I got the idea from one of the other topics, so what was your musical journey? Mine: Since I was a very little kid, I used to listen to the record collection of classical and jazz music that my father had. Unfortunately he often traveled for work so his influence was kinda of sporadic. When I was 5 I started to like Michael Jackson after listening Bad. When I was aproaching 8 - 9 I got into Nirvana. At ten a friend of mine hooked me into Queen, metallica, Iron Maiden adn gun's and roses. I listened to that for one year. When I was 13 I got into electronica, I started to listen to Prodigy, underworld, Daft Punk, Fluke. I also started to listen some trance. In 8th grade I had a very good music teacher and there I picked up a passion for classical and avant garde that I'm still cultivating. In that Year I also started to listen to Goa trance. In 9th grade I left electronica and I started to listen to metal, especially power and Black. In 10th I went back for a few months to Goa trance, than I got Into DNB and nu jazz. And then finally I listened on a webradio Aphex Twin - Come to daddy, and I started listening to IDM, which I'm still listening right now. Also at the beginning of this year I started to be into indie pop. |

As a kid- Listening to my pops rock and roll albums : Paul Simon, Bruce Springstein.....lots of classic rock too, Rolling Stones, etc.... Middle school, I kinda found the Smashing Pumpkins, and was very into teh Alternative scene. wasn't a stoner/swinger, or anything like that, just a depressed teenager :) From the pumpkins I got into the rest of the alt scene: silverchair, local h, green day, weezer have stuck with me high school: heard Aphex prolly as a freshman or sophomore RDJ album, and never gave it much thought, met a good friend Junior year who kinda liked Aphex. College: live with said friend, we dig all that stuff. Know lots of kids in rock bands, so I have started to explore the indie rock/punk scene much more. Finally bought idm albums a few weeks: Aphex/BOC/Ae. I'm firmly into braindance, but just love quality rock as well. |

I started young. Listening to my dad's hendrix and queen records. Got a little older and stupid and starting listen to the rap like vanilla ice. (please don't laugh) From there the grunge scene came out and I started listen to the Sub Pop bands. Then moved onto listening only to small Canadian Indie Rock Bands Around grade 11 I got into the electronic stuff after hearing the Chemical Brothers. From there I got into stuff like underworld and then onto darker stuff like Tricky and Dj Shadow. Now I like a lot of stuff from jazz to IDM to underground hip hop. Mostly right now I'm listening to Real Punk, Digital Hardcore and IDM. |

as a kid, i almost didn't listen to anything... my parents were (and still are) into classical music and opera (except some french singers), which i don't hate but doesn't do much for me... first music i remember having liked and first cd i received was 'i took up the runes' by jan garbarek, a jazz cd... i still listen to it sometimes, it's nice :) then my father, who likes peter gabriel, bought the 'eve' cd-rom, which got me into peter gabriel and led me to buy my first cd ('secret world live')... 2nd cd i bought was 'synkronized' by jamiroquai. (: ...some years after, i discovered oasis, which i liked very much ('the masterplan' was the first album which i really found amazing... even if it's unequal by moments, 'underneath the sky' remains one of my fav. songs ever :)) then... a friend of mine led me into nu-metal... i'm quite ashamed of it now (except for some korn which i still listen to now and then)... but by trying to expand, i discovered NIN _ and then from NIN i discovered marilyn manson, aphex twin, 12 rounds, telefon tel aviv, and later coil, thanks to ... :) then, by searching for aphex twin, i found this board, and discovered autechre, squarepusher, etc... now i'm still trying to expand from these starting points, got into einstürzende neubauten, amon tobin... and from some other sources, godspeed you black emperor!, frank zappa, the young gods... |

Hmm....very vague musical past, I have. As a kid I liked a lot of dancey pop kind of stuff, but I still showed signs of eclectism: 50's music all the way to classical. Moving forward to around 10 a bit I developed a fond interested for techno. The first fan of any kind of artist was Fatboy Slim (look at how young I am!). Still, of course mainstream, but big beat manifested my love for a good drumloop. Repeated over and over. Hell yeah! Year or so later and for some reason, I became interested in, of all bands, Beastie Boys. Intergalactic was one of my favourite songs of the past years in the mainstream (still is) and since I thoroughly enjoyed the then new single Alive, I decided to get the Sounds of Science Anthology. (Shit, bit of a crazy story huh?). After listening to the compilation way too much it broadened my mind entirely to knew music. It rekindled my early loved for rap and hip-hip that was started by my brother, helped me understand rock a little better and to go a lot easier on cheesey instrumentals like Song for the Man (anyone else know that). So I decide to buy Licensed to Ill, as I'm now completely interested in their music output. So skip a short while and one day, being interested in music video and all, I was watching this program on VH1 where they were nominating the final five for the music awards. One of them was Aphex Twin, Windowlicker. I watched completely taken by this new level of fucked-upness and decided it best to take it a bit further. By this time I have a PC thank God, and download lots and lots of Aphex, as well researching deeply into the genre. Not soon after I discover my brothers ancient interest in the house of Aphex. Apparently in the mid 90's e would go to a friends house to play link-up Doom on a PS whilst listening to SAW2. He rebuys it the same year I discover Aphex and my mind is once again broadened. Skip a few years and I'm here, except now I will listen to absolutely anything. Music is my religion. So lets get down. P.S. My longest post EVER. |

my dad listened to a lot of REM in the car on our driving holidays in france. Some 'everything but the girl too' which subconciously got me into electronica. got into indie around 1996 like supergrass, gene, oasis and masun etc... Then in 97 i got a computer game with a warp soundtrack, loved it, then got a DJ shadow album, squarepusher and an aphex one and was instantly converted. Horray! |

started liking music at like 3 or something, parents listened to "hippy" bands like The Moody Blues, Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Crosby Stills & Nash, The Beatles, some of which i heard on LSD, at 3 yrs old yep, it was crazy times, awesome music which i still listen to today. At around 8 i started liking rap music, this was in '84 or so when rap and hip-hop were new. After that at around 12 yrs started to like Poison, Def Leppard, Guns N Roses. Then at around 15 got into Grunge and Alt rock when it was born, bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Mudhoney, Screaming Trees. Then when i was 17 i got into reggae bigtime, listened to Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Big Youth, many others. After that it was really i wide variety. the first electronic album i got into was Deee-Lite's Dewdrops in the Garden in '95. I first heard Autechre on Mtv's show Amp around '96. Then in Jan. 2002 i really fell in love with IDM, and that's what i've been listening to ever since, mostly Ae and BoC. |
||||||||
|

| |||||||||
|
|
huh... i remember being into nirvana, green day, radiostuff untill i was in 7th or 8th grade. thats when i got the mtv buzz bin and heard chemical brothers-setting sun (intrumental) i was like "OH SNAP" then i got into the chemical brothers, then tranceish stuff, then drum n bass, then jungle, then gabber, then i got into aphex, and lately i've been listening to a lot of vsnares and ae/gescom. |

I didn't really give a shit about music until grade 8 or something. 8th- Green Day 9th- Metallica 10th- Black Sabbath 11th- Led Zeppelin, The Who 12th- The Beatles, Aphex Twin These are my favorite, mega-important bands in order... as for college, nothing really stands out like the above bands... I still listen to all of them constantly, except Green Day (and I don't mind them). |
||||||||
|

|

Actually, I was into the Beatles in laste 11th grade, but that summer is when I really started my obsession (which never ends). |
||||||||
|

|

in my young age i listened a lot of the beatles, kraftwerk and jm jarre due to my parents later i listened to technotronic in early 90's i started to listen nirvana (i still do) and all other grunge bands (melvins are my second fav), in the midtime RATM, + i was into massive attack and when they released mezzanine in 1998 i focused on electronic music (tricky, portishead+all other chill out musicians) then i became obssesed with susumu yokotas music and then i totally focused on rdj (they i joined this mb) and since then im totally into electronic music+i still listen to all other genres from serge gainsbourg to marc ribot, tom waits, nirvana, rhcp, 60's, 70's music. But my main focus is on braindance and ambiental music. |

the soundtrack of wipeoutXL (2097 in europe) was a big influence over me. It introduced me to the awesome tracks of F.S.O.L. "landmass" and "we have explosive" |

hey iroel, same here w/ wipeout XL; that was pretty much the turning point for me.. & a few months prior i lived in south NJ, where i was listenin to (c)rap just to fit in. at age 7 was when i found my 1st artist i liked: Mozart. this is in reverse sequence, but, yeah... soon after i got into the WXL soundtrac (while also listening to NIN) i stumbled upon the "come to daddy" video by Aphex Twin on MTV when i was almost 13. that pretty much lodged me into IDM since. i got into Squarepusher a couple years afterwards. i was listenin to some Autechre as well, but i never was greatly intrigued by them until i purchased Chiastic Slide right after moving up here in AK from IL in the summer of 2000. i was 15. from there i was strictly into Autechre up until a few months ago, & now i'm more open to a wider variety of artists that perform in the IDM & underground hiphop sectors, but i like some jazz as well. Autechre are still on the top of my fav. artists list, but Dr. Octagon has made an entry as well. there is more yet to discover on this musical journey of mine... (one of my longer posts) |

i've been getting into obscure jazz, funk, folk, soul, avant garde, experimental, and britrock songs all 2002 that people have either sampled or cited as inspirations. i've also been listening to lots of hip-hop that combines socially conscious lyrics with experimental and creative flows. in addition i've been listening to more rock(-ish) stuff than i have in recent years and as much idm as previous years, but more diverse (less warp stuff). i still listen to bits of everything i've ever been into. i think it's pretentious to just stop listening to stuff just cos you realize it's not the most inventive, intelligent, or trendy (ie: underground trendy) thing in the world. if it brings you pleasure keep listening! |

As a child - Mostly classical. My parents are big only classical music and opera so I listened to a lot of that. I used to have loads of "Anne Racklin" tapes. They were basically a series of tapes for children in which the stories behind the various pieces of classical music were told with the music in the background, sometimes coming into the foreground. When I got my first Hi-Fi I taped the occassional track off the top-50 but I mostly stuck with classical. Middle School - Bought my first CDs which were mostly Queen, Dire Straights and Tschaikowsky. I didn't really develop very much during this period. Most of my friends were into Gun's and Roses which I loathed so I kinda isolated myself musically. However this is when I first discovered jazz. My folks have a rather good set of vinyls (handed down and inherited). Mostly sung stuff like Ella Fitzgerald, Fat's Waller, Nat King Cole etc.. Also more classical like Dvorak and Narciso Yepes playing Rodrigo. Oh yeah and early santana. High School - My introduction to electronic music. Basically I heard a mate playing Orbital - Satan and it blew me away. This guy also introduced me to the likes of photek, fluke and fsol (Thanks Jon if your lurking in here somewhere). Also at this point in my brother's music path he focused on jazz. I learnt a lot about various jazz artists like Courtney Pine, Michel Petrucciani (rip), pat metheny, Grappelli etc.. Oh and my grandmother introduced me to Reich who I adore. Oh yeah and there was the depressed year when I only listened to Metallica! -Uni until present day This was when I stop being anal! I started to listen to all those bands that were trendy when I was in high school such as Radiohead, Bjork, Ben Harper, Jamiroquai, Nirvana,Placebo etc.. Also during this time I discovered the afx msg board and artists like mu-ziq, afx, telefon tel aviv, autechre, underworld, the ozrics, the orb and so on. Also loads of jazz from my bro and the most recent discovery has to be coldplay, I just bought both al |

Im like Ophecks I guess...i didn't really take in music like i do now. i was a radio junkie and listened to whatever came on. if anyone lives in vancouver here i was big into Z95.3 FM that was like in grade 5-7. I guess i had some music in me cause with radio on or not i would tape the backside of a tamborine we had (it was like a stretched fake animal hide..nice sound). i only had one drum stick so my right arm is better at drumming / double tapping than my left. anyways, after elementary, i got onto radio dance shows that were broadcasted live from a dance club here in Van called The Rage...it was on every saturday and id get all comphy and enjoy the dance (some of which was really really good). another show came on Friday that would prove to be thing that got me into electronica as i know it! late one night a track came on and it was called Block rockin' beats by the Chemical Brothers. I heard what cd it was on and i either begged my mom or used my money to get it...i forget. anyway. through that radioshow i heard lots of great acts. my second cd that i got was Daft Punk's Homework...got that after hearing the delicious Around the world lol. Time went on and noticed that his last hour started to be more for 'the hardcore' as he said...dj was Chris Sheppard...some here may know him. And i really started to enjoy it. it was a 4 hour show and id always finally get to bed at 3 in the morn...great stuff. but yeah. thats where it all started. then i got on to ae.nu and heard MORE acts and started getting in the avant garde a whole lot more...then i got here in afx.nu...hearing MORE stuff. so id like to thank you all for your help...its helped me lots and helped me find what i like. |

Tony: 1) amazon only sells the import which is identical to the domestic copy, only $20 more expensive.. you'd have to be crazy to buy that, 2) telefon tel aviv & their label get more $ if you buy from their site. |
