1998 lp5 I gave it back tot he store 1998 (later) mhtrtc I heard boc had something to do with autechre but easier, so i got it and liked it, but never searched for more idm untill 2001 when I heard drukqs before 1998 I was into massive attack, red snapper (strange that thte warp link didnt make me get into the rest of warp world), portishead, tricky and dj shadow and things like that |

my first DM album was Music For The Masses |
||||||||
|

|

I started with The Chemical Brothers (Come With Us) and Prodigy (The Fat Of The Land), Massive Attack (Mezzanine). A mate of mine told me of RDJ and Autechre, the first tracks were Windowlicker & Come to Daddy, Piezo. Then I've known lots of others excellent music makers thanks to Xltronic. |

I don't really remember to be honest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember listening happily to Techno, Electro, Detroit and Ambient then some fucking bastards started calling the music I like ID fucking M. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the fsol mtv video sets are awesome. a bit dated nowadays, sure, but have that something in them. |
||||||||

was that mate woofer, or your uncle (if i remember correct)? anyhoo, aphex twin-on @mtv long ago, didnt like it then saw1 at the shop, didn't like it (i didn't understand the concept of repetition yet i guess) then i wanted to get into something new and searched for aphex twin on the internet, got on aphextwin.nu, listened to and liked the samples on that site, bought drukqs, classics, windowlicker (stupid video cdrom), come to daddy at the shop and ordered rdj album a bit later and got on aphextwin.nu again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so aphex twin is IDM ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeap, that mate was Woofer, but both of them (Woofter and my uncle) recommended me very good tracks that I liked and appreciated quite soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, only aphex twin is truely idm, as he's perfection and the idm-god |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
"I gave it back tot he store" > that's something i never did... i did make some mistakes by buying albums i ended up not liking so much, but i always either kept them anyway or gave them away. anyway: i discovered aphex twin thanks to nine inch nails (remixes on further down the spiral and seeing it mentioned for the release of drukqs (which was quite mediatized). then i visited aphextwin.nu, etc. |

|
can he fly faster than superdog ? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh right, i'd listened to further down the spiral forever, but though i always read the booklets and such i had read over the fact aphex had written that track untill i read it here, maybe because i liked it so much together with the rest of the album |

I liked chemical brothers, then I searched on Napster at a friends house (they had this weird thing called the internet and a computer) for the word "digeridoo" because I liked the instrument. I found the track "digeridoo" by aphex twin and wasn't very impressed. Then I tried to find the CD with digeridoo on it but messed up and bought drukqs and was happier for it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
digeridoo is the worst track ever, which is the best quality of it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
digeridoo is the song that got me into afx - got the 12" cover on my wall still,bit faded though its still TEARING i think,heard the live version he used to play? #) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just heard (and saw) a "come to daddy" call. then my body standed up, went to the shop and bought " i care because you do..." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
How can you say that Digeridoo is the worst track ever? Thats ridiculous. A seminal release, nothing bad about that track. I'm with dog_belch, I listened to this music for years, the first time I heard IDM was when I read about it on the internet, and I thought, hmm, what a stupid name for a genre of music, I'll give it a listen though, I might like it. Oh how I laughed when I realised that they were talking about all of this electronic music I was already into. Hoho. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well maybe it's because i think that digeridoo effect is pretty easy to emulate (like on a guitar and a wah for instance) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and here. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the beat isn't to innovative either: kick kick snare pause kick kick snare etc. then add clap. it wouldn't have gotten me into aphex is all i'm saying avatars of angry looking babies aren't too original on the internet either btw, just a thought :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it did sound rather ridiculous and hardcore in its day i heard he made it to wipe ravers out cos its too fast too dance to Phloam,Flap Hed, Isoprop anol/hlex DARK ANGRY APHEX |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe that was false modesty |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea i have them somewhere around the house they are free on a nice fsol ftp... but i bet you already have "teachings from the electronic brain" the name wonderful mid 90' 3d scapes! |

When my dad saw Come To Daddy on MTV and taped it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
at first I thought this has happened as late as in 2002 when I heard the vordhosbn trackie, but later I remembered seeing the On video much earlier. maybe in 1998 or somewhat around on the timeline. but it's been vordhosbn that got me into this music seriously - love at first sight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, and then I felt as I wasted several years when I learned that Ae have had their first release in 199x where 1<x<4 when I perhaps listened to my brothers' queen tapes. Need to go back in time and correct that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Because something is easy to emulate with the virtual studio technology we have at our fingertips these days does not IMO make a track the worst ever. The track may not sound innovative to you, (again, this doesn't necessarily make it a bad track) but at the time and in context to everything else that was being put out at the time, I'd say it was. And the baby avatar is actually my daughter, so watch your mouth, cartoon-star-boy (very original :)) |
||||||||

i spent much of my previous summer grabbing all of them from that ftp ;] i must check for any updates soon. |

Girl/boy song, downloaded it from kazaa lite. I disliked it at first slightly, but rhen i played it again and again.. |

Probably around '96 or '97 MTVs Amp show was playing Aphex Twin Come to Daddy, Autechre's Second Bad Vibel, etc. At the time I was moving away from the industrial stuff I listened to in high school, Skinny Puppy had broken up and members formed Download, which was kind of post industrial and pre experimental IDM in some ways. I latched onto that because I was starting to get more interested in loose, expressive song structures rather than traditional verse chorus verse with vocals and so forth. I had also been listening to Meat Beat Manifesto which was popular in both industrial circles and electronic circles. That led me to listen to other instrumental electronic stuff, The Orb, Aphex, etc. Actually I had heard I Care Because You Do before that but didn't really get into Aphex until RDJ album. Then I got heavily into Autechre with stuff like Chiastic Slide, LP5, and EP7, because they started mixing these industrial and experimental elements with classic electronic influences, something that Download and Meat Beat had hinted at before. yeh. |

1989, behind a 7-eleven, to a hooker named Jim |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
When I started getting into Aphex Twin and listened to On, I remebered being mesmerized by that song and the mysterious video when it was aired on MTV 4-5 years earlier, without knowing which artist it was. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's odd really. i was listening to most of the big electronica names before i got into rdj. i can't quite remember when that was though. the time i got into it good must have been sometime mid 90's. |

Ridiculously, it was MTV that got me into electronic music. Around 1997, when electronic music hot and trendy I was exposed to videos like - Underworld - Born Slippy - The Prodigy - No Good - Daft Punk - Da Funk - Orbital - The Box - FSOL - We Have Explosive I was intrigued by this new and freshhhh sound, so I went out and bought my first electronic album which was Orbital - In Sides, which I love to this day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
first aphex song i heard was probably come to daddy or windowlicker i did get interested in electronic music because of radiohead. i think almost all music are listen to is recommended by radiohead. and now im at the point i think aphex twin - autechre and others are better than any other music out there including radiohead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cute :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you shouldn't be on this mb. we DETEST fcukin radiohead here! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah why the fuck is that radiohead is the best band out there if you speaking of non idm electronic musicians but radiohead did do some nice electronic songs to like idioteque, everything in its right place, pulk-pull revolving doors, the gloaming, that are very good electronic songs and also de moviescore bodysong from jonny greenwood s very good what kind of non electronic acts do you like then fucking blink 182 or something? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you will be happy to know there's more music appart from what you see on mtv. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
We do? I thought the policy is that we don't care |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
generally i don't care, i make exception with radiohead though. they suck heavy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I can think of many bands that suck heavy, that are doing the same old thing that's been done a million times before. Coldplay spring to mind. Radiohead though, they always were a little bit different, more experimental with the noises they made. Obviously who sucks to you is up to you, so I'll shut up now. |
