Does New Wave count? If so, it would have been Gary Numan in the late 70s and Human League in the early 80s.

Yeah, me too, Raintube... I'm a firestarter, twisted firestarter... I guess that was in '96...

well what started my downward spiral into electronica was my Photek
at the time, this guy i just met was telling me about drum and bass (and mentioned photek).. and then i was in a record store and saw Photek: Form and Function, trusted his taste, so i bought it
then i was going for whatever i could get my hands on... mostly prodigy, and my sister's Underworld stuff
..hardly listen to those guys anymore though..

hahaha! that was great, Jarworski! i guess any music with electronic elements, instruments, whatever, would imply electronic music. well, ya kno what i mean.
i got into NIN at about age 11 to 12, then Wipeout XL for PS1 introduced me to guys like FSOL & Chem Bros & Photek. then when i 1st encountered MTV's AMP, i saw Aphx for the 1st time (On), and eventually Autechre (Second Bad Vilbel). a drastic phase in my lifetime musical experience.

like, electronic music means music that was modified or created electronically? geez, I'd have to say since the day i was born and i went home and the parents had abba playing. after all, they did use electricity to make their music.

I was like, 8 or 9 when I first heard Digeridoo by Aphex Twin. Mind you I grew up listening to lots of different styles. And yes, I was also a Nirvana and Nine Inch Nails fan at a young age so I kinda grew up with a shitload of different tastes in music (some more diverse than others).
I still hate shitty nu-metal trash like Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Bizkit and that shit. . :)

aphex got me started, but photek got me making it. probably about 96, so im still only new to this.
by the way titsworth...i think 'ni ten ichi ryu' is off an early photek ep, but can now be found on the form and function lp.

I think it started with MARRS: Pump up the volume. I remember it had a video with spinning sattelites in it... My musical evolution: Country -> Rock'n'Roll ->old Soul -> Disco ->hiphop ->heavy metal ->Rave -> House -> electro -> Ambient -> Avant Garde -> Classical music.

I first started to get into electronic music back when the video for "On" was playing on Amp and Wipeout XL was my favorite video game.
thanks to that soundtrack, We Have Explosive will always hold a special place in my memory.

Reaction to Resident Evil's post: Open your mind by Usura was a kick-ass song. I was about 8 years old back then. I forgot to mention it earlier. Open your mind was the first song that got me interested into playing keyboards and stuff. Unfortunately I couldn't afford one at that time. But now I can play the keyboards and I'm all happy.

I heard a lot of electronic back a few years ago, never really liked it as much.
Strangely enough, the first elec. song I liked was Actionist Respoke by Mouse on Mars, I even saw the video on TV. I don't like MoM that much now, though. (Odd.)
I bought Further Down the Spiral by NIN last year when I was on my big NIN kick, and I didn't like the Aphex tracks at first, but since I listen to entire albums, I eventually liked it. From there I searched on Aphex Twin and found Come to Daddy, which I liked, and later found Windowlicker, another video I had seen years before but had no idea about. From there I found this site and then I started getting more and more songs.
When was the first time you heard about Aphex?
A few years ago MTV was doing some shit about music, and they mentioned electronic from the UK, and played the CtD part where the big guy screams at the woman (best part of the song) and I remember thinking it was sort of scary, in a way.
That happens to me a lot, I see a video, I am intruiged by it, then I don't see it until years later.

I think it was a comparison of Aphex Twin and Radiohead's ''Idioteque'' that got me interested... I loved that track on KID A, and I was in a major guitar phase at that time... my Pink Floyd phase.
Idioteque sounded really interesting, and I wanted some more ''non-guitar'' stuff, and I heard it was a rip-off of Aphex Twin... so there ya go.
