Growing up I listened to whatever was on the radio or what Indian music my Dad was listening to. In 1986 I discovered Hip Hop and that changed everything for me, loved it, obsessed over it, it was all I listened to until I started University. I then opened my mind and realized there is so much other brilliant music out there to listen to and enjoy. I only discovered Aphex Twin in the mid to late 90's, I was blown away by Selected Ambient Works Vol I. I then listend to Selected Ambient Works Vol II and was surprised with how different it was, I had never heard this "ambient" music before and the sounds were so unique and foreign yet so pleasing. That album has always remained very important to me, so it was with great delight that on October 1 I was able to grab a copy of the vinyl repress of SAW II. I don't think I have been so excited about buying an album since "Wu-tang Forever." As a bonus the record shop even threw in a SAW II poster! Have been listening to that album all week, they did a great job of pressing the vinyl, this weeks track is loosely inspired by the album. Thanks for listening, and everyone give SAW II a listen this week.

The high strings are a nice touch that give this your own sound especially with those really cool flowering/evolving synths. Excellent work and mellow vibes throughout this track. That must be a sweet poster
