Aphex Twin SAW2 Countdown: Track 6 (“Mould”)

I am blend to do this track - by - track countdown to the acquittance , 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 record album Selected Ambient Works Volume II , which will mark its twentieth anniversary this class , 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 rules of order , from last track to first . For citation , an early draft of the presentation is online , as isthe al-Qur’an ’s seven - chapter table of contents . The book ’s publishing house postedan consultation with mewhen I was midway through the composition process .

There is some irony to doing this countdown since the book is already shipping to folks who pre - ordered it via an on-line retail merchant such asAmazon , but the prescribed particular date stands , and that ’s the target — the end date — of this countdown , February 13 .

As I ’ve noted onTwitter , this rail - a - day approach is on the dot the opposite of the book ’s approaching , which is a assembling of interrelated , reportage - base essay .

This is a racetrack that a good chunk of the rule book is spent on . It ’s one of the few vocal racecourse , though that dim-witted distinction — vocal versus non - vocal — does n’t do justice to how the vocal is , essentially , a form of percussion . Which is to say , its presence is a variety of duple refutation of pick up wisdom about the album ( that is devoid of vocals and beatniks ) . The way the vocal resounds , the meandering keyboard part , the loping bass — all of these make “ Mould ” a standout cartroad on an album where tracks do their best to not stand out .

Just a side note : as is talk about at length in the volume , various factors bet a role in the cloudy definition of tracks , from the different number of track on different editions , to the absence of titles , to the comportment of images , to the widespread use of words in spot of those image . In the case of “ Mould , ” there is the additional divisor of Americans tending to spell it “ Mold . ”

And here it is reversed :
