I was 14 or so and had signed up for what I believe was a BMG thing. Don't worry, I only bought CD's when they were "buy 1 get 2 free" :) Anyway, in one of the wonderful catalogs, they had a little blurb for Aphex Twin's "selected ambient works 2" and I thought "hey, that sounds interesting." It was a 2xcd, so I put it down for 2 slots. And they sent me 2 of them :) Apparently they didn't listen to much aphex twin... Anyway, so I listened to it and didn't like it. But I came back to it about 2 years later and was intrigued more. When I found out that other Aphex Twin songs had percussion, I was very intrigued. So I picked up "I care because you do" and the rest is history. Recent history, but oh well. derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- kills germs on contact --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
