Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Volume Ii Rar

Important Notice!

Someone tried to vandalise the database by deleting about 76k entries. I restored those entries and have temporarily disabled the delete and edit functions to prevent further damage. In foresight I have implemented those functions in a non-destructive manner. Nothing is actually deleted but just flagged as such. Edits just create a new copy of an entry but leave the previous version intact.
This incident makes me think about introducing user accounts where users can only edit or delete their own entries. Maybe I will keep it simple by letting every album be created with some kind of password that the user can define when uploading the log. This way they can edit or delete their entries but not others. There have been other deletions in the past, mostly by people who think that vinyl, MP3 or self-improved versions of albums should not be there. I will address this issue in an upcoming FAQ at some time in the future.
I deliberately designed this project as a community project with wiki-like user privileges (everyone can do everything). I'm not a company, I (a single person) run this project in my free time and it is not my top priority in real life. This is why I don't respond to e-mails in most cases and why I don't introduce updates often. But I care about this project nonetheless and see that it is important to people. Major issues are always addressed at some point.

Mar 07, 2019 Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II turns 25 today. The album was a departure from Selected Ambient Works 85–92 in that it is largely beatless, dropping much of the techno stylings of its predecessor. SAW II delves into dark ambient territory, with eerie soundscapes, drones, and repeating loops that approach the 10-minute mark.

Extravagantly opaque, willfully vaporous - Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II, released by the estimable British label Warp Records in 1994, rejuvenated ambient music for the Internet Age that was just dawning. In the United States, it was Richard D. James's first full length on Sire Records (home to Madonna and Depeche Mode) under the moniker Aphex Twin; Sire helped usher him in as a major force in music, electronic or otherwise. Faithful to Brian Eno's definition of ambient music, Selected Ambient Works Volume II was intentionally functional: it furnished chill out rooms, the sanctuaries amid intense raves. Choreographers and film directors began to employ it to their own ends, and in the intervening decades this background music came to the fore, adapted by classical composers who reverse-engineered its fragile textures for performance on acoustic instruments. Simultaneously, 'ambient' has moved from esoteric sound art to central tenet of online culture. This book contends that despite a reputation for being beatless, the album exudes percussive curiosity, providing a sonic metaphor for our technologically mediated era of countless synchronized nanosecond metronomes.… (more)

Would have enjoyed a bit more inside baseball on the album itself, but the focus on context and influence was illuminating. Like a great set of liner notes, this book sent me in a dozen directions seeking out new-to-me albums, books, and more. ( )

Unfortunately a missed opportunity on the biographical, musical, and sociocultural tip. Invests too much writing on audience reaction and comes off as needlessly defensive. ( )
