Product Details

Richard D. James has said he composed much of this material while practicing lucid dreaming, drawing sounds directly from hypnagogic states, and that origin story is audible in every track. Where Volume I was rooted in the dancefloor, SAW II abandoned rhythm almost entirely, creating something closer to environmental sound design than electronic music as anyone understood it in 1994. Thirty years on, its fingerprints are everywhere, from ambient techno to drone to the quieter corners of experimental pop.

Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Expanded Edition) releases on Oct 4, 2024, celebrating the original album’s 30th anniversary. Written when Aphex Twin (Richard D. James) was in his early 20s, the album gained critical acclaim both upon release and retrospectively (10/10 Pitchfork review, #2 Best Ambient Album of All Time, 4 star Rolling Stone review +more). Aphex Twin and SAW II’s influence continues to grow and take new meaning across generations.
