My first album purchase was Kraftwerk's Electric Cafe also, but on vinyl. I
didn't know there were CD's in 1988? ah well anyway. I didn't know what the
hell it was, but I remember I liked it a lot. I remember it being _a lot_
different that some of the stuff I listen to today, especially that track
about the Telephone.
Anyway, later on in 9th grade, there were those tacky techno compilations
and such. heh.. I didn't get full blown into IDM until last summer tho,
really. I bought AFX's Classics, after finally finding where I could get it
from (hah the only place I shopped was Sam Goody at the time :d). I had
heard about AFX because of one person's 'obsession' with it on IRC, I just
wanted to hear what it sounds like, after that I got into FSOL, µ-Ziq, all
through ppl's recommendations and eventually started checking stuff out on
my own, found a _REAL_ record store, etc. :D
ps: I sold all those tacky techno compilations within a month's period ;)
