whatup- I recently started (in October) catching up on collecting a lot of the Richard James discography (the Aphex Twin portion anyway), the last thing I bought was SAW2. Other than the 'Rhubarb' track, 'Stone in Focus' was what led me to buy it to begin with. And, what the fuck, after going thru both discs it turns out 'Stone in Focus' is, I take it, just an unreleased gem. Did I need to go on ebay to find a version of SAW2 that includes this? or did I miss something Also, tell me if ur with me on this, Windowlicker has to be - albeit a 3-track release - James' strongest release to date. That is, pound-for-pound it is his strongest. Could you imagine if Drukqs, a 30-track double album was as strong all the way through as this EP? I think that's why Drukqs wasn't so well-received; it had to follow the Windowlicker EP, and many may have expected a full-length Windowlicker LP. Each track on that was innovative, beautifully textured and added a new depth and suggested new directions for the Aphex repertoire, whereas much of Drukqs' electronic offerings did not. Finally, ending this loaded first post, why hasn't there been any mention of the Aphex Twin album being released in March, aptly- and honestly-entitled 26 Mixes For Cash? While there are only two new tracks on it ('SAW2 CD1 TRK2 (Original Mix)' and 'Windowlicker (Acid Mix)') it compiles a good amount of his remixes that may now be pretty hard to find. I hope he's not just copping out and going for his $ from here on out, and if he is I truly believe he shot his load on Windowlicker and exhausted himself. I'd like to see another album from him sometime soon, even if it's on-par with Drukqs, which I actually liked a lot. Anyway, let me know what u think. .peace |

many have already heard/downloaded the remixes, so it's really nothing new.. |

And, what the fuck, after going thru both discs it turns out 'Stone in Focus' is, I take it, just an unreleased gem. Well, there are 3 different releases for SAWII with some tracks more or some tracks missing. US Version (23 tracks): this version does not contain Hankie and Stone in Focus UK Version (24 tracks): this version does not contain Stone in Focus Vinyl Version (25 tracks): this version contains all tracks. The vinyl version is pretty rare though, but "Stonce in Focus" is also available on a sampler called "Excursions in Ambience". |

why that, of all the tracks on that album, is the one left off is beyond me.. I do understand it might have been added onto the vinyl to fill the side up.. is Excursions in Ambience a compilation or a limited promo sampler? |

Yeah, stone in focus is my favorite song from that album and I dont' even have it on a real cd. Shame. How can you not like cliffs though? |

vinyl has more "space" than cds, and stone in focus is 10 minutes, you do the math |

Of course he's going for the $, RDJ wouldn't be quite the same without his shameless greed ;) |

depending on what youre cutting, you can usually get about 20 minutes per side on vinyl at 33 rpm |
