When did you first hear of Aphex Twin?? And what were you listening to before?? Me personally, i only head of Aphex Twin about 4 years ago. Before him i was listening to lots of industiral stuff such as Skinny Puppy, KMFDM, and Front Line Assembly. Still love the shit tho! |

Hmmm, I've been into APhex Twin since last August... not very long... I heard Come to Daddy on Muchmusic years ago but never paid any attention to it... a friend of mine sent me Heliosphan one time, and I loved it... so I eventually bought The RDJ album and was hooked... |
||||||||

i used to listen to mostly rock.. (not crap rock like korn/creed, no, GOOD rock).. then i heard the prodigy.. then i heard underworld.. then i heard photek.. then i heard squarepusher.. then aphex twin |

Just before Christmas, during Grade 12. Which was... last year! I was into Radiohead, and the electronic-ness of Kid A got me interested... read a review on the net discussing their new style, and how they were into some cunt called ''Aphex Something'', so I downloaded Windowlicker and Cornish Acid... Cornish Acid blew me the fuck away! |

I started with Richard D James album. I was just really getting into all the indie hip hop at the time, but I was really into trance and some drum and bass, some house music. Whatever was played at the raves I would go to. I thank my boy Colin for pullin me out of that boring scene with Aphex and Ae. |

before Aphex Twin I was into Radiohead, Peter Gabriel, Genesis, Pink Floyd, U2, etc, etc... bands I still like... |

it started when i somehow obtained Artificial Intelligence II ( i cant seem too recall how this got into my possession ) anyway i listened and enjoyed, and really like "My Teapot" and then looked into it when i was on a school computer, and found out he was also known as aphex twin (didnt mean anything too me at the time) and then the same night i was watching MTV and "On" came on, loved it, next day i bought "analogue bubblebath 1 because it was only $10, loved that and went from there... before that i was heavily into NIN and marilyn manson *gags* oh well hehehe |

though I had been eyeing come to daddy in the stores. the cover looked too twisted to be true. |
||||||||

I heard bucephalus bouncing ball on the Pi soundtrack, and i was intrigued. that was about 3 years ago i guess. So i got the come to daddy LP and the rest is history... |

i heard about them when i was in vancouver about 4 or so years ago. back then i still really young, and listened to mostly punk, and a little hip hop. but i was getting into dance stuff like fatboyslim and daft punk. |

Before I was into Aphex i was into the grunge rock scene, sitll am, but now I listen to alot of IDM ( preferably aphex, autechre and BOC). First aphex Cd was Come to daddy because my friend bought and brought it over and i fell in love with track 2, that was when i was in 6 or 7th grade 5 yrs ago |

I was like, 18 or something... fucking late bloomer! I had a really crappy computer with a 56k connection when I doscovered him, and I used the ol' Napster to rip him off and get all his tracks! Took an hour to get a song back then, now it takes 30 seconds. Those WEREN'T the days. |
||||||||

|
it takes you 30 seconds too get a song? thats disgusting, shame on you... |

in 1994 i got the NIN remix e.p. "further down the spiral" i heard "at the heart of it all" on the e.p. and it pretty much got under my skin and since then i have been a fan. actually, i think i heard an afx track before then on a selected ambient works compilation album but it didn't really DO it for me untill i really got into the twin.. and chemicals |

got into aphex in 1993 - before that, i was into 60s rock (the doors, the beatles, procol harum) and pink floyd (only like them up to and including the wall). first heard SAWII on vinyl and UI on vinyl. |

First time I heard Aphex Twin was on the first Mayday Compilation (1992). My first AFX record was On. I've been listening to electronic music since the end of the 80ies (Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk etc) |

i was always in electronic music, since my youth, but i liked crappy things (2unlimited, jean-michel jare; bonzaï records, trance, techno, etc...) i knew the pirelli ad n liked the songs, but it was in 97 when a friend gave me a tape, with one side of Korn first album (my rock period), on the othere face there was this strange music i couldn't stop listening to, it was written aphex twin - come to daddy --- with the help of the net since then i now have heard nearly all his releases, and begin a nice collection of cd's... |

yeah same here it was maybe like 5 years ago.. come to daddy was played on some underground tv show round here. i remembered this name "aphex twin".. went to the internet, typed it in a search engine and the rest is dust |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ooops! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Actually, its funny, because i remembered the name, and i didnt investigate real fast. i might had heard it as 14 years old. then i went into record shop, asked if i could listen 2 saw 1, and i didnt like it so i didnt by it! then there was that remix on a nin cd. i bought classics and didnt like it. then i got i care because you do, and that was the beginning of my hardcore liking of the fella. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and yeah after i found out about aphex twin.. i got SAWII, it was bliss |

Since the ago I started buying music (Abour 8 or 9) I've always been into electronic music. I read/listened and watched heaps of stuff on electronic music and the name Aphex Twin came up a lot. Then a started seeing his music videos (Donkey Rhubarb first, then On) and really loved them. This might sound really stupid but I considered myself kind of a fan of Aphex Twin even though I didn't own any cds. I tried at local places but no one helped. So I just plotted on with my taped videos of donkey/on and come to daddy enjoying the hell out of them. And then a few years ago we got the internet. I first thing I done was go to an online CD store (CD Now) and I ordered ... I Care Because you do and then I kind of went on a huge Aphex shopping binge :-) The internet, what a great concept! |

I just got a new super ninja PC (a p200 arf) in about 1997ish and got a game called Hardwar. The soundtrack was done by warp records, people like Autechre, RAC, LFO and some squarepusher. I think looked on the warp webby, and looked at autechre and squarepusher. I noticed aphex twin but didnt think about it. I then went into HMV at the weekend, and brought amber and birminh' tree. I noticed classics, i had enough money in my walet, so i brought it. The rest is history (to me at least). |

i heard about him from aron , same with squarepusher and most of the electronic artists i know, and he first introduced me to making music electronically , i guess he would be my mentor or somthing, before i was into alot of punk |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he also taught me to think before i move, you see, we would be sitting around in his basemet and out of nowere he would yell "think before you move!" and then chuck a wrench at me |
||||||||
|

hehe, goodtimes! |

heard it 10 years ago at raves in the states all the classic goodies like Tamphex and Digiredoo loved it but were hard to come by so lost track of him and got back into collecting his stuff 3 years ago.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember I was so freaked out by the Come to Daddy video the first time I saw it... it really made an impression on me... never once at the time did I think I'd be a super huge fan a few years later... it was just too weird and freaky a song and video combination, and I just wasn't ready!!! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah that video is pretty intense. I love it. They play it on my college's music video show sometimes and everyone is like "What the fuck is that?! It rules!" |
