Aphex Twin SAW2 Countdown: Track 9 (“Weathered Stone”)

I am hold out to do this track - by - raceway countdown to the release , on February 13 , 2014 , the Clarence Day prior to Valentine ’s Day , of my book in the computable 33 1/3 serial . It is a love letter to Aphex Twin ’s album Selected Ambient Works Volume II , which will mark its twentieth anniversary this year , less than a month after my book ’s publication . More on my Aphex Twin book atamazon.comandBloomsbury.com . The plan is to do this countdown in the reverse order , from last track to first . For reference , an former potation of the introduction is on-line , as isthe Koran ’s seven - chapter board of content . The Good Book ’s publisher postedan consultation with mewhen I was midway through the writing cognitive process .

There is some irony to doing this countdown since the record book is already shipping to folk who pre - order it via an online retailer such asAmazon , but the official date bear , and that ’s the fair game — the ending date — of this countdown , February 13 . And for what it ’s worth , while the strong-arm copy are mail now from retailers , the Kindle rendering wo n’t turn on until February 13 . Still , the digital interlingual rendition costs less .

As I ’ve noted onTwitter , this lead - a - day feeler is on the dot the reverse of the book ’s approach , which is a collection of interconnected , reportage - based essay .

And when I fall across paradigm of the Scripture in multitude ’s Twitter and Instagram feeds , I ’ve been include them in these coundtown Emily Post — especially when they take eating food from a restaurant in my neighborhood :

It open with drums like one of Peter Gabriel ’s Middle Eastern sashay , from his Last Temptation of Christ score . This does n’t last long , but it makes an impression . The beat is analog , rough , inexact . The separation , the echo , seems physical , not an effect — it is n’t the separation of a auditory sensation put through a political machine , but of a drum at some distance . Then a basso billet of form rush in . It ’s thick and down in the mouth level . Not subaural , but certainly close to sub - melodious . The tones are so low they do n’t seem to be tune up . They ’re thick go parts that make small sense on earbuds or headphone . Their intended recipient role is n’t your ear but your pectus . Then a raspy piffling Casio percussive . Then a wicked little keyboard Riffian . If Aphex Twin ever sounded like Money Mark ( who was so spectacular on the Beastie Boys ’ Check Your chief two year prior ) , this is that second .
