You like SAW II?
 

Marvelon on 2001-10-28 03:05 [#00046216]



From the ten best albums of all time thread I gathered a lot
of people really like that album... strikes me as odd
really, I tend to think of the two ambient collections as
his weakest works... ah well, must be me.

Selected Ambient Works Vol. II is the best album I've heard
to this day. Thought, currently I am trying to surpass it.

Thought = Though

excuse the typo


 

Johnny Appleseed on 2001-10-28 06:11 [#00046268]



Yeah, theres nothing else quite like it...SAW1 isn't too
impressive in my opinion though...


 

Xanatos from NYC on 2001-10-28 06:59 [#00046277]



I'd love to hear the ambient works he didn't select.

i seriously DONT know why i love this album so much.
its simple , repetative, and at times amatuer. but its also
brilliant in those same aspects. deffinately a worthy
perchase!


 

Maximus Volumus from UK on 2001-10-28 09:37 [#00046302]



Personally i think Selected Ambient Works II ever,keeping in
mind i havent heard much ambient stuff..i doubt it will ever
top this. The best one for me is the one with the distant
Casio keyboard sounding riff. All the rest are worthwhile
listens too.
I didnt think Selected Ambient Works 85-92 was up to much,
however Xtal is brilliance.
Well, thats my bit.

Techno is AFX

Shit!!! There was a massive typo on that one!!! I meant to
say Selected Ambient Works II is the greatest ambient album
ever....

............................I'll get me coat.

i lie kit coz its more, sorta emaotional that mostr of the
other stuff... makes you think more, more inspirational, in
a way. i mean who can listen to somethign like, i dunno, afx
airlines and see places?

BUT when yure not in the right mood for it, its just
boring.

thing is im usually able to relax enough to listen to it
whenever :)


 

Ophecks on 2001-10-28 14:59 [#00046335]



It's boring to me, thought I appreciate why you morons like
it. No, wait, you're not morons, I love you all. I respect
opinions, forgive me.
It has it's moments, but it puts me to sleepys.


 

Sand Lepus from Louisville, KY on 2001-10-28 18:39 [#00046383]



I love SAWII.

As far as ambient goes, tho', I like Brian Eno a good bit
more. Check out Ambient 4/On Land.


 

Smyrma from St Louis on 2001-10-28 18:41 [#00046384]



Of the six of Richard's albums that I own, SAW II is my
least favorite. I do like the textures, but it's too
repetetive and drawn out. But I'm just a dumb kid


 

WW's Sketcher from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on 2001-10-28 21:10 [#00046407]



I'm probably one of the few people who think this, but..

I found SAW II, kinda bland. :/

The 12th track was supposedly preety good or so i've heard.

I dunno, i think most fans will be intrigued and fascinated
by the intricately detailed music of the Aphex Twin

But, still...it's just too bland for me, ah well. :/

SAW I still rocks. :)

There are brilliant tracks and there are boring tracks on
it. It´s not like it´s Das wohltemperierte klavier or
anything..


 

mister from nz on 2001-10-28 23:39 [#00046449]



i think selected 85-92 is extremely good. bit of nostalgia
for the old folks !
