And really, the pairing couldn't be any more delicious." --Marke Bieschke, San Francisco Bay Guardian"A must-read for those interested in the artist." --Alarm Will Sound"Like all good critical studies, Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Volume II doesn't provide the illusion of closure; rather, it expands minds, fostering the creation of textual meaning. Mentioned on "Line Out" (The Stranger), February 2014 "If you're already a fan of Aphex Twin, you'll revel in Weidenbaum's deep dive into one of the artist's signature works. I can offer no higher praise" - Paul Gleason, "Caught in the Carousel" . If not, you'll be surprised to learn that you've likely already heard his music in one form or another." - S.T. Vanairsdale"I love how it evokes the way music circa 1994 was suffused with unknowable data." --Rob Sheffield"The chillout room masterpieces
In the United States, it was his first full length on Sire Records (home to Madonna and Depeche Mode), which helped usher in Richard D. Choreographers and film directors began to employ it to their own ends, and in the intervening decades this background music came to the fore, adapted by classical composers who reverse-engineer its fragile textures for performance on acoustic instruments.

A brief but dense essay on an impenetrable album M. Austin Marc Weidenbaum had an uphill battle with writing about an almost entirely instrumental record, where only 1 track had an official title, and the artist has been notoriously reticent to interviews recently. Weidenbaum tackles the record from every conceivable direction, finding fertile ground in the "beatless" tag applied to the record early on, its influence on (and how it was influenced by) ambient music, the myriad ways the record has been dissected, adapted, and performed, and the very concept of untitled music has on both how it's perc. Time capsule of the ambient early '90s These 33 1/3 books are always a mixed bag since you don't know what angle(s) the author will choose to take. I consider this volume on Aphex Twin's SAWII one of the better ones because of how Weidenbaum positions the album in the context in which it was released. The early- to mid-1990s were a time of strange popularity for all kinds of electronic music (even though electronic music has been composed since the 1960s and continues to be composed now) and SAWII is one of the strangest albums within the period because it bucks so many of the t. I'd give I'd give 4 and a half star if I could Trond Berger I'm impressed by this book, as it comes close to embody what I want the 33 1/3 series to be like: an insightful, written documentary that shines through as a labour of love without losing its journalistic cool. Weidenbaum nails all this with an album I thought was very unlikely to appear in this series in the first place. I think I laughed when I first saw the announcement for it. Yes, I'm impressed. I hope he writtes about an Autechre album next, or Stereolab's Transient Random Noise Bursts With Announcements.
