Selected Ambient Works, Volume II
I've had this album for well over six months and just today did I actually sit down and listen to it...why it took so long, I don't know, it's not really an album where you go skippin through to your favorite tracks.
But I sat there for a couple hours and basically meditated. Good stuff, almost therapudic in a way. I noticed a lot of the background hiss and noise that gives the CD a warmth, an analog brilliance not usually found in digital sound.
All in all, I've been a fan of Aphex Twin because of "I Care..." and "RDJ" album, Come To Daddy EP (?) Windowlicker, Ventolin, etc. But this album just seemed to solidify the fact that this man is a genius.
I can't put it any other way. I don't even like Ambient music much, but I loved this double album!

You need the triple LP UK (3xLP) release to get the two additional tracks (a total of 25 tracks) from Warp Records.
The 2xCD UK (WARP) release is missing only one track (#19) - a total of 24 tracks.
ps #19 is featured on Excursions in Ambience § The Third Dimension § - you could get the track from there...this is, btw, the only way to get it in digital format...
