I've had selected ambient works 2 since last summer, but i havent fully got into it. for the most part i listen to it at night, which is either good or a mistake. one or two tracks may disturb the hell out of me, but i usually can listen to it. I haven't listened to it enough though, ive listened to the 1st disc more so far. Any tips on how to get into it? or maybe it will connect sometime.. |

Ross where in Canada do you live? If thats where you live. Well.. SAWII.. I enjoy that album[s]. with a lot of aphex twin it just grows on you during certain times... it took a little while for that album to grow on me. ... just give it time. Fool around with some other AFX. ... then listen to SAWII in a bit.. you never know. you may enjoy it far better when you dsicover other AFX stuff. |

As I have said earlier in previous messages, SAW II can not be listened too, it must be experienced. It is like the sun, do not stare directly add it, instead, enjoy the way it affects the environment around you. Directly listening to SAW II can lead you to believe that it is repetative. It adds a tone to the area. Think over it and see where your thoughts move to, do work while listening to it. I made another mistake myself when I bought the CD, I listened to it at too high of a volume. This is a quiet, introspective CD, turn the volume down to the point where you can hardly hear it so it enters your subconcious. After repetative listening, you will become confertable with the album and it will be your own. And most of all, enjoy. Music is meant to be enjoyed and this is some of Aphex Twin's finest. |

Good, that is how is is meant to be listened. Keep listening to it while doing things and I think you will find it much more enjoyable. I actually look forward to doing my work now because I get to listen to SAW II. |

Avid Window.. yes that is right. See... I usually listen to it while working on some graphic design stuff.. time goes buy and it just lets me go into that mode where things are clearer and working on things doesn't seem to rushed. Im more calm, and I use my time more appropriatly. |

Ross from Can. on 2001-04-05 23:29 [#00002695] | |||||||||

that also works with a lot of music..Like, if im walking to school i may bring sigur ros, which is generally long songs, and it helps you appreciate much more, because you're not rushing it. When you're sitting down not doing much with just headphones, you keep on waiting for something to happen...while doing work, music passes quickly, even if it's a long song. |

Ross: exactly! Damn.. thats so right. Og by the way Im coming out of Edmonton, Alberta. nice to see a fellow canadian in here! Hmm.. well I like a lot of the longer, more ambient stuff when Im just sitting around doing this and that.. with lots of time on my hands.. and yeah when going on a long bus ride i like to hear [ well and sitting around doing whatever ] I like to hear some The Orb as well.. they have a lot of long songs.. that are really relaxing and mood setting. |

I believe that SAW II is ambient in it's purest form, the way it was designed to be. When Brian Eno, the first popular ambient music producer, created Music for Airports, his entire intention was to create a controlled, relaxed enviorment, a tint or a shade of music. SAW II does exactly that. Aphex also branches into more IDM and drill'n'bass as well, but SAW II is his true ambient album. SAW I also comes close. Note that as Aphex Twin's music progresses, he stems farther and farther away from true ambient, experimenting with new and obtrusive sounds. Take Ventolin for instance. From ambient to one of the harshest singles ever made - quite a departure. In short, SAW II is ambient in it's purest form. |

Ross - Get: The Orb's Adventures from Beyond the Ultraworld. It's classic ambient. I personally think it has one too many vocal samples for an ambient work, but it is great nonetheless. |

No, its not an all ages show , but I have been to so many of those shows and they seem to be far easier in terms of letting people in. I guarantee that you will get in Ross, Sonar is good for that stuff. Dont let it stop you from going. I know lots of 17-18 year olds that get into these shows, so dont worry! |

And how to get into SAW 2?? Well, I have the whole Aphex collection and I truly honestly have played this album more then any other Aphex album by far. It's a masterpiece IMO, and never ever get bored of it, EVER! The album is best played when one is being introspective and all alone......... Dont play it on a sunny day, it almost makes no sense ( well to me it does, but I adore this album). Play it when yer looking out onto moody skies, but dont listen to it to closely. Play it when you go to sleep in the dark, and think of other planes of life, other worlds whether they exist or not....but this album has the ability to teach one lots about themselves.. I think this to be Aphex greatest asset in his music.....learning lot about the very self.... Or if ya have a walkman, go to Kitsilano Beach when the sun sets onto the gorgeous North-Shore Mountains looking all the way westward towards the gorgeous mixed-colour sunbeams that gives the whole landscape this total feel fo tranquility and mystery.. Be alone and just let the mind wander... |

Theyre not for sale yet, and these kinda shows arent usually done through ticketmaster. Either ya can buy them at the door, or most likely at BASSIX Records on Hastings and ZULU Records on West 4th, but I dont think its for the next few weeks or so. |

i'm still kinda unsure about if they'll let me in. My friend Jessica might go with me, she's 19, and loves aphex twins' come to daddy ep. I just lent her some autechre, and she's really into stuff like that, which is cool. Because i find a lot of girls aren't.. |
