Re: (313) first techno record - summary

[Thorin Teague]

I personally didn't find SAW2 that challenging or inaccessable at all. To 
me, it is simply beautiful music. It did, however, completely change the way 
I think about what music is and can be, and furthermore became one of those 
albums that defines a year (1995 I believe it was for me). Every time I hear 
it I think of things that happened during that time period. I think you know 
what I'm talking about. 

As a matter of fact, my CD's are getting wore out... I need to replace them.

I don't even think the two albums are even comparable, despite the names. 
They're both brilliant, but totally different SAWII is *very* minimal and 
textural...ambient in the truest sense. It's a lot less accessible than 
the first one, which is probably why you've seen bad reviews. You either 
love it, or just don't get it at all I guess. It's not for everyone, but 
I'd say it's definitely worth getting if you like more challenging stuff.
