Aphex Twin SAW2 Countdown: Track 16 (“Grey Stripe”)

I am hold out to do this track - by - track countdown to the release , on February 13 , 2014 , the day prior to Valentine ’s Day , of my book in the computable 33 1/3 serial . It is a sexual love letter of the alphabet to Aphex Twin ’s album Selected Ambient Works Volume II , which will mark its 20th anniversary this year , less than a calendar month after my rule book ’s publishing . More on my Aphex Twin Koran atamazon.comandBloomsbury.com . The plan is to do this countdown in the inverse order , from last track to first . For reference , an early draft copy of the introduction is online , as isthe book ’s seven - chapter table of contents . The book ’s publisher postedan interview with mewhen I was halfway through the writing cognitive process .

There is some satire to doing this countdown since the Scripture is already send to folks who pre - ordain it via an on-line retail merchant such asAmazon , but the official escort stand up , and that ’s the target — the end appointment — of this countdown , February 13 . And for what it ’s deserving , while the strong-arm copies are mailing now from retail merchant , the Kindle reading wo n’t turn on until February 13 . Still , the digital interlingual rendition costs less .

As I ’ve note onTwitter , this track - a - day approaching is exactly the opponent of the Bible ’s approach , which is a collection of interrelated , reporting - based essay .

And it ’s cracking to see it showing up in multitude ’s home :

If there are some tracks on Selected Ambient Works Volume II that are genuine to received sapience about the record album , that miss a proper round , that lack the serial wallop of something one might characterize as percussion section , then track 16 ( aka “ Grey Stripe ” ) , all four minutes and three quarters of it , might best stand for them . It sounds less like something pronto recognizable as music , less even like ambient music , and more like a electric storm , a hurricane perhaps , as have from deep inside a construction on a high floor , where the wallop of the muffle is mirrored between how it voice and how the building sways . This could be foley material lift from a filing cabinet in the archives at Warner Bros. pictures — or perhaps , intimately yet , Hammer or Universal , sounds not from a stormy voyage out in the ocean , but from something in the territory of pulpy revulsion . It is an open - hole whorl of savage , easy - displace wind instrument .

And here it is reversed :
