Wow, I came from the opposite end of the spectrum. I
was heavily into hardcore rock stuff like sepultura,
morbid angel, slayer, will haven, training for utopia,
deftones, vision of disorder and other stuff like
that. I was in a few bands in high school, and I
ended up getting into electronic music (and then by
extension IDM) around my junior year. The people in
my band sucked and I found out through a few friends
online about impulse tracker and the whole tracker
scene. From there I first started hearing some
electronic tracks (although most of them really
sucked). I think roni size's newforms was the first
electronic cd I bought. After that, it was all
downhill. Even though I still enjoy rock
occasionally, there just seems to be only so much you
can do with guitars, bass, drums, and vocals. I'm
much more interested in the infinite variety of sounds
and textures of any good idm track.
