Ok, so a lot of people here have said they were exposed to Aphex Twin partly by way of Radiohead, so what got you radiohead fans into radiohead, or how did you get into them? With me it must've been back in 96 or so, it was after The Bends was released, but before Ok Computer... I had heard Creep from Pablo Honey, and probably High and Dry at this time, but then one night I caught a spotlight on Radiohead on Muchmusic... They played High and Dry, Fake Plastic Trees, My Iron Lung, and Just, and I thought they were great... High and Dry and Fake Plastic Trees were what sealed the deal... so anyways, I bought the album and I must've listened to Fake Plastic Trees 50 times that first night, I was so impressed by it I guess... heh, actually now that I think about it I believe my mom took the cd away from me because she didn't want me buying any more cds at the time... so yeah, for ages The Bends was my favorite album, and then Ok Computer came out and it became my favorite album... after Ok Computer I was officially hooked!!! And Kid A and Amnesiac just reaffirmed to me how good these cats are!!! :) But it's cool though, cause no matter what Radiohead did since I first got into their music, Fake Plastic Trees is still my favorite song of theirs... I just listened to it and it sent chills through me... fantastic stuff!!! |

my two favorite moments in any Radiohead songs: Fake Plastic Trees: Towards the end where he sings "You look like the real thing, you taste like the real thing, My fake plastic love!!!" Oh my!!! Karma Police: Towards the end where he sings "Phew for a minute there I lost myself!!!" This is fantastic... |

Radioheads first taste of electronica was an LFO remix of Planet telex from the bends, it's on a B-side of something...that I can't remember.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I remember one time playing Airbag for a teacher of mine in high school... he was into stuff like Bruce Cockburn and classic rock, and he thought it totally sucked!!! :) |

I never have or ever will get into Radiohead... |

good for you... |

playing idioteque on saturday night live. and jivverdicker: i'm pretty sure it's the planet telex remix. there's also two other remixes of planet telex, hexidecimal (i think) and depth charge mixes |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"i'm pretty sure it's the planet telex remix" i ment planet telex single |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and the filla brazilla remix of climbing up the walls is pretty damn good |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's it. Depth charge was one of them I remember, LFO and someone else ...it was quite a bit ago... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think a little after the bends came out I started liking them because of creep but never bought the album for many years. ok computer was 1st I bought as soon as it came out. i then got bends, then pablo honey then all the newer ones in order. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Believe it or not, I was into Aphex Twin before I was in to radiohead. My sister actually got me into them, but it was a while after I began listening to Aphex Twin. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was also way into Aphex before I ever heard anything of Radiohead's. But then on some thread a bunch of you people were saying Idioteque was one of your favorite songs so I had to check it out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
id heard of aphex twin from nin's further down the spiral but I just never bought a cd until quite a while after. I had mp3s for many years but didnt buy anything. my first aphex cd was icbyd and now I have most of em. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
radiohead had actually nothing to do with me listening to aphex. i had aphex cds before kid a even came out. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I was into aphex twin as well zephyr..It was 2 summers ago, I was in scotland, and i had been meaning to buy OK Computer for awhile since in the past i had borrowed it from a friend and it blew me away..Strangely, when i got it at a sale in scotland, i listened to it and it didnt sound anything like i remembered..it actually was better before, heh, but now it's one of my favorite albums by anyone (though i think i like kid a more, but it really depends..) I then found bends used and was overjoyed, and just kept on buying their stuff.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Oh yeah, i also used to think radiohead would never go electronic..at the time i thought ok computer was about fear of technology and that radiohead would never embrace technology, i know sounds stupid, but i considerably in a different mindstate then |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
MachineOfGod: Further Down The Spiral was also my introduction to Aphex. Then I bought RDJ Album, and it went from there! |

actually, ironically, mtv got me into radiohead. i sort of liked all ready liked radiohead, i had the bends and creep was the one song i actually requested on the local alternative station in southern california (bastards never played it ...). but mtv used to have this show 12 angry viewers that reviewed new videos and they were watching either paranoid android or karma police. this one guy was just raving about ok computer and said it was like radiohead's dark side of the moon. when he compared it to floyd, i was sold and bought it the next day. i worshipped that album and then kid a came out ... both are tops |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard "creep" and still didnt buy that album until I heard "Karma police" That was it for me |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wait, i think there's FOUR versions of planet telex. LFO, Depthcharge, Hexadecimal, and Karma Sutra or something like that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, so i did a little investigating on followmearound.com, and here's what i found: Fake Plastic Trees Single: 02. Planet Telex (Hexidecimal mix) High and Dry CD2 04. Planet Telex (l.f.o. jd mix) High and Dry 12" 02. Planet Telex (Osborn mix) 03. Planet Telex (Mo-wax mix) a Different High and Dry 12" 03. Planet Telex (Hexidecimal dub) Just CD1 02. Planet Telex (Karma Sunra mix) so i can't find the depth charge version :/ |

YOU KNOW THATS GOOD RESEARCH |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pitchfork media gave Ok Computer and Kid A both a 10... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i saw the "high and dry" video on much music years and years and years ago, and i went out and bought 'the bends' that weekend. :) |

I can't stand Radiohead. That "I'm complaining while I sing" voice has never done it for me. I hated the Cure and the Smiths because of it and now Radiohead too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you hate radiohead? and you hated the cure??? man, you are already are on my bad list! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
(but i totally agree with you on the smiths, though) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm sorry, I just can't help it. I just want to line up those three singers, slap them across and the face and say "quit your whining". It's all a matter of taste I suppose. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
how about joy division thirdball? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha!... yeah, i see where you're coming from. still, i like cure and radiohead... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't know Joy Division - heard the name but I don't know if I could name you any of their songs. I avoided the whole Brit pop scene like the plague. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joy division were the band that was before new order, though the lead singer (i think his name is ian curtis, i'm not a huge fan) committed suicide..were you a fan of the stone roses at all? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
joy division orriginally did love will tear us apart (which is fun to sing, and is going to be covered by squarepusher on his new double cd) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
roygbiv, are you serious?? that's one of my favorite songs by anyone.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I heard "Just" on a hits disc or something a friend of mine had. I thought it was cool or different then other stuff on the radio. I think I got OK.computer before the bends and I listened to it for a year straight. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm completely serious |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is a great song... it's the only Joy Division song I've heard... although Regret by their later incarnation New Order is better... :) |
||||||||

my friend bought Kid A and wouldnt shut up about how great it was... so i got it i liked it alot, so then i got Amnesiac when it came out. I dont have a real cd of ok comp... just a burned cd... i should get the real one when i get more money... and this was all many years after i got into electronic music and aphex... |

when i went to vietnum , i happened to bring radiohead album ( ok computer). i listened to whole track in train bound for HANOI . good music is a marvel. don't you think so? even now this album remind me of beautiful landscape in vietnum. so im into radiohead |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i have to say, i love when people aren't very good at a language, because i don't think that some one as fluent as us would say something as simplistically beautiful as "good music is a marvel" i love you far-east monkey :') |

A friend on the internet talked about them and gave me an email with a ton of info on them. my first cd that i got from radiohead was Ok Computer...which RULES! i love it to death. then i got amnesiac then kid a. then earlier this year i got pablo honey and the bends (at the same time). i got their live cd at the same time too. and just recently i got knives out EP (with cuttooth and another one along with knives out) and Iron Lung ep. |
||||||||

i was into aphex twin and autechre before radiohead though. |

I read about them in Rollingstone or something, about Kid A. That was the first Radiohead album I got into, I bought it on the day it came out. I had The Bends for a couple years, but I didn't like it for some queer reason. They just got so much praise that I FORCED myself to get into them, and thank God I did... Kid A made me buy OKC a few days later, then I paid attention to The Bends and saw its brilliance. |

I never got into Radiohead. I hate them. They're shit. Completely over-rated, pretentious, unoriginal and dull music-to-slit-your-wrists to. First they ripped off Nirvana, now they rip off Aphex Twin. They're a pile of steaming toss, and the lead singer's a whining twat. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And why, like a lot of our British singers, does the Radiohead singer put on an American accent despite the fact that he's English? What's the point? He's fucking English. I suppose that's why they've been successful in America. If he'd sounded English, the vast majority of Americans wouldn't have got into it. Controversial, I know. |

first got into radiohead in 94, after hearing creep at all the parties i went to. in 94 i only listened to gabber and what was simply called hardcore (oldschool now i guess), back then, and hated rock, but there's just something about radiohead that makes them special:) i still hate rock, but i love radiohead. |

"I suppose that's why they've been successful in America. If he'd sounded English, the vast majority of Americans wouldn't have got into it. Controversial, I know." I counldn't disagree more. MTV and MTV2 use fake english accents in there commercials because the UK is regarded as underground and cool or something. I don't know what, but they do it for sure. Same on MuchMusic and BPM in Canada. Dance or techno parties always have someone with a fake british accent. Oh, and I have never thought of slitting my wrists to radiohead songs. |
