| | Selected Ambient Works 85-92 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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.) | | | The songs are faster and more upbeat than many of the earlier ambient creations of other musicians (especially Brian Eno and John Cage). |

| | A second album was released that year, Analogue Bubblebath 3, for Rephlex. | | | Recorded as AFX, the LP renounced any debt to ambient music and was the most bracing work yet in the Aphex Twin canon. | | | His first release was the Analogue Bubblebath EP, recorded with Tom Middleton and released on the Mighty Force label in September 1991. |

| | Adrian's Album Reviews : Aphex Twin |
| | 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. | | | 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 release ditches the ambient beauty of the previous two albums proper to return to the techno experiments of the celebrated "Digeridoo". |

| | If Mozart was born into an age of samplers, synths, computers and drum machines, he would have made an album like this one. | | | Aphex Twin has alot of varieties of electronic music out there but he is best at ambient and this CD delivers the goods. | | | The songs are all very relaxing and leave you wanting more (don't worry, the CD player you have probably has a repeat button) and the next track shows you something else you are sure to like. |

| | Comments for Aphex Twin, Selected Ambient Works, Vol. II - WWW Music Database |
| | SAWV2 has been likened to Eno's "Music for Airports," among other releases, but certainly stands alone in the everexpanding "ambient" genre. | | | Comprised of sound textures instead of song structures, this release could better be termed as "an isolationist's soundtrack. | | | If you aren't headstrong, you might not want to listen to these works. |

| | Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works, Volume 2 |
| | 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. | | | The music is very evocative, and is a modern classic of ambient music. | | | As a result, it works better as a complete listening experience. |

| | Therefore, fans of those albums will be delighted with 26 Mixes For Cash, which ebbs and flows in a very similar manner to Selected Ambient Works Vol 1. | | | Richard D. James is undoubtedly one of few genuine talents to hit electronic music since its popularisation in the early eighties. | | | In fact, right from the start we hear the AXF Fast Mix of Seefeel’s Time To Find Me, which could easily have been plucked from that very album, likewise, the deliciously soothing ambient Care Mix of Journey, from Gentle People. |

| | Due to the minor success of an earlier single and album, “Digeridoo” and Selected Ambient Works 85-92 respectively, James was asked to sign to Warp in the early months of 1993. | | | The accompanying album, I Care Because You Do, is a blend between the hardcore rave beats that once ruled James’ songs and a more melodic and softer ambience, shown on Selected Ambient Works, Volume II. | | | After the release of “On” and an album under the Polygon Window moniker, James confounded expectations (as he would do many times in the future) by releasing a double disc set of completely ambient works, entitled Selected Ambient Works, Volume II. |

| | The blue album - being the digitally coarse noise album in the pairing - could be viewed as the negation of all of the beautiful melodies and subtle structures of the first. | | | Yes, absurdity has always had a place within the work of this Manchester duo; but here, their anarchic glee in atomizing sound information has released a malevolent alter-ego who has little patience for the silliness of their earlier work crafted from digitally damaged thrift store vinyl. | | | Subtitled "Dread Meets Punk Rocker Downtown" this is a brilliant collection of dubbed out and reggaefied punk and new wave b-sides circa '77-'81, demonstrating the Jamaican dub influence on the youth culture of music and rebellion in England and elsewhere, back in the day. |
