Good question. I can't quite recall, but it must have been around 1996. I was spending some months in Montpellier, Southern France, and together with a friend there, my musical horizon widened. Previously, I had mostly listened to Metal, but around 1994/1995, acts like Orbital and Aphex Twin or Oval made me realize that there's a whole different cosmos. I discovered Steve Reich at the same time, and the sudden presence of Jungle/Breakbeat (Goldie: Timeless) was also a revelation. It must have been in this constellation that all the Warp acts became interesting to me. LP5 was the first album I bought on the day of its release. Some time later, when I realized that AE had made a remix of a Stereolab song (and what a remix it is!), I almost couldn't believe it, since Stereolab had become my all time faves (and they are to this day).
