this is embarrasing, but really special at the same time. around 1996 there was a guy going by the name 'ghost town' (i think) with a one hit wonder track called 'your woman'. now looking back it was utter shite but i was young naive and otherwise interested in ska. i remember hearing this song on the radio about 6 in the morning when it was released and the dj saying the album was all produced in this guys bedroom. they made a REALLY big deal about how he was totally self-sufficient!!!the song was terrible but the idea of being all alone in your bedroom making music (possibly) producing works of genius triggered something. i know other musicians have been doing this for years and i never could quite understand what was so unique about this guy, but come to think of it he was very 'pop' so commercially viable with novelty factor anyway thats how i became hooked on aphex and the likes through the stupidest of songs, how about everone else? |

but truth be told, like most kids in the u.s., i've heard of aphex twin by first hearing 'at the heart of it all' on nine inch nails' "further down the spiral" CD, and roundabouts the same time came across a 4 star review of SAWII in rolling stone, and bought the 'ventolin' single (the 12 track version) soon after. |

my first concious listening to aphex was either acridavidjam or ventolin - i cannot remember, but my mate was adament ventolin was the best track he'd ever heard. icbyd is an autumn/christmas album to me - and woxen pith always reminds me of a couple of walks i did through the woods in pitch dark around guy forks night with an old-skool vhs camcorder so much fun we went looking for foxes laying eggs everywhere, but it was too dark to see anythying at all, haha ended up driving round and round a multistory carpark with the engine switched off |

i really liked listening to car alarms and my spectrum games as they loaded, so electronic music was the next logical step |

back in the day i borrowed orbvs terrervm and icbyd from a friend. dont know where he heard of them from. i liked both so much i got them right away. at the time, i was real into industrial. listening to swans and coil alot. thought it was deep. turns out it wasn't. got rdj album when it came out, been a fan ever since. saw basscadet vid on usa "up all night" with rhonda shear, of all places. or was it gilbert? anyway, they played it at the end of the show, with no introduction or anything. wax trax had bought some time and was showing a few vids of stuff that was current on their label. this was the first one. it blew me away (at the time, anymore i laugh at how bad that video is). got the 12" for my b-day. skip forward a few years. i read a review saying that lp5 was the electronic album of the year. i took a chance. glad i did. it's still my fav by them or in the electronic genre period. |
