I was about 13/14 maybe it was around 1995 and my dad was dating this girl who had awesome taste in music. She gave my dad a copy of Artificial Intelligence 2 on CD. Initially I was obsessed with Beaumont Hannant, Aphex etc. and got really into that stuff... I remember it was like that until around 2000, by way of Aphex I was now listening to The Prodigy, Nine Inch Nails etc. but I still hadn't really checked out Autechre, although I knew of them from AI2... I had a really dodgy hi-fi system at the time and I remember I was at a record store the day Peel Session 2 came out... I bought that 12" and listened.... Liked it but still wasn't obsessed... Fast forward to 2001 and Confield comes out, I bought it but just thought it was batshit crazy. I went over to my mates place (they were all big metalheads) getting drunk and hanging out, for a laugh I put on Confield thinking it would weird them all out.... For the next hour or so nobody said anything and we all just sat there losing our shit. I've been obsessed ever since, so have some of those metalheads!
