I think "4" is a good starter. I usually try and consider the person's musical background when I show them Aphex. Recently I gave one person "Bouncing Ball" first and another I gave "Peek". It seems like some people you have to give a song like "Flim" or they will think its noise or techno. I remember when I first got into Aphex Twin was after I found out that he collaborated with Philip Glass whose work I have always admired. So that was my introduction...what was yours? I became really hooked once I heard RDJA.

i usually play polynomial c, or track 7 from i care becasue... their musical background playes a huge role, i mean, you don't play the ventolin single to someone who digs ricky martin. Infact you don't even hang out with ppl who dig ricky martin........
What got me into aphextwin....
It was a long time ago...in a land far, far, away...and i was watching mtv's 1hour preview of mtv2, and i think moby was on it...i didn't know who the hell it was...and it was (moby's?) fav videos....and he played come to daddy...i thought it was the coolest fucking video i've ever seen. becak then i thought aphex only did industrial, and when i got the come to daddy cd, i was like what the fuck? this sux! but now, IDM is my greattest passion! THANK YOU! you bald stranger.....i'll never remember who you were.....

Alberto Balsalm got me into Aphex.
I usually get people in with the lighter stuff, like you mentioned funkmaster. Although one friend of mine only started digging aphex when he heard Ventolin.

nobody here mentioned windowlicker! when i have a room full of excessively stoned people i like nothing better than to put on the windowlicker video- the juxtaposition of disgust and admiration on their faces is always something to see :)

Good for both long term RDJ fans, and people who have never heard of him.
Unless they like, you know, metal... or something like that.

if theyre rock fans...come to daddy definitely...
i guess it does sort of depend on their musical background though..
if they prefer gentler music...try his gentler songs...and if they like it rough...
well..we all know how rough richard can play...
once i let a friend listen to a bit of 54 cymru beats...hes really into hardcore punk and speedmetal...
so i let him hear the crazy bit towards the end ...heh.. his eyes widened and all he could say was 'whoa...that guy is fucking scary' ...he had heard of aphex before..through the come to daddy video
