My first ever electronic music album and Warp release that I bought was
Aphex Twin's SAWII. It was late '95 in my 2nd year in college. I'm a very
big hip hop fan and at that time, things just weren't the same in hip hop. I
felt that there had to be something more. I had a friend who was also into
hip hop and many other things (he's a big Joy Division, New Order, etc.
fan). He had 2 Aphex twin releases: Analogue Bubblebath 1 and ...I care
because you do. Those were my first taste into electronic music. I remember
nights when I borrowed his CD just to have Alberto Balsalm on all night on
repeat while I slept. I started researching electronic music on the web
(another discovery of mine at the time) and read about different artists and
styles of electronic music. So one day I'm at the local Best Buy (they used
to have a decent selection and price too), and I saw SAWII on the racks. I
thought, "I don't know what ambient music sounds like, and it's Aphex Twin."
So going off of that, I bought it. I listened to that and was totally blown
out of the frame! Definitely something to be listened to with headphones on
and your eyes closed. My favorite of that still remains D1 Trk3 (Rhubarb).
Very cold and longing. Since then, Warp has always been a staple in my music
collection. Kid Unknown, Tequila Slammers comp, RAC, AE, etc. RIP Rob. You
did good.....

What was your first Warp record, and how'd you get turned on?
