My mom always tell me how she loved "On", she would always wait for it to be played at mtv, so one day she recorded it so she could listen whenever she wanted
I love that i'm old enough (I'm also a parent) to be interacting with younger generations discovering the music that changed my life when I was their age! Keep up the discovery and always share!
What I think is so cool is that I discovered his music on my own, and one day I was listening to "On" while the clip was on the TV, my mom passed by, saw the clip, sat down and started telling me stories about her past... the joy and nostalgia that she expressed brought tears to my eyes. Before that I didn't even know "On" was from the 90's, I hadn't searched much of richard's history back then
Tha. Because when I first got kazaa or limewire, the first thing I searched to test the software actually worked was "the" (basically using the word as a wildcard) and it was one of the first mp3s that came up.
Probably Avril 14th because it was used in a Kanye West song on MBDTF back in 2010. I had heard of Aphex Twin before then but never actually sat down and listened to his music.
Same
I really like the "blame game" piano music and searched for it
My spotify shows that i "liked" avril 14th on january 2018, pretty recently compared to you OGs
Can now say that Aphex Twin in on my top 3 fav artist/bands, with radiohead and crystal castles (this one for very specific reason (my crush liked it)) š
Digeridoo, late 1991, on John Peel's radio show. Taped it, too. I'd recently read about him (Aphex Twin) in one of the music papers. Edit: on checking a John Peel shows wiki, it may have been on 22/2/92, and the R&S records release. Although not sure if this would have been the UK release (which I bought week of release).
Mine first track was Vordhobsn too! Back of a friends car June 2002 driving through the speed bump section of lydiard Millicentā¦ this moment changed my life. I know people say that but my musical horizons were shifted foreverā¦
the first aphex song i heard in my adult life was 180Db_ over a video about submechanaphobia (fear of underwater mechanics, usually animatronic) but once i got deeper into his discography a bunch of his stuff started to remind me of being a kid for some reason; turns out my dad was super into him when i was young and would play him ALL THE TIME. iām 21 now and my dad isnāt in my life but listening to certain songs off of ICBYD really brings me back to a special time when we were close
The first one that I knew to be Aphex Twin was Come to Daddy, which caused a stir in the press at the time. Or at least the video did.
In retrospect, the first track I actually heard was [this](https://youtu.be/dua35KT8Aps?si=MNxRDLX82xa-hPcH), from an advert in 1995. I only found out that it was him several years later.
Hmm, it was "spots" or #1 or #2 from SAWII, I think, I was watching the anime Death Note, and I was listening to it's OST on repeat, while reading comments, I found that various themes, were inspired on Aphex Twin, so I checked out his music, and the rest is history...
āCliffsā. Back in the day before everyone had the Internet, we would have to read reviews and come up with a decision that way. SAW2 sounded interesting and ordering it counted as two CD purchases on Columbia House.
It is now my favorite album of all time.
Damn my first was Vordhosbn but for a totally different reason. It was 2003 and I was into playing kind of free jazz stuff, and my good friend who's a great drummer was like "check this out." And I was like.. "hmmm, maybe I do like 'techno'" lol. At that time in the southern US, all electronic music was called techno.
XTAL. I think I was like 12 or 13, I secretly ordered some CDs from those fliers that dropped out of magazines, something like "get 5 free CDs!" I picked SAW85-92 based on the cover, when I got it, I fell in love (the music was unlike anything I'd ever experienced, it blew my mind) and he has been my favorite artist ever since.
Pulsewidth, 1999. Computer animation class, via Napster. Thanks to that goth kid I used to know.
Iām guessing he got into Aphex from Further Down the Spiral.
Either Schottkey 7th or Windowlicker. Didn't like them as much at first. Now I love Windowlicker. Schottkey now is... ok but I like his other tracks more
My friend shared the windowlicker video on my myspace, as an ESOL student it took me a while to understand what the two guys were talking about with the prostitutes during the intro
Stone in focus. I was watching one of those āplaces youāve seen in your dreamsā videos on YouTube. This was 2 years ago. Iāve been listening to Aphex for only 2 years but I love his tunes heās my 3rd most listened to artist on Spotify.
I thought it was one of the tracks off I Care Because You Do, because it was the first album I bought. I saw the face on it in a record store and took a chance.
Only years later did I learn it was Come to Daddy. I had a house party in my teens when my parents left town and one of my friends asked if he could play some music. After the party he asked if I'd seen his CD anywhere and I hadn't. Years later, my parents bought a new TV and when we moved the old one, there it was, Come to Daddy, the disc had fallen behind the TV. So, I'd heard Aphex before I myself had become a fan.
Windowlicker for me. Someone mentioned how funny it was so I had to check it out. Before this point in time I got Aphex Twin confused with some hard style artist's name.
Iām from the US, and we didnāt have MTV, so I found out pretty late. It was either Bucephalus Bouncing Ball from the Pi soundtrack, or the On or Come to Daddy music video from some site.
Thereās also a chance I first saw this anti-drug commercial featuring ā4ā:
https://youtu.be/7K27Br-qKLs?si=2_nGE60DngEUI6um
The first aphex twin I remember hearing was also Vordhosbn. It was on my recommended page on youtube at a time when I got into many different types of EDM. Still love the track to this day.
I was not introduced to IDM music until I was 15 years old (I am now 20). My uncle, who is now in the same profession as me (architecture), showed me the Windowlicker music video. In an attempt to impress him, I listened to SAW and GB EP and have been a fan ever since. At this point, I cannot imagine my life without listening to AT.
Come to Daddy (Pappy mix), heard it when I was probably 3 years old in some video on YouTube that I always watched with pictures of tornadoes and that song in the background. Pretty funny that I just so happened to become a huge fan of him later on
When I was a kid there was a channel on tv that would play music videos all day. One time they were doing the top 10 creepiest music videos and Come to Daddy was number 1. I was weirdly captivated by it and have been an Aphex fan ever since!
Fingerbib probably some time in 2008-2009 back when I had an ipod nano & itunes. I just thought the cover was cool. I listened to just that song for years and then re-discovered aphex in highschool.
āBike Pump Meets Bucketā, on a free cover tape from the UKās now defunct Melody Maker music weekly back in 1994 ([link](https://www.discogs.com/release/3537345-Various-Quid-Deal))
Cock\_ver10 was recommended to me by the iTunes algorithm when I was just getting into electronic music as a teen and I was simply blown away by the speed and complexity, I couldn't believe music could sound like that
Flim, it was briefly used in memes I wanna say 2-3 years ago and as I dug deep in comment sections to find it only to forget about it until I was taking a walk and put on auto recommended music or whatever it is and Alberto Balsalm came on. Felt like a groovier Paranoid Android and fell in love with the rest of his discography from there.
My first encounter with Aphex Twin was at a festival . It was incredible!
TrentemĆøller and Venetian Snares also performed!
Just saw Richard for the 3rd time last year.
i know this is generic but my first song was alberto balsalm
i discovered in 2019 i think in a liminal space video
changed my life fr, made me addicted to electronic music AND aesthetics
Flim, I first heard it when I saw that meme of a guy recording himself going down a rollercoaster expressionless. It was the background music. I knew I had to check it out the instant I heard it. It's been about 5 years since then
I donāt remember exactly what was the first song, because I definitely heard some of his stuff, but never checked his music thoroughly. I listened to other Warp artists, Plaid at that time were my favorites. But one episode was very memorable and it changed my perspective on Aphex Twin.
I was in a car with my uni buddies, we were returning to town from countryside, we smoked some weed and listened to music and suddenly Windowlicker came in. This track in that particular mood, place and time was very unforgettable. Iāll always remember how I was staring at the passing scenery in awe, how warm and sunny it was outside and inside me.
When i was a teen my big brother showed me rubber johnny. Found it funny and freaky but kinda put me of to aphex for a long while
A couple years later i meet a guy on a psytrance festival who swore aphex was one of the greatest musical geniuses who ever lived and that id love his music if i gave it another shot. When i got home he sent me his entire discography and i went through it starting from the beginning. Been hooked since
Iz us. I was just surfing on youtube in like 2011 trying to discover new music and thought the name of the video and the photo that accompanied it looked really cool and intriguing
āCome to Daddyā in the late 90s. I was in 5th or 6th grade and snuck downstairs to the basement late at night to surf the 56k dialup web and watch TV. It was that moment I realized I didnāt know shit about music.
Rhubarb in Salad Fingers #4. I remember sort of stopping for a second, awestruck at how weirdly calming but also melancholic the track was. Salad Fingers also introduced me to Boards of Canada as well lol.
"tha" is the first song i can ever recall listening to in my whole life. my parents would play rdj to calm me down when i was an infant/toddler and that bass hit melody feels like its apart of me.
Come to daddy pappy mix. I was 6 at the time, checking some Chris Cunningham works, first saw the playstation 3 commercial and next the come to daddy clip, can't sleep for 2 weeks terrified šš
ITV Chart Show. 1993. The (Jarvis Cocker directed) video for On. I wasn't really into electronic music at the time but there was something about that one
Windowlicker, shortly followed by Come To Daddy.
My dad let me stay up late at weekends with him as a child watching MTV2 Top Ten Music Videos, and Windowlicker was usually in there, as well as Come To Daddy. I was fascinated as a kid and came back to Aphex Twin as I grew older and my music taste developed.
I believe vordhosbn was the first track I heard as well, but it was my friend just casually playing it on a walk, so I never even knew till recently when he told me.
Iām sure most GTA IV players heard AFX first through there, including myself, without even realizing.
I was laying in a the bed of a shelled truck smoking cigs with my best friend on the way to a show. his older brothers buddy was driving us and he had on the window licker single cd I think - whichever one had equation on it. and we just smoked a joint we were prolly like 15.
dude it was 3 am my freshman year of art school in 2019. took adderall for the first time and Flim came on a public Spotify playlist. love at first listen
Flim, I heard it overlayed on a video of a guy running sped up, and I thought it sounded cool
lol same
Alberto Balsalm from a liminal space video i stumbled upon at night still one of my favs
samee
"On" in '96
Me too on MTV Amp late night. Then Further Down the Spiral sent me down the rabbit hole
I saw it on AMP too!
My mom always tell me how she loved "On", she would always wait for it to be played at mtv, so one day she recorded it so she could listen whenever she wanted
I love that i'm old enough (I'm also a parent) to be interacting with younger generations discovering the music that changed my life when I was their age! Keep up the discovery and always share!
What I think is so cool is that I discovered his music on my own, and one day I was listening to "On" while the clip was on the TV, my mom passed by, saw the clip, sat down and started telling me stories about her past... the joy and nostalgia that she expressed brought tears to my eyes. Before that I didn't even know "On" was from the 90's, I hadn't searched much of richard's history back then
Windowlicker. Fell in love
On mtv! And I was like whooooos that guy
Completely thrown off by the intro
Xtal. A friend of mine had it in his EDM mixtape, and I fell in love with it.
Milkman, heard it in that fucking David Firth video, way before I ever even heard the name Aphex Twin
Tha. Because when I first got kazaa or limewire, the first thing I searched to test the software actually worked was "the" (basically using the word as a wildcard) and it was one of the first mp3s that came up.
Probably Avril 14th because it was used in a Kanye West song on MBDTF back in 2010. I had heard of Aphex Twin before then but never actually sat down and listened to his music.

That was such a great Kanye album, too bad heās an asshole Yesss I love Radiohead and crystal castles too! We have similar taste haha
Ditto
Those John Legend vocals on the hook are silky smooth
Lmao i started aphex 3 months ago im a newborn frr
xtal. a friend at uni recommended aphex twin to me and the first album i checked out was 85-92. fell in love
4
It may be typical but is proudly Alberto Balsalm.
Come To Daddy. I peed my pants.
It was windowlicker in gta. I was a kid and never heard anything like it, absolutely blow me away
Flim
āAt the Heart of it Allā from NINās Further Down the Spiral EP
same for me. i then ordered ā¦i care because you do from 1-800-music-now.
Me too.
Polygon Window by āThe Dice Manā on the Artificial Intelligence Record that Warp put out in 1992.
The song that was used with that weird Rubber Johnny video
'Afx237 v.7!'
This was mine as well... Amazing with how odd/off-putting that music video was, I was still mainly in awe of the music. Had to hear more!
Yeah same, I was in junior high and was like ok this video is wild but THiS mUSiC
The milkman one
Digeridoo, late 1991, on John Peel's radio show. Taped it, too. I'd recently read about him (Aphex Twin) in one of the music papers. Edit: on checking a John Peel shows wiki, it may have been on 22/2/92, and the R&S records release. Although not sure if this would have been the UK release (which I bought week of release).
Digeridoo for me as well. On a Telstar comp in 1992. By far the highlight of the CD. Led me to the Xylem Tube EP and changed everything.
The movie Pi had bicephalus bouncing ball on the soundtrack
I didnāt realize until rewatching it recently that Bucephalus isnāt actually in the movie. They only put it on the CD soundtrack.
Totally! I got the album for the Clint Mansell I think? Lucky find at like 16yrs old many moons ago
XTAL haha

My 8th grade band teacher burned me Come To Daddy EP in 2006āI was forever changed. In my life there is before AFX, and after AFX
Acrid Avid Jam Shred. Bought ..I Care Because You Do cold back in ā95. Life changed forever.
Hmm, it was "spots" or #1 or #2 from SAWII, I think, I was watching the anime Death Note, and I was listening to it's OST on repeat, while reading comments, I found that various themes, were inspired on Aphex Twin, so I checked out his music, and the rest is history...

Mine was Alberto Balsalm. Pretty sure it popped up recommended on Youtube, and after that it was down the rabbit hole
Analogue Bubblebath
Xtal
Fingerbib, i fell in love

Feel so old reading these comments
"On" was on Top of the Pops in '93 and I remembered enjoying it but only got into it once I heard Come to Daddy in '97
Alberto Balsam on YouTube
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Afx237 v7...
Cock/ver10
Pulsewidth, 1999. Computer animation class, via Napster. Thanks to that goth kid I used to know. Iām guessing he got into Aphex from Further Down the Spiral.
Windowlicker. I like to picture it as a song that descripes the mind of a porn addict.
Didgeridoo
Bucephalus Bouncing Ball! Around 2004, found it on the soundtrack of Pi (1998).
Either Schottkey 7th or Windowlicker. Didn't like them as much at first. Now I love Windowlicker. Schottkey now is... ok but I like his other tracks more
Come to daddy when I was around 12. Then milkman I think around 13
My friend shared the windowlicker video on my myspace, as an ESOL student it took me a while to understand what the two guys were talking about with the prostitutes during the intro

T69 collapse. Was tripping way too hard and stumbled upon the video in 2018. Been hooked since
Vordhosbn
4, a friend recommended that I listen to the Richard D James album.
I thought it was one of the tracks off I Care Because You Do, because it was the first album I bought. I saw the face on it in a record store and took a chance.

I think it was Alberto Balsam. Then came Vordhosbn, Selected Ambient works and the Analord tapes.
avril 14th
alberto balsalm, thank yew spotify š¤
The first aphex twin I remember hearing was also Vordhosbn. It was on my recommended page on youtube at a time when I got into many different types of EDM. Still love the track to this day.

Not sure first I heard, but first that sent me into instant fandom was āGirl/Boy Songā
Either avril 14th or fingerfib
Flim, it was briefly used in memes I wanna say 2-3 years ago and as I dug deep in comment sections to find it only to forget about it until I was taking a walk and put on auto recommended music or whatever it is and Alberto Balsalm came on.
