Album For Today: Aphex Twin / Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2

Aphex Twin / Selected Ambient Works, Vol. 2

This is probably my favourite ambient album. I remember reading a quote once that ambient music is as much about the silence between the notes as the notes themselves and that defines this album. Each haunting, alien note resonates and works its way around your head before the next slowly insinuates its way in. The music can settle into the background if required, but it is so much more satisfying to leave it in the foreground :)

I will be listening to this when I'm 90 if I get that far :) !
Excellent, Excellent :)

Slán, Jim.
