	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.)

		Aphex Twin, was for his breakthrough in minimalistic, ambient techno on his debut Selected Ambient Works 85-92, and his second album Selected Ambient Works Vol.
		When the ambient part gives way to the techno beat, the song is at it's best, but sadly that isn't often enough.
		The ambient section is very nice, but the keyboard is a bit too piercing for the type of song that I feel this should be.

		2, was so minimal as to be barely conscious in what appeared to be an elaborate joke on the electronic community.
		Follow-ups showed James gradually returning to his hardcore and acid roots, even while his stated desire to crash the British Top Ten (and perform on Top of the Pops) resulted in a series of cartoonish pop songs whose twisted genius was near-masked by their many absurdities.
		As his star began to shine, several bands approached him to remix their work, and he complied, with mostly unrecognizable reworkings of tracks by St. Etienne, the Cure, Jesus Jones, Meat Beat Manifesto and Curve.

		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.
		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.
		I guess the term "ambient" fits best, but its really a case of no lable being sufficiently decriptive enough to describe what is here.

		I only recently got into Aphex Twin; having heard Selected Ambient Works Volume 1 and deciding that it was one of the best albums I had ever heard, I went out and got this, 26 Mixes for Cash and the Come to Daddy mini-album.
		Two hours of ambient music is a lot, but if you really listen the changes in the music are very subtle and clever indeed.
		CD 2 encompasses some industrial sounds and haunting vibes of the sort you would not want to listen to on your own in a wood at night.

	VH1.com : Aphex Twin : Biography
		(If the title Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is to be believed, it contains recordings made at the age of 14.) Inspired by acid house in the late '80s, James began DJing raves around Cornwall.
		The Orb had proved the commercial viability of ambient house with their chart-topping "Blue Room" single, and R&S scrambled to find useful material from its own artists.
		Simply stated, it was a masterpiece of ambient techno, the genre's second work of brilliance after the Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld.

		Richard James working under his most famous guise, Aphex Twin, released this collection which is still one of the most significant electronic albums ever released and, yes, RDJ is both a genius and a calculated, smart-arsed iconoclast, but a con-artist he ain't.
		Disc 2 has the more beautiful tracks including the only really "named" track (all of the tracks are nameless but have pictures except this one) in "Blue Calx".
		SAW VOL 2 is something you could play on repeat all night as you sleep, or while you are just sitting around reading, studying.

	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.
		It's truly ambitious piece of work that was released as a single in the UK and charted at number thirty nine, I believe.

		For fans of 'Selected Ambient Works 85-92', 'Selected Ambient Works II' came as a huge surprise.
		Volume II is strictly ambient and has a much darker, eerier feel to it than any part of Volume I. Whereas Volume I was a tudy in dreamy atmospheres laid on top of danceable beats, Volume II is strictly 'chill-out' music for the morning after.
		work are truly the loveliest music that I have experienced in my life.

	APHEX TWIN - 26 Mixes For Cash
		For many, Richard D.James is perhaps most fondly remembered for his early Selected Ambient Works releases in the early-to-mid-nineties.
		For those who preferred the haunting, dark ambience of Selected Ambient Works Vol 2, Kinestheisa’s Triachus and Jesus Jones’ Zeros And Ones will be particularly well received.
		Few have pushed boundaries and worked within genres with such enthusiasm, flair and humour, and this double-CD showcases Richard D. James in all his naked glory.

		ambient works is a correct title, some of the synth melodies are amazing, i think the R & S era his best, but maybe that is my age???

		Another three note melody joins it in time, a hint at a beat works its way in as if it's just hanging out on the track because it doesn't have anything better to do.
		Having listened to this track a few times, I now realise it really is quite beautiful, and creates the image of the first, delicate little flower germinating and growing in the wake of a nuclear holocaust.
		Sounds very calm, with a hum like some kind of laboratory, on the moon, where a scientist is working diligently to create the most perfectly white light in existence.

		Hexagon is reminiscent of the Aphex of earlier works, with an actual beat and pulsing synth.
		These tracks as an album form what is likely one of the greater ambient experiences you could have in recent memory.

		Your soundtrack is Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works II.
		The two-disk Selected Ambient Works II has no names for tracks, only shapes and colors (six different variations on a geometrically partitioned circle on each disk, but this has nothing to do with the number of songs on the disk- there are eleven on the first, twelve on the second).
		The first disk is a little too depressing for me. It is truly a trip to listen to the entire thing from start to finish.

		The inspiration for the record was based on the works of the artist and poet William Blake (1757 - 1827).
		The basic substance of the lyrics is derived from Eliot's poem 'The waste Land' (1922), maybe the peak of his early work.
		It is written from the point of view of a working poet struggling to reconcile the ancient crafts of poetry and mythology with the brutality of the twentieth century.

	Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works, Volume 2
		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.
		It covers a dark ambient territory, similar to Eno's On Land.
