daughter. Come To Daddy makes her cry but she likes Fingerbib. I think her favorite electronic music is Kraftwerk - Autobahn.

ive tried to introduce a few of my friends to AFX... they dont seem to be too interested.. its all just hectic "noise" to them...
but there is this one friend who still offers some hope.. im in the process of gradually easing him into AFX's world.. as to not scare him off..
