Product Details

Largely beatless and built from texture rather than rhythm, Richard D. James created something that resists easy categorization even three decades on. Where the first Selected Ambient Works leaned into techno and rave culture, Volume II pushed into genuinely uncharted territory, drawing comparisons to Eno-era ambient music while sounding like nothing that came before or after it. The expanded edition adds material that deepens an already haunting catalog.

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.
