it's a load of wank |

one of the best things that ever happened to me. try to listen to it at place you never have been before - stoned |
||||||||

I don't personally understand how some of this can be called brilliant music... if a song is just composed of a few notes which repeat for 10 minutes, how is that genius? It might sound pretty, but really what is so hard about that? |
||||||||

I see you're viewpoint, but it's a matter of opinion. imo it's great. |

who ever said that to be genious something had to be complicated? where i see it as genious is because it's really different than the music of it's time, you can lose yourself totaly in it yet having your thought not too much affected by it... and it's repetitive on purpose, so it's not a case of hard to do or not, it won't have the same effect if non-repetitive the genious is also to make music like he wanted and not like people wanted (especially SIRE who was right fucked with the non-womercial succes of SAWII) anyway this is all IMO off course |

musically its not very interesting or imaginative, but jesus christ its relaxing...just sounds so fucking good! best music to chill out to....fuck it i'm going to go listen to it now.. |

i love saw2 cd2 is my fauvorite great music for having sex (but not all tracks) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

SAWII is the universe burned on to two plastic discs...the music is just beyond perception. Along with Classics, it's my favourite Aphex album. |
||||||||
|

A very Good album. Good for sleeping and having sex ! Lot of sensations !! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
never had sex with saw 2.i'll try. anyway if it would be more complex it would lose his ipnotic quality,draft is complex but really doesn't go anywhere. now i'm listening to it again in these days this is the music that represents me really. listening to cd2 song 3. |
||||||||

i dont really care what an album was like at the time, right now it sounds dated to me, the sounds are primitive and that annoys me too much for me to be relaxed by it...some tracks are ok, esp cd2trk10 and the last track on cd1, but most tracks i never listen to, they are just plain boring...then again almost no music relaxes me and i dont want it to, i dont spend money on something so i can go to sleep and not notice its there... :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so 1994 (?) is already dated? that must limit your musical horizons quite a bit... =/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
gezz, i find most of afx's stuff relaxing. do you like fingerbib or yellow calx? obviously not cuz they are very relaxing. |
||||||||

the best cd in my opinion. hexagon is an underrated track. lichen + rhubarb are my favs. stone in focus brilliant. |

"I don't personally understand how some of this can be called brilliant music... if a song is just composed of a few notes which repeat for 10 minutes, how is that genius?" He manages to repeat a few notes for 10 minutes and it *still* sounds brilliant. That's how it's genius. |

I allways find it hard to describe SAW2 in words, but it is without a doubt another reason why I believe that less can be more, (I find that it's not just about the postive space but the negative as well) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, it's alright... I just listened to cd2 while reading a chapter for class, and it was kinda nice... but it seems that most people enjoy it most as background music... and for that I would agree, it is nice... but as music to demands concentration, I would say this isn't it... just my opinion obviously... |
||||||||

One time I was listening to stone in focus and the whole world started to move in slow motion, my thoughts ran a mile a minute though. It passed eventually. It was really exciting though |

I find SawII to be a very spiritual musical experience. There's something eternal about those songs, the simplicity just adds to the overall effect. It's like floating through space, watching the universe change around you. Definetly the most essential music I own, a sure fire deserted island selection. |

I really like this album a lot but I find it hard to listen to it only because I like listening to the full album (cd 1 followed by cd 2) and that takes quite a while but its a wonderful experience. |
||||||||
|

SawII = The soundtrack of life |
||||||||
|

oh man, here's my SAW2 story: Was at uni, went to an all night party in the woods where they set up 20ft speakers and 2 djs and a generator. Goes on usually for about 2-3 days none stop. Anyway, took lots and lots of drugs, stayed for 2 days, came home and listened to tracks 1 & 3 on disc 1 and track 1 on disc2. Everytime i hear those now, man, the fucking memories. |

I'd wish that Venetian Snares and Aphex would release something togeter. I believe that would be interesting. ^_^ The second track of the second disc is one of my favs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the second track of cd 2 it's great.very strange.it reminds me of oval but a lot better. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Best Aphex record. No contest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes also in my opinion this is the best aphex record but it's a bit underrated.some people say it's dated i'm not with them.this record it's really a gift.richard d james it's really a good person. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cd2 is real nice... I enjoy it the most out of the two! more soothing stuff on there, and it's better imo... cd1 is darker... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmmm, well it doesn't sound dated to me... just a bit boring to me... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
This is my favorite ambient record. Drukqs is my favorite 'active listening' record. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and really, for sleeping music I prefer Brian Eno's On Land album... and I prefer that one for active listening as well... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
anyway aphex seems to like double albums... (sawII, drukqs, 26 mixes) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so many tracks, so little time... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, so I've been enjoying SAW2 a lot more these last couple days... strange how music can grow on you, and all of a sudden make sense... not saying it has totally, just saying that I'm enjoying it more... :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i hope you get eaten by some giant killer ants |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're only enjoying it more because you see so many people talk about it. you wonder why you cant enjoy this album if so many other people can so you decide to force yourself to enjoy it, and now you're getting there. funny innit? :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well no... I've seen people talk about it, and from expressing my negative views about it I decided to give it another listen... I've tried to listen to it differently then I usually do... usually I'll focus in on certain parts of a song, like a bass part or whatever... recently I've been trying to just take the song as a whole... and I've enjoyed Draft 7.30 and this one now, more because of that... |
