ambient works

I cannot get enough of this album - every single track is stellar.. in my opinion its his best release!!!

ambient works II is good too

comments?

does anyone feel the same way as I do?

i just think its perfection, nothing too much on the ears but pleasant sounds!

=D

ps: sorry if this is random, but ive been studying my ass of for this online stats midterm and Im dying here

I like SAW II better , But still, SAW I deliverers. The only track i kind of dislike is Hedphelym (7/10) , but the rest are glorious and epic (10/10).

Top 5 (In Order)

Green Calx

Xtal

Ptolemy

Heliosphan

Ageispolis

oh agreed. i wish i could just put all 13 trax at number 1. it's a wicked album to slow down too. ageispolis is wonderful at a slower speed

dude Hedphelym is easily in the top 3 of the best tracks on there IMO.

I don't know , for me SAW I is an album to sit back , relax and enjoy the rain . Hedphelym kind of ruins the mood for me (Maybe if it was in another album i may like the track more)

nobody ever mentions pulsewidth

I know it's not mindblowing but it's the most fun track on the album imo

The first time I heard it it was like I had just found the kind of techno I'd been looking for for years but had never found.

...actually, it's probably a good thing I didn't hear it until a few years ago, because the main reason I initially got into music doing myself was because I hadn't yet found any electronic stuff I liked.

saw II is intense medicine for particular occasions

saw I is relaxing beach breeze for everyday enjoy

Hahaha! I can't believe how much you guys like the calx!

it's really an AB track

green calx albeit a great track completely RUINS the flow of that album....so noisy and jerky

I just listened to this on vinyl....turns out there is a lot of surface noise which should piss me off, but I feel it adds a bit to it.

Green Calx kicks this album up a notch.

I like Green Calx. I think it somehow manages to keep the ambient vibe even with all of those machine gun high hat lines.

where's green calx on the vinyl? is it right before or after you gotta flip it?

would make sense to break the halves up i suppose -- it kind of does that for me

i am playing teh calx now on my shoutcast fing

captain zepp is tudinal

green calx is awesome. acid squelch, robocop samples, powpow hits and bbrrwaawwrr noises blended with a nice ambient lead. whats not to like

green calx on st. patrick's

I for one quite like Ptolemy. It gives me huge 90s nostalgia for some reason (keep in mind I was born in 1991 & probably have a different view of the decade than someone who was actually aware of what was going on in the world/culture), and it sounds like what techno listens to when it wants to listen to techno.

100% agree

To me this album is all about Tha and Helisophan. They are total epics.

Tha sounds like a journey through the human body, internal organs and brain. Helisophan always makes me think of flying at high speed across the Sahara desert like a supersonic bird.

All other songs are cool too but these 2 top it for me.

Would like to add that all the other tracks are not just cool but total fucking brilliance. 'Cool' sounds rather lame describing this album.

Yeah this album is a classic very timeless and spookly ambient at times, while also having uplifting, blissful beauties ie 'Heliosphan', 'Ageopolis','Pulsewidth' and 'Tha'. It seems to capture a unique blend of sounds and expressions and is done extreamly well. I also love Selected Ambient Works vol II, i think even better than the first. Both amazing... <3
