Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Selected Ambient Works 85-92 (often abbreviated to SAW85-92) is an ambient techno album by Richard D. James, better known by his pseudonym of Aphex Twin. It was released in 1992 by Apollo Records, an ambient subdivision of RandS Records. Not all the songs were created during and after his work as a DJ; If the title of the album is to be believed, Richard would have been making songs as early as 1985 (Being born in 1971, he would have been 14 years old when he made some of these songs.) en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Selected_Ambient_Works_85-92   (505 words)

Selected Ambient Works Volume II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Selected Ambient Works Volume II (SAW2), released in 1994, is an ambient double album by Richard D. James under his Aphex Twin moniker. Selected Ambient Works Volume II at the Warp Records discography (features audio clips). In contrast to the fast, club-inspired ambient music of its predecessor, Volume II consists of slow, moody songs, performed much like ambient pioneer Brian Eno. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Selected_Ambient_Works_Volume_II   (782 words)

Aphex Twin: Selected Ambient Works 85-92: Pitchfork Review Sure, the music on Selected Ambient Works 85-92 may sound a bit dated (as does, to be fair, most electronic music more than a few years old), but there's no denying it was the defining statement of Warp's early years, and the foundation for the careers of bands like Boards of Canada and Plaid. Listening to Selected Ambient Works 85-92, one can't help but imagine the seeds being planted in the imaginations of the lucky few who were there when it all began. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is, rather, an album stretching back to the days before software allowed for heavy sampling or glitch technology. www.pitchforkmedia.com /record-reviews/a/aphex-twin/selected-ambient-works-85-92.shtml   (858 words)

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin on CD Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin on CD Selected Ambient Works 85-92 by Aphex Twin Actually, "ambient" is a bit of a misnomer; most of the tracks have a subtle, but persistent beat, so perhaps "intelligent techno" would be a better term. The album is atmospheric, subtle and intricate - entirely unlike the watered-down Muzak sound that so horribly plagues most so-called "ambient" music out there. www.cdmusicandreviews.com /cd3/B00005Y1TL.htm   (126 words)

MUSICMATCH Guide: Aphex Twin Though his first major single, "Didgeridoo," was a piece of acid thrash designed to tire dancers during his DJ sets, ambient stylists and critics later took him under their wing for Selected Ambient Works 85-92, a sublime touchstone in the field of ambient techno. The album charted a course between the raw muscle of James' nose-bleed techno and the understated minimalism of Selected Ambient Works. Simply stated, it was a masterpiece of ambient techno, the genre's second work of brilliance after the Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld. www.mmguide.musicmatch.com /artist/artist.cgi?ARTISTID=327505&TMPL=LONG   (1342 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Selected Ambient Works Vol.2: Music While its predecessor, Selected Ambient Works '85-'92 drew on seven years worth of material, the uniform quality of these untitled tracks, plus their judicious sequencing, suggests they were assembled over a shorter period. Selected Ambient Works is not an entirely representative recording, as these are essentially mood pieces, unlike the more instantaneous, dancefloor-targeted material that originally brought him to the nation's attention. Clocking in at over 150 minutes, the double-disc set (if this is "selected", how many hours of outtakes remain?) provides an exemplary introduction to the quieter facets of James's expansive, idiosyncratic aesthetic. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B000024C6W   (1597 words)

Aphex Twin MP3 Downloads - Aphex Twin Music Downloads - Aphex Twin Music Videos Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a desperately sparse album: thin percussion and several haunted-synth lines are the only components on most songs, and Richard D. James added only one vocal sample on the entire album ("We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams"). All this belies the status of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 as a watershed of ambient music. As its title alone indicates, Water was released as the counterpart to Fire, consisting of remixes by Hillage and Giraudy of nearly every track on the original album, plus one new number, all... www.mp3.com /albums/149256/summary.html   (343 words)

Selected Ambient Works 85 92 :: Education by Design Store Overall I was surprised by the dance/hip-hop theme that Selected Ambient 85-92 brought me, but in the end it was a very rewarding experience. He is known for making great ambient music, as he has showed his talent at making ambient music in several of his albums and singles. Techno, ambient, and dance music circles have been oozing over this album for 12 years citing it as the start of modern electronica and trip hop, among other things. www.edbydesign.com /books/B00005Y1TL.html   (1678 words)

On - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Released after his album Selected Ambient Works 85-92, and just before his follow-up, Selected Ambient Works Volume II, On is often described as ambient techno despite the presence of harsh, abrasive beats in the title track. The "28 Mix", also nothing like the original, is rumoured to be the unreleased 28th track for Selected Ambient Works Volume II. It was released November 15th, 1993 by Warp Records. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/On   (330 words)

02/20/02: The Aphex Twin conspiracy 2 featuring Digeridoo in 1992, and followed in 1993 with Selected Ambient Works 85-92, supposedly a complilation of home recordings made between those dates of several Digeridoo-like ambient explorations, which was instantly hailed as a work of geni(o)us. Ambient Works 85-92 was, I'm convinced, recorded between the summer of 1991 and the winter of 1992. Two tracks on LSD are laced with digeridoo sounds, and the album as a whole resembles not only the results on SAW, but many of Aphex Twin's much later works, even the stuff on his recent release, Drukqs, which is rather unique relative to the rest of James's discography. www.mrcranky.com /movies/hartswar/224.html   (260 words)

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 While Richard's more recent singles have been poured through a thick film of sarcasm, the songs of Selected Ambient Works 85-92 truly represent the subliminal moodiness that has followed him through I Care Because You Do and the Richard D James LP. As detailed and undulating as his new work is, sometimes I feel as though he has lost some of the pensive and brooding airiness that makes his work so unique. Fans of Aphex's later work should find out where his mastery of perfection all began, and newcomers should give it a listen on the basis of this album's amorphous beauty and charisma. www.discogs.com /release/73721   (543 words)

ByteNoise: Selected Ambient Works 85-92 Albums like B12's Electro-Soma and Autechre's Incunabula are similar in style to Selected Ambient Works 85-92's better moments, the former laid back yet good to dance to, and the latter sharing its otherworldly vibe. The album's title seems a bit misleading to me. The music isn't ambient in the Brian Eno sense of the word - for that, you'd be better off with Aphex Twin's later release Selected Ambient Works Volume II. So this is an ambient techno album, with two exceptions: the track named i (yes, a lower case letter "I") is beatless and floaty, although it only lasts just over a minute. music.bytenoise.co.uk /albums/selected_ambient_works_85-92   (574 words)

TrouserPress.com :: Aphex Twin Selected Ambient Works Volume II is, good to its title, concertedly and consistently mood-setting. While the gentler end of his vocal — less sonic ablutions has earned him ambient comparisons to Brian Eno, there's a stronger visceral component to James' work: still in his early twenties, he has not yet lost his connection to the dancefloor. Since emerging from his Cornwall bedroom to partake of the rave culture as a DJ (moving to London to launch himself as a musician), James has been the very model of the modern young egghead with his finger on the electronic pulse. www.trouserpress.com /entry.php?a=aphex_twin   (620 words)

Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - Hotel Resource Book Store This album does however live up to the term "ambient techno" which James is credited with either inventing or pushing to the mainstream.

Tower Records - Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - Aphex Twin One of the indisputable classics of electronica, and a defining document for ambient music in particular, SELECTED AMBIENT WORKS 85-92 is one of Aphex Twin's (AKA Richard D. James) earliest and most fully realized achievements. More animated than its sleepwalking 1994 successor, the first installment of Selected Ambient Works is livelier than its title suggests. Other selections show Aphex Twin working more firmly in the techno-dance idiom, but even these display a complexity, elegance, and delicacy rarely heard in the genre. www.towerrecords.com /product.aspx?pfid=2622604   (511 words)

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works, Volume 2 This collection is more coherent than his previous set of ambient pieces, Selected Ambient Works '85-'92. His Selected Ambient Works, Volume II, is a set of abstract musical pieces that add to the ambient genre started by Brian Eno. Most of the works have no beats, but are instead made up of slowly repeating electronic sounds, some acoustic sounds such as piano, and some unidentifiable noises. www.synthtopia.com /music_review/AphexTwin-SelectedAmbient.html   (303 words)

Adrian's Album Reviews : Aphex Twin Ambient is a stripping away of everything to leave the bare essentials, often a single melody line with 'atmospheric' new age sound effects over the top. This work of music is a master piece.Its a progression in music that was never and still not produced today...I love all the tracks especially the dark industrial ambient tracks,I listen to it everyday to keep me sane.A CLASSIC. This release ditches the ambient beauty of the previous two albums proper to return to the techno experiments of the celebrated "Digeridoo". www.adriandenning.com /aphex.html   (4356 words)
