Has this been done before? I was looking at it in the 'ography and I accidentally clicked it sort of... If it has...sorry!
But, yeah, so have I. I've had exams, and I always listen to this when I'm studying. It puts you in the right mood.
Sensational album.

I can't really listen to it other than when I'm reading. It just bores me. But when I've got a book I want to sit down with for like, four, five hours - I stick this on first. Doesn't always go with the atmosphere of the book but when it DOES it's awesome :)
I dunno wtf WPCR stands for though.

I dunno when the best time to listen to it is, at night time when you dont care about waking up anytime in the morning, so you can listen for a while, cause for me to appreciate the CD i need to listen to a couple tracks, which can take a while, but i totally love SAWII, its one of my favourite from Aphex Twin.
Its defenitly a trip to listen to, high or sober.

top avatar, reflex!
I fell asleep listening to SAWII on the couch with my cat peacefully sleeping by my side. It was very relaxing. Other times I listen to it staring out onto the ocean.
It's just timeless.

Jesus, I can't sleep when I'm listening to this. There's too many tracks I find really unsettling.
Best time for me to listen to it is home alone on rainy evenings, upstairs on the big stereo. It doesn't rain often enough though.

I hate it, and dispise it... and the fact that STONE IN FOCUS ISN'T EVEN ON THE DAMN CD VERSION just gets on my nerves even more... Stone in Focus is the best damn song on the thing... why leave it off the cd version? I swear, this is the one case where I'd take the vinyl over the cd...
don't take this personally... it's just my opinions! :)

I love it.
I imagine it should be a shock when it came out... as everybody shall be expecting something like the previous ambient works

i dont hate it, i just dont want to listen to it and cant see why anyone likes it :S it seems like a whole load of boring nothing to me, i cant see how it can freak anybody out, i cant focus on any track for more than 30 seconds before my mind wanders and only stops when the albums' gone off....

call me a wuss or whatever you want to call me, but as far as repetitive and subtle music is concerned... I guess ambient, but not really... I like the music to be pleasant... it a song is going to repeat a melodic line or something for 10 minutes, it better damn well be a excellent melodic line... but I find SAWII to just be so boring... to repetitive... it's not relaxing even, overall... so I can't put it on to sleep, or relax too... hmmm, I don't like it at all... I prefer Music for Airports to sleep too!

I think it works well as background music, but it's hardly something you'd put on and analyse. And Stone In Focus, I dunno WHY that song gets so much praise, I think it's crap!

One of my favourite albums. I love the mood. It's so eerie. It's dark, but in a subtle and mature way. It reminds me of being alone in the country on a rainy day. Rhubarb and Lichen are painfully beautiful. Grass is the most eerie thing I've ever heard. Windowsill is the definition of sinister. I think I'm going to listen to it in a minute. I want to hear any other tracks he did at the same time as this. I can't imagine they'd be bad, because I can't imagine anything like this would be bad. As opposed to Funkmaster, I think the melodies on the album are fantastic, which is why I don't mind the reptition or minimalism.
Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.
