Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92

I was 13 when I first heard Aphex Twin. I was in my first year of high school and my friend and I had recorded Chris Cunningham's clip of Come to Daddy by Aphex Twin from Rage. We were so freaked out by it but became kind of obsessed with it. We'd put the clip on at parties and freak our friends out. I'd never heard anything like it before. 

I was at the 2004 Big Day Out when he played. I couldn't get into the boiler room for the beginning. By the time I got in I must have entered during a chill moment in the set and everyone's drugs had kicked in. I remember being disappointed there were no visuals other than a screen with train doors and being utterly bored and left. Not my proudest music moment and I cringe as I write this. A bunch of my friends and partner saw that show and like to remind me how good it was.
