Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Expanded)

30-Year anniversary of AFX's ambient venture

Selected Ambient Works Volume II — Aphex Twin (2024, Warp) had two companion "compilation" albums. The first was a more techno-fused collection released on R&S in 1992, while the second, more dialed-back and purely ambient, was released on Warp in 1994. SAW II is by far the more traditionally ambient record, though its airy, restrained compositions were unconventional even compared to other releases in that genre from the same year.

The expanded version is a remaster, containing three previously unreleased tracks.

24:A song by a band you wish were still together

"Blue Again" by Vondelpark. Definitely check out the whole album if you can, going to give ya the link below :

https://vondelpark-uk.bandcamp.com/album/seabed

I thought these guys were broken up (they had announced this back in 2016), but apparently they did release something in 2022. I was devastated initially at their breakup announcement because this album had a huge impact on me when it came out, and I had wanted them to keep making music together. I did a quick re-listen to their newer stuff today but it just doesn't hit the same as this album did when it dropped. So I kinda still count them as "broken up". Something cool I read about them too is that they're described as "Radiohead quietstorm". That made my day today for some odd reason lol.

Thanks so much for your question madc0w!

APHEX TWIN ISOPROPHLEX (SLOW) [CR7E] [DIGERIDOO EP (EXP.), MAY 2024]

[rinbylin]

okay... idk at all if this has been discussed or that I'm just stating the obvious. I'm posting any way to get more feedback.

so. can we be sure that the last boat scene even happened (in the way we saw it at least)

yeah the letter was delivered to the intended recipients. the letter also did say 李相夷绝笔 lit. the final writing by li xiangyi. there's a brief exchange between him and the assumed "boatman" asking him where he was going. and we see he spat blood while writing yeah but:

llh/lxy's eyesight had been failing for some time.

Professional Letter Writers are a thing in the past in service to people who can't write their own letters (idk enough to verify the historical accuracy in this specific context though)

what has been bugging me since forever is the manner of speech of the letter. yeah it's different from their everyday speech, but that's actually perfectly fine since this is A Letter so I'm good with it being more formal. but... there's something I just can't quite pinpoint. especially with the use of the 君 jun pronoun by llh/lxy to refer to dfs when there could be other pronouns with less connotations of intimacy (and scholarly/imperial court system) implied and still conveyed cordiality, marking a shift in their relationship. (I'm not well versed with wuxia as a genre enough to know what are the conventions. someone else who does can say something though.)

whatever these put together means (eg. he may not have written the letter personally, or he wrote it in a different situation from what we saw, etc etc.) alongside:

this scene existed only as part of a visualisation as the letter content is revealed to the audience (or assumed to be fdb reading the letter to dfs & guests of the wedding spectators of the duel)

the boat lxy/llh jumped on is not the same as the one he was writing the letter on - the boatman is also not on it despite the conversation at the beginning, but lxy/llh's dressing and hairpin are the same as the ones before he jumped. (the boatman delivered the letter so he's real though.)

also as @wonderfulnonsense happened to have just pointed out in the tags left in my other post: it's in fact the same boat he took to go fight dfs at donghai 10 years ago. (edit: or maybe it isn't? as pointed out by anon.)

if we viewed whatever we perceived in this scene as imaginary (not what actually happened), then the reading of it being a metaphor for lxy/llh being on his way to enlightenment just makes sense. (the boat being a carrier on his spiritual transformations.) especially when you consider that 彼岸 the other shore is another concept in buddhism to represent enlightenment, alongside the motif of lotuses. (credits to @markiafc for the buddhism reading - edit: mark's meta here) and then, consider the beach ending... yeah.

Horsepower gets a Tronic Treatment

Christian Smith’s Tronic Treatment remixes the R&S Classic

Horsepower [Christian Smith Remixes] - CJ Bolland (2023, Tronic) is one of those classics from the early underground days of storm rave, and the first wave of warehouse events in Europe (the original rave scene). During those days, many of these tracks were being produced in Belgium, Amsterdam, etc. as CJ Bolland being a key participant in that early roster of releases.

He’s known for having a direct influence on the next generation of techno producers (techno and hard trance to be more specific), due to the sheer quality of his productions, often getting mistaken for the likes of Detroit, do the toughness and raw energy of those tracks. Horsepower is often a staple for DJs of warehouse/early rave inspired sets, one of the most played of that 1991 era.
