Released on October 4th to mark its 30th anniversary, Selected Ambient Works Volume II (Expanded Edition) draws on lucid dreaming and synesthesia to explore the resonant sounds of a power plant. Through tactless arrangements and structured compositions, Aphex Twin orchestrates a sonic journey that is by turns beautiful, nightmarish, soulful and exciting. The album received wide recognition from leading music magazines such as pitchfork ranks it as the second best ambient album of all time.
