If you've read my past posts you know that I am dead set against "SAW II". Well, over the past couple of days I've had to write a 5 page report in English, the topic is "Someone who has influenced history or society". I chose Hunter S. Thompson. Let me get to the point here... I wanted some music to listen to while working, so I chose "SAW II". I have a new respect for it. It's a beautiful album. I used to hate it for the lack of beats, but now I realize that it is better with out beats. My problem with "SAW II" is that I kept trying to just sit down and listen to it. I just needed it as background music to appriciate it. |

check the [shiny metal rods] track.. it's like 3rd or 4th on the second disc.. it has a nice flowing tribal type beat |

i always listen as background before a real listen, so i like it subconsiously before consiously |

grass has a nice tribal beat that you have to strive to find it... shiny metal rods is nice, window sill is better. hexagon is the best. |

Now you've actually opened your ears to it, sit down, have a smoke and really listen. All will become clear. |

It took me ages to really get into it, I thought it was okay from the outset, but it requires many listens to really develop. |

That was Brian Eno's intention for his ambient music: making background music |

window sill is my favorite I think lichen is getting sadder/more beautiful with each listen of course, there's rhubarb.. which is probably the strongest ambient excursion of the album and his career.. I think I'd put quino-phec in the top 5 of that album.. heh.. of course if it was actually ON that album ;) I'd be saying the same about white blur 2 and stone in focus if they weren't 2 times longer than they should be |

Erik Satie invented "background music", or "furniture" music as he called it... |

I have the cd.. I wanted a version w/ stone in focus.. but then again it's really not worth it.. and not all versions of the vinyl relase have that track so forget about that. what about that other track left off? hankie? I've only heard about the first 15 seconds of it.. is that any good? why were these two left off? |

yeah sawII is wicked, the cover art is wicked aswell i think (i like sunsets on walls) "Erik Satie invented "background music", or "furniture" music as he called it... " he also said he wanted to make music which people could listen to whilst eating dinner, which i think is slightly less wicked cos it might well make him the 'grandfather of muzak' Brian Enos not bald is he? on all the pictures ive seen of him (which are probably old) he has a big fuck off weird coloured mullet. |
