I think it was Plaid - Not for threes. Picked it up in the discount bin.

Prodigy - The Fat Of The Land

Aphex Twin - SAW II :)

does C + C music factory count? ;D

if not, it was Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy, if i'm not mistaken.

If it counts...

NIN The Perfect Drug Remixes.

don't hate

LOL. You posted that video at the same time I posted and I thought "wait what I didn't post a link to any of that albums songs."

LOL same reply both at the same time!!!!

dynamix ii - give the dj a break

would be 2 live crew but not sure if that counts

i don't remember which album, but i am sure Prodigy was my first. Firestarter is still my favorite song of all time. so most likely Fat of the land. i was about 5 at the time when i heard that song and i had to have that album.

The very first CD I bought was Thievery Corporation's Versions... I was something like 14/15 years old at that time... Although the first electronic album I ever had was The ChemBros' Push the Button... My mom gave it to me as a present!

First mature step in that direction was Ministry - Psalm 69 but just straight electronic would have been Aphex Twin - ...I Care Because You Do. That's not counting the Miami Vice Soundtrack cassette from when I was a kid either. Had to have Jan Hammer! Favorite songs growing up were like Harold Faltermeye - Axel F, M|A|R|R|S - Pump Up The Volume, Run DMC/Aerosmith - Walk This Way, Phil Collins - Don't Lose My Number and Timex Social Club - Rumors, so you could say I was pretty primed to be an electronic music fan.

i bought the orbital album because i first heard halcyon on the mortal kombat soundtrack. for the longest time i hated the track ( and "techno" ) and then one day i "got it" and decided to buy the green album.

My first CD ever was My Kingdom by Future Sound of London, which I bought in spring of 1997. Technically it's more of an EP though, I guess.

one of these three, not sure of the sequence:

BEST BUY:

prodigy - experience

chemical brothers - loops of fury EP

BARNES+NOBLE:

meat beat manifesto - actual sounds and voices

I think it was Frontline Assembly - Implode, if that qualifies. First non-industrial electronic album I bought was either Druqs or Confield... i think it was Druqs. I missed the glory days of iddem.

Black Dog Production - Bytes

I think it was Meat Beat Manifesto 99% tape way back in the day.

Ooh, that was a good album. Sampled a lot of IDM too. I remember discovering it because the cover design style was very similar to the Fear Factory album Obsolete.

it was either crystal method - vegas or chemical brothers - dig your own hole, possibly at the same time.

Funny, I picked up Obsolete right around the same time and those two CDs were in constant rotation in my discman for months --probably my two most listened to albums around that time. They've got a very similar vibe... future dystopian metal vs future dystopian dance music. If i remember correctly Rhys Fulber contributed a lot of the synth/programming on Obsolete.

Actually, now that I remember, I think Skinny Puppy Cleanse, Fold, and Manipulate would qualify.
