it's funny how many people here were korn fans back in the day. i was the same, i loved that shit. it went something like this

thanks to the random discoveries of a close friend, this one joined the mix:

 

 

and these all culminated in my love of this (i wonder just how many people got into electronic music via come to daddy):

 

 

then this became the all-time favorite it still is:

 

 

and now i'm hooked on this shit:

Interesting how pretty much all of us have metal in our background before the idms. Eeeeenteresting.

 

 

Well here's mine, starting sometime in middle school:

^Yeah.. middle school..

 

^Along with this one comes other metal such as Between the Buried and Me, and some shitty metalcore my friends listened to

 

^I know every second of this album front to back. Still fucking love it.

 

^First major electronic music influence and obsession. Can't understate the importance of this release

 

^Made me realize what I love about a bunch of different genres.. refined my tastes, and there was about a year where I listened to this album nonstop

 

^Don't remember a specific Autechre release that clicked first, it was all a whilwind of awesome.. but I remember being obsessed with Second Bad Vilbel

 

^Holy hell, Tundra 4 took me on a journey like I'd never been, quite enlightening really. The rest of Pusher's discog followed

 

^Yeah, Aphex was the last of the 'Big 3' to really click with me. But holy shit did he do so.

 

^Represents broadening tastes, appreciation of ambient and minimal music, and its an incredible album that more people should know about.

I find it interesting, the number of people who came to electronic dance music through Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream. That is probably the fault of the Orb/FSOL but it's still a thread I love very very much. That kind of little thrill when you find Hengist Ridge in someone's record collection.

[Guest Calx Sherbet]
