everyone had a starting point, some of us can remember the days, back when the crying and moaning of the "top 100" was the deepest material we could ever imagine listening to, most of us originally clinged to a particualr genre, be it rock / pop / techno,.. we grabbed the most readily avaliable material we could get our hands on, but somewhere along the line we got introduced to something that made us take our music just that little bit more seriously, something that changed the way we look at music, music was no longer just a catchy tune in the background while you did other stuff, it was there demanding your attention, glowing at every orifice with beauty and detail that you dare not ignore, all of a sudden music had more meaning and worth, and like a shot of heroine you became hooked. so what was your first? |

mine: the prodigy - music for the jilted generation I originally got this album for the track "voodoo people" but after several listenings I finally made it to the end of the cd and into the "narcotic suite" portion of the cd (the last three songs). the overdone voice samples were gone. the "thump thump" was gone. and all of a sudden flutes and synth pads were all around, there was no obvious catch or beat, but it was still beautiful, I must have listened to those 3 last tracks a thousand times, and everytime I seemed to discover more, and enjoy it more, and from then on I tried to get my hands on anything that was oddly strange. today I would consider the prodigy's music to be rather dull and uneventful, but this album single handedly opened me up to a new world of listening, and I'm glad that I had the experience, because without this I wouldn't be where I am today. |

SUSUMU YOKOTA was the reason i started paying more attention on rdj, and by that i came to this mb, and by that i discovered all this great music and the ones to get me into music were MASSIVE ATTACK with unfinished sympathy |

tubular bells by mike oldfield and ELO, especially the album out of the blue. I really got into this at around 6 or 7 years old, and from there on i have steered away from the mainstream.(and the majority of my friends) |

nirvana:bleach when i first heard the first bass notes that open "blew" i understood that something was changing in me. i was 14 and i can still remember the first thay i heard nirvana to this friend of mine. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
when I started out, I was listening to nirvana, metallica and silverchair, I got the shits and hated the whole rock genre for soo long, NIN, Tool, and Radiohead singlehandedly restored my faith in that genre |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
It would hardly put radiohead in that genre Refund,well not alongside those artists. But thats just my opinion..... |

The thing that has had changed my view on music completely was a nice little video with an ocean in the early nineties. It never left me. |

Planet Rock - The Soul Sonic Force ( What the FUCK!!!!!!!) then, Led Zep 4 (just for Balls out rock and roll) then, The Orb - Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld (just sheer electronic bliss) then, Love - Forever Changes (JUST SHEER PERFECTION!!!!!!!) then, Josh Wink - Higher state of Conciousness (for what could be done with a 303) then, Natural born Chillers - Rock the Funky Beat(Drum n Bass at its best) then, SquarePusher - Untitled 12' ( again, What the FUCK!!!) and then????????? |

1 and a half year ago I was at a friend of mine. It was his birthday. We ate the best space cake I've ever eaten and we all (the 6 of us) got extremely stoned. I was just about to set my mind free en let the wastedness take over my body like it'd never done before, when someone put on the come to daddy ep. He (Maurice) skipped come to daddy and put on Flim right away. After a few seconds of listening to flim my head started to freak out. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. Right there and then I knew that this music was going to change my life and once the freaky part in BBB started....... I was going mad, my brain was going to explode. However it did not change the importantness of music to me (cuz I've always seen music as the most important thing besides two persons falling in love), it did completely change my taste in music, it'd opened new doors. |

after my hiphop era i ve heard "pretty hate machine" by nin and that would be the real beginning of my addiction. then after listening to industrial-rock/metal shit i got a copy of polish compilation "warp of plastic" (in the meantime i ve seen "come to daddy" video) on which i found lfo, ae, mr james and many more musical worlds. |

nine inch nails was my starting point, they (he) got me into great music like aphex twin, the cure, coil, depeche mode, type o negative, tori amos and my musical interests kind of branched off in all directions from them. |

having already been listening to things like The Chemical Brothers, The Crystal Method, etc., I saw 8MM which lead to me thinking "what the hell is that song!? it's crazy!" so I discovered the mysterious music of RDJ, Squarepusher, blah blha blah. And of course, just recently, (last year) i discovered the wonderful music that is Venetian Snares. |

klf - chill out love - forever changes capt. beefheart - trout mask replica these all changed my perception of music for the better, and quite dramatically. or maybe it was just the drugs i was taking at the time :) |

Probably....... Aphex Twin-come to daddy. Tis my first electronic album. |

i used to listen only to novelty records like mr blobby or smurfs or whatever was new....then i discovered dance music via fatboy slim.......discovereing idm via aphex wasnt so big a turning point as you would think, it was only when i heard jamie lidel i realised how varied idm can be and how much talent is need to make it....... |

> the prodigy - music for the jilted generation same here. it was the first electronic album i've ever bought. i remember clearly, it was several months before "the fat of the land" come out, I bought "jilted" and the firestarer single. i still think it's a great album, without it i could not listen to aphex. it's a matter of progression in music taste. |

I was mostly into hardcore local rap (Frisco! :p), and a few side-favorites like Pink Floyd, and NIN. It was the Windowlicker video that brought me into the light. Now I rate among my favorites: Autechre, Brian Eno, RDJ, and BoC.. Havent really been able to listen to rap again since I got deep into these guys. |

The first electronic music I ever heard (that I know of) was Atari Teenage Riot. It blew my mind. (Burn Berlin Burn). I listened to it with my friend, and I was like "christ, thats a great drummer!" (I was a drummer at the time... I was about 13-14) and he was like... uh. Theres no drummer, thats a drum machine. And I was like SHIT! First I was shocked that a machine could do that. But then I was pissed off, cause I was a drummer, and I felt cheated. But then I listened to it again, and it still amazed me. The rest is history... I asked my friend to let me borrow every cd he had that was electronic. Within a year, I had sold my drums (which I spent the previous year working at a library to pay for...) and bought a synth and a sampler :) |

thank you, Im gonna go listen to ATR now, which I hadnt listened to in a LONG time :) (btw... I kind of grew out of them for the most part. But they will always be special, because like someone said before... its what got me into all this :) |

Orbital's 'Halcyon & On & On' was the starting point for me. I remember hearing this sweet track when Mortal Kombat came out to theaters. I borrowed the soundtrack from my cousin, found the song was by Orbital. And then proceeded with purchasing The Brown Album. |

I love these types of threads... I've always said that was radiohead that got me into electronic music, but I don't think that is exactly true... it probably helped, but what really sealed the deal was one time when I was at this retreat thing with my churches youth group (kinda of ironic in a way I think)... anyways, they showed this christian video thing at the retreat, and low and behold what was playing in the background of the video but Halcyon by Orbital... I was like "Damn, I know that song, and it's awesome!! Who's it by?" So, when I got home I got online and searched and found it... anyways, then I started searching for stuff on Orbital and came across artists like Aphex Twin, Autechre, and Boards of Canada, and the rest as they say is history... |

hmmm tough question, I recall that I care because you do was the first aphex release that I got and I didnt like it much but i decided I needed more of it for some reason and I kept liking it more and more. one day I was at a cd store and I saw this crazy gold covered cd with no title(tri repetae) and I just decided to get it for some reason or another...I hated that cd when I first got it, luckily I didnt sell it because I probably would have felt stupid later. meanwhile in the other kneck(?) of the woods I read online about some group called modest mouse. they got me into indie rock and then built to spill etc. of course now I realize the more indie rock you hear the less you like it(my opnion) I still like some indie rock stuff but I hardly pay attention to it. quite a long entry, and it was lengthy for no apparent reason either, sorry. |

there were 3 cds for me. meat beat manifesto "subliminal sandwich", radiohead "ok computer", and the orb's "orbus terrarum". all definitely expanded the scope of what i call music and kept me searching. |

my uncle bought kraftwerk "radio-activity" for me once and talked about how it was one of the first electronic music groups, then i bought "the mix" by kraftwerk and loved "pocket calculator" (i find that song rather funny). after that i got some more early electronic like tangerine dream and jean michel jarre. after a while i decided to look into other types of electronic music, so i joined Columbia House and get 12 free cds or something. the two important ones were "music for the jilted generation" and "come to daddy". i thought the prodigy cd was great, and i didn't care that much for aphex, but the more i listened the more i liked it. then i bought more aphex twin cds, then boards of canada, autechre, squarepusher, etc. then to the artists on smaller labels, now i rarely listen to the pop-techno, but mainly to "idm." actually, even thinking of "the fat of the land" and later works by prodigy makes me sick. |
