I Could Listen To Stone In Focus Forever

Yeah, same actually. This isn't on my SAW2, which is a shame cos it's an effin lush track.

you and everyone else in here

get the excursions in ambience cd if you don't have a proper copy.

Hilarious to scrap over song titles. Also hilarious that in 2014 there are people who think ambient tracks don't need or deserve names?

Thread in focus.

And anyway, back to the track, one of the reasons I find it so engaging is because it constantly shifts in tempo, and that is definitely harder to notice unless you're paying close attention to the metronome/clock sound in the back. So weird and alien, yet so effectively calming and sad too.

only for £40!!!! whooooaaaaahhh!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-APHEX-TWIN-SELECTED-AMBIENT-WORKS-VOLUME-II-3LP-Ltd-Num-Brown-Vinyl-/261650368742?pt=UK_Records&hash=item3ceb93c8e6

erm... SAW II vinyls colour brown, rare & nobody is interested? fake?

cuz the brown pressings sound like shit and are more common than the regular black pressings which actually sound good!

Sorry to sound like a n00b here, but how can I purchase an electronic copy of this legally? Bleep doesn't have it, nor does iTunes. I keep listening to it on youtube, but I want my own copy for listening when I don't have an Internet connection.

 

Most definitely worthy of experiencing outside of YouTube.

 

Uncertain if there is a proper digital option at this time, you could however purchase “Excursions in Ambience 3: Third Dimension” on CD and rip into your library. May be the most economical route. Some copies are reasonable on amazon or discogs.

Thanks for the tip, guys. Actually, back in the day, I bought EIA2 and EIA4, since that was the only way for me to find out about new artists (pre-Internet connection for my household in the mid-90s). I learned about Locust that way, and there was a really good Orb side project called Schizophrenia, if I remember correctly. Anyway, time to track down EIA3.

i've been wondering for a while, does anyone know what the synth he used in this track was? it's so deliciously warm. (and if anyone knows, the one used in blue calx too?)

Warp needs to do a proper vinyl reissue of S.A.W II with this and "Hankie".

Couldn't resist picking up the 1972 version at my local record shop recently and it's a bit of a tease as there are clicks and pops on parts of certain tracks as well as straight up distortion in other areas. Such a classic album, I can't fathom why Warp has not reissued this yet. It would sell like hot cakes.

I really wish people would stop calling these tracks by these made up names... it's #19, not "stone in focus".

Giving these tracks names/descriptions only serve to limit their interpretation. That's why Richard didn't name them to begin with.

How do you feel about Richard publishing alternate versions of rhubarb under the name rhubarb?

Harmonicom

Modal 10

go on then

just finished listening to it after a very frustrating day at work. Perfect way to relieve the stress.

benoit pioulard did a cover of this, it's deece

i call this track "god snoring" btw.

Bump in focus.

I have listened to this track for several consecutive forevers now, and I plan to continue.

I listened to this track for a year straight, then finally decided to turn it off. And yet it kept going.
