Kraftwerk - Computer World
Took this out from the library c 1986; nodding gladly along to the initial electro perc and bass, then utterly sold when THAT little synth riff came in at 0:15. Still works.

I have a recollection of the 3 big trip hop albums (maxinquaye, dummy, mezzanine) being mindblowing for me when I played them for the first time. Mezzanine in particular but they all tell you what you need to know about what’s ahead in 20 seconds.

Agreed, Moka. Hearing those albums for the first time was transfixing and transformative from the get-go.

Heh, that one's a classic instance of 'Albums that you know you're never going to get within the opening 20 seconds of the first track' for me.

Rain Dogs yes. I can remember the moment! My friend slapping it on the turntable, me vaguely aware of Waits as a seventies singer songwriter of some kind, maybe like Randy Newman. The squawk like a closet door opening, all these strange tools stuffed inside clattering to the floor
