2003: I knew Syx because of their tour with Statovarius. In Summer of '03 I found "The Oddyssey" an was blown away. Soon after this one, all the other albums followed and the rest is history...
 
Around '98 or '99, can't say for sure. I had been recently hooked up on Rhapsody and Dream Theater by a friend, and I asked him for something more like that. He lent me TDWOT, but I soon returned it for some reason. Eventually, the rhythm of Pharaoh kept beating in my head (it might have helped being a drummer, who knowns) and borrowed it once more. The rest is history...

btw, can ya recommend some band like SymphX, something like that? ;)
 
96-97 i heard the Damnation Game for the first time....didn't hate it but i didn't rate it. Then i heard DWOT a few months/year later...same story. I liked the guitar a lot but the songs didn't do it for me. After that my friend/other guitarist in my band would play me the new stuff when it came out....i'd hear a song or two, borrow the cd for a few weeks but never got hooked.....i bought Star One-Space Metal when it came out and really was blown away by Russell. Then i got Odyssey a little bit later and that was the clincher.....bought all the back catalogue and realised that SyX were awesome.
 
2002 at school. The head of our computer lab was a big prog fan, and I remember he had "The Accolade II" and "The Turning" playing. I just loved how both beautifully epic and heavy it sounded. I heard how awesome Divine Wings was, so I got that one first. It's been love ever since.

Maybe they didn't have DWOT cuz it was released 97, heh.

LOL! THAT could very well be. The nineties were so long ago!
It was most likeley 96-97. Back when the only way to get Sy-X's stuff was on Japan's Zero label....... I should stop posting on the sly from work!

1998: The Accolade on an Inside Out music sampler in the release of Winter Rose purchased in the UK :) Sometimes you just have to stumble upon the right things.

Thats exactly how I got to know them. And that means I have voted a year to early in the poll.

I got to know them in the summer of 1998.
 
About '02. I first heard of them in 2000 when I saw the New Mythology album review. At the time I was thinking, "I've never heard of em... they must be a shitty band." Then my friend actually sent some of their stuff. Sea of Lies did it for me in '02 and I've been hooked since.
 
it was 2002, and i had heard that syx did a song that was 24 minutes long, and i really wanted to hear it. So I bought the odyssey and listened to only the title track for about a week before even going to the rest of the cd.
