*PRE-ORDER*

Warp Records line up a 30 Year Anniversary edition of Aphex Twin's long out of print album ‘Selected Ambient Works Volume II‘, set for release 4th October.

Available in 4LP format with foil blocked wide spine outer sleeve, fold out poster and sticker inserts, the Expanded Edition includes all songs for the first time, including previously vinyl-exclusive track #19 (Stone In Focus) alongside two additional tracks (officially released and on physical formats for the first time).

Originally released in 1994, ‘Selected Ambient Works Volume II‘ contains Richard D. James’ most famed ambient productions. Legend has it that Aphex Twin produced SAWII whilst living in a bank in Elephant & Castle, experimenting with sleep deprivation, in order to slip into a lucid dream state, the act of being aware of and controlling your dreams, that would enable him to recreate music he had dreamt.

Regardless, 30 years is an awful long time to wait for a repress, whatever the deal Aphex and Warp have made, we are ecstatic to see this masterpiece being reissued.
