are the inside photos blurry? hard to distinguish? or do you actually see a clear photo of cliffs etc...? |
||||||||

thanks, Glss Eater...I'm sure I will! Seems like my sort of album through and through. And just listening to the 30sec sample of Rhubarb made me cry, so imagine what the whole album would do! |

around this time last year I was excited cause I was getting SAWII for Christmas... then I got it, and I hardly ever listen to it... it's BORING!! SAWI is much better... I got that a few months after christmas, and was oh so happy! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah i cant wait...its only 30 years old ut i want it anyway like it was the third part of starwars....no man...its old...but yet...its fucking good. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think saw I and saw II are perfects but yeah you cant compare them i think... saw II is more some kind of well done pre-drukqs or somethin' :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well done pre-drukqs? Wha? So you can't compare SAWII and SAWI, but you can compare SAWII and Drukqs? Come on now, that doesn't make sense! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think windowlicker was more of a pre-drukqs...or was drukqs a pre-windowlicker? well.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i still can't identify your avatar :) |
||||||||
|
|

SAW 2 boring? *sigh* kids of today mutter grumble etc ;) |
||||||||
|
|

SAW II is a great album. I have to be in the mood for it though but when I am.....oh boy! Toejam: You should d/l Match Sticks, Rhubarb and Tassels.....these are among the best of that album! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like saw2 more than saw1 and drukqs it's not boring god dammit |
||||||||
|

great new avatar glass_eater! :-) And about the topic: Actually the artwork of SAW II is the only thing about it i can't stand. The concept is pretty cool, but that lazy bastard didn't even bother to change it for the cd-version. I think the vinyl-version of sawII has 25 tracks, and the cd-version has 24 tracks. And yet the cd-artwork features 25 different pictures, and the 6 little circles are divided into 25 parts. Ruins the whole concept :-/ |

SAWII makes reality less present - you're like in a slightly different world, reality seems more cold and far away, it's a bit scary sometimes but so good... of course you have to be in the mood to listen to it in whole, but it's not as mood-exigeant as drukqs or most ae. SAWII is a record to play in the night, with all lights off, laying on your bed. especially for [tree] and [blue calx] methinks. you appreciate it much more this way. it's a great album, my favorite along with icbyd. (i don't see why all people hail [rhubarb] as so beautiful, making them cry though.) it has the only tracks which i would ever consider as "scary", especially [spots] but some others are dark/scary as well! (if you have the UK version you'll have [hankie] on it; if you don't, download it...) :) [blue calx] makes me think i'm underwater, very peaceful, lonely, beautiful... it really is blue, dark blue, under the ocean... have you played myst? i think of the underwater library in the stoneship age... [cliffs] is gorgeous, i won't describe it but it's certainly one of my favorite 7\ tracks. [mold] has this child voice, singing and a bit haunting... [tree] makes me feel like i'm under the ground, below a giant tree growing over me, especially at the beginning... it's the only track that gives me that kind of feelings, no track ever has a feeling which ressembles to this one... the two [white blur]s are great as well, more weird, i'd say they have (especially the first one) a lunar feeling to them... [shiny metal roads] (or is it [parallel stripes]? i'm not sure which one) feels like an electricity stream and a tribal dance, still being ambient... [matchsticks] is one of my favorites as well, it's very beautiful and very warm - i almost always play it twice because i can't get enough of it in one listen... |

Bam! SAW2 is what got me into ambient music. Hmm, the only other ambient album I have apart from that one is Ambient 4 On Land. |

bam? what you mean? :-) |

The music is just amazing. I've never heard anything else quite like it. Maybe not for everyone, but if that clip of rhubarb managed to touch you already, you're gonna love this album for sure! It'll probably take some time to get into it though. The thing is you've got to listen to it not concentrated on the music. Which is so hard when you've just got it :-p You feel like you wanna soak it all up immediately and really focus on the music, but then it won't work. sawII is an album that gets better with time. Once you've gotten to know the music... i find you can just let your thoughts drift away on the beautiful sounds. When i listen to the entire album now... both cd's... it's almost like meditation! I feel cleansed afterwards, and i can't imagine 160 minutes have really passed ;-) |

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again, SAW2 is just fucking a-m-a-z-i-n-g. I've looked high and low for something similar to that sound but haven't had much luck... come on richard, vol 3 please... ... ... ... ... |
