I got into Aphex Twin in about 1996, I was a metaller then, and all my mates said "What's this bleepy {bleep}". I bought 'On' and totally fell in love with it. In fact, along with 60s/70s rock, Floyd, Beatles etc, it was the first music that I got into that wasn't metal/grunge. From there I got into Squarepusher - who I sa live with the Chemical Bros at 'Sankey Soaps' in 1997 in Manchester when I was a student there, {bleep}ing awesome, u-ziq, plaid etc.
By the way, one of the CDs I own AFX : Analogue Bubblebath, has another release version called 'Hangable Autobulb' - I though that was class when I heard it!
One of personal faves is Bucephalus Bouncing Ball.
And I can always get my mates who like that {bleep} Trance music (they all take acid and go to dirty clubs) to ask me 'what's this?' when I put on Didgeridoo.
