  March 7, 2024, is the 30th anniversary of Selected Ambient Works Volume II. How would you describe this mysterious album? And was it really made in James’ dreams you think?

  it astonishes me that so many people still don't comprehend that RDJ was a massive troll before trolls even existed. he even once called himself "just some irritating, lying ginger kid from cornwall".

  I'm shocked this doesn't have more views. Props on that editing style, it fits well with the AFX in the background.

  Discovering what went into the making of SAW Vol. II behind the scenes in light what led up to its release simply produces awe and wonder. The immersion of depth that takes place strangely satisfies in a way beyond words. Keep up great video deep dives like these, Album Affairs!

  Selected Ambient Works 85-92 changed my life. <br>Your breakdown of Vol.II was beautifull. Just wish Blue Calx was mentioned as well.
