Excursions in Ambience: The Third Dimension

Okay, I pull this out of the CD case only to hear the 10th track, called, "No. 19" by Aphex Twin. It's a slow, simple sad ambient track, with a beautiful warm analog synthesizer sound that keeps repeating in a wonderfully soft way. Must be heard to be appreciated.

I'm one of those Aphex Twin fans from when he FIRST STARTED (I almost have ALL of his releases, even the vinyl only stuff he did under pseudonyms...) and even though I applaud where he's taken his sound (check out Come to Daddy EP and the Drukqs album) I find myself skipping past most of the harder stuff to appreciate his soft, ambient stuff.

BONUS FACT: This track, "No. 19" was before only accessible on the Aphex Twin album titled: Selected Ambient Works 2. But the CD doesn't have this track it's only on the VINYL IMPORT release (Warp records) - that's why it doesn't have a name because all of the releases on SAW2 were not named, they instead have pictures that he named them with, on the inside sleeve of the cd (like Mr. Eno used to do...)

So the only other release with this is THIS CD, "Excursions in Ambience 3". Get it & feel lucky you found this brilliant beutiful track!
