What kind of music did you listen to

...before stumbling into Aphex Twin?

Because it's retarded questions time.

I personally used to listen to shitty nu metal such as
linkin park and korn back at the day. From good music it was
Orbital, Prodigy and some D&B.

Kula Shaker, Blur, Mansun, Dodgy, Lo Fidelity Allstars,
Massive Attack. That kind of thing I think and stuff on the
radio.
I can't really remember that much. I don't think I listened
to much music to be honest, I was only 13 or 14.

When I was really little I liked pop rap like MC Hammer,
Vanilla Ice and Do the Bartman. Then I was into Nirvana for
a bit when I was about 12. Then I got into 4/4 dance stuff
when I was about 14 like Daft Punk and Dave Clarke's Radio 1
show, then I dunno, just various bits and pieces.

I don't know, a lot of the stuff I listen to now. Just minus
most of the electronic stuff, I wasn't heavily into that
until Napster.

You listened to these genres BEFORE stumbling into Aphex
Twin?

I listened to Nirvana, STP, and things of that sort. I
hated d&b at first since the only stuff I heard was via car
commercials. My friend randomly bought SAWII with some
leftover gift card money and the rest is as they say,
history.

"what kind of shitty music did you listen to before
stumbling into the great and cool music of patron of this
site ?"

- is this the kind of thread ?


 

offline _gvarek_ from next to you (Poland) on 2007-02-23 12:17 [#02054455]

Mostly Mike Oldfield, Vangelis, Cocteau Twins, Dead Can
Dance and various metal bands. Today = the same - metal.

Yeh, I was listening to metal, hardcore and industrial in
the 80's... Alot of weird "new wave" and rock too. I still
remember I had this cassette with Wall of Voodoo, Devo,
Queen, Eurythmics, Frank Zappa and other oddities on it...
I suppose that led to an eclectic taste of strange music.

I'd say that list is a "before and after". heh

Oh, on the electronic side the biggest artists I was
interested in before turning to the dark side were FSOL and
Leftfield. I still love their music now.

moby - play, then i backtracked all the way to moby -
ambient, from there i loved early 90s ambience. then i
discovered aphex watching tv. then i realized that the fish
that still had life (90s ambience) was never thrown back
into the fresh waters. It was beaten to death by idm. fuck.

the first place in 2000. Thom namedropped him in an
interview or something.

started out with snap!, technotronic, klf and various
"techno" compilations in the beginning of the 90s. like
swears i also listened to vanilla ice and snap, but the
poprap lost ground when i discovered hip house (or a
radioshow that played hip house), then it went into prodigy
and ravechoons. i also had a phase with emf and jesus jones,
which consequently stumbling over the fab aphex twin remix
on the zeroes and ones single

I had barely started getting into electronic acts like
Underworld, Daft Punk, Orbital, etc. Prior to that I mostly
listened various bands like Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins,
Cypress Hill, The Presidents of the USA and House of Pain. I
didn't have an internet connection, and I couldn't afford a
lot of albums back then, so my musical scope was pretty
limited.

Massive Attack, Portishead, Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk,
Fatboy Slim, Bjørk, TeeBee&K, John B, LTJ Bukem etc
